How Hamas uses hospitals for its benefit and the ensuing criticism
Hamas uses Gaza hospitals as base of operations and interrogations as a tactic, 'They can suddenly take over a ward," testifies a Gazan resident; Gazan reporter criticized Hamas

''Who is brave enough to denounce this continuing Hamas madness???''

What I fail to understand is a point sinkov often alludes to, Hamas fire a couple of tin pot firework rockets that never harm anyone and the IDF then unleash merry hell butchering hundreds and flattening the Gazan infrastructure in the process.

It's pfhucking madness.

Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched tens of thousands,of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by the United Nations, the European Union, and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Palestinian militants say rocket attacks are a response to Israel's blockade of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority has condemned them and says rocket attacks undermine peace. From 2004 to 2014, these attacks have killed 27 Israeli civilians, 5 foreign nationals, 5 IDF soldiers, and at least 11 Palestinians and injured more than 1,900 people. Medical studies in Sderot, the Israeli city closest to the Gaza Strip, have documented a post-traumatic stress disorder incidence among young children of almost 50%, as well as high rates of depression and miscarriage. A public opinion poll conducted in March 2013 found that a majority of Palestinians do not support firing rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip, with only 38% favoring their use. In 2006, more sophisticated rockets began to be deployed, reaching the larger coastal city of Ashkelon, and by early 2009 major cities Ashdod and Beersheba had been hit by Katyusha, WS-1B and Grad rockets. Attacks began in 2001. Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel

In the name of God what are the Jews doing? What does it matter what the Jews are doing ? Jesus said ,'' Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Have you forsaken Jesus? What good was his event on this earth if you are not listening to him? Perhaps Jesus has to come again? But this time He has to come for the good people in Lancashire?
