Hamas Admits to Using Human Shields

[shadowyphantom.livejournal.com]

Alright, just found out about this video from a friend of mine [edit], and I wanted your reactions to it.

Watch on YouTube

[EDIT]

Since mijopo complained of a lack of commentary, I will indulge him/her/it.

I find Hamas nothing more than a brutal terrorist group; I don't find the fact they've been using human shields particularly shocking (one would have to expect that from terrorists). Rather, their blatant pride at admitting the fact is a bit more shocking, if they want good press that is. I also find it shocking that they are still obtaining better press than Israel.

I think they should be dealt with as any terrorist group would be dealt with; they should be found out and exterminated. They pose a serious threat to not only Israel, but other nations and people as well. The fact that they are using human shields should not endear people to them; rather, it should shock and repulse people. They stated that they are willing to sacrifice their own in order to wipe out Israel; that makes me rather frightened for anyone in their sights.

Voltaire warned against fanaticism, and this is fanaticisnm at its finest; they are so extreme that they would willingly have their civilians slaughtered.

I do hope that was up to your exacting standards, mijopo.

[EDIT]

Apologies to all for excessive commenting on my part; I have the genes my father gave me, and that includes a big @#$%ing mouth.

I especially apologize to uberarcanist for being a nit-picky slack-jawed junkslut.

It takes a while for people to come to their senses, is all.

Shit - it's 4 a.m. Any flame I may have had is sleeping soundly. Which is where I need be.

Heh. I'm actually expecting it from the libs.

If that's a reference to the Fantastic Four, you better be careful. I've heard things about forks and stabbing.

To be more specific, kinvore does the stabbing with the forks.

So, he's not the Purple-Shirted Eye Stabber (http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Rob/blowdart.jpg)?

Naah. He's more like Elftor (http://www.elftor.com/elftor.php?number=194).
