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




[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 does not surprise me that the Palestinians use children and women as body shields for their attacks and then show of the dead women and children as war crimes after they are killed in a attack on a missile site. This kind of stuff is common place in Palestine and the train the women and children there to accept it as a honor.

What surprises me is that the Main Stream Media does not know this stuff and that they get all so upset when it happens blaming Israel for the deaths that the Palestinians helped create. I would bet each of the families that lost these children and women in these attacks will be celebrating their martyrdom.
