not much. they've never really cared that much.

how much do you think hamas will ramp up the attacks in the hope of a few more dead children to bring the focus back to them?

Israeli ground offensive has begun - Sky News.

"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories." Benyamin Netanyahu

Guess they are exploiting the plane crash, ground offensive launched.

What are you talking about? I'm implying it's wrong and bad to use children and civilians as shields.

Ok I understand. Personally, I don't think they're using people as shields. I think that they have no choice but to fight in the way that they are because they're trying to prevent their entire civilisation being wiped out by the Zionists. You could be right, but personally I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt...

If I was Israel, I'd go and launch a major offensive against Gaza right now whilst we're all watching Ukraine.

Sky News has their reporter in Gaza live on air and just asked her about that... "No. I'm not using my satellite phone. My regular cell phone is still working"

Hamnas benefits from international coverage you seriously think they don't court it?

It's an excuse. They know HAMAS won't observe it. Even if they did I would be very surprised. They will then use that as an excuse to go into the Gaza Strip.

LOL yeah cos no one would notice or report on it? erm no... Its rather unlikely this was done on a whim as a result of the passenger plane incident in Ukraine... - they do plan these things you know.

they prevent the destruction of their civilization by sacrificing their civility.

It's israel doing the killing. Not Hamas benifiting rather Israel showing their true colours.

no Hamas deliberately try to instigate emotive collateral damage. hence why they fire from hospitals, and schools and play centers and anywhere else they hope that if israel counterattacks or retaliates they can get some good war porn for the west to **** over on the 6 o clock news.
