re: FOUND: Hamas War Manual (glorifies use of human shields)

quote:
“The destruction of civilian homes: This increases the hatred of the citizens toward the attackers and increases their gathering around [to support] the city defenders,” the manual said, according to the IDF.
Is this the quote that you believe "glorifies" human shields? It seems like more a statement of fact to me. Guerilla armies and terrorist groups throughout history have always benefitted from the overreaction of the colonial power or occupation force to increase recruitment. Were the Israelis unaware of this before they read the Hamas manual? Perhaps Bibi should have asked the elders in Likud to borrow one of their old Irgun manuals.
EDUT:

I bolded and underlined areas for folks like trackfan to pay special attention to.
The stuff in bold doesn't have quotes around it indicating that it wasn't in the manual, rather it's editorializing on the part of writer.

You know you come on here every day with your Israel hate and that's your business, but to try and defend Hamas, an organization that is almost unversally vilified is pathetic.

Colonial power, 
this liberal has the same stupid thought process as Obama and his father, Colonialist are to blame for everything in the world.
No wonder we have ignorant people being voted in to second terms, these guys have lost their grip on reality and are living in the land of Oz
Take it from someone who was a stupid, ignorant, liberal who loved democrats in the 70's, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

quote:There was a recent CNN clip showing Hamas rockets fired from a position contiguous with a journalist hotel. The location offered no military advantage other than the fact that retaliation would have killed a bunch of journalists. Are you actually debating Hamas' strategy?
