Hamas and their Many, Many, Human Shields
Day 16 of the war.
A source in Israel—an IDF soldier—has sent word to Seraphic Secret that Hamas are forcing civilians to stay in homes and apartment buildings that are weapons depots. The IDF has warned these residents to leave because these buildings are now military targets and the IDF is doing everything possible to minimize civilian casualties.
But Hamas, whose goal is to maximize civilian casualties, posts guards outside these buildings and shoots those who attempt to leave.
Hamas are terrorists and should be prosecuted for war crimes. Even the Nazis built their military facilities away from civilian populations, to protect their citizens from allied bombs. But Hamas have no interest in the welfare of the citizens of Gaza, no interest in building a functioning state—only in destroying the Jewish State.
Seraphic Secret understands that the so-called international community has no interest in the endless and relentless crimes committed by Hamas against Israel and its own Arab population. Jew-hatred is rampant in the streets, and only the most gullible swallow the line that these protesters seek peace and co-existence with Israel. What we are witnessing is enthusiastic support for a proudly genocidal organization whose covenant calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews everywhere.
If you believe that the war with Hamas, with the Palestinians, with the wider Arab Muslim world is about land or national boundaries, then you are delusional.
This is an existential conflict that can only end when Hamas, and all terror organizations, are defeated militarily, politically, and reduced to nothingness.

Lion of Zion reports that:
For the first time in the Gaza Brigade, tatzpitaniyot (female spotters) killed a terrorist from afar. Tatzpitaniyot from the field intelligence brigade opened fire in the direction of a group of terrorists that had neared the security fence and hit one of them using “Spot and Shoot,” a remote-controlled weapons system.

Jennifer Laszlo of The Israel Project, separates fact from fiction in Gaza. Must read.
The brave Hamas terrorists are confronting real soldiers, Jewish soldiers, so naturally they are running away like frightened women. No surprise here, Hamas and all Arab Muslim terrorists, can only murder women and children.
A senior Israeli military commander involved in Operation Cast Lead said on Saturday that Hamas militants are suffering from exhaustion and are deserting battle.
The commander told reporters that Amir Mansi, the commander of Hamas' rocket-launching program in the Gaza City area who was killed by the Israel Defense Forces on Saturday, fired mortars himself after junior Hamas operatives refused to go outside, fearing an Israeli strike.
The IDF official estimated that more than 300 Hamas operatives have been killed since Israel launched its ground offensive in Gaza one week ago.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Good luck getting the world to do anything about those war crimes.
All you get from people like Glenn Greeenwald is that those rockets from Hamas are all war crimes but the Jews are worse.
The U.N. will let all the rockets Hamas has rain down on Sderot but only vote on resolutions when Israel fights back. How many U.N. workers in Gaza know what happened to Gilad Shalit? More than a few I bet.

The image at the top of your post reminded me of some words from G K Chesterton:
"The true soldier fights not out of hate for what lies in from of him, but out of love for what lies behind him."
(approximate quote)

Who is this BB person? Is she dead most all the other lovelies posted on this site preserved for all time as you like to remember them or is she alive and so repellent to look upon now that you dare not post a current image?
And, gulp, isn't she French?

I heard on the radio this morning that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is very worried about how the British Moslems will react to the war in Gaza. Can you imagine a President of the United States worrying about how American Catholics would react if the British army launched a massive campaign against the I.R.A.?
