Saftawi says it's the first time in a decade that he's been able to speak on this publicly. Gaza-based journalist Jehad Saftawi said on Tuesday that the Hamas terrorist organization indeed uses civilians as human shields in the war against Israel. "Hamas terrorists used my family and hundreds of our neighbors as human shields. Hamas continues to hold the people of Gaza captive," Saftawi posted on X. "There should be no reconstruction of my family's home while a stockpile of weapons lies underneath. "Goals rather than causes are what is behind Hamas's masterminds' wars. The case for removing Hamas is...

Congressman Andrew Ogles refers to Hamas [terrorists], they should have all been killed, but lying Code Pink paints his words on "children" - falsely. The fake phrased clip is at: instagram[dot]com/reel/C3nacL7tkEH/ Parsed, intentionally. Ogles keeps saying all Hamas should have died and Jennifer Somerville of Code Pink edits it / phrases it as if he was talking about "children"... he ends the clip by: "death to Hamas".

BRUSSELS (AP) — The 27 European Union nations have jointly condemned Hamas for what they described as the use of hospitals and civilians as “human shields” in the war against Israel. EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said Monday that at the same time the bloc asked Israel “for maximum restraint and targeting in order to avoid human casualties.” At a meeting of the bloc's foreign affairs ministers, Borrell brandished a statement he issued on behalf of the 27 nations as a show of unity following weeks of often contrasting statements on how the group should address the Israel-Hamas war.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have wiped out another key Hamas leader as the conflict in Gaza presses on.

Siam was responsible for holding approximately 1,000 Gazan residents hostage in...

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview over the weekend that Hamas terrorists were illegally using hospitals and other civilian infrastructure as shields inside Gaza against Israeli forces. Sullivan made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan when asked if the U.S. believes reports on what is happening inside the territory as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) combat the terrorist group responsible for murdering 1,200 people in Israel during last month’s terror attack. “Without getting into intelligence information, we can just look at the open source reporting that Hamas is...

In February 2017, a month after Donald Trump was sworn into office, the Washington Post proudly announced a change in its online masthead, with it reading “Democracy dies in darkness.” These days, democracy is dying in anti-Semitism thanks to the Post‘s cowardly decision to yank a cartoon done by Las Vegas Journal-Review cartoonist Michael Ramirez, which was originally published Monday, because it sparked an outcry among triggered anti-Israel staffers, readers, and other assorted Useful Idiots who claimed it was “racist” and allegedly unfairly put the lion’s share of the blame for civilian deaths in Gaza on Hamas terrorists and not...

Hamas knows that the IDF tries to protect Palestinian civilians as best it can. Exploiting Israel’s “purity of arms,” and its fundamental decency, Hamas sent out one hundred women and children to block IDF soldiers from continuing to attack fighters in a key Hamas compound inside the Jabaliya camp. Hamas knows these civilians’ appearance will at least slow down the Israeli advance, and may even cause the IDF to call off the assault altogether, until the women and children can be rounded up and moved to a safer space. More on this latest example, among so many, of how Hamas...

20,000 Boer Children Died in Concentration Camps, Boer War, 1899-1901. Very many victims of the February 1945 Dresden Firestorm were not German Citizens, They were Women and Children fleeing the Russians. These issues bear on the current conflicts. You can argue about "justification", but not about whether or not this happened. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts", asserted the late NY Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.) The first modern instance of targeting civilians as pawns of war, came during the Boer War, when the families of the very tough guerilla fighters from among the Boer...

Does that make them legitimate targets?Israel released evidence this weekend showing that Shifa Hospital in Gaza was a Hamas headquarters.This was not exactly a secret. Reporters have known this for at least 15 years.But one thing happened on Saturday which has implications for international law.Workers at Shifa sang a song saying, "We will not leave."Meaning, they are saying that even if Israel tells them to leave in order to attack the Hamas targets in the lower levels, they are saying that they would prefer to be human shields for Hamas.Does...

President Biden lambasted Hamas Saturday for carrying out the “worst massacres of the Jewish people since the Holocaust” while putting the lives of its own Palestinian people on the line. “More than 1,300 innocent lives lost in Israel, including at least 27 Americans. Children and grandparents alike kidnapped, held hostage by Hamas,” the commander in chief said during his speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner.

Defiant Gazans who refused to evacuate after Israel gave them 24 hours before launching an all-out assault have claimed they would rather die than leave their homes. While some heeded the call to leave, by Friday afternoon there was little sign of a mass exodus, despite the UN warning the area is 'fast becoming a hellhole'. 'Death is better than leaving,' said Mohammad, 20, standing in the street outside a building reduced to rubble in an Israeli air strike two days ago near the centre of Gaza. 'I was born here, and I will die here, leaving is a stigma.'...

The report included aerial maps of Gaza City’s Rimal residential neighborhood, showing Hamas facilities in...

Amnesty International has admitted that Ukraine is using children and other civilians as human shields in its war against Russia, launching attacks from populated areas and turning schools, hospitals, and homes into military outposts; all things that Amnesty International says constitute a violation of humanitarian law.Amnesty International is frequently cited by the globalist class as the foremost organization on human rights and has been openly in favor of taking down Russia and its President, Vladimir Putin. However, a recent admission by the globally-operating NGO sheds light on the human shield tactics that Ukraine is using as the war with Russia...
