After sacrificing fifty of their prized terrorists in their latest stunt to discredit Israel in the past week, was it really worth it to Gaza's Hamas rulers? Based on at least one surprising press account describing the phony staged event, it looks as if the trick fell flat.
Get a load of what the liberal-lefty, hoity-toity, Euro-infused Economist is reporting about it:
Every state has a right to defend its borders. To judge by the numbers, Israel's army may well have used excessive force. But any firm conclusion requires an independent assessment of what happened, where and when. The Israelis sometimes used non-lethal means, such as tear-gas dropped from drones. But then snipers went to work with bullets. What changed? Mixed in with protesters, it seems, were an unknown number of Hamas attackers seeking to breach the fence. What threat did they pose? Any fair judgment depends on the details.
See? They are admitting that the Hamas "protesters" were basically terrorists. And it's normal to get rid of terrorists, especially if they are on the attack.
Sounds as though someone's waking up to the garbage going on, and Hamas's expectations of winning the hearts and minds of the Eurotrash has fallen flat. Not even the Economist is supporting it.
The Economist has a lousy headline to its piece which blames Israel, but the article itself is far more factually oriented, and it's likely that the Economist's unsigned pieces are group efforts, meaning that the guy who wrote the headline in some place like London is not the same person as the guy on the ground who went out and gathered the facts. Its blame to Israel is namby-pamby boilerplate, but its indictment of Hamas is the genuine article, and it clearly shows how the wretched situation is the terrorists' own doing:

Well, they fooled the MSM.
I hear Yanny.
Monica, it is always worth it to Hamas. It is worth it to Hezbollah. It is worth it to every Moslem organization. What you need to understand is, no Moslem life is important so long as Israel is defeated. Islam would sacrifice it's very existence to eradicate Israel.
I wonder if the people that were killed and injured knew what they were participating in. Did they know they were PR pawns in the propaganda campaign? Did they know they could be killed?
Even a dog can learn from experience. I don’t expect Hamas cares much for the collateral damage and lives lost. It’s just the price they are willing to pay. But when do the peasants and fodder wake up?
CNN is always gullible
It’s like “being stupid” is a requirement to work there
I hear covfefe.
All the koranimal killer mob "protesters" were too stupid to live.
All they cared about was the $100 a day they were each getting... Even the "children" who were "killed."
Good riddance to bad rubbish...
MSM are not fooled. They have an agenda. As prior administrations had agendas. That agenda was to picture Israel as the regional villain. That’s changed with President Trump.
Well, they fooled the MSM.
The MSM wanted to be fooled.

Perhaps not fooled, but a substantial portion of the media was happy to report it as fact.
FB showed a clip of the “dead” but one of them had to scratch his nose. I can’t help but wonder how much they were paid for being “dead.”
‘Face
You get a bullet in the leg from the IDF and you are a Gaza hero for at least a year or two. You might even get a real life hottie instead of an imaginary ho in Allah’s X rated paradise for Jihadis
