Reader comment on item: Reflections on Current Hamas-Israel Hostilities
in response to reader comment: Major Question to ask: Why are there no bomb shelters in GAZA??

Submitted by roger spleen (United Kingdom), Nov 20, 2012 at 16:33

I hope more and more people are becoming aware that hamas are fighting a propaganda war where they provoke israel to retaliate and then when their ' martyrs ' are killed ( inc children ) they parade them for the war porn hungry media.

shelters would be a hindrance to their modus operandi . if the media refused to sickly plaster the victims' images on newspapers,tv and websites we MAY see a drop in the attempts at propaganda - i dunno i am saying MAYBE because victimhood and the need for bleeding hearts ( pun intended ) is deeply rooted in the pysche .

excellent question sara and it is worth a ponder for all
