Amateurish Hamas Hits Palestinian Territory
100+ Times with Own Rockets

10% of Qassams fired never even make it out of the 
dinky Gaza Strip- some see this as intentional

'Submit to Allah, or I will blow-up my neighbor's garage!'

Ironic it is -given the non-stop trumpeting of civilian woes seen in Hamas'
(and liberal Western) media- that many of the Palestinian civilian casualties are the result of crude, home-made Qassam missiles gone haywire and roaring into neighborhoods...


-not exactly the respect for life you see with the IDF's intelligent targeting/notification systems, and killing their own to boot. 

But they've always treated Gaza's cramped populace as chaff to be expended whenever deemed useful (or just steam to be blown-off) and the more cynical among us are starting to think Hamas sees immense propaganda value in these all-too-common friendly-fire incidents:

When foreign media outlets. and Haaretz, show photo-ops of children and women wounded from explosions, they won’t mention that the victims may have been hit by none other than Hamas.

Twenty percent of Gazans now are without electricity following another Hamas rocket that hit a power line Tuesday evening, two days after a rocket knocked out electricity to part of the Gaza region.

So when foreign media report that Hamas is crying that the IDF has left its poor citizens without electricity, skip it.

The Israeli government has told Israel Electric Corp.(IEC) not to try to repair the damaged power lines because of the danger of being shot at by terrorists.

Any doubts that Hamas is on a suicide mission with what The Jewish Press has termed 'Operation Death Wish' were removed by Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. He said in an interview on Hamas’ TV network Al Aqsa TV this week, “We aren’t leading our people today to destruction. We are leading them to death.” (video w/ English subtitles below)

So maybe they are that crazy- it's turning into a suicide pact between
Hamas and Gaza, a militarized Jonestown:


Jeffrey Goldberg at Bloomberg News
“Hamas is trying to get Israel to kill as many Palestinians as possible.”

...“Dead Palestinians represent a crucial propaganda victory for the nihilists of Hamas. It is perverse, but true. 

It is also the best possible explanation for Hamas’s behavior, because Hamas has no other plausible strategic goal here.”

But hey, you don't have to believe us conspiracy-obsessed neo-con nut cases... if you're intellectually honest and trying to make sense of the current conflict, listen to Hamas' own spokesman just two days ago:
