Hamas hides behind the the skirts of their women

If the unarmed Burqa Babes don’t have a problem with being used as shields by the armed Hamas killers cowering behind them, I don’t have a problem calling with the IDF giving the order to shoot to kill. Here’s the Ynet News account of the IDF siege of the Mosque in Beit Hanoun:

After many hours of laying siege to a mosque in the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, IDF forces managed to gain control over the structure. Dozens of Palestinian gunmen were holed up in the structure throughout Thursday night and Friday morning and witnesses reported heavy exchanges of fire. Palestinians reported that all the men wanted by the IDF fled the scene.

Some 60 gunmen were reported to have fortified themselves inside the mosque late Thursday after the IDF began encircling the town as part of the operation to stop the launching of Qassam rockets from the area. Palestinian sources reported that the gunmen fired at the troops from within the windows of the mosque and that the IDF responded with stun grenades and teargas to try to force the gunmen to surrender. Witnesses said an Israeli army bulldozer knocked down an outer wall of the mosque, the army reported that part of the mosque's ceiling had collapsed as a result and Palestinian sources reported that there were casualties inside.

Large army forces and special IDF units were sent to the area to carry out the operation. An Israeli soldier was lightly wounded from an anti-tank missile which hit a post along the security fence, he received medical treatment on location.

Forces reportedly opened fire on a group of women who streamed to the encircled mosque to serve as shields for gunmen holed up there, killing one and wounding 10, Palestinian officials and witnesses said. The army says that IDF forces in the area exchanged fire with gunmen standing amidst a group of rioters protesting the operation.

A Hamas radio station in Gaza broadcast a call Friday to northern Gaza women to go to the mosque to serve as 'human shields' for the gunmen.

Military sources say that there were large amounts of arms inside the mosque, and that among the gunmen were several senior wanted Palestinians who headed the Qassam rocket infrastructure in northern Gaza. These latest developments are part of a larger operation labeled 'Autumn Clouds', yet another attempt to stop the launching of Qassam rockets at Israel from Gaza.

The operation, which includes house-to-house searches, is the first of its kind to be conducted in Gaza over the last few years, including the years in which the IDF secured the now non-existent Gush Katif settlements. The arrests of terrorists responsible for Qassam attacks may carry the significant impact the IDF is looking for as Beit Hanoun is considered a central axis of the Qassam infrastructure in Gaza. The army said more than one-third of the 800 rockets fired at Israel in recent months were launched from Beit Hanoun.

Okay, denounce me as inhuman and utter lacking in compassion but I fully support the IDF decision, and furthermore, when a terrorist organization deliberately lobbies over 800 rock attacks into a civilian population or actively recruits unarmed civilians for cover it has no right or claim to go all Geneva Convention.

It’s time the west woke up to the fact that terrorists will not hesitate to use any tactics or barbarism to bring about the fulfillment of their cause which always mean our destruction. There is only one thing for us to do and that is to seek not appeasement or compromise but victory instead.

As Churchill said our aim should be “Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.”

It was true in Britain in 1940, and it’s just as true in Israel in 2006, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, or the streets of Paris or New York, and yes - even in Damascus and Tehran.

Let the whining and belly aching commence!
