Sorry didn't read it...
is that the allegation that Israeli troops ordered a family out of a building then shot them?
Highly unlikely.
We all know that Hamas targets civilians anyone who thinks they don't is an idiot.
That's all they target. Thousands of rockets and suicide bombers thats all they target.
mantra,
I'm with Grendel.
I'd rather rely on authoritative sources, err, like JIHADWATCH,
.....than the [clearly] PR
lies that come from ISLAMIC sources
Hamas
always lies, it
always boasts of its great prowess on the battlefield, and it
always exaggerates the death among its civilians.
Hamas 'exaggerated the death toll in Gaza'
January 23 2009
Israel has seized on claims that Hamas exaggerated the number of people killed during the Gaza offensive and that the group used civilians to provide cover for its attacks.
One newspaper published claims by Gazans that less than 600 people had died in the 22-day attack, far fewer than the 1,300 reported by Palestinian health officials.
A doctor at the main Shifa hospital was reported as having said: "It's possible that the death toll in Gaza was 500 or 600 at the most,
mainly youths aged 17 to 23 who were enlisted by Hamas, who sent them to their deaths."
.....
Israel....pointed to the vast over-reporting of deaths during an incursion in the West Bank town of Jenin in 2002, when an estimate of more than 1,500 dead was revised to lower than 100.http://www.independent.ie/world-news/middle-east/hamas-exaggerated-the-death-tol...".....Israel....pointed to the vast over-reporting of deaths during an incursion in the West Bank town of Jenin in 2002, when an estimate of more than 1,500 dead was revised to lower than 100."
Hmmmm.

If Hamas love death so much, why do they complain so bitterly about it?
FD,
Hamas
do not want to die for Allah.
Do muslims know already, that Allah has run out of virgins in 'Paradise' ?
/sac off
This,
'wanting to die for Allah's cause', is just another LIE by Hamas / Jihadists.
And this next news report makes that fact clear......January 25, 2009
"Hamas tried to hijack ambulances during Gaza war," by Jason Koutsoukis for the Sydney Morning Herald, January 26
(thanks to Sr. Soph):
PALESTINIAN civilians living in Gaza during the three-week war with Israel have spoken of the challenge of being caught between Hamas and Israeli soldiers as the radical Islamic movement that controls the Gaza strip attempted to hijack ambulances.
......the more immediate threat was from
Hamas, who would lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety......."They [three Hamas fighters] were
very scared, and
very nervous They dropped their weapons and
ordered me to get them out,
to put them in the ambulance and take them away. I refused, because if the IDF sees me doing this I am finished, I cannot pick up any more wounded people.
"And then one of the fighters picked up a gun and held it to my head, to force me. I still refused, and then they allowed me to leave."
Mr Shriteh says Hamas made several attempts to hijack the al-Quds Hospital's fleet of ambulances during the war.
"You hear when they are coming. People ring to tell you. So we had to get in all the ambulances and make the illusion of an emergency and only come back when they had gone."...

The Hadith recounts, that Muhammad declares that war is deceit.
"The Prophet said, "War is deceit." "
