There are many wounded and needing help in the Gaza Strip. Why didn't Hamas make preparations for the people?

It is likely that Hamas wants the world to see suffering in Gaza in order to generate anger against Israel, especially among Arabs. Why do you think Israel won't allow reporters into the strip? The greater the suffering in Gaza, the greater the victory for Hamas, but only if the rest of the world knows of it.

Both sides in this conflict are fighting a propaganda war.

Because they are all like little children of their family (religion). They know if they are bad little boys and girls they can call on their Mommy and Daddy (the people of their religion) for aid. If they make their mommy and daddy mad, they'll then call on their cousins and other members of the family for aid. Then after all of this ends, they'll have another family feud (like the wars between Iran vs. Iraq, or the cab driver that killed his daughter for living a normal lifestyle in our country). That is why those areas for over 1500 years have always been at war with the people of their own religion. With the way they are towards each other now, they are like the Crusader Wars of Europe during the 1000's to 1200's. The only difference, those ended long ago and all types of Christianity was accepted by those within the religion. They are like mentally ill children on ritalin that can pick a fight and throw the first punch, but the second their enemy breaks their nose they go crying to mommy (their only allies) and beg for help or assistance. But hey children (citizens) of your damn mommy(Hamas), if you throw the first punch (missles) you can expect a broken nose caused by the man (Isreal) you hit first. Comprehend? Understand? And hey those of you in the U.S. that are against what Isreal is doing or doesn't support our backing of them, do you remember or ever studied about what we did after what happened to us on December 7, 1941? Pearl Harbor. What would you have done? He who causes a black eye deserves a black eye.

hamas is a poorly run organization at best, but the sins of the father are not the sins of the son. israel is watering the seeds of hatred in another generation of palestinians. this won't end it.

Is this an honest question? They dint give a sh*t about the civilians, that would help explain why they made their headquarters in the middle of a very populated area. They dont care how many of their own people die, as long as they can kill Israelis.

You kidding? Hamas wants lots of innocent Palestinians to die! Gives them grist for their propaganda mill.

Hamas are abnormal. Their objective is to KILL.

So don't waste your breath.

Sadly, it does work on those who already hate Jews and peace.

well, you know

those rockets

were more important.

hamas chose rockets

over food and medicine.

hamas = humans also make amazing shields

Yes they are hiding amongst them.
