But they *are* standing next to the primary targets. ...and allowing
them
to
be there.

Right, those women and kids should tell the guys with the AK-47s and RPGs
to
get the hell out of town. If you were in their place you'd be more than
happy to go eyeball to eyeball with heavily armed fanatics, sure you
would.

It's happened.

So has the Red Sox winning the World Series, but it isn't something you
should expect very often.

They are part of the problem and are used as pawns. Life is
tough, particularly when you refuse to look out for yourself.

Hamas has ruthlessly killed or maimed anyone who opposes them, and they have
a stranglehold on essential goods and services, asking unarmed civilians to
go up against them is something only a person who doesn't have to do it
would suggest so casually.

Besides, Hamas was elected for reasons someone who has never lived in a
refugee camp their entire life probably can't fully appreciate. Desperate
people choose desperate options, it's not something one can easily judge
from a safe distance.
