“EVERYBODY here hates Hamas ... But they’re too afraid to say so publicly. Our food comes from Israel but what we give them in return is rockets.” A taxi driver from Gaza sums up the feelings of many whose lives are in danger, following increased rocket fire between Israel and Hamas, whose military wing is a listed terrorist organisation in Australia. Hamas terrorists have even gone on TV to urge Palestinians to stand on roofs and expose their “bare chests” to incoming rocket fire. Involving their own civilians in warfare as human shields is a well-documented Hamas practice that the group itself has admitted to on many occasions, while for them, all Israeli civilians are “legitimate targets”. Meanwhile, Israel is taking extraordinary steps to minimise civilian casualties on both sides. The Israel Defence Forces makes phone calls, sends text messages, drops leaflets and fires warning shots, giving ample warning for residents to temporarily leave an area that the IDF needs to target. theaustralian.au/national-affairs/opinion/hamas-is-killing-its-own/story-e6frgd0x-1226997934042?nk=4ecb8807c9784183617f318f171e10aa
