Of 62 Gazans Killed; 53 were Terrorists

Not long ago, the media launched harsh condemnation against Israel for defending her borders from an armed attack.  During the recent actions in Gaza, Hamas deliberately sent thousands of militants armed with guns, knives, and Molotov cocktails to try and storm across the Gaza border and launch direct attacks on Israeli civilians.  No rational person in the world would call such an act a "Peaceful Protest."  Any nation in the world would have considered this an armed assault on their country, and they would have taken appropriate military action to stop it.  

During this armed assault on Israel's border, Hamas set up loudspeakers throughout the area urging Gaza civilians, including women and children, to join in the in charge against the fortified border, during which Hamas terrorists deliberately hid among civilians in order to carry out their armed attacks against Israel. Shortly after the media condemned Israel for killing 62 Gazans during the border attack, Hamas spokesman, Dr. Salah Albardawil openly confessed that 50 of the 62 killed were armed Hamas terrorists.  A second terror group known as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad likewise confessed that three of their fighters were killed in the attack.  This means that of the 62 killed by IDF forces, 53 were confirmed terrorists.  The remaining killed were human shields that the terrorists hid behind, in a deliberate violation of the Rome Statute.  If anything, the media and the International Community should have launched condemnations against the nation of Israel for launching an unprovoked attack on their border and for deliberately hiding behind their own civilians in order to carry out this barbarous assault.
