    Hamas is honest about it

    Hank007:

    "Nice try with the lie that Hamas uses children as human shields."

    Hamas is not keeping it a secret. They actually boast that they use children, women and elderly people as human shields. For example:

    "For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry in which excel the women and all the people of this land: The older people excel, the jihadists excel and the children excel. Consequently, [the Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, older people and jihadists against the Zionist bombing machine that is telling the Zionist enemy we want death just as much as you desire life."

    If you prefer, you can watch the video on youtube.
