Hamas Spokesman: “We Are Leading Palestinians to Death”

[shira]

The Hamas Spokesman has been very vocal during Operation Protective Edge, which Israel launched to bring about a cessation of rocket fire from Gaza. His words reveal the sinister way in which Hamas abuses its citizens by intentionally putting them in harm’s way.

The spokesperson for Hamas in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, said on July 13 in an interview on Al Aqsa TV (Hamas’ TV network), “We aren’t leading our people today to destruction. We are leading them to death.”

Beyond Hamas‘ provocation of the IDF by firing over 1000 missiles into Israel since the start of Operation Protective Edge, Abu Zuhri may have been referring to Hamas’ policy of using civilians as human shields. In the following video, Abu Zuhri admits clearly Hamas’ policy of human shields.

In the following video, Hamas’ spokesman is referring to the fact that the IDF avoids civilian casualties by aborting airstrikes.

1. Hamas usually tell the truth

Then here they tell us that they never meant to say that or that it's a mistranslation or that even if they admitted attempting to nuke the area they don't have the capability .

Or some other excuse for them.

4. Good question.

A better one might be whether there is an alternate translation of the word that has been translated as "death". In the context of the preceding sentence it doesn't make sense.
