Hamas does not set up their rocked/mortar installations or their command stations near hospitals, schools, or large residential buildings to discourage Israeli air strikes. These locations are chosen because Hamas wants dead Palestinian civilians...as many dead as possible. The more dead Palestinians the worse the media reaction, the liberal Jewish reaction, the reaction on US university campuses, etc., etc. Hamas has murdered plenty of Palestinians in Gaza since they came to full control after killing off all Fatah and members of other competing terrorist organizations in the Fatah/Hamas war January 2006- late 2007 when Hamas became the government of Gaza. The Hamas/Fatah confilct continues to date, witness the occasional corpse of a Hamas opponent or critic being dragged through the streets of Gaza City behind a phalanx of ratty motorbikes.
Later...what Hamas has accomplished for Palestinians in Gaza since the removal of Israeli settlements in 2007.
