(30,109 posts)99. No,it's not. Here's the proof....
1. Before November 2012, or in the week leading up to this last war (when hundreds of rockets were shot) show me where you condemned Hamas' rockets as war crimes.
2. Before 2012, where do show any empathy or sympathy for Israeli victims of rocket attacks?
3. Before 2012, where do you show contempt for what Hamas does to its own people (child abuse, child militants, anti-gay, anti-women, anti-christian)? In fact, before being prompted and having to grumble about it, when have you ever specifically called out Hamas for using their population as one big human shield, wanting to maximize civilian casualties for PR purposes? On your own, without being asked and having to grumble some denunciation?
Go on. Prove me wrong.
