A War Strategy “Dead babies” for Hamas
January 27th, 2009
To harm more and more civilian causalities, Hamas are starting to apply a “dead baby” strategy, by firing its deadly rocket from schools and heavily inhabited areas, which is creating understandable outrage all over the world. Why the outrage is directed against Israel is still understandable.
When the Hamas fired more than 6,000 rockets at Israeli kindergartens, elementary schools and playgrounds, they knew exactly how it will affect the community. To provoke a defensive reaction from Israel, Russian roulette was playing with the lives of Israeli children.
It was known to Hamas that Israel would take any steps and whatever military actions necessary, in order to stop the rockets. To stop the rockets, Hamas knew already, that Israel would have to take military action.
When Barack Obama said, “If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop that. And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.” at Sderot, a town where more than 1,000 rockets and several deaths had been offended.
