The New York Times reports a disturbing tale of treachery that paints the Palestinians as soldiers without honor. While the world obsesses about Palestinian "victims" of Israeli aggression, the truth is that the Palestinians are doing everything they can to maximize civilian casualties:
Unwilling to take Israel’s bait and come into the open, Hamas militants are fighting in civilian clothes; even the police have been ordered to take off their uniforms. The militants emerge from tunnels to shoot automatic weapons or antitank missiles, then disappear back inside, hoping to lure the Israeli soldiers with their fire.I wonder why this fact has not filtered into the mainstream media narrative of the conflict? Could it be because it runs counter to the idea of the Palestinians as helpless victims?
