The Alamo
"Oh my! They are killing all those poor Mexican soldiers armed only with slingshots and kites."
With all the hand wringing in the West about the people killed by Israeli soldiers while trying to break through the border by force and while armed, Hamas' own statement puts the proper perspective on it. According to a Hamas official, the overwhelming majority of the dead are Hamas fighters, or should I say terrorists?

Make no mistake: Hamas is the guilty party. Not only have they led the charge against the Israeli border, they have pushed their own women and children into the fray. Israel is justified in fighting back and I have no sympathy for the Palestinians or their cause.
Yes, this blood is basically on Hamas. Its possible that Israel could have adopted a more precise and nuanced strategy, but when a mob backed up by armed forces is trying to break down your border fence, it is to be expected that live ammunition will be fired.
