Critics and media fall for Hamas scam

Washington Post:
Israel, U.S. criticized for Palestinian deaths as toll climbs

Israel and the United States faced global criticism over Israel's use of live ammunition at the Gaza border Monday in clashes that killed at least 60 protesters.
Hamas could have easily avoided all of the casualties it is bragging about.  All the Hamas leadership had to do was tell those it brought to the border with Israel to go home.  If it had done that no one would have been hurt.  Instead, it ordered a suicidal assault on a better armed defensive position and the results were what should be expected when a commander does something that foolish.

It is absurd to blame the US or Israel for the results of Hamas's cynical exploitation of its own people.  It was strictly a Hamas operation.  No one was killed on the West Bank which also has a large concentration of Palestinians.  The obvious answer is Hamas wanted these casualties to use as a political tool and present a fraudulent story to the useful idiots in the media and in some countries.
