Buried in a number of foreign media reports from Gaza are acknowledgments that amid the images of Palestinian civilians, Hamas terrorists are operating among the population.

Here are some examples:

1.  Globe and Mail correspondent in Gaza, Patrick Martin, wrote in his article from 20 July: The presence of militant fighters in Shejaia became clear Sunday afternoon when, under the cover of a humanitarian truce intended to allow both sides to remove the dead and wounded, several armed Palestinians scurried from the scene. Some bore their weapons openly, slung over their shoulder, but at least two, disguised as women, were seen walking off with weapons partly concealed under their robes. Another had his weapon wrapped in a baby blanket and held on his chest as if it were an infant.

2.  Canadian TV correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer tweeted the following on 20 July: Inside Shejaiyya we also saw several #Hamas gunmen. One passed dressed in a woman's headscarf, with the tip of a gun poked out from under cloak.

3. Washington Post correspondent William Booth reporting from Gaza, wrote in an article from 15 July:  At the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, crowds gathered to throw shoes and eggs at the Palestinian Authority’s health minister, who represents the crumbling “unity government” in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The minister was turned away before he reached the hospital, which has become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways and offices.

4.  Another report by Washington Post correspondents from 17 July recounts: During the lull, a group of men at a mosque in northern Gaza said they had returned to clean up the green glass from windows shattered in the previous day’s bombardment. But they could be seen moving small rockets into the mosque. 

5.  The Japanese daily Mai-Nichi correspondent in Gaza reported on 21 July: Hamas criticizes that “Israel massacres civilians.”  On the other hand, it tries to use evacuating civilians and journalists by stopping them and turning them into “human shields” counteracting thoroughly with its guerrilla tactics (extract translated into English from Japanese). 

This story is still not complete ... but the PR game (from all sides) is in full swing.  The B/L if there can ever be a bottom line: The U.S. must always stand by our Allies.
