The Hamas Military Handbook

• Do not build bomb shelters. While our enemy builds bomb shelters underneath their buildings and instructs their citizens to go down to the cellars in case of attack, we will build bomb vaults underneath our buildings and instruct our citizens to go up to the roofs in case of attack ².
• The Geneva Convention does not protect hospitals, religious places, schools which are used to commit acts harmful to our enemy ³, but since most Americans, especially the left, are idiots and do not understand the rules of engagement in civilized societies, we will therefore purposely use hospitals, mosques, and schools as places to store weapons, hide our soldiers, and launch attacks from, and then when Israel retaliates cry that she is committing war crimes when in fact this is patently false.
• We recognize that our enemy respects human life, therefore use as much as possible any human shield one can find. If the shields refuse to be used in such a manner, turn your weapons against them and force them unto roofs or back into buildings that house our weapons stores - then cry that Israel is targeting civilians, although if this were true we certainly would not be hiding behind them.
• Instead of smuggling in food, medicine, and essential items to the civilian population, smuggle in weapons, and cry that the Israelis have blockaded essential supplies from coming into Gaza. No one on the left (being idiots that they are) will ask the question, "If Hamas can smuggle in an almost infinite number of missiles and weapons why can't they also bring in food and medicine?"
• If trapped in a school, nursery, or mosque call for a Red Cross ambulance ⁴. If the driver refuses to take you hold a pistol to his head. If you are then targeted we will be able to whine, "Israel engaged in war crimes! They're firing at ambulances filled with women and children patients inside!" If needed, take a few burned corpses of children from storage that we keep for this purpose and scatter around the ambulance bombsite.

  Do not wear military uniforms, headbands, or insignia. The only exception to this rule should be children who, if, Allah willing, are mistakenly blown up by Israelis (or by friendly fire), should have their uniforms removed during transport to the hospital. Much crying will be required on exiting the ambulance. Even if it is not your child cry, "Oh my poor baby, my only son (or "my only daughter" if the penis has been blown off).
  
• Do not allow any organization local, national or international dispense monetary help directly to civilians for rebuilding of their homes as they will not rebuild correctly. All moneys must be dispensed through and by Hamas; this will insure that homes and apartment buildings are built with tunnels and weapons storage underneath ⁵.
• When things get bad, and they will, ask for a truce. During this period rebuild tunnels, restock weapons caches, and make sure Israel knows this so that the blockade will continue. Do not use this time to help the population with food or medicine.

  Make sure all humanitarian aid supplied by Israel is sold to the highest bidder to insure we will have money to dispense to civilians during any truce so that we look like the good guys and to guarantee infrastructure is rebuilt with military purposes (6).

• If Merciful Allah allows us to drive the Israelis to the sea and they beg for a cease-fire we are to give them the never-ending truce of death.
• Do not waste time asking our petro-rich cousins the Saudis for any investments or economic help since they have no interest in helping other Arabs. It is just as well, if the Saudis did help we would just get less moneys from the stupid infidel nations who never ask why they are contributing billions while Saudi Arabia gives absolutely nothing. We do not understand the unbelievers but Allah in his Infinite Wisdom understands all.

Melanie Phillips Blog, War is terrible, but the alternative in Gaza was worse

The Israelis build bomb shelters for their civilians; Hamas store bombs underneath their civilians in order to create as many civilian casualties as possible to manipulate world opinion.

What people find so hard to grasp is that Hamas actually want to maximise the number of Palestinians who are killed because, as they boast: 'We desire death as you desire life.'

(3): It is in fact Hamas that is committing a war crime by removing from these sites the humane protection against attack which Israel would have respected.

Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Part II, Article 19

The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.

SMH News, Hamas tried to hijack ambulances during Gaza war

Mohammed Shriteh, 30, is an ambulance driver registered with and trained by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

His first day of work in the al-Quds neighbourhood was January 1, the sixth day of the war. "Mostly the war was not as fast or as chaotic as I expected," Mr Shriteh told the Herald. "We would co-ordinate with the Israelis before we pick up patients, because they have all our names, and our IDs, so they would not shoot at us."

Mr Shriteh said the more immediate threat was from Hamas, who would lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety.

"After the first week, at night time, there was a call for a house in Jabaliya. I got to the house and there was lots of shooting and explosions all around," he said.

Because of the urgency of the call, Mr Shriteh said there was no time to arrange his movements with the IDF.

"I knew the Israelis were watching me because I could see the red laser beam in the ambulance and on me, on my body," he said.

Getting out of the ambulance and entering the house, he saw there were three Hamas fighters taking cover inside. One half of the building had already been destroyed.

"They were very scared, and very nervous … They dropped their weapons and ordered me to get them out, to put them in the ambulance and take them away. I refused, because if the IDF sees me doing this I am finished, I cannot pick up any more wounded people.

"And then one of the fighters picked up a gun and held it to my head, to force me. I still refused, and then they allowed me to leave."

Mr Shriteh says Hamas made several attempts to hijack the al-Quds Hospital's fleet of ambulances during the war.

It should be noted that the operative word in the title is "tried" - which means that this driver lived to tell his story. Drivers who were actually forced to carry soldiers obviously have met their fate and so are not here to tell of successful hijackings of ambulances.

Al Jazeera, Hamas to pay victims of Gaza war

The territory's government was due to start giving out the money, expected to total about $45m, on Sunday - a day after a Hamas committee was established to oversee relief efforts.

Ahmed al-Kurd, the Hamas-appointed minister of social affairs, also heads the National High Committee for Relief which will distribute the money to those who lost family members or their homes.

"It will be the only body to oversee and supervise the rescue. We will be in contact with all other bodies, whether local, national or international, to organise the relief," al-Kurd said.

Re-building Gaza

Al-Kurd did not say how Hamas had raised the funds for the Strip, which has been under a strict blockade since the group took control of Gaza in June 2007.

Planck's Constant, Why There can be No Truce with Hamas

So Hamas does not abide truce agreements. Instead of using a truce to take care of wounded or to dispense humanitarian aid, they use the time to rebuild their tunnels and to rearm. During any truce they continue to shell Israeli civilian targets. As for dispensing aid:

Hamas on Monday raided some 100 aid trucks that Israel had allowed into Gaza, stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.

Since the beginning of Operation Cast Lead, the IDF has facilitated the transfer of close to 900 trucks into the Gaza Strip with over 20,000 tons of basic foods and medical supplies.
