Reporter captures footage of Hamas building and launching a rocket - General

[video=youtube;A_fP6mlNSK8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_fP6mlNSK8[/video] Really interesting. This might fit into SH though instead of this.

if this is true then they are the scummiest humans alive. "hey lets launch a rocket surrounded by civilians and get them all killed lol!"

why do they censor their faces?

[QUOTE=IceBlizzard;45602246]why do they censor their faces?[/QUOTE] I think it's standard practice in reporting when they don't have the person who they are filming's permission. In that case, it would have been suicide to ask for permission so the network opted to censor the faces.

Of course Hamas fires rockets in densely populated areas, it's a smart strategy. Israel will of course, like idiots, fire back despite knowing that any Hamas fighters will have long since vacated and only end up killing Pally civilians, basically playing right into Hamas hand. It's honestly mystifying.

The IDF has a video of them fucking goats in the night. Its on youtube.

Its the most densely populated city in the world thanks to Israel.

I hope for the reporter's sake Hamas didn't notice they recorded the rocket being set up and fired like that. There's a reason footage like this is rare, Hamas puts a lot of effort into making sure people who take it don't live long.

What a calm, nice and informative man. I hope he's doing fine.

Oh man, the comments on this video.

[QUOTE=freaka;45603067]Oh man, the comments on this video.[/QUOTE] What do you expect when you see a video describing how scummy Hamas is?

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;45602180]if this is true then they are the scummiest humans alive. "hey lets launch a rocket surrounded by civilians and get them all killed lol!"[/QUOTE] Where else would they launch a rocket? They live in the most densely populated place in the world. not justifying it just saying

[QUOTE=Soldier32;45605262]Where else would they launch a rocket? They live in the most densely populated place in the world. not justifying it just saying[/QUOTE] Plenty of open fields in Gaza outside the cities.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;45605291]Plenty of open fields in Gaza outside the cities.[/QUOTE] There's no doubt in my mind that the IDF has drones flying over Gaza at all times. Don't you think setting up a tent in the middle of a field would be a little bit conspicuous compared to setting up a tent in a densely populated area? Besides, Hamas is probably doing it on purpose so that they can vilify the IDF for killing more Palestinians.

[QUOTE=Gentry;45605630]Whats next, you going to complain that the French Resistance didn't wear a uniform?[/QUOTE] Wtf? The question was where else do you put the rocket launchers? Alluding to an assumption that there is no open space. No idea what you're replying to.

I/P stuff has never been of particular interest to me, however I do find it fascinating that this relatively damning video has received so little fanfare on this site. Yet a story or video about the IDF doing whatever garners dozens of comments and shame-on-yous. I think the real reason I/P wont be resolved is because everyone, including unrelated foreigners treat it like a sport. Cheering for one side, and jeering for the other, all while ignoring anything negative about their own 'team', or worse acknowledging it but downplaying it as "not as bad as they other guy!". You see a lot of that here and on other websites, and media in general - people who are [b]Pro[/b]-Israel or [b]Pro[/b]-Palestine, meaning I guess they're anti-Israel or anti-Palestine. Which I'm pretty sure makes you a shitty person if you run around actively opposing the existence of another group of people. Also I think it's especially bizarre seeing typically self-loathing, deeply anti-nationalist Europeans cheering for Palestinian nationalism. It's like some weird nationalistic transference, you get all the benefit of old timey European antisemitism mixed with nationalism disguised as giving a shit about Palestinians. But w/e, I wont fix it, no one here will fix it and to be blunt I have a feeling no one actually involved wants to fix it either. Hamas sees itself decimating Israel in the media war while Israel sees itself as literally decimating Gaza.
