maiming the Fatah militants? Fatah movement exists since the 70s and is the only representative of the Palestinian people. Hamas means only trouble for the Palestinians.

that AI is capable of nibbling on the hand that feeds it?

I can't believe it....Amnesty International has actually criticized Hamas. What's next....recognizing Israel as legitimate ?

Israel. But there will be no marches in the cities for the poor civilians being attacked by Hamas, because that's not the point. Marches are only to show hatred toward Israel. Such hypocrisy.

{ * ~ m e o w ~ * }

hamas is the definition of what a fascist is. and the longer they stay in power, the worse it will be for every palestinian man, woman, child.

for those of you with goldfish memories next time there is criticism of israel and the inevitable cry goes up "where are these so-called human rights groups when Hamas commits atrocities"

Come on Europeans,where are all the protests of these slaughter of Pal's OOps i forgot,it wasn't Israel,they are Arabs killing Arabs All forgiven My mistake

..wackos in London, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Rome, Manchester, New York and L.A. will protest this.....? I guess not. There are no Jews involved. Even if 10 million Arabs would get killed tomorrow by other Arabs - nobody would care. But if one Arab would get constipation due to nervousness at Israeli checkpoints - the UN will arrange a crisis meeting - obviously.

At last Amnesty is speaking out on behalf of a Palestinian people under seige from within. Surely this can be nothing new. Hamas appears to have always been happy to deal with decenters in the most sevire ways. Hams doesn't give a damn about the occupants of the Gaza Strip and are only too happy to see more women and children killed in order to further it's own ends. How many more "unlawful" killings did they carry out during the recent war? How many were blamed on Israel?

He! no body around to protest, no UN? what about al jazeera? c'mon the world should learn more about hamas b4 criticising Israel, kill those butchers now before they knock at your door , this hamas are just terrorist, and nothing else. Am ISRAEL Hai

Why no one does. Now is there some way for AI to blame this on the Jews? There must be else they wouldn't have mentioned it at all. Just wait for it, you know its coming.

Unlike Fatah, which was beholden to several Islamic countries at once, Hamas is a wholly-owned Iranian proxy. Consequently Gaza, like Lebanon, has become an Iranian colony. And as Hamas's star rises in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and within the Israeli Arab community, Iran's influence over events in those quarters rises. This was made clear with the revelation that Khaled Kashkoush, an Israeli Arab from Kalansuwa became the latest Israeli Arab arrested for spying for Hizbullah.

most of them are traitors ( collaborating' with Israel ) .... no body care about them .....

Hamas is a homicidal suicidal cult and dictatorship. Is it any surprise that having develop a generation raised on glorification of hate and murder that this generation is capable of brutal murder of Israeli civilians or arabs. If you teach people to kill the "other" - they will draw their own lines

Israeli offensive, its not the first time they have murdered the opposition and wont be the last. We see this in many countries under dictatorship, and haven't seen anyone yelling war crimes!

YOU PUBLISH WHAT YOU FIND SUPPORTING YOU ONLY ! THIS NUMBER 11 IS USING IMPOLITE WORDING AND YOU JUST ADD HIS TALK CUASE IT SUITS YOUR POINT OF VIEW ! AND YOU NUMBER 11 , WHAT WAS YOUR OPINION WHILE IDF KILLING CHILDREN IN GAZA AND WRITING ON THE WALLS RASICM WORDING AND KILLING EVEN THE ANIMALS , YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU ARE SYAING , AND WHAT IF THIS REPORT WAS FAKE ? AND WHAT IF THOSE WHO ARE BEING KILLED OR WHAT EVER M WERE REALLY HELPING IDF !!!! ITS WAR , AND DURING WAR YOU MUST KILL THE SPIES , OR WHAT DO YOU THINK SMARTY !!!! I WISH ONE DAY TO READ A LOGICAL TALK BACK IN HERE !!!!!!! BUT SURE AM DREAMING ; SAME DREAM THAT YOU WILL PUBLISH WHAT AM WRITING NOW !!!! POOR YOU

Can anyone really be surprised? Hamas are barbaric animals and are expected to behave as such. Their time will come.

you see? Before a nation can become one and hopefully a democratic one, the people need to be educated. You can't have elections and democracy when a majority think like #15. On another note, I am so glad the truthh is emerging so that hopefully something canbedone to protect these innocent civilians. I really don't understand why there are no protests and Hamas flag burning around the globe. At least 25 murdered, more shot, tortured and maimed and the human roghtists around the world remain silent?? I guess this means that they weren't silent before not because they really cared about the gazans, but more cause it was a reason to let an ugly monster out of the closets of their minds.

The criticism of Amnesty is still valid since it took them up until now to even notice that Hamas is a bunch of terrorist thugs. Don't forget Hamas was in the business of murder and mayhem long before they took over Gaza.

Ostentatious ?, I think not. For hamas it's normal behavior; their "raison d'etre"is exactly what they have trained for years. Brainwashing since childhood is finally bearing fruit, kill, kill, kill as commanded in their koran, by allah the compationate, in the mosque by the mullah. Torturing / maiming is just to vent their frustrations for a lousy showing on the battlefield. Somone must pay the price, so , as usual ,their "beloved brothers" are it. Men, women, children mean absolutely nothing to them. Ah, but to the stupid western media, it's a different ball game.They have to show (or else) the heroic deeds, the resistance, the plight of poor arabs ; and Govts. of the world at large react and base their policy on the showing of Palliwood's drama on the wide screen. On behalf of free loving people, I accuse the UN of serving the interest of this murderous gang called HAMAS ,and squandering Billions$, so they can continue be the favorite "ward" of the nations, and the laughing stock of the muslim world.

Even if Amnesty accuses Hamas of eliminating opponents and has come round to noticing that knee-capping political foes is standard practice - dont hold your breath. Even if they report that at least two dozen men have been shot dead by gunmen from the Palestinian militia that governs the Gaza Strip since December 27 - dont worry - it doesnt mean that they will actually take any action - neither will this make headlines anywhere and cause anyone to pause and think. How long will it take before the world begins to realise what Hamas rule means - perhaps things will become clearer when Sharia law comes to a country near you - watch out Europe - you are next on the list and not even AI will help you then.

'Well done, Israel: in the midst of inhumanity YOU LIVED LIKE REAL PEOPLE!' The day will come.

First I guess you're little shocked your t/b was published. Now I dont have a problem with hamas fighting us, but I do have a problem that they don't care about their population-dont build shelters for them(dont tell me there is no money- my friends saw what villas Hamas members built for themselves), dont evacuate them away from battlefeild. I'm sorry but the first think I should take care of is MY citizens and soldiers I'm sure you agree with me on that. Another thing, I'm amazed that you dare blaming the 'Zionists' you so hate but yet expect them to have mercy on you. For example, I don't blame suicide bombers (etc.) casue I know it's worthless, But I do blame my govrnment that should take care of its citizens. So if Hamas chose to build its terror infrastructure insde residential ereas, he should consider the consequences. To #15 thats is exatly why I care about you guys, because you don't care of yourselves. You tell me what do you exept in the future? O.K lets see your opportunities: 1.You keep supporting Hamas and fighting againt Israel and you'll get more destruction,poverty and black future while Hamas members enjoy the best residential areas in Gaza and don't give a damn about you. 2.You hope Arab countries will join your struggle, lets say they do: A. Israel wins(Both sides will suffer great damage) B.Israel loses conventionally, uses her nukes and the end of your story. 3.You get sober(with many others), and want you children to have better future of education and no wars and stop supporting Hamas.Highly unlikely option as a result of brainwashing from age 0. So this is the reality in a nutshell.
