Original post by miavdbtYes, but would you rather fire from within a hospital or within a corn field? If you're so intent on firing, why would you risk losing people's lives as opposed to crops? You can't seriously tell me that crops > human lives.
Also, though Gaza does rely on some of its crops, it does get food imported from sources such as the UN. So even if their crops were destroyed, they wouldn't all starve. Whereas, when their civilian areas are hit, plenty of people die. Tell me what makes more sense to you, definitely putting civilians at risk by firing from areas where they live or take shelter or possibly putting civilians at risk by firing from areas where they grow their crops?
As for the other points, the only thing I was saying is that they should have accounted for the fact that they want to develop their military and fire into Israel. The way they've rebuilt Gaza, it's almost like they WANTED to only be able to fire from civilian areas. Which, you know, couldn't possibly be the case because all they'd gain from that is tons of civilians dead and an outcry from the international community. But Hamas are not such monsters, to spill their own civilians' blood just so they get sympathy, right?
