is that they use their children, they use their civilians, they don t give any thought about them. i mean the hamas leaders are divided into two. those who are in underground bunkers in gaza, they don t care, let the people there, you know, with the rocketeeres and the attack tunnels, let them die as israel tries to surgically take them out but they re safe underground, the military leaders, and then they ve got the political leader, this guy khalid marshall, roaming around five-star hotel suites in the gulf states, having a good time while he s deliberately putting his people as fodder for this horrible terrorist war that they re conducting against us. so this has to stop, and i think many people in gaza understand that hamas is describing gaza, destroying their lives. they ve taken tons, not tons, tens of thousands of tons of concrete that we enabled them to bring into gaza to build skyscrapers, to build schools, to build hospitals.
us. the hamas deliberately targets civilians and deliberately hides behind civilians. they embed their rocketeers, their rocket caches, their other weaponry from which they fire, which they use to fire on us in civilian areas. what choice do we have? we have to protect ourselves, so we try to target the rocketeeres, we do and all civilian casualties are unsbunded by us but intended by hamas. they want to pile up as many civilian dead as they can, because somebody said they use it s gruesome. they use telegenically dead palestinians for their cause. they want the more dead the bet are. the argument your critics make is that you re overreacting, overkill. look, i want to say this. i mean, there are very few examples in history of countries that have been rocketed on this scale. if you look at our response, it s actually very measured and trying to be as pinpointed as we can, but i think when people say
sirens went off and reporting an incoming barrage. and they can intercept missiles hitting population centers and that s starting to change the balance of power a little bit. lately the israelis have been more robust and killed a few would be rocketeeres. the latest round of strikes started on thursday when israelis blew up the car of a senior gaza militant they say it was planning an attack. it was seen as intelligence coup for the israelis and expected there would be retaliation at some time. the gaza strip is won by hamas, but a number of other militant groups operate there and makes difficult to get a clear picture who is actually firing the rockets and who wants to call it a day. history tells us the point we re at now, four days in, decision point, where everybody goes home, or there s a major explanation,
