(Commentary) Evelyn Gordon - A March report by Amnesty International on Hamas rocket fire during last summer's war in Gaza notes that Hamas rockets killed more civilians in Gaza than they did in Israel. Altogether, Amnesty said, the rockets killed six Israeli civilians and "at least" 13 Palestinian civilians. That figure came from a single misfired rocket that killed 13 civilians in the Al-Shati refugee camp. In other words, Amnesty didn't bother checking to see whether other Hamas rockets also killed civilians; it simply cited the one case it couldn't possibly ignore. But according to Israel Defense Forces figures, 550 rockets and mortars fired at Israel fell short and landed in Gaza, including 119 that hit urban areas. It defies belief to think those other 549 rockets and mortars produced no casualties. Since Gaza has no warning sirens or bomb shelters, those misfired rockets almost certainly killed dozens, and quite possibly hundreds, of civilians. 2015-05-29 00:00:00Full Article
