U.S.: We Would Love to See Hamas Stop Using Civilians as Human Shields

(State Department) State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller said Monday: "We don't want to see civilians caught in the crossfire. We would love to see Hamas vacate the hospitals that it's using as command posts immediately. We would love to see all the people that are calling for Israel to take steps to protect hospitals call for Hamas to vacate the hospitals and stop using civilians as human shields. We would love to see Hamas take some of the fuel reserves it's sitting on and use that to supply hospitals in northern Gaza. We would love to see Hamas have taken the fuel that Israel offered it yesterday - that they declined - for use at al-Shifa Hospital." "We would love to see Hamas stop using civilians as human shields, which they very cynically do. They're the ones that continue to put civilians in harm's way. They obviously have shown no sign of changing that longstanding, abhorrent practice of theirs."
