Hamas, by contrast, has shown no interest in avoiding civilian casualties, either in Israel or in Gaza. The whole point of firing rockets at Israeli cities is to inflict civilian casualties, and the fact that the rockets have largely failed to do so is due to their inaccuracy, Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile-defense system, and perhaps some good luck.
相反，哈马斯并未表现出任何避免平民伤亡的意思，不管在以色列还是在加沙。向以色列发射火箭弹的全部意图就是造成平民伤亡，而之所以未能成功，原因在于武器本身精确度不够、以色列的“铁穹”导弹防御系统，或许还有以色列的好运气。哈马斯从居民区发傻火箭弹，并把火箭弹藏在学校，这明显的反映了其领导人准备让巴勒斯坦平民当肉盾，让以色列面临残酷的选择&mdash;&mdash;要么杀戮平民，要么允许火箭弹袭击继续。
