Dear Editor,
In "Israel Hits U.N.-Run School in Gaza" [January 7, 2009], the article correctly states that Hamas is “an enemy that does not wear uniforms or operate from bases but instead mingles with the population.” So why doesn’t the UN protest this obvious war crime? Or is it only a war crime when Israel responds? In this war, unfortunately, it is the bystanders behind whom Hamas fires mortars, rockets, and missiles that become unwilling accomplices, as a shield against Israeli retaliation - and then become victims when Israel fights back. It is not Israel’s fault; it is solely the fault of Hamas. How did Hamas get into power? They were voted in by those same bystanders. Ironic! I guess that’s how the elected thank their constituents in that part of the world.
