Hamas’ philosophy: All civilians, all children are tools of war

Much of the world continues to condemn Israel for waging its war against Hamas.

As the casualty figures on both sides grow, Israel is facing the usual calls for a ceasefire.

A call which this country has rightly not joined in.

But as well as the Hamas supporters and antisemites who hurl accusations against Israel whatever it does, there are also well-meaning people who genuinely do not seem to understand the war that Israel is fighting.

Every time a home is destroyed in Gaza, or a civilian building is targeted much of the world seems bewildered and outraged.

In the process the worst libels against the Jewish state get repeated.
