For an organization devoted to the slaughter of Israelis and destruction of the Jewish state, Hamas seems pathetically weak when it tries to invoke the “sympathy card”.

Which more than a few western editors assist them with.

(as for “fauxtography”, the propaganda machine loves to make those “woe is us” videos where the corpse gets off the bier and walks away after the camera shoot)

I have sympathy for Gazans who have to live under Hamas, which spends the territory’s limited resources on weaponry and brags as to how their newly import rockets and missiles can reach even farther into Israeli territory.

I have a lot of sympathy for individuals reduced to breaking down a barrier with Egypt to buy household supplies.
