Re: “Hamas kills 18 suspected spies for Israel,” Aug. 23 news story.
When Hamas murders 18 people, mowing some of them down outside a mosque in front of hundreds of people with no trial, it demonstrates the callousness of this organization toward its own citizens.
Itap likely that Hamas will add these 18 men to the list of “civilian casualties” and continue to distort their casualty figures. Worse yet, many media outlets will accept the Hamas version and publish it.
How long will the media continue to ignore the criminal acts of Hamas?
