Gazans have shown their proficiency in tunneling
Reader comment on item: Reflections on Current Hamas-Israel Hostilities
in response to reader comment: Major Question to ask: Why are there no bomb shelters in GAZA??
Submitted by Isahiah62 (United States), Nov 23, 2012 at 15:54
Reply to Mr Pipes and Sara
I have asked this same question of all proFakestinains in every war - on every youtube that condemns Israel- Gazans can dig tunnels big enough to smuggle in tractors and yet not a single bomb shelter for their own children - I also ask them if the JEWS would only lay down in the street and get killed by the rockets- would that make it proportionate?
