You’ve heard the accusations. Hamas cruelly uses its own people as human shields, leaving their civilians to face the consequences of a massacre while hiding away in their tunnels underground.

Hamas commandeers civilian structures like hospitals, mosques and playgrounds as their own, turning these supposed safe areas into deathtraps for their people. Hamas fire rockets from family homes and use children’s bedrooms as weapons caches, thus turning their little ones into bait.

Yes, you’ve heard these claims. But surely nobody can be that cruel, that callous, that evil?
