Dissention within Hamas & UN Compound Shelled

There appears to be dissention among the ranks within Hamas. The leaders and supporters who are in hiding and/or abroad, are encouraging the rank & file to continue fighting. Meanwhile those living within the gunsights of Israeli firepower have other ideas.

Also a UN compound was shelled "a half a dozen times" within a 2-hour period. The IDF claims its troops came under fire from the direction of the compound. The UN representatives are crying "foul!"

While tragic, the folks at the UN should actually READ the Geneva convention. Any protected site, such as schools, mosques, UN compounds, loose their protected status if used for military purposes--something Hamas, Hezbollah and the rest of their ilk do on a regular basis.Here's the dissention article:
