article for everyone to read.

I pointed out a telling bit of information that I thought deserved attention - that Hamas is stopping Palestinians from getting medical help that is being provided by Israeli field hospitals. It seems a contemptible thing to do, but consistent with a group who is using the human shield tactic to advance their own agenda.

The entire article goes into the problem Israelis have, who want to provide help to Palestinians but know if the contributions can be seen by Hamas as coming from Israelis, that Hamas would not let the contributions get to the Palestinians it is intended for. this is entirely consistent with Hamas actions to prevent Palestinians from getting the medical help provided by Israeli field hospitals. There is nothing misleading in my headline. ... though I guess you hope by claiming it was, it would magically make your attempted deception true.

try to make your arguments without attempting to personally denigrate those who disagree with you. You only denigrate yourself in the process.. If you have sound arguments you wouldn't need to resort to patently dishonest tactics to make your case.
