Hamas Kills Innocent Palestinians (Rare Video)

First part of video shows Hamas killing wedding party because they were singing.

Update by Howie: And right on time to go along with this is news that Hamas has been murdering any Palestinian opposition to Hamas during the fighting. Fatah members mostly.
