Title:where to place blame?

i read somewhere that gazans were warned, prior to the attacks, to evacuate any buildings in which there were hamas operatives. if this is true, why weren`t these homes and schools evacuated? it seems that hamas does use civilians as human shields and exploits them for publicity`s sake.

this is not to say that israel`s actions are corret. they are disproportionate and rejecting the temporary cease fire is irrational.

however, the other arab countries, such as egypt are to blame, as well. why does israel get criticized for closing their border when egypt did/does the same thing?

does anyone know b/c i can`t find any answers?
