The following portions of an article on Hamas gunmen using human shields has left me with no choice but to publicy denounce the Palestinian PM as a terrorist asshole who needs death.

BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip - Palestinian gunmen holed up in a mosque escaped Friday as Israeli forces fired at a group of women who streamed to the scene to serve as human shields, killing two and wounding at least 10, the army and witnesses said. At least two of the escaping gunmen were disguised as veiled women.
Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas "saluted the women of Palestine ... who led the protest to break the siege of Beit Hanoun." Haniyeh urged U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to witness firsthand "the massacres of the Palestinian people," and appealed to the Arab world to "stop the ongoing bloodshed.
A spokesman for Hamas militants said 32 gunmen who had taken cover in the mosque escaped with the help of the women. The spokesman, Abu Obeida, denied reports that the men disguised themselves as women to escape, but one woman said she handed women's clothing to some of the gunmen.
