In Gaza, inhumanity seems to be the order of the day. We've seen multiple reports of aid convoys being attacked and of humanitarian aid being stolen by Hamas for their own purposes. And it's continuing: On Wednesday, a bus carrying aid workers in Gaza was attacked, and according to reports, "multiple" aid workers were killed

Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial US and Israeli-backed aid initiative, said on Wednesday night that a bus carrying more than two dozen of its team members was attacked by Hamas at around 10 p.m. local time, killing five and injuring others. GHF added on Thursday that three more team members had died.

CNN has reached out to the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office in Gaza for comment.

The one thing we can count on with the "Hamas-controlled Government Media Office in Gaza" is that if they reply at all, they will lie. That and attacking innocents is kind of their thing.

In reference to the same incident, Al-Khazindar Company, a Palestinian group working with GHF, said on Thursday that Hamas militants had targeted its workers, killing eight people.

“Hamas targeted them after several threats, and we never expected the situation to escalate to the point of assassinating these workers,” the company director Raafat Al-Khazindar told CNN, adding that other workers were beaten and shot.

The incident happened near the Quba Mosque in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the director added.

Note the mistaken assumption here: "We never expected the situation to escalate." If Hamas' history has taught us anything, it's that they can always be relied on to escalate, so long as they are only attacking the innocent and unarmed. 

They say so themselves:

On Sunday, Hamas media said its forces have “full authority and mandate to strike decisively against any entity or individual collaborating with the enemy’s plans or with any rogue, criminal, or traitorous elements that violate the law and the traditions of our people.”

“All agents, thieves, and armed criminal gangs are considered legitimate targets for the resistance and its security apparatus,” the militant group said.

These aid workers were not collaborating with the enemy's plans. They were not rogues, criminals, or traitorous elements. They were not violating any legitimate law, tradition, or authority. They are humanitarian aid workers.

These are the people that Western leftists claim to support, mind you:

Now, in this same piece, CNN goes on to bemoan that some "Palestinians" have been killed by Israeli fire at aid distribution sites and so forth. They apparently missed this release:

It's difficult for those of us in the West to understand an ideology that will open fire on military forces while hiding in a crowd of civilians looking only to obtain food and water. That is why, as I have been writing and saying for years, this is not a clash of civilizations, but a clash of civilization and barbarity. And if Hamas wants to continue their pious proclamations about wanting a cease-fire, they could have one right away: All they have to do is lay down their weapons, release and return all remaining hostages, and surrender.
