Why do palestinian Hamas people wear masks when they protest or attack someone?

I wonder. How come when I see footage of Hamas militants or palestinians in any sort of military conflict with Israel they always cover up their faces with their scarves?





This seems to be common in other arabic countries like Iraq during the war.Why do palestinian Hamas people wear masks when they protest or attack someone?
Because they are everyday citizens fighting for a ';right.'; They simply go home to their families at the end of their day of terror and do not want to be recognized for fear of harm to their families.





How big of a coward is that?Why do palestinian Hamas people wear masks when they protest or attack someone?
I think this has something to do with it!





The Mossad (Hebrew: המוסד למודיעין ולתפקידים מיוחדים‎ - Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations) is the national intelligence agency of Israel. ';Mossad'; is the Hebrew word for institute or institution. Membership in the Mossad is prestigious in Israeli society and is considered to rank among the MOST effective intelligence agencies in the world!!!
They cover their faces to try to ensure that they cannot be photographed or filmed or generally recognised in any other way by Israeli forces.





Police forces in many countries do the same thing, e.g: the Basque country in Spain, certain types of riot police squads/snatch squads, Mexican Federales, Colombian police and so on.





One responder said they were cowards? What an ignorant, stupid answer.....the cowards are those dropping bombs on innocent Palestinians...the cowards are the Israelis.
Simple question. and the answer is complex!


a. Not to be recognized.


b. What they do is even shameful to themselves, so they change


personalities when they go ';masked';.


c. Have you ever tried yourself going to a masquerade party. The costume makes the man -- you get a different personality. Thus --the mask ';masks'; your real identity.


d.They mask themselves because some of the them ';are spies';, thus


can not be recognized.


e. The origin of the mask comes from the ancient ';torture chambers'; where the man (most of the time a male) beheading a queen or a king will not be seen by the public as to his true face...


I like your interest in the psychology side of the ';why a mask';. Hope it helps.
Because they are criminals and terrorist and should be shot on sight.


And by the way Kent the Jews have lived In Israel for 5000 years. Now tell me when the first historical reference to the Palestine's was. Try 1900. That's right they were a nomadic tribe from Jordan who were invented to destroy Jews.
some answers led me to laugh on their writers because they are really silly.





i won't say anymore word but what i want to say is. is wars everyone tries to be in the safest state, so he wear a mask to hide his id, %26amp; i agree of everything KENT K wrote.





sorry for my bad language.
Anti-Semite cowards who love to see their own dying to prove that Israel is bad (even though Hamas set it up to happen that way)
because they would be killed easily if anyone kew their real identities, Israel have many eyes inside Palestine.





who is the coward, who fights for his home or who kills babies from air ?
Just like the KKK...all cowards! Or another theory is they are wearing cosmetics. Lipstick, blush, mascara. the whole shebang! lol
They do this because though its a little known fact they are really big fans of Halloween and Skiing.
cowards
they are cowards and want to hide their ugly faces
