    There’s been video of this on the internet for a couple weeks now. Any of the vehemently pro-Israel lot want to explain how this isn’t a war crime?

    And I would like to note that claiming that the other side may have done the same thing does not al give you the right to do this. Also, he’s been released by the Israelis, which mean that they see him as a civilian, which definitely makes this a war crime.

    No one cares because it exposes a weird instance where a human shield was used during a war against kids throwing stones, not to block bullets against enemy combatants.

      No one cares because paid pro Israel media don’t cry about it, if it is china or Russia who do that will never hear the end of it.

      No one cares because paid politician don’t want their cash flow from Israel to stop and their tax heaven to disappear.

      No one cares because paid politician don’t want their cash flow from defense contractors loppyist to stop.

      No one cares because the governments leader are colonizers and believe in white supremacy and doesn’t care about a Palestinians kid somewhere.

      No one cares because Evangelical, and Zainoist make sure to label you anti-Semitic and push you out of your job and slander you as much as you can if you speak up.

      Since the beginning of the occupation in 1967, Israeli security forces have repeatedly used Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip as human shields, ordering them to perform military tasks that risked their lives. As part of this policy, soldiers have ordered Palestinian civilians to remove suspicious objects from roads, to tell people to come out of their homes so the military can arrest them, to stand in front of soldiers while the latter shoot from behind them, and more. The Palestinian civilians were chosen at random for these tasks, and could not refuse the demand placed on them by armed soldiers.

      Yes, the IDF use of human shields includes “to block bullets against enemy combatants”
