Israeli using Palestinian Kids as Human Shields

It seems that no one can point out Israeli malefactions without immediate response which attacks the
Palestinians & defends Israelis. The OP video & the issue it presents should not be smothered in red herrings.

Yes, when Israel does such a thing it is reprehensible. No, it is not the same thing.

Furthermore, there was nothing in my responses that "attacks the Palestinians". The only red herring here is yours.

What? Me worry?
Does this video truly show anyone being used as a shield? Is anyone in the story in danger? Are the Israeli troops huddled behind the boy, using his lifeless body to protect themselves from enemy bullets? Are there any more conclusive videos where troops of any ilk are using civilians as shields? It appears that the kid in the video is more in custody than peril. It's often said that the "first casualty of war is truth". This is usually true for all sides.

I'm sorry that you cannot distinguish between Hamas and the Palestinians. You do the latter a disservice. It's thoughtless.

You feign sorrow, but finish with an insult.
Such personal harshness for a difference of opinion.
Does religious fervor do this to people?

considering that this video is from 2007, do you, by chance, have anything more recent?

You'd do well to review the rules about personal attacks.
Your post flies in the face of our goal of civil discourse, even when disagreeing.

... who directs his response against the person (ad hominem) rather than the argument. Do you have no comment about you thoughtlessly equating Hamas with the Palestinians?

Any recent news feed from Syria, Egypt, or Iran will do. There are much more pressing human right violations in these nations (and many others) happening every single day now, then a video about the IDF 5 years ago which falls in the grey area at best.

I think Hamas represents Palestinians.

... any condemnation of Bush during his presidency could reasonably be labelled an attack on Americans. Just brilliant. :rolleyes:

Yes, but it's now trendy to demonize any and all actions of the evil nation of Israel. And we know how many people are slaves to fashion.

Unfortunately you are right. It's bizarre to post videos about incidents 5 years ago, which are reported by Israeli organizations and often involve punishments and outlawing by the Israeli high court then to actually post about what Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians, or Iranians are doing to each other right now.
Every day I try to digest that over 70,000 people have been killed across the border in the last 2 years, have been bombarded by their own government's war planes and ballistic missiles and have been shot and forgotten in trenches.
The way I see it, the Muslim world around us has been busy during the last 1400 years in its own World War. But Israel will always serve as a psychological relief from that bitter reality.
