The source of that article is three Palestinian teens who are obviously anti-Israel. Remember the videos of the Palestinian funerals showing dead people(supposedly killed by Israel forces) falling off stretchers, then getting up and walking again?
If Israel strikes Iran it will be surgical with minimal collateral damages or casualties...(targeting nuke facilities) not business and residential areas like the terrorist thugs Iran supports.
Germany After World War II it was claimed by German SS general, Generalleutnant Gottlob Berger that there was a plan, proposed by the Luftwaffe and approved by Adolf Hitler, to set up special POW camps for captured airmen of the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force in large German cities, to act as human shields against their bombing raids. Berger realised that this would contravene the Geneva Convention and argued that there was not enough barbed wire - as a result this plan was not implemented.[1][2] However, the practice was widespread in the war on the Eastern front, where the Wehrmacht used civilians ahead of their troops in an effort to deter Soviet attacks.
Israel Human Rights Watch claims that the Israel Defense Forces used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin.[3] The Israeli human-rights group B'Tselem reported that "for a long period of time following the outbreak of the second intifada, particularly during Operation Defensive Shield, in April 2002, the IDF systematically used Palestinian civilians as human shields, forcing them to carry out military actions which threatened their lives".[4] The practice was outlawed by the Supreme Court of Israel in 2005 but human rights groups claim the IDF continues to use it. [4][5] During the 2008-2009 Gaza invasion known as Operation Cast Lead, Israeli military forces continued using civilians as human shields. According to testimonies, Israeli forces used unarmed Palestinians including children to protect military positions, walk in front of armed soldiers; go into buildings to check for booby traps or gunmen; and inspect suspicious objects for explosives. [6] Amnesty International[7] and Human Rights Watch[3] assert the Israel Defense Forces used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin. The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem reported that "for a long period of time following the outbreak of the second intifada, particularly during Operation Defensive Shield, in April 2002, the IDF systematically used Palestinian civilians as human shields, forcing them to carry out military actions which threatened their lives".[4][8] The practice was outlawed by the Supreme Court of Israel in 2005 but human rights groups insist the IDF continues to use it, although they acknowledge the number of instances has dropped sharply.[4][5] In February 2007, Associated Press Television News released footage of an incident involving Sameh Amira, a 24-year-old Palestinian. The video appears to show the West Bank resident serving as a human shield for a group of Israeli soldiers.[5][9] The video can be seen on the AP website. The Israeli Army launched a criminal investigation into the incident.[5] In April 2007, the Israeli army suspended a commander after the unit he was leading was accused of using Palestinians as human shields in a West Bank raid.[10] The Guardian has compiled 3 videos[11] and testimony from civilians of alleged war crimes committed by Israeli soldiers, including the use of Palestinian children as human shields, the targeting of medics and hospitals, and drone aircraft firing on civilians deliberately. [12] Three teenage brothers from the al-Attar family have described how "they were taken from their home at gunpoint, made to kneel in front of tanks to deter Hamas fighters from firing at them and sent by Israeli soldiers into Palestinian houses to clear them". An Israeli military official responded to these allegations: "The IDF operated in accordance with the rules of war and did the utmost to minimise harm to civilians uninvolved in combat. The IDF's use of weapons conforms to international law." An Israeli embassy spokesperson considers these allegations suspect because of Hamas pressure, adding: "Anyone who understands the realities of Gaza will know that these people are not free to speak the truth. Those that wish to speak out cannot for fear of beatings, torture or execution at the hands of Hamas."[12] However, in a report on the Gaza conflict,[13] released July 2, 2009, Amnesty International concluded that Israel did use human shields in Gaza. Amnesty found cases in which "Israeli troops forced Palestinians to stay in one room of their home while turning the rest of the house into a base and sniper position, effectively using the families, both adults and children, as human shields and putting them at risk. The report also criticized Hamas for human rights violations, but "found no evidence Palestinian fighters directed civilians to shield military objectives from attacks, forced them to stay in buildings used by militants, or prevented them from leaving

Who's to say Israel won't attack the US. A secret trip to Russia? Cause last I checked, Russia isn't interested in bombing Iran. Something strange is going on.
Secret weapon?

My quick two cents. We as a society are informed of "secret" projects and related events only when TPTB release it. We won't know what was on that ship or who took it unless they want us to know.

Four pages spent on what? The World Net Daily? If there's one source that should be taken with a grain of salt, it is WND. Are there any other sources available?
I know this is a WND article so please spare me the flame, but it is too interesting to ignore.
