"The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has accused the Israeli army of using two Palestinian minors as human shields during their operations against militants in the town of Nablus in late February. The group reports on its website that an 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, as well as a 24-year-old man were used by the troops in "a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and [an act that is] is explicitly and clearly prohibited by Israeli military orders."

"The soldiers were convicted of inappropriate behavior and overstepping authority for ordering an 11-year-old boy to search bags suspected to have been booby trapped, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported. "
this story is suspect in my opinion if they cant get the age right what else did they get wrong,
im not excusing their behavior but something smells foul

I saw an article detailing that Israeli soilders felt guilty for their actions in Gaza, but they had orders. I am sure you can understand that.
Wermacht soilders had orders back in WWII. They did what they were told, but don't think that there weren't those who hated what they were doing just because you don't hear their stories.

S&F, though not because I'm happy with the news. I often hear Israel apologists claim the same with Hamas, though they fail to produce any kind of proof for such a claim. It's usually just a propaganda tactic to demonize Hamas,
With that being said, I have heard of IDF soldiers using Palestinian children as shields on several different occasions. Now, with this story, I can cite it when I hear people claiming that it is Hamas, who uses the children as shields.
though I have no doubt that IDF sodliers use children as shields, as there is nothing to make me think otherwise.
Many Zionists don't even see the Palestinians as human beings or equal in god's eyes. They often see these people as worse than animals and treat them as such. With that attitude, why wouldn't they use the children as shields, then claim that the Palestinians shot their own children if something happens to them?
However, I don't think that most Palestinians or even Hamas would fire if the children were being used as shields, which is probably why they are used as shields in the first place. Unlike other extremist groups who have some special interest that doesn't involve the betterment of the public and so will see the public as expendable to their political goals, Hamas is an "extremist" group who was founded and is chartered for the sole purpose of ending the oppression against their people. They aren't chartered on religion, resources or land, rather to put an end to the sufferage of their people by an oppressive external threat.
Whatever the case, it is so horrible that children are being used as shields, regardless of who is doing it and just the mere notion of it, makes me sick to my stomach.
