Israeli army uses Gaza children as human shields

Submitted by Rania Khalek on Mon, 08/11/2014
Since the assault on Gaza began, Israeli leaders and their supporters have repeatedly accused Hamas of using Palestinian civilians as human shields in an attempt to absolve Israel of responsibility for deliberately killing more than 1,600 Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Despite there being no evidence to prove this libelous claim, it has been unquestioningly echoed in major media outlets and invoked by US officials to blame Palestinians for their own slaughter. It has even been used to justify genocide against Palestinians in a newspaper ad created by anti-Palestinian extremists Shmuley Boteach and Elie Wiesel.
But the available evidence demonstrates that it is the Israeli army, not Hamas, that has been using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza.http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/rania-khalek/israeli-army-uses-gaza-children-human-shields?utm_source=EI+readers&utm_campaign=3a3eaa260f-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e802a7602d-3a3eaa260f-299176261
