    Yes, Israel recognizes that it violates the standards of humanity, yet it continues to do just that while giving a finger to the rest of the world...

    The children in these countries, including Africa for groomed to be killers. They have machine guns, lead other children in battle.

    Are these kids fair game?

    If this kid shoots at me, I'm pretty sure I'd shoot back

    The Palestinians, like all Muslim terrorists, do not even make an effort to be decent. I have zero sympathy for them.

    Most terrorists don't make an effort to be decent. I am pretty sure that goes out the wall in "terrorist training"... :rolleyes:

    Now if you think that the Palestinians as a group are all terrorists, then you sir have your head stuck up your ass.

    Hmm, seems like ATW hasn't taught you well. Poor job ATW, I expected you to be grooming better than that around here.

    I believe what he meant is "The Palestinian (terrorists), like all Muslim terrorists...". Obviously it would be up to him to clarify.

    Wait, so now you can interpret it in different ways and "twist" words to change the meaning... :rolleyes:

    Hypocrite.

    Do you think Palestinians should be killed?

    Obviously not, what a question. Unless it is a situation in which immediate self-defense is necessary, of course.

    You don't see the difference between shooting a kid that's pointing a gun at you and using an innocent child as a human shield (which you justify by saying that he's probably being "groomed to be a killer")?

    As an aside this is not the first time the IDF uses kids and civilains as shields. From an Israelis human rights group, those those groups are being repressed more now a days.

    I emember the Jenin massacre from post back then.

    14 May 03: "Human Shields" in Jenin

    In Jenin today: During the operation to arrest Khalil Musbah, Border Police Officers used a Palestinian family as human shields.

    "The Soldier Told Me to Kneel, Knelt Behind Me, and Fired Over my Head"


    During a Border Police operation in Jenin today, Border Police Officers shot and hit a car with five passengers, including a woman, her daughter and seventeen-month-old grandson. They then forced the driver to park the car in front of Khalil Musbah's home and used it as a shield during a gun battle with armed Palestinians. The two women and baby were inside the car. In the course of the battle, a Border Police officer who was standing behind Muhamad 'Aradeh (one of the passengers) fired over his head, using him as a human shield. B'Tselem is also investigating preliminary details regarding the use of Khalil Musbah's relatives as human shields.

    In the interest of being fair and balanced, which I am sure you care about glynch - what about the use of "human shields" on the other side?

    All sides use them. Did the Germans use them at Stalingrad or as they put down the Jews during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising? the Russians in the fall of the Berlin? I suspect so.

    As a practical matter when the battle is almost exclusively in 100% Palestinian neighborhoods, with no Israelis around and often the Palesinians are lightly armed in their households fighting a professional army without children they have limited access to Israeli civilians. I suppose you would argue that by not being out in the open street fighting tanks and airplanes the Palestinians with a rifle or two they are using civilians as shields.

    I mean Palestinians (Hamas) using Palestinian women and children as human shields.

    And I am not talking of more or less isolated incidents like the one here with two Israeli soldiers (who were probably ****-scared themselves to be blown up by a Palestinian Hamas bomb, but that still does not justify to abuse the child like that) who later got prosecuted for it, but I am talking about systematic use of civilians as "human shields".

    By the way, this guy sounds like a real charmer.

    Oh I get it. When the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto were fighting in their houses, tunnels and sewers with their children against the Germans they were using human shields. Shame on them.
