those kids are killers? and even of they were isn't that still ILLEGAL?? i thought the Israelis represented "moral ethics" especially when it comes to their military.

Answer 1

Probally for the same reason Hamas and Hezbollah use innocent children to hide behind when they fire rockets from school yards into Israel.

Answer 2

I have no idea and I don't think there is a rational reason for this and definitely there is absolutely no excuse for that...Using human shield is against international law and since 2005 against Israeli law...It's not the first time the IDF uses children as human shields...and this is not acceptable under any circumstances...

In 2005 Israel's Supreme court has banned the use of human shields by the IDF:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4314898.stm
This doesn't seem to stop the IDF from continuing this practice...and unfortunately still there are no measures taken against this...

Answer 3

Because the Israelis soldiers are afraid of any potential resistence while searching houses. These soldiers do not take any risks so they use Palestinian kids as human shields. They get their power from those kids.

Answer 4

During the Iran/Iraq war the Iranis were taking children from religious schools and chaining them together. Then they would walk them across open ground ahead of the tanks to trigger the landmines.

Khomenei responded to questions with, "We have many children, but few tanks."

I doubt that the Israeli Army uses children as shields when searching a house. They might arrest children in the house who were throwing rocks and worse at them.

Please do not forget that many Palestinian children are rewarded with candy for throwing rocks at Jews. There are few innocents, and none left unscarred.

Why do we expect the Israelis to let enemies who have sworn to destroy them act on their threats without attempting to defend themselves? Why should they listen to us gentiles when we sat back in 1967 and let the Arabs through the UN lines to attack them?

Answer 5

Israel is a lawless state there is no constitution in Israel the IDF crimes are everywhere.

Answer 6

because they're spineless.... people talk about the pali's being terrorist when actually the Zionist are the real terrorist. Israel keeps stealing more and more land, bulldozing 43,000 more homes in gaza and commiting genocide...... think about it, what would you do if mexico or canada decided they wanted more land and began bulldozing homes here in america..... you would fight and so would I so please people get your facts straight

Answer 7

because the IDF ignores an israeli human rights group(B'Tselem) and israeli courts.

Answer 8

I haven't examined the details, but I say: NO EXCUSE!!!!!

But there is also no excuse for the Lebanese military to build military equipment into civilians' houses (they put them in sealed rooms), to later attack Israel, so that they could make Israel look bad when they returned fire in self-defense. This does not mean Israel is justified in doing it, any more than the Arabs are.

Answer 9

you've got that backwards. why do the palestinian terrorists use innocent children as shields while they shoot at Israeli's? why do the terrorists hide under burkas and pretend they're women? why did they (not long ago) put out a call for women to come to a mosque that terrorists were hiding in, so the Israeli army wouldn't fire on them because the women got between them and their targets? why do the terrorists not care if the innocent women and kids get killed?

Got caught on camera this time....priceless.
