Israel's Human Shields

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Not the holier-than-thou Israelis!!

Of course, its in a world brief!


"Army commander is reprimanded"

JERUSALEM - The commander of Israeli forces in the West Bank was reprimanded yesterday following an investigation into allegations that troops used a Palestinian man as a human shield during an operation held in the West Bank city of Nablus. The army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, reprimanded Brigadier General Yair Golan and held up his advancement, the military spokesman's office said in a statement. The practice of using Palestinian civilians to shield Israeli soldiers in confrontations with militants was outlawed in 2005 (AP October 19, 2007)."

[So the shit-don't-stink Israelis USE HUMAN SHEILDS, huh?

Notice how they didn't mention how?

If memory serves, the KID was tied to the grill of a jeep!]


"Israel: Rebuke Over ‘Human Shield’ " by STEVEN ERLANGER

The former Israeli commander of the West Bank, Brig. Gen. Yair Golan, was reprimanded after an investigation of a “human shield” episode in Nablus, in the West Bank, in March, the army said. The investigation followed the release of a tape of the incident filmed by Associated Press Television, showing a young man forced at gunpoint to lead soldiers from house to house.

[O.K.! So the event I remember was a DIFFERENT CASE!]


The army chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, also ruled that General Golan, would be passed over for promotion for the next nine months.

[That's the penalty for a fucking WAR CRIME? Passed over for a promo?]


The use of Palestinian civilians to shield Israeli soldiers was outlawed by the Israeli Supreme Court in 2005."

[Of course, the Times has to balance the report with some Palestinian "in-fighting."

Those Fatah agents USrael hired out are doing a good job, aren't they, reader?]


"Gaza: 4 Die in Palestinian Infighting" by ISABEL KERSHNER

A Hamas policeman and three members of a Fatah-affiliated clan were killed in an armed clash in Gaza City, according to medical officials and the independent Palestinian Center for Human Rights. Thirty people were wounded, with another policeman in critical condition, said a spokesman for the Hamas-run Interior Ministry. The clash erupted when the police came to a house of the Hillis clan looking for members who had opened fire on traffic officers on Tuesday, wounding three bystanders. The traffic police had stopped their car and asked to see their papers. Hamas has tried to end internal violence and impose order since it seized control of Gaza in June, routing Fatah forces there."

And Israel just keep
fucking that up, huh?
