What if it Were Your Child?

http://uruknet.com/?p=m66623&hd=&size=1&l=e

...even if a 12-year old had thrown stones at an Israeli army jeep, which is fully armored and bullet-proofed, how could this possibly constitute a threat to the soldiers’ lives? And even if that child had thrown stones at an occupation soldier (a right he is entitled to by the way), torturing him and abusing him sexually cannot be justified even by the staunchest of Israel supporters.

Using Human Shields Equates Morality In Israel



http://politicaltheatrics.org/2009/10/10/using-human-shields-equates-morality-in-israel/

I don't really like this picture as it gives only a snapshot of an obviously more complex situation. It could be interpreted as the soldier protecting the civilian, which may indeed be true as I don't know if this image was taken during Cast Lead or not and the civilian is not between the soldier and what he's shooting at, but the soldier is actually shielding the civilian between himself and a brick wall.
I do know that Human Rights Watch claims that the IDF (i.e Israeli Defense Forces) used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin. So is one side doing it and the other not? or vice versa? Only more research can tell from a distance. In the meantime, Palestinians are being killed at a rate that far outstrips the rate of Israelis even being injured. Children starved, allowed to sicken and die. If this is not apartheid, then please tell me what it is... and make your case.

Israeli settlers gun down Palestinian youth

http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=91704&sectionid=351020202

"one of the settlers "had a stoppage in his gun," and thus was unable to shoot the Palestinian, so "the other man neutralized the terrorist and killed him." 

The terrorist, with a knife, who was accosted by two men with guns. Damn those Palestinians, how dare they try to protect themselves... why don't they just roll over and die like good animals?

ISRAELI SOLDIERS: “WE CAME, WE SAW, WE KILLED”

http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/israeli-soldiers-we-came-we-saw-we-killed/

Some people I've talked to actually support Israel in what it does, quoting a 5,000 year old Jewish book that says, "He who curseth Israel shall be cursed" - so anything Israel does is OK, killing children, pregnant women, innocent men, keeping people from medical care unto death, using banned weapons, the list goes on. These things are OK with these so-called Christians. No accountability, no "love thy enemy", etc.
