PARA LOS QUE todavía dudéis de que las mujeres y niños palestinos muertos por bombas israelíes en Gaza han muerto, en realidad, por haber sido puestos como escudos humanos. Igual que en la Marcha Verde.

ACTUALIZACIÓN. Más:
In a recent incident related to me by the former head of the Israeli air force, Israeli intelligence learned that a family's house in Gaza was being used to manufacture rockets. The Israeli military gave the residents 30 minutes to leave. Instead, the owner called Hamas, which sent mothers carrying babies to the house.

Hamas knew that Israel would never fire at a home with civilians in it. They also knew that if Israeli authorities did not learn there were civilians in the house and fired on it, Hamas would win a public relations victory by displaying the dead. Israel held its fire. The Hamas rockets that were protected by the human shields were then used against Israeli civilians.
