Some of you may remember that back in 2005, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the IDF's use of children as human shields when conducting house to house operations was actually not such a good idea. The IDF, though, continues to disagree.
Al-Jazeera reports that during the Israeli siege of Nablus:
At one point, a small group of nervous soldiers forced a Palestinian youth to lead them into a home. The soldiers then took him, along with several young Palestinian men, into a military vehicle.
[...]
The army had no immediate comment on Sunday's incident.
Again, Israel is using children as human shields in conducting their military operations. They are doing so not only in violation of international law, but in violation of their own Supreme Court as well. And for some reason no mainstream media in the US think this is newsworthy. Pain.

If only we could somehow get Anna Nicole and Britneys' kids to Palestine...
haha. remind me again why you're both so far away? on a positive note: last i checked the israeli bagtz was busy flying in lawyers who have been working with the pentagon in an attempt to establish the "enemy combtant" category in israeli domestic jurisprudence (and of note, of those lawyers is professor yoo from uc-berkeley's own boalt law school! sweeet!)... so anyway soon the idf and the bagtz should be seeing eye-to-eye
