Comments on: Human Shields Halt Israeli Airstrikes

Palestinian Protestors Force Israel To Call Off Attacks In Gaza After Surrounding Targeted Homes of Militants

The Israelis opened fire on a group of unarmed women, just last week, killing 2 of them.

I wonder why they are only now reviewing their policies on killing civilians?

Winstrv,

What rewards do the Israeli "butchers of women and children need to be sent"?

In Lebanon, most of those recently killed by the Israelis were innocent civilians. More than a thousand out of the some 1300 Lebanese deaths.

In contrast, 2/3 of the deaths inflicted by Hezbullah fighters were Israeli military members. As such, Hezbullah demonstrated a far better record of minimizing civilian deaths during this recent conflict. Shouldn't the Israelis be expected to at least match the performance of those whom they have declared to be "terrorists"?

It is one thing to bravely and peacefully act as a "shield" for people who care about, against a brutal military colossus like the Israeli military.

It is quite another for those who force innocent people to stand between them selves and harm's way, so that they can hide behind them.

The second is clearly a cowardly terrorist tactic, and the Israelis have a chronic history of employing this technique.

Even from the time that the Israeli Supreme Court placed a moratorium on this practice, in 2002, to the time that this despicable tactic was finally banned by the Israeli Supreme Court, in October of 2005, the Israelis used "human shields" on numerous occasions. There are more recent reports of continued offenses.

Blaming the use of "human shields" by the Israelis is in no way an acceptable excuse for their miserable civilian-killing record. The overwhelming majority of their victims have been civilians.

Not only that, but since the Israelis have routinely embraced the use of "human shields" to hide behind, as proven beyond any reasonable doubt before their own highest Court, they have surrendered any standing to criticize anyone else on this issue.

Patriotic9, continually the Jews have tried their best to only take out the terrorists and try to not kill the civilians. It appears now that probably these Muslims have been told that Israel doesn't like killing innocent people and if these Muslims are killed by protecting the terrorists they become martyrs so insuring a place in paradise...
Do people realise that killing themselves for Allah (becoming martyrs) is the only way that these poor Muslims know that they are going to definitely make it to paradise, Allah said so...
The others never, never know if they will definitely make it, even Mohammad said that, and of course allah said that hell is full of Muslim women, so why on earth do their women follow Islam, they get hell on earth and are not respected by their sons and husbands while on earth and then they go to hell, but if they become martyrs ???... so why not kick up the traces here on earth eh..

What a load of ***. What arrogance!!!!!!!! God is God He is who He is, who are we to judge Him and call Him a racist.
I'm not Jewish and I don't always believe that they're right. But I say to you before you post a comment like that read the bible or the Koran or the Torah. You seem to be criticizing a God you don't even know and blaming the conditions of the world on Him.
You know the condition of the world is messed up but if you have read the bible or the Koran or the Torah you'll know that there's also hope.
Man in the words of TD Jakes I'd rather live my life like there is a God, die and found out that there wasn't than to live my life like there is no God die and found out that there is..........

Romans took Carthage, the United States armies seized American Indian lands. Throughout history, there are certain groups of ****-sapiens bound together by religion, culture or ancestry that will inevitably have conflicts and will overcome adversarial groups, it is human nature. Whatever moral implications arise, these conflicts will happen regardless of an inept United Nations. No amount of peace talks are going to rectify this one, this one is "going the distance".

patriotic9, if you gave of your children a car because he had been a good son/daughter and continually been there for you, and you didnt give a car to the other son/daughter because he was not responsible enough and had always been bad and killed people is that also discrimination.
Well this is how the Jews came about...

Send them all to Paradise and hope there are enough virgins to go around.

You are absolutely right.This is called HALLUCINATION.By the way,nobody has ever helped these RADICAL MULSIMS like Bush and his NEO-CONS.Secualr Saddam who was best with the IRAQI CATHOLICS called CALDIANS because in a MUSLIM COUNTRY,nobody would like to see a CATHOLIC being president.Bush has removed SADDAM from power and brought a RADICAL ISLAMIST named MALIKI who is taking money from the AMERICAN TAX PAYERS to build a RADICAL ISLAMIC COUNTRY on the name of REBUILDING IRAQ.Now if we leave Iraq,IRAQ is next to IRAN,SYRIA is next to IRAQ and LEBANON is next to SYRIA.All those countries ruled under those AYATOLLAHs who call us GREATEST SATAN.

Bush should be locked up in a padded cell
