Death of a Human Shield
Ha’aretz reports:
Israel Defense Forces troops killed a 12-year-old Palestinian boy and two militants in a cross-border raid into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Friday, Hamas and medical officials said. Medical officials said the boy sustained bullet wounds in the head and chest during an exchange of fire near the refugee camp of Bureij in central Gaza.
A 12-year-old boy killed in an exchange of gunfire between the IDF and palestinian terrorists..must be the IDF’s fault, right?

I think it’s pretty clear who’s responsible. It’s a shame the very media who publish pictures like the above assign the blame to Israel, and people too readily swallow it up.

thinning the herd dumb to put kids on battlefields even dumber for the liberal media not to sse why the pali animals do it.
Who believes the kids are there voluntarily? It would be more in character for Hamas to use women and children of their enemies. Hamas is evil, not stupid.

IDF: Palestinian gunmen firing out of civilian crowds
Military sources reported that in several cases during the day, Palestinian gunmen were firing at IDF soldiers out of civilian crowds.
a month of “relative calm”? What the h___ does that mean?
Mike Y: did anyone on this thread suggest that the 12 year old in question was there of his own volition? It’s the extremely cynical way Hamas or Hezbollah embed themselves among the population they claim to represent. Arguably, many support Hamas and Hez, but given the decades of rejectionism and violent “resistance” pushed by the various Palestinian factions and Hezbollah and its few allies, its the support of a thoroughly brainwashed populace.
