Why the sudden interest in Palestinians being used as human shields? Beastly Boy Apr 27 #1

The difference is that this is two rogue soldiers, not a military strategy implemented by a government. lapucelle Apr 28 #15

Indeed there is a difference: Here, two individual soldiers appear to be committing a war crime, not "Israel". lapucelle Apr 28 #14
