Defence for Children: Israeli forces use Palestinian as human shield in Gaza - Polidicks

[quote]Israeli soldiers repeatedly used Ahmad Abu Raida, 17, as a human shield for five days while he was held hostage during Israel’s ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. Ahmad, from Khuza'a, near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, was just 16 years old when he was taken from his family on July 23. He was forced at gunpoint to search for tunnels for five days, during which time he was interrogated, verbally and physically abused, and deprived of food and sleep. Ahmad told DCI-Palestine in a sworn testimony that Israeli soldiers attempted both to extract information from him regarding Hamas members, and recruit him as an informant, before releasing him on July 27.[/quote] [img]http://www.dci-palestine.org/sites/default/files/humanshield.note_.21august2014.jpg[/img] [quote]Ahmad Abu Raida found a notepad and a pen in one of the homes he was forced to search by Israeli soldiers. Worried he'd never see his family again, he wrote the following: "I spent Friday, July 25, with Israel occupation soldiers who locked me in this room. I do not know whether I am going to live or they are going to kill me. I do not know anything about what might happen next to me. I am writing this letter hoping someone would find it and inform my family about it. In case I die or get arrested, please send my greetings to my family. Ahmad Jamal Abu Raida."[/quote] [url]http://www.dci-palestine.org/documents/israeli-forces-use-palestinian-child-human-shield-gaza[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_for_Children_International[/url] IDF forces a 9 year old boy to open suspicious bags...

That's like saying that one US soldier who shot up a whole bunch of civilians a few years back was US supported. Lamar, can you stop posting a shitload of anti-Israel bullshit to stir up shit? Individuals never represent an entire nation.

[QUOTE=Martele;45769577]oh look, another Lamar thread.[/QUOTE] He gave [B]7[/B] sources. Israel also doesn't deserve to have the bad reputation it is crafting for itself downplayed either given recent circumstances.
