1. Do not fight with one hand chained behind your back.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.11.08)
The failure of Israel and the United States, as well as Europe, to see that the world is in a state of war is characterised by the seasonal birth of "peace initiatives." That Israel has convinced itself that "peace is an option," even "the only option," in spite of the fact that its enemies are actively engaged in preparing its destruction, is one of the astonishing phenomena of our times. The Arabs read the signs coming from Israel correctly, and act accordingly. On the one hand, they are arming themselves to the teeth and preparing for war and, on the other hand, they talk "peace" and occasionally release "peace plans," which aim at turning Israel into an indefensible narrow strip of land that can be conquered in a single attack. We should have the courage to face reality. We should go to war and fight with one single goal – a total victory on the terrorists. We will have to fight in order to rebuild our deterrence. We will have to fight for our survival. The medias should be kept away from the battlefield until the army has finished its job. The civilians collaborating with the terrorists, the “human shields”, should be treated as soldiers without uniforms. The war should be short and cruel to the enemy. Victory is at that price as explained at : http://xrl.us/biz8x
2. Those animals
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.11.08)
Once again, arabs using little boys as human shields to protect their terrorists. But the family will be happy - the Saudis will surely forward a generous check
3. Even we don't believe in "Palestinian sources"

4. Who knows who did it? Who cares? The Pals dont.

they willingly place their children in harms way as a matter of course. The child who was killed last week that automatically was blamed on Israel was killed by one of the Pals own mortar rounds.
5. I wonder if the same number of daily casulties is among
Observer   (04.11.08)
Israelis, what would happen to the world? No one give respect to human life anymore, and the occupier agressor is a free handed monster.
6. Translation: Boy used by Hamas dies in Terrorist Fighting
B ,   Us   (04.11.08)
Arab World has inhuman practice of using children in crime and terrorist fighting and warfare. The abuse of children and women as weapons of terror and shields for terror is major propaganda ploy. Condemn the abusers, criminals and terrorists.
7. IDF fire reaches everybody
Arabic Observer   (04.11.08)
There is no need to prove nor disprove this, IDF uses artillery and the firefight usually happens in residential areas because this how guerilla warfare works and even if there is no clashes, IAF will pound targets and everybody knows Gaza is populated area, you hit someone, you kill many, so it is not progragenda, that's what I believe and palestinians are not stupid to use children as shields becuz this doesn't work with IDF. Fire doesn't know a difference between a kid or a man. now let's pray that god solve this century problem.
8. men, women and children are all 'lives'.
redmike ,   tel aviv   (04.11.08)
Which is more valuable to society ?
9. Crazy Hamas Guys
Friend of Israel ,   Portugal   (04.11.08)
They always use peolpe as Shield to show to the world! They want show off IDF please clean this people
10. Making assumptions before the proof
Millie ,   Israel   (04.11.08)
Typically for terrorists using children as human shields, it sounds like the 12-yr-old was mixed in with the terrorists - enemy combattants. Israel is not obliged to restrain its actions against the armed and attacking enemy.
11. Observer, blah blah blah
jared ,   orlando   (04.11.08)
Thats right, focus your gaze through a very narrow prism and avoid having to see the true culprit, the context, or the circumstances. Such information would only impede a juicy opportunity to bash Israel and demonstrate true blindness
12. #5, no one would care
Danny   (04.11.08)
13. Observer
Tamir ,   Los Angeles   (04.11.08)
the same casualties DO happen to israelis but just much worse. Should we forget the recent terrorist shooting on a torah study house in jerusalem where many young kids studying were mercelissly targeted and gunned down? or how bout the many sucide bombings that left defenseless kids murdered by disgusting inhumane "jihadits"? comparing the IDF's accidental killing of youths (who are continuasly used as human shields) to the targeted murder of israeli innocents is incomprehensible. Nobody believes your crap anymore, it is so easy to combat and even easier to discredit
14. #10 when you have it every other day in limited area,
(04.11.08)
no proof is needed
15. If you don't like thugs in your neighborhoods..
Micha   (04.11.08)
kick them out. If you think of them as heroes, then you pay the consequences.
16. Human shields.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.12.08)
Israel cannot be blamed for hurting human shields. The key problem to be addressed is the way in which terrorists exploit their own civilians, forcing them against their will to serve as human shields or obtaining their agreement to serve as such. When human shields are used, those who agree to be used are combatants, and have chosen to die. As far as involuntary human shields are concerned, the terrorists are to blame for every civilian who is killed. As to the methods of the terrorists : http://xrl.us/bi9r6
17. no, actually 5 teens were killed-and thats wen the fighting
(04.12.08)
was going on yesterday. one of the other injured teens had an amputated hand from the tank shell fire. can the idf be a little more careful when killing these "palestinian gunmen." oh, wait, its supposed to be this way for "strategic" reasons.
