Israel is the only country who had legitimately been documented by the UN to use children as textbook definition of human shield in recent memory

During the 10-year period, an estimated 7,000 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17, but some as young as nine, had been arrested, interrogated and detained, the U.N. report said. [...]. Israeli soldiers had used Palestinian children to enter potentially dangerous buildings before them and to stand in front of military vehicles to deter stone-throwing“. Almost all those using children as human shields and informants have remained unpunished and the soldiers convicted for having forced at gunpoint a nine-year-old child to search bags suspected of containing explosives only received a suspended sentence of three months and were demoted,” it said.

Meanwhile remember when Israel blew up Associated Press office in Gaza while accusing Hamas of using the Associated Press journalists as human shields?

Late Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the building was used by Hamas military intelligence. “It was not an innocent building,” he said. Israel routinely cites a Hamas presence as a reason for targeting buildings. It also accused the group of using journalists as human shields.

Pepperidge farm remembers. Israel is a completely rogue nation behaving way outside the boundaries of international law and civilized humane society. Every other state actors, even the Russians and Ukranians do not behave like this. This is some Liberian warlord genocide shit.
