And y'know, if Hamas would stop using schools and Children as Human Shields, those numbers might be significantly lower.Yeah, those 920+ civilians had it coming to them. :rolleyes:

Thats ****ing laughable. One, because it came from the One-side Report.
Care to explain how its one sided? Seems to me that the report was pretty fair, but I noticed you didn't say that the reports evidence was false.And that the report says what Hamas does is irrelevant?
Where exactly does it say that? In what context?
I did a search on the text didn't find anywhere where it said what Hamas does is irrelevant:
The following quotes are from the Goldstone report (linked above), and are the only paragraphs that contain the word "irrelevant", as per my PDF viewers search.Page 202:
934. Article 54 (1) and (2) of Additional Protocol I reflect customary international law.495
Article 54 (2) prohibits acts whose specific purpose is the denial of sustenance for whatever
reason, including starvation, forced displacement or anything else. In short, the motive for
denying sustenance need not be to starve the civiliaPage 276:
1298. The Israeli Government stated that “from the commencement of the Gaza Operation and
for its duration” a total of 1,511 trucks with supplies from Israel as well as diesel, cooking gas
and other fuel were allowed into the Gaza Strip. It would appear that some 60 per cent of these
supplies were foodstuffs. The Israeli Government states that (presumably during the same
period) it also coordinated the passage of 706 trucks carrying donations from international
organizations and various countries.660 Information from UNRWA suggests that these quantities
were irrelevant given the situation prevailing during the military operation and the local needs.
For instance, although fuel for the power plant was let in, it was inadequate, forcing the power
plant to shut down and causing 16-hour power cuts in some areas. Israel also reported allowing
in 2,277,000 litres of diesel during the military operations, but according to UNRWA records
only 199,400 litres were allowed in, while OCHA records suggest only 92,000 litres were
allowed in, compared to 6,628,400 litres in January 2007.661Page 317:
According to PCATI, even seemingly innocuous measures such as cuffing (both hands and feet) are used in a
deliberate way. Painful shackling is done for invalid and irrelevant reasons, which include causing pain and
suffering, punishment, intimidation, and illegally eliciting information and confessions. The practice of shackling
may be used by the various authorities as a tool for dehumanizing Palestinian detainees subject to the control of the
occupying Power. PCATI, “Shackling as a form of torture and abuse”, Periodic Report, June 2009.Page 402:
1870. The possibilities for obtaining reparation and compensation in the Israeli legal system
have been limited. A 2001 amendment to the Civil Wrongs Act extended the definition of “acts
of war” and set procedural limitations on Palestinians’ ability to bring claims against Israel.
These limitations include the shortening of the period before the statute of limitations applies and
the requirement to submit a “notice” of damage to the Israeli Defense Minister in advance of the
claim and within two months after the damage occurred.1200 Additional amendments passed in
2002 and 2005 prevent the courts from hearing claims relating to actions by security forces in
“conflict zones” proclaimed as such by the Minister of Defense, and give immunity to the State
against claims by subjects of enemy States or members of “terrorist organizations”.1201 Under the
last two amendments the character of the harmful act, the circumstances under which harm was
suffered and the causality link between the perpetrator and the harm have become irrelevant. The
Mission received information that the amendments allowed the Minister of Defense to declare
areas in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as “conflict zones” retroactively.
Can't find anywhere in the report where it says what you claim.
**EDIT**
Ok, you meant what I said. Well, Hamas using Human Shield becomes irrelevant as a defense for Israel if they engage in indiscriminate attacks on civilians area's and use Human Shields themselves. The IDF have shown again and again, they don't give a crap about the lives of Palestinians.
**END EDIT**Wake up. Goodness...
Wide awake here

But in fact you cited the Goldstone Report as follows:Care to explain how its one sided? Seems to me that the report was pretty fair, but I noticed you didn't say that the reports evidence was false.

Perhaps you need to clean up this statement then.It has been shown by the Goldstone report (not to mention shown by Human Rights outfits) that the Israeli's didn't give a crap who they murder, so Hamas's use of Human Shields become irrelevant, as the Israeli's aren't particular about there targets, and use the exact same tactics as Hamas, when it suits them. So I fail to see how the Israeli's are any better.0 -
