Israelis are using Palestinians as human shields, video suggests
Human shield: it certainly looks as though the Israel Defence Force dressed up a Palestinian as one of their number and used him as a shield.
Will this be the end of Israel’s cheerleaders saying Hamas is using the people of Gaza as human shields and that this is shameful?
It’s not quite the same, in that Israel is accusing Hamas of using the entire population of Gaza; in fact what the Israel Defence Force have been doing is a more accurate application of the phrase.
Here’s the video:
🚨 BREAKING: ISRAELI HUMAN SHIELD
The @IDF kidnapped a Palestinian, put him in chains and dressed him to appear like an Israeli soldier then used him as a human shield while carrying out a military raid in Qalandia refugee camp, Jerusalem.

And here‘s a story about it from Middle East Eye, because the UK’s mainstream media apparently wouldn’t dream of reporting anything that makes Israel look like the bad guys:
A video broadcast by Al Jazeera appears to show Israeli soldiers using a detained man as a human shield during a military operation in the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah.
The man is seen in chains, wearing a medical face mask, military body armour and a soldier’s helmet.
MEE can’t independently verify the video, and neither can This Site. But it certainly looks damning.

The IDF have long history of doing this, there are loads of similar examples going back at least a couple of decades.. The phrase on the evidence tweet is a good one for the extreme right anywhere: Every accusation is a confession.
Isn’t this a war crime? Is someone going to, at least, draw it to the attention of the South African authorities so it can be included in the case against Israel? Supposing that it can be absolutely verified of course and isn’t some kind of obnoxious straw man..
