New Film Details Child Abuse By IDF
There is a new film out by Defense of Children International (DCI), which shows how children are routinely mistreated by Israeli Defense Forces in the occupied West Bank.

You can see the film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zaeERjVReE&feature=BFa&list=ULuma1ELkEOL0&index=1

1. Is there mention of Hamas using kids as Human shields?
Or brainwashing kids to be suicide bombers? Interesting that the teachers never lead by example...

This film is just more propaganda. Hamas is far crueler to kids than anything the IDF does...

2. Being so much the weaker party, I expect more desperate measures
But from Israel, who has the complete and total support of the US military, I expect better. There's no excuse for them behaving like Nazi concentration camp guards, NO MATTER WHAT HAMAS DOES OR DOESN'T DO.

3. Using a child as a shield is a mark of cowardice, not desperation. nt

6. I agree, which is why the IDF are cowards for using children as human shields

Note that this is only one example, but that there are many more examples that have been detailed by Human Rights Organizations. See Amnesty International's statements:
