Israel Using Human Shields

EDIT - these videos are old stuff and not related to the current conflict in Gaza. We have no idea what is happening now as foreign journalists are not allowed in. However, Beast does link to something further down the page about Humans shields being used in the current conflict too.

A shield. the guy is also not wearing any protection like the soldiers are. He is being told where to go. See where he is about to go up a flight of stairs but then ios redirected to not go up any further flights, the little shoves to move him forward etc.

Apart from that one, there is also mention of the eleven year old that was used.

The testimony also involves the person telling how they fired into a room over his shoulder.

I doubt they would be callous to exterminate the people - also then no one would "cooperate" as much as they do. At the moment they know that there is a chance they will survive.

In the past, Israeli soldiers have frequently taken over Palestinian homes, effectively imprisoning their occupants, to use as military observation and firing positions. In other cases, they have forced Palestinian civilians, at gunpoint, to go before them into buildings from which they feared attack.

There is loads of testimony. This is the first time such a thing has been caught on camera/available to foreign press.
