It seems as if the Iraqis are not the only country in the Middle East to have used "human shields". :o
The Israeli Supreme Court announced a temporary injunction on the use of "human shields" by the
Israeli Army. Seven human rights groups took the Army to task and filed their complain today. The
Israeli Supreme Court announced their decision later on in the afternoon effectively preventing the
use of Palestinians as "human shields"---whom were used to approach homes in Palestinian camps
that were thought to house militants, or may have been booby trapped.
