Hamas calls on Gaza kids to form a human shield Following threats of an airstrike on the home of Hamas terrorist Abu Hatal on Thursday night, Hamas' al-Aqsa television called on all Gaza children to form a human shield to protect the terrorist in the A-Shouqaf quarter of Gaza City. Let's go to the videotape. I'll have a comment at the end. There is a difference between Hamas' use of human shields and their use in other combat zones.

The Goldstone Commission on human shields: Lies and damned lies I mentioned earlier that the Goldstone Commission report is 574 pages long. I have it sitting open on my computer, but finding the time to read it in its entirety... isn't likely to happen anytime soon. So I thought I would do some searching to try to give you the flavor.
