The article says they refuse to discuss this. The fact is we protest the use of human shields by terrorist groups like Hamas. If IDF troops used an 11-year old boy as a human shield in Gaza, we protest it, but Hamas will win the media war, which is their primary goal. The world may ignore how Hamas uses their own people as human shields, some of which are voluntary, but some which are involuntary. I am really wary of these wars with Hamas and Hezbollah, because they are setting up situations for the media in order to win sympathy for their cause. Somehow Israel seems to step into every trap set up by the terrorists, including electing such racist, right wing politicians as Lieberman, who will do more damage to the Israeli cause. We already learned from the mistakes Bush made; and we have a new president Obama, who believes he understands how to deal with terrorists better and he understands the mistakes Bush made. Give Obama a chance.
