\nIn practice, this meant that when IDF soldiers searched a building where they suspected armed individuals were present, They forced a local Palestinian civilian (often children or women) to walk in front of them at gunpoint, sending them through the door first<\/b>, so that they can take the brunt of any hail of bullets or traps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRuling of the Israeli Supreme Court (2005)<\/h3>\n
The situation had become so untenable that Israeli and international human rights organizations filed a lawsuit against the army. In 2005, the Israeli Supreme Court officially declared the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields to be illegal and prohibited the IDF from doing so.<\/b><\/p>\n\n- \n
The most compelling evidence:<\/i> The very fact that the court had to ban this practice, and that the Israeli Ministry of Defense appealed the decision (requesting that the practice be allowed to continue), legally proves that the Israeli army systematically committed this war crime.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n3. Continued practice despite the ban<\/h2>\n
Despite the legal ban, the Israeli military has not ceased using this method to this day. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Israeli veterans\u2019 organizations such as the Breaking the Silence<\/i> (Breaking the Silence) has documented countless cases during subsequent military conflicts as well.<\/p>\n\n- \n
Children as human shields:<\/b> A series of documented cases (such as during the 2009 Cast Lead operation in Gaza) shows that Israeli soldiers forced Palestinian boys to open suspicious bags (in search of bombs), or tied them to the front of Israeli military jeeps so that Palestinian protesters would not dare to throw stones at the vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Military bases in the midst of the civilian population:<\/b> If we apply the definition of \u201ehuman shield\u201d to the integration of military infrastructure into residential areas, then Israel is the primary perpetrator. The Israeli army\u2019s headquarters (the HaKirya complex) and numerous military command centers It is located in the densely populated centers of Tel Aviv and other major cities, in the immediate vicinity of shopping malls, hospitals, and schools.<\/b> According to the logic of hasbara, this would mean that the State of Israel is using the population of Tel Aviv as a human shield\u2014though the mainstream media would never put it that way.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSummary<\/h2>\n
The accusation of \u201ehuman shield\u201d is one of the most diabolical tools of hasbara warfare, because it serves a dual purpose: morally exonerates the perpetrator of mass murder and dehumanizes the victim.<\/b><\/p>\n
In the articles and infographics published on this site, this myth must be debunked using Israeli court rulings and reports from international human rights organizations. It must be pointed out that the mainstream press uncritically repeats an accusation against Palestinians that the Israeli military has been proven to systematically use against the Palestinian population.<\/p>\n
