An Israeli military court has convicted two soldiers of using a Palestinian boy as a human shield during the 2008-2009 offensive on Gaza. Sunday's convictions are among the most serious connected to soldiers' war conduct in Gaza. The ruling said the two soldiers inappropriately ordered a 9-year-old boy to open bags they thought might contain explosive material. The soldiers will be sentenced at a later date. Israel says it launched the Gaza offensive in late December to stop cross-border rocket attacks by Palestinian militants. Three weeks of fighting killed at least 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. Also Sunday, Israeli border officials say police have shot and killed a Palestinian laborer who was detained while entering East Jerusalem from the West Bank. Israeli officials say the man was shot when he tried to grab the police officer's gun, but it was not clear whether the officer fired at the man or the gun misfired. Israeli police say the man was among a group of Palestinians who had crossed over into East Jerusalem Sunday. In September, riots erupted in East Jerusalem after Israeli police shot dead a Palestinian protester. Israel captured East Jerusalem along with the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 war.

That is the difference between Israel and its Muslim neighbors. Israel punished people who violated their rules of engagement. If this had been reversed and some pali did this. They would have given him a little blue ribbon with 1st place written across it.
Exactly Stone. Let's look at what becomes of two IDF soldiers who mistakenly drive to a PA police station for protection from Pali thugs shall we? Yeah, they were torn apart and the fucker with the blood on his hands is joyous.

It still blows my mind how there are those that either tend to ignore something like that, or it just goes right over their heads. They just don't seem to understand the difference between civilized, and barbarian, defensive and offensive.
