IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi decided on Thursday evening to rebuke the commander of former West Bank Division, Brigadier General Yair Golan, and to freeze his promotion, due to the findings of a Military Police investigation launched following various reports of the use the 'human shield procedure' in the West Bank.
The investigation is focused on operation 'Hot Winter' carried out by the IDF in Nablus in April 2007. Investigators are checking to see whether soldiers used Palestinian civilians as human shields.
A video clip from the Associated Press shows soldiers leading a Palestinian to a home with their weapons pointed at him.
Military Police investigators attempted to see whether senior officers in the Central Command, and perhaps higher up, authorized the use of the procedure despite knowing that the IDF had forbidden it.
Bet Wolf Blitzer commments on these IDF War Crimes in his "Situation Room." Or cute Katie Couric mentions these Crimes Against Humanity on her 6 o'clock news. Or Bill O'Reilly comments on these barbaric tactics used by the IDF?
Wrong, wrong and wrong again. News about the IDF using Palestinians as human shields will never pass the lips of the talking TV heads of America.
They're too busy selling the Zionist plan about how sweet and nice a country Israel is. How they always are just minding their business when those nasty ol' Ayyrabs" come bursting out of the dark.
The plan that keeps Americans brainwashed to the actual realities on the ground in Occupied Palestine, where the American funded and Israeli mandated Palestinian genocide is proceeding at full speed.
Forget about any so-called ME peace conferences. Like others before them, they'll be sabotaged some way, either directly or indirectly, by Israel.
Israel likes to proclaim loudly that it is a nation of "peace."
The only peace Israel wants is: a "piece of Jordan; a "piece" of Syria; a "piece" of Lebanon; a "piece" of Egypt; a "piece" of Iraq; a "piece" of Saudi Arabia and whatever "pieces" are left after Israel finishes it's genocidal extermination of the Palestinians.
Israel is starting to feel a little heat from the American people... and punishing this soldier is just a show for the American audience. Using Palestinian human shields is regular acknowledged and accepted practice in the IDF and only people who are limited to mainstream zionist controlled media don't know this.
Here is a little Palestinian girl telling he story as a human shield... its subtitled..
Sorry... the video size isn't quite right and I don't know what I'm doing wrong..
