In every successive Israeli attack on #Palestinian communities, the pattern has been the same: Israel accuses the #Palestinians of using human shields, international organizations, and human rights groups investigate, and the investigations reveal that the party systematically using human shields is not #Palestine, but rather #Israel.
Indeed, the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has documented the repeated use by Israel of human shields at least since 1967. Investigations by both Amnesty International and #HumanRights Watch into Israel’s “Operation Cast Lead” attacks in Gaza found evidence that Israel used human shields (including children) but found no evidence that Palestinian groups did so.
Similarly, successive #UN Commissions of Inquiry that investigated the massive #Israeli attacks on #Gaza in 2008-2009 and in 2014 looked into Israel’s claims and found no evidence of Palestinians using human shields. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child found “the continuous use (by Israel) of Palestinian children as human shields” from 2010 to 2013. The UN’s Special Rapporteur on terrorism reported the same finding.
