>> But I'm also opposed to military forces seeking to use children as human shields, or locating their forces in civilian areas as well..

So you are opposed to Isaraeli soldiers riding on buses that school children use. That's very good of you.

>> I'm also opposed of armed forces dressing in civilian attire, rendering them indistinquishable from the unarmed civilian population.

So you are also opposed to US occupation security contractors doing whatever mission they do in Iraq. I think that puts you on a collision course with official US policy.

>> I'm also opposed to political and military leaders strapping children with explosives and sending them off to blow themselves amongst enemy civilians (or military).

No one can approve of that. So far all your concerns are very humane. And I am in full and uncoditional agreement with them.

>> I'm also opposed to armed forces using civilian and humanitarian related equipment for military purposes.

So you are also opposed to the use of hospitals for the care of wounded soldiers. Gee don't you think that is a bit extreme. How about water trucks ? Someone can claim those are dual use ? No ?

>> And then I have to ask if you acknowledge that Palestinian forces have been guilty of all of the above

About as guilt as any occupation resistance movement.

>> Please do us all a favor and actually strive to answer the above question, rather than defaulting to your normal denial and avoidance posture.

Did that meet your requirements ? Further more, I want to go the extra mile, and propose that violators of these strictures be pursued and punished. I propose that both Palestinian and Israelis be put under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. With a multi-National observer team to monitor violations. I think the US has already volunteered to take part. Surely you will find that reasonable.
