If you don't mind I'll just say that I have no problem believing what you are talking about (Palestinian gunmen firing from behind children) is pretty common. After all, consider the suicide bomber phenomon. We know most of the bombers are teenagers. But the people who run the organizations that organize and facilitate the bombings are adults - they recruit them, supply them with explosives and clothes, take them where they want them to go and tell them what to do and when. This is just as bad as firing from behind crowds of children.

"Do you seriously believe that grown men hide behind children." I don't know anything about that, but isn't it a similar tactic to operate a children's daycare next to a Palestinian police station. I myself would locate a children's center away from where bullets fly regularly, even without Israeli provocation. Isn't that using children as a shield?
