>> The Palestinian gunners use children as human shields when firing and on the front lines, during ambushes.

Please supply a video clip from a major news organization proving your claim.

>> Have you noticed that in all previous wars, it was thought necessary to get some of your enemies' women and children to have an effective hostage situation? In this war, you can use your own ... if you are a Palestinian. Isn't that convenient?

Actually, the Israelis make extensive use of their children propaganda objects. A reasonable person would consider the outposts in Gaza, for instance as military occupation enforcement posts. yet we can see the Israelis bring their families and children to occupy them. Why ? Apply your own logic. You would have to say because it makes a good rallying cry when a family is killed. otherwise why subject them to the danger ?

So instead of being "Just one more difference between the sides", it looks more like a merging of tactics.
