If you only read one section with evidences, the most important is Section 4 on “human shields” as this is the biggest unchallenged repeated lie. Thus, while potentially of concern, such statements would not constitute the use of “human shields”. The reality is that it’s not the Palestinians who use or act as human shields, but rather, it’s the IDF and the Israelis that use Palestinians as human shields against other Palestinians. How bad was the use of Palestinian human shields by the IDF? As Palestinian human rights attorney Noura Erakat says in this Democracy Now interview, “We are being primed for genocide”.
