the challenge:
Quote:
Gaza is tiny and the most densely populated place on earth. The Zionists, on the other hand, are well known for using Palestinians as human shields. They have even resorted to tying them to the fronts of their armored vehicles. Show us some examples of that sort of behaviour from the Palestinians.
That's a challenge to your hasbara post, above.

the gauntlet has been thrown!!
firstly, the gaza is not the most densely populated place on earth!
360 sq km /1,482,405 = 4117 per sq km

thus your assertion has effectively been proven wrong.
the infrequent us of palestinians as human shields has been rightly criticized and condemned and outlawed.
but the gazans have not outlawed criticized nor condemned the use of civilian populations as protective barriers against israeli retaliation. in fact it is the policy of hamas to use civilians as suicide bombers, to use children as bomb transporters and human sandbags.
so moony, at some point the frequency of use, ie the continuous and frequent use by hamas of it civilian population as participants in combat has a quality of evil that cannot be compared with the infrequent and publicly condemned israeli use.
let me give you an example of palestinian sanctioning the use of human shields and its implications:

Human shield deters Israel strike
The Israelis have called off a planned air attack on a house in Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza after hundreds of Palestinians formed a human shield.
.....
We call upon all the fighters to reject evacuating their houses and we urge our people to rush into the threatened houses and make human shields
Spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees
