so i'd like to know whether hamas really has a systematic policy of using human shields. but the idea that anyone would believe israel about this, or that they would believe hamas, is very silly. really, people can look right into the eyes of someone with the world's most obvious motivations to lie, and actually apparently believe them, or just join right in. seriously, if you find yourself repeating the lines of either side, you've merely discredited yourself. any person with a shred of rationality or any commitment at all to speaking the truth could not possibly accept what either side is saying about something like that.
