   notice that none of the tags focus on the fact stated in the article that it was the PA that refused to pay for the treatment, and thus were a direct cause for the lack of treatment. “Can we demand from the Palestinian Authority to leave the children out of the struggle”? – the article asks. Perhaps first we ought to demand that the PA and Hamas stop using children as human shields, as child soldiers, and as political fodder whose death they relish to make points with international journalism, which is as stupidly one-sided as the tage lines for this article.

     Perhaps you ought to demand that the IDF not use Palestinians as human shields as they did during the Gaza operation. There is NO evidence that Hamas uses children as human shields. There is plenty of evidence & pictures of the IDF using Palestinian children as human shields. In fact, there is one especially revolting image of a child tied to the hood of an IDF jeep.

     international journalism, which is as stupidly one-sided

     No, that would be your own comment that is “stupidly one-sided.”

       Here’s eyewitness testimony for the IDF using Gazans as human shields, in the well-known “neighbourhood procedure”:

       Note that the witness is a PA intelligence employee, hardly a Hamasnik.
