"I was referring to you spiel about the Israelis using human shields"
You are quite capable of checking for yourself - there are examples of Israel both using children as shields, and of them launching rockets from the schoolyard of a kindergaten, along with photographs of both - try the 'Christians for Peace site.
I'm a bit fed up with providing links only to have the information they contain disappear into th ether, never to be referred to again.
As much of a pain in the arse Hamas is, without them Israel would have a totally free hand to do what it wants - more settlements, more incursions, more humiliation, more slaughter of civilians - who knows, maybe a replay of Sabra/Shatila to solve the refugee crisis once and for all.
Interestingly, the suggestion of an international boycott of Israeli goods has appeared in the our press sever times lately - not much, but it did help bring Apartheid South Africa to its knees eventually.
