I'm not buying it. Oh both sides have made mistakes but thats not one of them
The Israeli's detain Arab Muslims and transport them.
This is entirely different than using ones own as human shields.
I'm not sure there is a single documented incident of the Israeli's using human shields
The Israeli's have been guilty of using Palestinian children as human sheilds - not detaining and transporting them.
Israeli High Court: Israeli Soldiers Used Palestinians as Human Shields 1,200 Times Washington's Blog
A blog site, ? really ?
I"ll dig into the claim but from a blog site, it requires one very large chunk of salt
It was the first one that came up - however, here are more:
U.N. report accuses Israeli forces of using Palestinian children as human shields, abusing children in custody
IDF soldiers convicted of using 11-year-old as human shield in Gaza

sorry no subscription

makes no specific citation of any court action. IE it just says there was a court action but fails to link to the specific case.
Fourth link
The case was thrown out.
Again we have NO evidence directly supporting this claim
Nor do we have mention of good ole Bernie Sanders Pumpkin. Topic, remember topic ;--)
The same UN reports cite crimes by Hamas - are they to be likewise disregarded?
One of the articles discuss high court rulings on the use of human shields.
Israeli high court bans military use of Palestinians as human shields
The Israeli high court yesterday ruled that the army's long-standing practice of using Palestinian civilians as human shields in combat is illegal under international law. It said the military's claim to have amended the procedure to allow civilians to "volunteer" to work with the army was still unacceptable because it was unlikely anyone would freely do so.
"You cannot exploit the civilian population for the army's military needs, and you cannot force them to collaborate," said the Israeli chief justice, Aharon Barak. "Based on this principle, we rule it illegal to use civilians as human shields."
The case was brought more than three years ago by human rights organisations that said the army routinely forced Palestinian civilians into dangerous situations as a means to protect soldiers. Some of the most common methods were to force Palestinians into buildings to see if they were booby-trapped, or to enter the hideouts of wanted men and tell them to surrender. Soldiers also forced civilians to stand in front of them when on patrol.
At least one human shield was killed, and others have been wounded. Nidal Daraghmeh, a 19-year-old Palestinian student, was shot dead after troops forced him to knock on the door of a wanted Hamas fugitive and shooting broke out.
Seven Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups told the court the use of civilians in any capacity in military operations breached the Geneva conventions.
I have a Bernie Sanders Pumpkin Pie reciepe somewhere....
I think Bernie would condemn the use of human sheilds by both Israel and by Hamas. That's the kind of guy I think he is. Decent. Not something that can be said of many politicians.
