Human Shields

by David ET on Jan.04, 2009, under Uncategorized

I commend those who are speaking out against the situation in Gaza from humanitarian standpoint

But I do have issue with those who are simply trying to make their political point by taking advantage of the humanitarian disaster.

I also have no issue with people picking and choosing their battles, I do that all the time since we cant take them all and at the end the the efforts add up if we each take a cause or two. 

But again I have issue when some are for human rights in one place but then side with violators in another place!!

In short I have issue with using humans lives as a shield (on the ground or in blogs) for political advancement and also have issue with hypocrisy and inconsistency that somehow some are more human than others. Depending on which side some are politically, ideologically or religiously , then their care for humanity’s right changes !

Some obvious Examples are US, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Republic in Iran and some other examples are some people among us!
