Israeli human rights activists have accused border police of using a 13-year-old Palestinian as a human shield.
Rabbis for Human Rights say that Mohammed Badwan was tied by police to a jeep during a recent demonstration in the West Bank village of Bidou.

The police apparently hoped this would stop Palestinians from throwing stones during a protest against Israel's West Bank barrier.

...and the U.S. is mum. No surprise there. I wonder what would happen if Palestinian militants captured an Israeli and used him as a human shield against Israeli warplanes. The U.S. would probably offer to sell Israel more weapons to help it in it's fight against these "terrorists."

By the way, the investigation that is mentioned? That will be inconclusive, I bet you ten dollars. The Israelis never, ever do anything wrong, you see.
