Israel, it's about time!

[Mourhelm]

Both Israel and Hamas are guilty here. For the record it does not say "if you use civilians as shields it is your fault that they die" as you indicated earlier.

I agree it doesn't say that explicitly in my quote of the Geneva convention, but I'm sure you can find it.

I will take the time to look for it later (I'm kinda busy now and I need to reformat my computer).

I found the needed time to look.

From Protocol 1 Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1977:

Article 58.-Precautions against the effects of attacks
The Parties to the conflict shall, to the maximum extent feasible:

(a) Without prejudice to Article 49 of the Fourth Convention, endeavour to remove the civilian population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their control from the vicinity of military objectives;

(b) Avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas;

(c) Take the other necessary precautions to protect the civilian population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their control against the dangers resulting from military operations.

From the forth Geneva convention:

Art. 28. The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

As per AFKain's request, a more explicit text that shows that, according to international law, Hamas is responsible for the civilian population in the Gaza strip and for their deaths.
