Peres: "We Do Not Use Our Children as Human Shields"
[Ynet News] Hagai Einav - President Shimon Peres commented on the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on Monday, saying that "the problem is not on the Israeli side." Referring to Hamas' imprisonment of abducted soldier Gilad Shalit, Peres said: "Unfortunately we are dealing with an organization that lacks rules and principles, and which cannot be trusted with anything it says." Speaking about the Goldstone report, Peres said that "everyone is asking how could there be more children killed on the Arab side. The explanation stems from our focus on protecting and shielding our civilians, while they put theirs in the battlefront. We do not use our children as human shields."
