Soldiers stationed in Bilin: Gaza is easier

A Ynetnews article with a fascinating Freudian slip at the end of it:

Soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces' 75th Armored Brigade say violent clashes with protestors demonstrating against the separation fence in the West Bank villages of Naalin and Bilin every Friday are often "more terrifying for us than dealing with terrorists in Gaza inside a tank."

.....

In general, the regiment sources say, Naalin's residents are creative and constantly adopt new ways to expand the demonstration. For example, they carry steel signs with different captions in Arabic, which are also used as a human shield against the rubber bullets fired by the IDF soldiers.

-----

Note the word "human" in the second-to-last line. The standard response of the anti-Palestinian brigade when it is pointed out to them how many innocent civilians the IDF kills is to stick their fingers in their ears and chant "Human shields, human shields, human shields". I presume this is just a typo...

1. You believe there is an ANTI_ PALESTINIAN brigade here?
I do wish you would point them out becuase I hadn't realized there was such a brigade. Names will be more than sufficient.

5. No, when it comes to I/P, you're in the anti-reality brigade.
You're smilies are toasting with glasses of the "There's no such thing as a Palestinian and they've got no right to a state" koolaid.
