This concerns every person in every nation of the world. Israel and the United States have decided that international law doesn't apply to each anymore, but both nations are having a little trouble because both nations are in direct violation of International law. The solution? Declare it obsolete and re-write it. The example given here of using human shields is a deception. What Israel is referencing is urban warfare and fighting against an invading army from the buildings and locations the invading army is invading. This is what Israel defines as a 'human shield'. The law defines human shield as using a civilian or civilians purposely to place a buffer before your troops so that the civilians are shot at before you, what Israel and the United States both do in Iraq and Palestine under the guise of 'searching for terrorists'. What both nations are attempting to do is to make it a war crime for an invaded or occupied people to conduct guerrilla warfare from populated areas, basically disarming any resistance to occupation, oppression and bruit force.
This will also apply to domestic issues. History shows consistently that the tactics an imperial nation uses upon citizens abroad eventually become the tactics it uses on its own citizens. The day will come when the American (and perhaps the Israeli people) will decide the blood diplomacy of their respective governments and the accompanying increased restrictions to their own lives at home are too high of a price. That is when they begin to demonstrate and fight back and that is when these laws then give the military the authority and legality to kill, crush and destroy their own people. That is what is at stake here. That is why every citizen of planet earth needs to know about this because such changes can and will be applied to all of us should we as citizens find it necessary to reign in rogue governments in the future.
This tactic of changing the laws to suit objectives, morality be damned, is exactly what the Nazis, Communists, Kings and other rulers have done since time began.
