The only times the Palestinian man wasn’t bound or blindfolded, he said, was when he was used by Israeli soldiers as their human shield.

Dressed in army fatigues with a camera fixed to his forehead, Ayman Abu Hamadan was forced into houses in the Gaza Strip to make sure they were clear of bombs and gunmen, he said. When one unit finished with him, he was passed to the next.

Well obviously not. We're long past the times where it mattered what anyone was actually saying. Fighting strawmen and attacking people directly rather than what they're saying is a lot easier and wins you many more upvotes from the hivemind.
