Could you describe in more detail the method of using children as human shields by the Palestinians?

An independent group, based in the UK, known as Double Down News, made a video just over a week ago related to the recent UN report.

Their channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@DoubleDownNews
The video is called "Israel Thought No One Noticed. We Did."

The fact that I have not directly linked it, is telling.

It is a narrator reading directly from the June 2026 report by the UN's 'Independent International Commission of Inquiry' (COI) on the Palestinian territories. If you want to understand why this report lacks basic credibility, you have to look at how it was actually put together. First, the UN Commission is legally barred by Hamas from conducting real, free investigations inside Gaza. As a result, the report explicitly relies on testimonies vetted by the Hamas-run health ministry, local handlers, and tightly controlled media. In any civilized legal system, a report written by taking the word of a terrorist dictatorship at face value would be thrown out immediately. Second, notice how throughout the entire video and the UN report it reads the words Hamas, Islamic Jihad, rocket launchers, and tunnels are completely absent. The report treats Gaza as if it were a peaceful civilian suburb where Israel is operating in a complete vacuum, totally erasing the reality of a massive, heavily armed terrorist infrastructure intentionally embedded inside the population. Third, the video quotes an unverified claim that Israeli soldiers shoot children as a 'game of target practice.' Think about the logic of that for a second. If an army with the intelligence, drone coverage, and precision firepower of the IDF were actually playing 'target practice' with millions of children for over two years, the casualties wouldn't be a tragic fraction of the population in a dense urban war zone they would be in the millions. The death of any child is an absolute tragedy. But the UN COI has a documented, decade-long history of structural bias against Israel, run by commissioners who have a track record of one-sided conclusions.

ok well fine, here is the video. let people make up their own mind:

Perfect. I’m glad you linked it so everyone can see it for exactly what it is.
Letting people see the actual video makes my point entirely. Anyone who watches it can instantly see that it contains zero original reporting, zero independent cross-examination, and completely erases Hamas, their tunnels, and their rocket launchers from the equation. It is a literal reading of a one-sided UN report that takes the word of a terrorist dictatorship at face value.
Like you said, let people make up their own minds. When they watch a clip that pretends a massive, two-year urban war happened in a complete vacuum without a single terrorist infrastructure present, they will realize exactly how weak your narrative really is

Why not just leave the UN then? Why wait until they kick you out, like Nazi Germany was expelled from the League of Nations? This is literally cuckoldry at the state level and a disgrace to the nation, or rather, to the tribe, if we use the original narrative from Middle Eastern fairy tales. Nations are a XIX-century construct.

You seem to use AI for every response. Is it because defending the actions of a colonial state is difficult without it?

Uses a terrorist attack to commit genocide
Starving innocent women and children by not allowing aid in
Torturing prisoners, incl kids in prisons
Celebrating death penalty for palestinians with champagne and cake
Double taps hospitals and targets journalists and aid workers.
Talks only about defending themselves when they are really the aggressors.

I use AI as well, this is a very difficult topic and it is very easy to offend ppl, so at times its safer to use AI as an aid. its like using a pen or clothes, or a car, someone has to use/wear or drive the ai.

I mainly ask to rephrase my answers so I wont sound harsh or offensive
