Aharon Barak Army Quotations

The army has no right to use civilians as human shields. . . . It is cruel and barbaric,

You cannot exploit the civilian population for the army's military needs, and you cannot force them to collaborate with the army, ... Based on this principle, we rule it illegal to use civilians as human shields, and we also rule it illegal to use civilians to pass military warnings from the army to those the army wants to arrest.

It is uncommon that there is ever really free will ... Ninety-nine out of 100 times, it's not free will. It is very difficult to confirm will, and I am concerned that when an army unit comes at night, no one will refuse to collaborate, out of fear.
