Iraqis use civilians as human shields, just like the Palestinians

Is that surprising? The world didn't believe the Israeli's when they claimed that the killers known as "Palestinians" used ambulances, schools and hospitals as weapons storage areas.
Lo and behold! The Iraqi's have done the same exact thing with the Americans! Is this part of Arab culture to hide behind woman and children.

UNWRA used by Palestinian terrorists, by MARGOT DUDKEVITCH
Terrorist organizations in Palestinian-controlled areas, as well as in Syria and Lebanon take advantage of UNRWA workers and their vehicles to transport arms and terrorists, according to a document drawn up by defense establishment officials.
The document notes that Palestinian terrorists in Israeli custody admitted using UNRWA facilities, equipment, and vehicles to assist in carrying out terror attacks, knowing that UNRWA personnel are able to travel in Israel and Palestinian Authority-controlled areas, as well as in Lebanon, Syria, andelsewhere, without being subjected to security checks.
The report focuses on UNRWA employee Nahed Rashid Ahmed Attalah, 38, a resident of Jabaliyah in the Gaza Strip, who was arrested last August by security forces as he returned from Egypt.
Attalah first began working for UNRWA in 1987 as a director of food supplies for Gaza Strip refugees. He was provided with a UN vehicle and issued a UN laissez-passer that entitled him to unrestricted travel in the region. According to the report Attalah admitted to investigators that he used his car to transport terrorists and arms.
Attalah told investigators that he was repeatedly asked by officials of Fatah's Popular Resistance Committee to drive them in his UN car as it was never subjected to IDF inspections. He also made use of his laissez-passer to travel to Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria where he contacted officials of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, received funds, and transferred arms.
Attalah is currently on trial on eight counts including aiding terrorist activities, conspiring to trade in arms, assisting in attempted premeditated murder, and possessing illegal arms.
He was indicted last September, and in February this year the IDF military court of appeals decided to extend his detention until the end of the legal proceedings against him.
