We used the dazzle stick from time to time to add a quick shine to merchandise that was just tried on and on days our jeweler was not there to professionally clean items.

Israel investigates use of Palestinians as human shields by its forces in Gaza
Israel is investigating 'several cases' involving soldiers who have forced Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for bombs and gunmen. 'The use of Palestinians as human shields, or otherwise coercing them to participate in military operations, is strictly prohibited in IDF [Israel Defense Forces] orders,' the Israeli army said in a statement. 'Allegations of conduct that does not comply with these directives and procedures are examined. In several cases, investigations by MPCID [Israeli military police criminal division] were opened following suspicions of involving Palestinians in military missions.' Earlier on Saturday, the Associated Press reported that several Palestinians and Israeli soldiers had said troops were systematically forcing Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza . They said the practice had 'become ubiquitous during 19 months of war', AP reported. Seven Palestinians described being used as shields in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and two members of Israel's military said they had engaged in the practice, which is prohibited by international law. Rights groups expressed alarm, saying it had become standard procedure and used increasingly in the war. 'These are not isolated accounts; they point to a systemic failure and a horrifying moral collapse,' said Nadav Weiman, the executive director of Breaking the Silence, a whistleblower group of former Israeli soldiers who have collected testimonies about the practice from within the military. 'Israel rightly condemns Hamas for using civilians as human shields, but our own soldiers describe doing the very same,' Weiman told AP. One alleged victim, Abu Hamadan, said he was detained in August after being separated from his family, and soldiers told him he had help with a 'special mission'. For 17 days he was forced to help search houses and inspect every hole in the ground for tunnels, he said. Soldiers stood behind him and, once it was clear, entered the buildings to damage or destroy them, he said. The two Israeli soldiers who spoke to the AP – and a third who provided testimony to Breaking the Silence – said commanders were aware of the use of human shields and tolerated it, with some giving orders to do so. Some said it was referred to as the 'mosquito protocol' and that Palestinians were also referred to as 'wasps' and other dehumanising terms. The soldiers, who said they were no longer serving in Gaza, claimed the practice sped up operations, saved ammunition and spared combat dogs from injury or death. In October, the Guardian collected testimonies from former Palestinian detainees which were largely consistent with the reporting by AP. The IDF said the investigations were ongoing but provided no more details. The forcible use of Palestinian detainees to enter houses and tunnels in Gaza first became public in footage broadcast by Al Jazeera television in June and July 2024. An investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in August gathered testimony from Israeli soldiers who said the Palestinians used as shields were known as ' shawish ', a word of Turkish origin meaning 'sergeant'. The soldiers suggested it was an institutionalised tactic approved by senior officers. In 2002, Israel's high court issued an injunction prohibiting the IDF from using what was known as the 'neighbour procedure', detaining a Palestinian in an area of unrest and ordering the detainee to knock on the doors of their neighbours and oversee the clearance of their houses. The use of human shields continued, however. In 2010, two IDF staff sergeants were demoted for forcing a nine-year-old Palestinian boy to open a number of bags suspected of containing explosives.

Breaking Silence: Former Sniper Exposes Israel's Brutal Crimes against Palestinians
Former Israeli sniper, Nadav Weiman, has exposed the brutality of the Israeli military against Palestinians as part of Israel's tactics to control their territories and build more settlements. Nadav Weiman is a veteran soldier who served as a sniper in the Israeli military. He is currently the executive director of the 'Breaking the Silence' organization. Breaking the Silence Established in 2004, 'Breaking the Silence' is a non-governmental Israeli organization of veteran Israeli soldiers who served in the Occupied Territories since 2000. The organization has faced harsh criticism from the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and other senior officials in his government, who repeatedly tried to lobby other governments against providing funding to it. Israeli Brutality Exposed In a video footage that went viral on social media, Weiman exposed the brutality of the Israeli crimes against Palestinians. He recounted his time as a sniper in the Israeli military. 'Me and my team were snipers, and because of that we did lots of sniper ambushes from inside Palestinian homes. It is a protocol that is called Straw Widow,' he said. 'It basically means to take a private Palestinian house and turn it to a military post,' Weiman explained. 'The first time that we did it was in the refugee camp in Jenin in 2006. We were trained and full with adrenaline and energy,' he added. Destroying Palestinian Lives 'After we broke down the door and raided the house, I entered to the first room and I grabbed the person in his bed, because that is the tactic – to throw him to other room. But when he lifted from his bed, I realized it was 11-year-old kid, and I had camouflage on my face and it was at gunpoint. He looked at me with his eyes and was so afraid,' Weiman recalled. 'When adrenaline came down, I told myself 'what am I doing? Is this secure? Am I securing my family in Tel Aviv? No, I just ruined this Palestinian family's life. I don't know what would happen with them afterwards',' he said. 'But then quickly I said 'no, you don't understand something. There is a bigger picture'… something like that. But they did that two or three times a week until I finished my army service,' Weiman noted. Moment of Self-Reckoning The former Israeli sniper reflected on his actions as a soldier, recognizing that his military's main goal was to seize Palestinian territories and build more settlements. 'I invaded into hundreds of homes, I dragged I don't know how many people from their beds. But then when I thought about it, I understood the occupation is not for security, it is for control. We want to control Palestinians because we want to build settlements, we want to take their land,' he said. 'So for me, it was just doing the mission that the (Israeli military) sent me to do. But thinking, and not just executing commands, that is what made me break my silence and understand what we are doing,' Weiman noted. Short link : Post Views: 107

And you just got yourself 20 minutes of peace. Promising review: "I absolutely love the Tonie; I think it's a great idea and perfect for kids. The Tonie box itself is soft and easy to use. You can switch tracks by bumping the box and volume by tugging an ear. It is great for kids of many ages and the Tonies you can get are great. It is educational and would make a great gift." —Annienicole7Price: $99.99 A 4-in-1 convertible baby carrier for those moments when all you really need is an extra set of hands. Strap your little to your chest or back, and you've got your own hands back. Promising review: "Great basic carrier! Super easy to use and adjust! Also very easy to store and take anywhere. The quality is great and comfy for my baby." —AshleyPrice: $25.49 (available in six colors) A folding travel potty seat because your little one is going to have to go. (Probably at a really inconvenient time!) Now, you're prepared. Keep this one in the trunk. Promising review: "This is seriously such a brilliant little invention. The carrying bag makes this easy to pop into a diaper bag or an overnight bag instead of carting around an entire potty seat. The suction cups make it so it doesn't slip and slide on different toilet seats. This has been the easiest way to make sure we don't get behind on potty training while visiting family members this holiday season!" —HaleyPrice: $14.99 (available in three colors) A car seat organizer that you can stock with games, water bottles, a tablet, and more. It will keep the kids entertained, but it won't stop them from a) asking you if you're there yet and b) telling you that they need to go to the bathroom at the worst time. Promising review: "Perfect for having stash of toys, snacks, drinks in the car going to park or traveling. May need to get another one once our second baby gets a bit older." —KRPrice: $18.29 A 6-quart Instant Pot, which is basically like having a sous chef on staff because this 9-in-1 appliance does it put itself in the dishwasher for cleanup (but the lid and inner pot are dishwasher safe)! Promising review: "Time and life saver! I get out of work late, so this helps put dinner on the table and in bellies at an appropriate hour. Love it and can't wait to try out all the functions!" —ReviewerPrice: $129.99 A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that's giving actual magic with its ability to remove stains and scuffs around the house, both old and new. This thing is especially an MVP if your littles are prone to creating beautiful wall murals for you when you're not looking. Promising review: "The holy grail of cleaning products!! Took all the marks off of our walls before moving out!" —ClewisPrice: $3.29+ (available in sets of two or four) A woven storage ottoman from Studio McGee, which we all know is the real way to keep a house with kids in it picked up and clean. No one will ever know that you were frantically running around the room, throwing clutter into your ottoman just minutes before guests arrived. Promising review: "The size is perfect!! It is sturdy, so you can use it as a little accent table or footrest. Great purchase." —HmPrice: $100 (available in two colors) A stroller organizer that's basically an extension of your home (it's going to have to hold a LOT of stuff). Bonus: This caddy has two insulated beverage holders — one for your caffeine (or grown-up juice) and the other for your baby's bottle. Promising review: "I love it! So helpful with everything I carry with the stroller. Would def buy again!" —EvelynPrice: $23.49 A rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled children's toothbrush with an accompanying app that will get your kiddos pretty pumped to brush their teeth each day and night. Clean teeth without a fight? Take that win. Promising review: "This is the most incredible toothbrush for any kid who has any issues brushing. The app is a great, fun tool my little one loves. She now looks forward to brushing and has brushed twice in a row just to get a gift from her sparkly." —TCPrice: $29.99 (originally $34.99; available in two colors)
