    The whole human shields thing is pure projection. We’ve seen plenty of examples of isntreal doing it but none of Palestinians doing it. They’ll bomb a fucking hospital and claim that hamas was storing weapons there and therefore hamas was using the people as human shields…but then they can’t produce any convincing evidence that there were weapons there in the first place.

    Always projection. The west kills kids and don’t want to feel bad about it so blame the fucking people getting killed. Classic.

      That’s the other thing; the fact that isntraelis do it means that Hamas would go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, so why would Hamas intentionally use human shields? The fact that the IOF believe that they can make effective use of human shields means that they know it would stop Hamas firing on them because Hamas would try and minimize civilian casualties.
