    They took the hostages and killed tons of people , it’s all over security cameras, there are witnesses, people from German and other countries recognized those hostages as their family member. Hammas posted video of dealing with those hostages. Hostages are women, kids and men. Are you saying that is not hiding behind the kids and women? I have tons of proofs to believe they do this.

    You got only “Nana they are actually good people”
    So that it actually how this not works… That’s why I gave you opportunity to present evidence that Hammas is not lowest scam in the region. You presented nothing.

      I have tons of proofs to believe they do this.

      To be clear, I also think Hamas took hostages. I just don’t think most people consider that “being a human shield” unless there is imminent danger to the hostage taker.

      You got only “Nana they are actually good people”

      You realize that you can’t prove a negative empirically?

      I’ll prove Hamas isn’t using human shields when you prove the tooth fairy don’t exist.

        in other words, you got nothing to prove your OP, so you play it into corner, so to speak. You started with claim that is against existing evidence and when challenged you can’t prove the evidence wrong.

        BTW taking civilian hostages is very well definition of human shield. That’s the whole point of hostages. Your terrorists friends use them as meat shield, so their oponent is forced into dilema, either risk loosing their people or to give in. Bank robbers, airplane highjackers, etc… use this all the time.

        You might be confusing it with taking enemy combatants into jail to prevent them fighting in war. But even those are not paraded trough streets, naked, half-dead/ dead, with dislocated limbs, on truck, while being spitted on.
