- cess11 2y agoOf what use is a human shield if your enemy would just shoot the person in front of you? The IDF commonly uses palestinians as human shields though.
- davrosthedalek 2y agoTo make the enemy kill civilians....
- cess11 2y agoHow would that work? Is the IDF somehow forced to kill civilians? If so, how come the palestinian resistance groups aren't and considered accountable for it?
- guappa 2y agoedit war, completely unreliable for now.
- NomDePlum 2y agoThat article appears to state that the use of human shields by Hamas is not true and fabricated by Israel. It's not a term I've seen any real evidence for. If anything the opposite is true according to the linked and Guardian article. Israel is pursuing a policy of killing suspected members of Hamas in their family home/building when they are not engaged in warfare, using dumb bombs that guarantee there will be significant civilian casualties, likely in the low to high 10's and possibly higher.
