    But this is the most reasonable response.

    If they realize that human shields aren’t working, they won’t use them and a more optimal number of people will be killed overall.

    Also, any human shields you kill should be attributed to the people using those human shields.

    Thats my take on this. I will agree to disagree with anyone who thinks otherwise.

    PS: For all those replying: where did the words “Israel” and “Hamas” come from? I would like to bring to your attention that I didn’t cover any details specific to the conflict anywhere above… As far as I am concerned:

    • Hamas is a terrorist organization
    • civilians in Gaza are innocent
    • Opinions about Israel are based entirely on Hamas reporting which could.be accurate or could be misinformation.

    PPS: Lets play some mental games for a second.

    Statement 1: X is mass murdering innocent people. And Y is trying to kill X.

    Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy? X is bad Y is good.

    Now let me reveal How X is mass murdering people.

    Statement 2: X is doing so by putting those innocent people into the fire of Y on X.

    You cannot tell me Y is worse than X after that. I don’t say that we can’t judge Y for attacking X under these circumstances, but X is never better than Y.

      Israel has claimed it is shooting through human shields for decades. Do you think Hamas is too stupid to realize that it doesn’t work?

        Hamas likes it when Israel kills Palestinian citizens, because it make Israel justifiably look bad. Hamas wants to get other countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran involved in the war, and dead Palestinian civilians helps that goal.

          That completely contradicts your original point, that “If they realize that human shields aren’t working, they won’t use them”

              Well fuck I just responded from my inbox. Whatever.

              So you think Israel is too stupid to realize how bad this makes them look and they are playing right into Hamas’s hands?
