The people killing human shields are just as shitty as the people using human shields. Both are terrorists.
Would be the best for the first asshole not to take human shields to begin with.
I'm sorry I can't hear you over a settlement being bulldozed. Wait a second for the bulldozers to stop.
Oh silly me...they don't stop.
Are you trying to justify using human shields?
I literally never said that. Youre doing the bad faith thing.
Friend, I'masking you because I was baffled what your comment had to do with anything. I still am. Could you explain the relevancy?
You're not wrong, but that's not what's happening, and it's still not an excuse.
What do you mean?
I mean we're in a situation where civilians are being used as human shields. It would be nice if we weren't, but that's not what's happening.
Because Hamas took human shields. They could have not taken them. But yes, it happened and it's not like it can be taken back now.
And it still doesn't justify IDF massacring thousands of Palestinians.
Well duh
Can we stop using the word terrorist for something that it obviously not terrorism? Terrorist use terrorism to strike fear into the population of a more powerful state and hope for and overreaction that would play into their cards. I can only see one terrorist organization here. But, the IDF is that overreacting oppenent.
You're right. Starving out civilians and bombing their homes doesn't make IDF terrorists. It makes them war criminals.
That would be a much more correct term.
