I urge you to think a little more critically about the purpose of the wording "human shields"
The Israelis are dropping JDAMs, mortars and artillery into the most densely populated area in the world and Yoav Gallant's said bluntly they were going for "damage not precision"
They have refused hostage exchanges and have already killed some of them (50 I think I read on the Al Jazeera English chyron)
The number of Hamas operatives killed so far is in the low double digits range
They are calling _anyone_ who is currently in Gaza a human shield, not to emphasize their intrinsic humanity, but rather to warn they are targets too
- tzs 3y ago> The Israelis are dropping JDAMs, mortars and artillery into the most densely populated area in the world. What specific area are you talking about? The Gaza strip as a whole is about 15k people per mi^2. Gaza City is in the 20-40k per mi^2 (sources vary quite a bit). Going with 40k per mi^2 would put it around 70th on the list of densest cities [1].

- ngcazz 3y agoI stand corrected on the numbers. Still though, the entirety of the Strip is under fire - and a human standing in front of another human is no shield when you blow up both of them

- za3faran 3y agoLet's not forget that they also called the Palestinians animals. Sounds awfully similar to another genocidal regime that ruled over Germany before WWII.
