You didn't answer the question at all: how do you prosecute a war when all the combatants are embedded in a dense urban civilian population? Are you going to send your soldiers into buildings door to door to face whatever booby traps and horrors the terrorists placed for them? Systematically using civilians as human shields is a war crime for precisely this reason, because it exposes civilians to a great deal of danger.
- dunekid 2y agoWell the Israel does have a history of door to door killings, please reference the 1948 Nakba massacres and Deir Yassin atrocities. IDF used Palestinians as literal human shield. No amount of whataboutery could erase the horrors IDF has committed in Gaza. Have you seen the videos IDF personnel posted themselves, looting homes, bombing any stone that is standing? Digging graves on cemetery? Mass graves around Al Shifa?
- megous 2y agoActually I did. By excluding one particular category of things. I can provide many other exclusions. General exclusions + some obligations is pretty much how laws of warfare are defined. Which is how nations agreed to wage wars more "humanely" in the past, including Israel. And I think Israel should not wage its extermination campaign at all, btw. So I simply don't agree with the premise of your question, personally.
