  • The kids bedroom one looks legit, and if so is really fucked up, fair enough. However, Al-Shifa hospital is and has always been bogus. This is where they found a “Hamas guard shift list” that turned out to be calendar, if you remember that. More generally,

    Even Al Jazeera admits that there were terror tunnels inside residential buildings.

    That’s fair. However, if that’s your definition of human shields then… Okay? I’m not sure where else you expect them to put tunnel entrances. It remains a fact that claims by Israel of Hamas using civilian infrastructure for military uses (putting a door somewhere isn’t a military use) in a way that makes them valid military targets are almost all (not all, as the kids bedroom example shows) false.

    In November 2024 the UN reported that in most instances Israel does not provide substantial evidence for its human shields allegations in Gaza nor could they independently verify these allegations.

  • And if you don’t, how would you refute it? There is no data that shows that there isn’t a significant majority that’s hateful towards the Israelis.

    First, you can’t just say “there is no data that shows that there isn’t X”; you need data that shows X. However, you’ll probably find that data fairly easily, because Palestinians hate Israelis’ guts. That gets us to the real problem with this argument: Having an opinion doesn’t make one guilty of anything. Only acts can make one guilty, acts like—for example—voting for Likud and other Israeli pro-war parties knowing they’re running on a campaign of Palestinian extermination. It’s just more projection from fascists (and make no mistake Zionism is a fascist ideology. For reference see: https://zionism.wtf/.)
