I’m someone else and I’m going to do it anyway. We can all see the hospitals and schools being bombed, the bodies in the videos, and even the Israeli government officials saying they don’t give a shit and will do whatever it takes to eradicate everyone in Gaza.
Yea, I do want to bother, and you can go fuck yourself. That’s what you want, correct? To be a massive tool and when someone rightly tells to sit on a stick and rotate you can act superior because you were “polite” while shitting on an the graves of thousands of children. There ya go, my gift to you, dipshit.
We have ample evidence that hamas was using those places for war purposes. They were trying to fool you into thinking they are only hospitals and schools which is what civialized countries do so that civilians are not attacked as colladeral war damage.
No, there is certainly not 'ample evidence.' On the subject of Human Shields, there are some independent reports for past conflicts of Hamas jeopardizing the safety of civilians via Rocket fire in dense urban areas, two instances during Oct 7th, but no independent verification since then so far. None of which absolve Israel of the crime of targeting civilians under international law:
HRW on Laws-of-War Violations 2009
Agency Demands Full Respect for the Sanctity of Its Premises in Gaza - July 2014
HRW - Palestinian Armed Groups’ October 7 Assault on Israel
Israel/OPT: Israeli attacks targeting Hamas and other armed group fighters that killed scores of displaced civilians in Rafah should be investigated as war crimes
HRW - Gaza: Unlawful Israeli Hospital Strikes Worsen Health Crisis
Additionally, there is extensive independent verification of Israel using Palestinians as Human Shields: IDF uses Human Shields, including Children (2013 Report), and in the latest war Israel “Systematically” Uses Gaza Children as Human Shields, Rights Group Finds
