Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's not a justification dude, it's still wrong but you're lying to yourself if your say you wouldn't do it either.

Take a guess where all of the known presidential bunkers are in the us.

How was saying they don't have a choice not justification of the action?

I cant comment on whether or not I would, but I haven't. I'm not the one currently using human shields to push my agenda, nor am I the one being looked at for doing so - what I would do is irrelevant because I haven't done it... like any other law in existence.

So, back on topic - how is saying they don't have a choice not justification?

Point to another place to setup a secure garrison in the open air concentration camp that is gaza. I'll wait. Similarly it's not justification because it isn't justifiable, as I said it's still shitty to do but it's easy to see why it was done. That said you should look into operation shark that was aimed at the proto Israeli terror group Lehi for the bombing of a civilian hotel that contained the Palestinian embassy in 1946. Would you like to venture a guess as to where they found insurgents and weapons? Here's a hint: chools and opitals.

Correct, you can't answer because it will destroy your argument. You would do it, I would do it, any person with a brain would which is why there are specific rules about it in international law and it isn't because it never happens I can assure you of that, quite the opposite in fact.

the action of showing something to be right or reasonable. It isn't right, nor is it particularly reasonable so it isn't a justification. You could make a hundred legit arguments here but understanding=justification is hilariously stupid.
