That Question of Human Shields!

So, let me get this straight. Poor unfortunate, caring, meticulous, clinical Israel, the most civilized, humanitarian army in the world, who drop leaflets telling Palestinians to evacuate before bombing (so kind), who my Zionist 'friend' advices have canceled operations because it would result in too much Palestinian deaths (be still my heart), has ‘unavoidably’ killed over 200,000 Palestinians since October 7, because barbaric, uncivilized Hamas have built, embedded their military headquarters, bases, installations within the Gaza civilian infrastructure.

So, don’t blame angelic Israel for any deaths. No, blame Hamas who use their people as "human shields" . Never mind that Gaza is the most densely populated place earth. That is what we are conditioned to believe --- that all the casualties are not a result of the IOF ( Israeli Occupation Force) targeting civilians. Heaven forbid, no! The most "moral" army in the world would never do that to “human-animals” as per Israeli President Herzog on October 7 --- they care too much. They only target Hamas operatives, but what’s an innocent, caring, loving people to do when they are forced to defend themselves against people who without cause hates them, and wants to destroy them and take ‘their’ land, and so place their weapons and operation in homes, hospitals and schools?

Iran Retaliates

So, last evening, Iran fired 200 missiles --- after numerous Israeli provocation — targeting as per international law, and the rules of engagement, Israeli military installations. Suddenly western media is concerned that although Iran is targeting Israeli military facilities and Mossad Headquarters, there could be civilian casualties because (get ready) these are embedded in Tel Aviv, a densely populated city, and hence among the civilian population. Seriously?! I thought that was Hamas and Hezbollah.

Recently, Jewish journalist, Glen Greenwald showed Google maps that show that Israel deliberately builds its military bases, installations, and control centres underground, with civilian infrastructure, galleries, malls, in the densely populated Tel Aviv city, on top. A CNN reporter expressed the concerns of the IOF that close to 10 million civilians live near the military facilities targeted by Iran. Mossad Headquarters is embedded in civilian infrastructure! So, who exactly uses human shields?

Gaza is the most densely populated place on earth. It is hard to carry on a liberation struggle separate and apart from civilian infrastructure. It can be argued that Hamas does not deliberately place its facilities within schools, homes and hospitals, as Israel wants the world to believe. Israel on the other hand strategically uses its people as human shields, and accuses Palestinians of the same,to justify its brutal genocide! Not only that. The IOF uses and have been using Palestinians as human shields for years. This is a true psychopath that we are seeing.
