Look who’s using human shields now. The most moral army in the world.
A literal human shield. WTF!
From 2005: “The Israeli Defence Ministry will appeal against a supreme court ruling banning the use of Palestinian human shields in raids, officials said.” - it used to be policy. They wanted to continue.
I feel like this movie keeps going. Like Star Wars, Fast and Furious, or Aquaman.

Funny how investigations only happen after a video surfaces. I do not expect much will happen to them.
This also reminds me of an old reddit post that may now be awfully relevant: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/comments/xnj2w4/why_is_israeli_propaganda_not_called_out_or/
They usually never investigate anything. In fact they get free pizzas for shooting ‘Arabs’.
This is, unfortunately, not a new practice by the IDF. Children have been used even before the current phase of the genocide.
That “protocol” sure is seeing a lot of violations. Do Israeli instructors wink and nudge a lot when they tell their soldiers not to do this?
If we only count instances like these we see from Israel, where an innocent person is literally used as a shield and not just sat at home or something, how many cases of Hamas using human shields actually are there?
To take him to the hospital, right?
Right??
