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?
To take him to the hospital, right?
Right??
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?
