The word Americans got from the Israeli military when they started bombing the sh*t out of Gaza is that they didn’t want to kill civilians. But the Hamas terrorists are using civilians as “human shields.”Tell me that you don’t know what a human shield is without telling me that you don’t know what a human shield is
But wouldn't that imply the Israeli military would be ultra-careful about its targets? In a hostage standoff, don't the Police attempt to save the lives of the "human shields" instead of barrelling in with guns a-blazing, innocent hostages be damned???
Imagine an armed gunman grabbed your kids and put a gun to their heads. When the authorities arrive on the scene, they shoot the hell out of the gunman---and your kids. You scream, 'WTF did you do???!?' They shrug and say "Sorry, we had no choice. It's the gunman's fault because that cowardly bastard used your children as human shields."
THAT is the Israeli response you are defending.
