Because we are in a debate and I have been trouncing you with your failure to back up your subjective claims. You continue to ignore the points I have made about "mass murder," which has entirely been on the Hamas side of the conflict. All you have is anti-Israel prejudice which you take to be fact. And you can't control your language for polite conversation.
If you don't like responding, then don't respond. Take some ownership of your position.
I don't think you know what you are talking about. Over 30,000 palestinians murdered by israel over the past several months and I am pretty sure most are civilians. To claim you are "trouncing" me is ridiculous. You have no evidence israel's victims are "human shields," let alone that hamas is an organic palestinian organization. What pisses me off is when people violate reality with nonsense and that is what you do. Calling me prejudiced and antisemitic? You ought to be banned for that. If I was a crybaby I would cry to the mods about it.
We have the same news. We have Hamas embedding in the civilian matrix, operating from hospitals, blocking escape egress of refugees, stealing the international aid supplies. Maybe you live in a bubble where none of this is happening, but it is real enough. And you are obviously ignorant of the international treaty prohibition against the use of human shields, and I can't do anything to dispel your ignorance but inform you. Where do you get your statistics? From Hamas? I wouldn't be surprised. For you, this is all one big excuse for their (Hamas') breach of a pre-existing cease-fire by a clearly genocidal terroristic massacre. Your prejudice is obvious to anyone, but apparently not to you. I don't need to say anything more about that.
Just because you call someone a human shield doesn't mean you get to murder them. When your own country creates an enemy and embeds them in hospitals and then murders civilians it is pure evil and that is the obvious reality. When it comes to what "everyone" sees why don't we have a poll on the site?
You are using inaccurate language, but the answer is: Yes. So long as you are attacking the enemy, collateral deaths resulting from that attack are on the head of the enemy who has inserted himself into civilian surroundings (hospitals, schools, apartment blocks, homes, warehouses, subterranean refuges beneath homes, etc.). That is the international treaty on the subject. The use of human shields is forbidden. Hamas uses them all the time, and we have seen that for 2 years by the Ukrainians as well.
The Israelis did not compel Hamas to occupy such places. And was abiding by the existing cease-fire on October 7th.
Answer your own question, if you think it needs an answer.
