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.
There is no way for you to verify that israel doesn't use hamas as a puppet. Think logically. Who gave hamas funds in the beginning (founded it?) Who wants to "push palestine into the sea?" What would give a good pretext to do that?
Who can prove what? The person who asserts something is true as a positive fact has the burden of proof. The reason is that there is no logical way to prove something is not true---except to prove the converse positive fact. So, prove that Israel is using Hamas as a puppet. I have no Reason to think otherwise. (Your challenge is akin to "Prove there are no Leprechauns!" "Prove the Earth isn't flat!") You really ought to study logic. It separates real thinking from sheer foolishness.
And, puppet or not, the puppet has no reprieve from destruction if it is conducting genocide. Because, really, isn't your argument to let Hamas out of jail and have no reprisal for their crimes?
The problem with that is (as I have mentioned several times) we know for a fact israel funded hamas into existence and they have spies high up in the organization. Furthermore the absurd nature of the attack/standdown coupled with israel's history of blaming arabs for israel's false flag treachery makes it unreasonable to assume the attack was arabic. You have no evidence of that whatsoever but you are happy to blow up innocent human beings based on the illusion. It is you who has the problem understanding logic.
You said no matter who did it they should be held accountable. Considering your approval of the slaughter of palestinians then if israel did perpetrate a false flag what do you think the punishment should be?
