The IDF does lots of things wrong... I insult them and Hamas equally. You and others do not.Facts about the IDF not to your liking?

The Israeli military said in a statement that its “directives and guidelines strictly prohibit the use of detained Gaza civilians for military operations.” It added that the accounts of the Palestinian detainees and soldiers interviewed by The Times would be “examined by the relevant authorities.”
The Israeli military employed a similar practice, known as the “neighbor procedure,” in Gaza and the West Bank in the early 2000s. Soldiers would force Palestinian civilians to approach the homes of militants to persuade them to surrender. That procedure was banned in 2005 by Israel’s Supreme Court, in an expansive ruling that also outlawed the use of human shields in other contexts. The court’s president, Aharon Barak, ruled that a resident of an occupied territory “should not be brought, even with his consent, into an area where a military operation is taking place.”
Why do you think they kill all the people with cameras?![]()
Aside from the Israeli propaganda which you so eagerly devour, there has been no evidence presented that Hamas uses human shields. Of course you are free to supply said evidence if you have it. The brave and fearless warriors of the IDF cower behind Palestinian children. Defend this:
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

The IDF not only uses Palestinians as 'human shields' for soldiers and vehicles, they also force them to enter areas they suspect might be booby-trapped, open suspicious containers, etc.
There was one story where they had a bound detainee they ordered to go in a hospital and order everyone to leave it, saying they had his mother and would kill her if he didn't cooperate. After he did and returned, they killed him in front of his mother.
It doesn't matter if they are kids, men or women, the use of human shields is vile and illegal under the lawA man who says he is a "kid" may well be an enemy. And if he says he was a "human shield" he may well be lying. The IDF is wise to xpect the worst and investigate; they did and the man was released.
You complain a lot when Hamas uses human shields as well, I bet? What about how they make schools and hospital military bases?
I saw that too, he was the guy in the white clothes, right?
The IDF using human shields is barbaric and violates Geneva Accords... sorry you find that funny.
You.
Who didn't see this coming?
US President Joe Biden stated that Hamas was using innocent Palestinians as human shields and emphasized the need to protect them.The first link is truly pathetic which stopped me even bothering to read the second one.
You evidently don't understand what we are talking about here.
That doesn't reflect well on you then, but it's mild when set against your defending of the use of human shields by the Israeli army.

Sure, just keep laughing at the innocent people being used and killed by Hamas. Funny stuff...![]()
It seems you know very little about Israel and the neighboring murderous Islamic tribes. I do know and I support Israel 100%.
I've likely forgotten more on this conflict than you have ever known,
You support the IDF committing war crimes? You do understand that the use of civilians as human shields is thus defined in law, and codified in the Rome statute of 1998? Or maybe you don't care. So which is it?It seems you know very little about Israel and the neighboring murderous Islamic tribes. I do know and I support Israel 100%.
Yep, when they have no other argument, out come the predictable accusations. So immature.
Who didn't see this coming?
It means journalists, independent observers and witnesses to IDF atrocities in Gaza and elsewhere. Capisce? Here's a list of those killed by the IDF for you to gloat over...I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
Your posts are just getting sillier...Biden as a source?
He claimed to have seen pictures of the 40 beheaded babies ffs
He would tell you orange isn't orange if it favoured Israel.
The difference is that HAMAS uses human shields as a deliberate part of their stated policy. Israel does not. A few instances of this kind of morally offensive behavior in time of war is understandable, but it is not condoned by Israel while it is not only condoned by HAMAS, it's mandated.
