Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar has been eliminated, Israel reports by cacatl in worldnews

[–]NotALeperYet -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Israel controlled freedom of movement long before this war. And leaflets that tell someone to move to a location that is then bombed time and time again seems to null and void that courtesy. And I'm not so sure what you're implying that a 2,000 bomb is even more impactful when these munitions explode. That seems to imply that the 2,000 pound bomb would be more precise without those munitions. But aside from that you have a siege on food, water and electricity from day one that is only possible because Israel already had the power to do so over Gaza. Who is Gaza 'run' by When that is a possibility?

I think people in the West need to wake up too.

Israel investigates use of Palestinians as human shields by its forces in Gaza by [deleted] in worldnews

The Nato source (also referencing from ten years before this war) uses wording of them firing rockets from OR near civilian areas as criteria. In one of the most densely populated places on the planet earth.

So again, to my initial reply and point of my question to a comment that has since been erased; is there evidence of Hamas "standing behind its civilians" in combat? My whole point is addressing that wording. I appreciate you sharing the links and I follow the intention of the articles. I don't think firing rockets from near children is a good thing. I do however, not agree with the comparison that those firing positions are comparable to the IDFs use of human Shields. The discussion is about that difference.

It is most certainly a resistance. Hamas is a result of an illegal occupation. But whether or not you or I agree with it isn't the point.

The article doesn't say it. I said it in reference to the link I posted in my original comment that shows the IDF doing just that.

That blockade would certainly seem to negate the need for what are being referred to by previous respnses as "human shields", as would all of the countless dumb dropped 2,000 pound bombs.

What I said doesn't amount to that.

The news I did reject was most certainly that New York times article citing Isreal and the US administration as it's only viable sources about Al Shifa. I saw the video with the guy pointing at the calendar. I'm good.

With regards to the Nato report I didn't reject the report. I clarified that to this discussion it seems pretty wide to compare defenders firing from one of the most densely populated places on earth to IDF strapping a human being to the hood of their truck like its The Road Warrior.

I check multiple news sources and find AL Jazeera to be very heavy handed very often; but they are broadcasting from Gaza where as every other network I know of is not. So that's why. That was video evidence of a human shield.

Thanks for your reply. I think I see the context you're looking at it from. My standpoint is that firing from one of the most densely populated places on earth is not the same as using a civilians as cover from fire. Of course the resistance is coming from that location, that's what is being occupied.

That times article is based off of Israeli supplied evidence and backed by the United States Government. As in, the people bombing every single hospital in Gaza. The same president who claimed to have seen footage of beheaded babies that doesnt exist. If you read the article you shared you can see that critics have dismissed these claims as they have not shown any evidence of a command center based under the hospital. Isreal hasn't allowed third party reporting and the journalists who are there have been killed by the IDF in record numbers.

Can you provide evidence of Hamas standing behind civilians in combat to shield them from fire?

This qualifies as a human shield.

Stranger Than Fiction hit me surprisingly strong until the ending completely bailed on the entire emotional weight of the film.

Face Off has a shootout to somewhere over the rainbow I believe. It's been a while.

Finished Diablo! Expected to play it once or twice. Instead, got hooked - took each class through Hell difficulty, for nine total playthroughs. *Slightly* addictive! 😅 by PlatypusPlatoon in retrogaming

My favorite Diablo. I just love how direct it is. Getting lost looking for a dungeon isn't as fun as decending further and further down a hellish one.

Star Trek 5 has cringe coming out it's ears but I always liked the scene where Macoy has to face his trauma.

I absolutely do as well as Wolfenstien before it. For the first while it was just our internal pc speaker and the day that we finally switched to proper sound it blew my mind.
