You don't think two things can be true at the same time? Hamas absolutely are using human shield tactics, and have been for as long as they've been in existence. There are articles on the Internet showing how and why they do this years back.

AND at the same time, Israel is using that fact to bomb much more indiscriminately than they could be.

Hamas absolutely are using human shield tactics,

Oh... are the white supremacists still clinging to this lie? Let's see who it really is that is using Palestinians as "human shields," shall we?

[–] djdadi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

White supremacist? Bro we're talking about two Middle Eastern countries.

Moreover, you showing when Israelis have used human shields doesn't even remotely prove or disprove anything Palestine has done. So respectfully, no.

we’re talking about two Middle Eastern countries.

Oh... are you going to pretend that you didn't know Israel is a white supremacist settler-colonialist state - and always has been?

Let's see how long that works for you, eh?

you showing when Israelis have used human shields

The only hard evidence we have for the use of "human shields" is their use by the fascist side.

So - extremely disrespectfully - put up or shut up.

[–] djdadi@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, so you're claiming that Israelis are Middle Eastern but are trying to exterminate themselves and preserve white people? I am so confused by your insane argument.

As for the evidence, you linked me a sketchy article from a non-reliable source. Just Google "Hamas human shields" and set the year to 2014, 2015, 2016... It's one of their longest running traditions and has been acknowledged by the UN and virtually every country on earth.

To be honest, this is probably just a troll account so I'm not sure why I'm even wasting the time.

Israeli apologism requires some hysterical pretzel-logic - but you've managed to go even lower than the average shill here. I guess white supremacism is a hard subject for liberals who want to pretend it doesn't exist, no?

you linked me a sketchy article

Ignore it if you want - it doesn't change anything.

Just Google “Hamas human shields”

Riiiiight, Clyde - every picture of a Palestinian child is a picture of a "human shield," right? And if you can't see the Hamas "terrorist" said child is carrying on her back it's just proof of how sneaky they are, correct?

I’m not sure why I’m even wasting the time.

You have to because your pro-white supremacist propaganda is falling before your very eyes. It's a bit of a case of sunken cost fallacy if you ask me - but I have yet to see fascist sympathizers drop a debunked narrative in a timely fashion.

[–] djdadi@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All this time and you don't even understand the term human shield 🤣🤣

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Oh no... we have a very good understanding of what the term "human shield" means.

To save you any confusion, I'll post an explanation of it for you again.
