Hamas actually uses human shields, though, and rewards people for war crimes, such as not wearing uniforms or kidnapping civilians.
Who's using human shields again? https://youtu.be/v8rrfys-Fgc?si=DTcBMLYHVjVGLsOl

Yeah a few Israeli soldiers have used human shields occasionally. It's a crime in Israel and people in the IDF get charged for it.
Hamas does it as a matter of daily policy, with hundreds of thousands of people, voluntary and involuntary. What kind of bullshit whataboutism is this?
In the first days of the war, Hamas literally spread rumors online that the evacuation orders were a hoax and that everyone should stay in their houses, that nobody should leave North Gaza, or Gaza City.
So if Israel had any kind of military base near civilian areas, would that mean it's using Israeli citizens as human shields?
