The IDF's solution to bank robbers holding people hostage would be to blow up the bank

Yeah no, the person behind the human shield wants to kill you and your family and is actively trying to accomplish said goal.

Saying things like "worse" is just picking sides for no reason.

There's a point where you can stop measuring the cuntiness and just accept that they're both well over the threshold of being a cunt. There's no limit to the size of the cunt bucket. There's no queue to get in.

They're both cunts and the world (and especially all the civilians in the local vicinity) would be better off without them.

Let's pretend

Pretend huh. Still not willing to admit it?

the extremely flawed and utterly repugnant lack of "logic" is that,
"if using human shields works as a strategy, they will do it more often".
"conversely, if we prove to them that using human shields is ineffective, they will stop doing it"

fucking. nauseating.

False dichotomy.

Britain's way of dealing with the IRA wasn't killing Irish people by the hundreds while hoping that some of them might be terrorists. Spain's way of dealing with ETA wasn't killing Basque people by the hundreds while hoping that some of them might be terrorists.

If you think that neither Britain or Spain would have been justified in brutalizing the Irish or Basque populations, but you think that Israel's disregard for the lives of innocent Palestinians is justified, you're just a racist tool.

To anyone both sides-ing this issue, you are flattening the genocide. This is an overwhelmingly lopsided conflict. One side has the funding and backing of the largest military presence the world has ever known. One side has caged and gated the other into increasingly smaller and smaller spaces, like literal concentration camps. This one side has decided that healthcare, housing, food, water, communications, etc are not important to provide to the people who they've effectively imprisoned. This side has people at the highest points of leadership calling for ethnic cleansing. This side has been called out by the UN for genocide.

The other side is fighting back on their land, among their own people, in a space that is one of the densest populations on the planet per square foot, in a place with no resources, cannot leave, must defer to settlers who take their property if they leave it due to threat. None of this is by their own choosing. Guerrilla warfare is a tactic used when asymmetry is stark and is often negatively criticised without context to its necessity. Both side-sing ensures that the asymmetrical nature of this conflict remains status quo.

But this is the most reasonable response.

If they realize that human shields aren't working, they won't use them and a more optimal number of people will be killed overall.

Also, any human shields you kill should be attributed to the people using those human shields.

Thats my take on this. I will agree to disagree with anyone who thinks otherwise.

PS: For all those replying: where did the words "Israel" and "Hamas" come from? I would like to bring to your attention that I didn't cover any details specific to the conflict anywhere above.. As far as I am concerned:

• Hamas is a terrorist organization
• civilians in Gaza are innocent
• Opinions about Israel are based entirely on Hamas reporting which could.be accurate or could be misinformation.

PPS: Lets play some mental games for a second.

Statement 1: X is mass murdering innocent people. And Y is trying to kill X.

Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy? X is bad Y is good.

Now let me reveal How X is mass murdering people.

Statement 2: X is doing so by putting those innocent people into the fire of Y on X.

You cannot tell me Y is worse than X after that. I don't say that we can't judge Y for attacking X under these circumstances, but X is never better than Y.
