    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.

    Israel has claimed it is shooting through human shields for decades. Do you think Hamas is too stupid to realize that it doesn’t work?

      Hamas likes it when Israel kills Palestinian citizens, because it make Israel justifiably look bad. Hamas wants to get other countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran involved in the war, and dead Palestinian civilians helps that goal.

        That completely contradicts your original point, that “If they realize that human shields aren’t working, they won’t use them”

            Well fuck I just responded from my inbox. Whatever.

            So you think Israel is too stupid to realize how bad this makes them look and they are playing right into Hamas’s hands?
