Look who’s using human shields now. The most moral army in the world.
A literal human shield. WTF!
From 2005: “The Israeli Defence Ministry will appeal against a supreme court ruling banning the use of Palestinian human shields in raids, officials said.” - it used to be policy. They wanted to continue.
I feel like this movie keeps going. Like Star Wars, Fast and Furious, or Aquaman.

This is, unfortunately, not a new practice by the IDF. Children have been used even before the current phase of the genocide.
That “protocol” sure is seeing a lot of violations. Do Israeli instructors wink and nudge a lot when they tell their soldiers not to do this?
If we only count instances like these we see from Israel, where an innocent person is literally used as a shield and not just sat at home or something, how many cases of Hamas using human shields actually are there?
To take him to the hospital, right?
Right??
Amazing how all they had to do wad hand him over to that ambulance but instead Israel once again chose to dehumanize Palestinians.
Yes. Right after PR event for “gods chosen people” and some fun shooty-time with Hamas.
Funny how investigations only happen after a video surfaces. I do not expect much will happen to them.
This also reminds me of an old reddit post that may now be awfully relevant: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/comments/xnj2w4/why_is_israeli_propaganda_not_called_out_or/
They usually never investigate anything. In fact they get free pizzas for shooting ‘Arabs’.
I wonder how the result of an investigation of the IDF against itself will turn out. I’m sure there’s gonna be lots of „you you you“s been given out, not really for doing this in the first place but rather for the fact that they got caught on camera.
