'Israel' using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza NOT H-am-as

A recent investigation by Haaretz has revealed a not-so shocking truth: Israeli occupation forces are using Palestinian civilians—men, women, children, and the elderly—as human shields in Gaza, not H-am-as, as the occupation claims. This inhumane practice, a clear violation of international law, is carried out with the full knowledge of senior military leaders. Haaretz’s investigation further exposed that Israeli forces cuffed civilians, often with cameras attached to them, to inspect potentially booby-trapped tunnels. One soldier’s chilling justification was, “Our lives are more important than their lives.” Attention now turns to how the global community will address these violations—excluding the predictable inaction from certain Western countries, whose go-to responses are already well-established.
