Israel is kicking ass

[Sherlock Holmes]

There won't BE any civilians used as human shields. They will be in bomb shelters, or evacuated. That's the way a moral army works.

Unless their Palestinian civilians:

About 50 per cent of Arab communities on the border with Lebanon and Syria have no bomb shelters, compared to 7.5% of Jewish communities in the same area, the head of the military's civil defence command told a Knesset subcommittee in 2018.

That's the way an amoral nation works.

Of course any supposed "bomb shelter" becomes a legitimate target if there's intelligence that it's being used to protect military personnel, would you agree?

I can't access that page, but bomb shelters were installed in unrecognized villages after October 7.

Sigh. Yes. Military objectives are military objectives. This isn't difficult.

There won't be any civilians embedded with a military objective in Israel. See?

Not for me, but you're clearly having trouble, because...

Well that's a delusional claim because on Oct 7th the IDF designated people's homes (Jews) as military objectives and attacked them and killed embedded civilians, so time to snap out of your fantasy and start seeing reality like the rest of us.

Seriously?! You can't tell the difference between intentionally embedded military objectives within civilian protected places and enemy combatants attacking civilians in civilian protected places? The IDF did not designate HOMES as military objectives. The military objectives were the enemy combatants committing crimes against humanity.

Let me walk you through it:

When an armed militia attacks civilians in civilian protected places without a military objective that is a crime against humanity. The people guilty of the crime against humanity are those attacking civilians with no military objective. Hamas is guilty of crime against humanity for its attacks on October 7.

When a military responds to an armed militia of enemy combatants who are attacking civilians in civilian protected places that military is attacking military objectives (the enemy combatants) with the intent to inflict the least incidental harm. The people guilty of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity are those attacking civilians. Hamas is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity for its attacks on October 7. Israel, while targeting clear military objectives/enemy combatants, are NOT guilty of war crimes, even if there is some incidental harm.

When an armed militia or the military of a government builds a tunnel under a hospital, or hides weapons in a school, or launches rockets or other attacks from a mosque, that armed militia is intentionally placing military objectives within civilian protected places. Guess what? That is a war crime committed by the armed militia: Hamas.

When a military responds to attacks where there is a military objective intentionally embedded with civilians in a civilian protected place, and targets that military objective, even with the risk of incidental harm, that military is NOT committing a war crime. Israel, when it eliminates military objectives in civilian protected places is NOT committing a war crime.

When a military removes civilians from military objectives and either evacuates them away from threat of harm, and/or places civilians in shelters to keep them from harm, that is NOT a war crime. In fact, that is the obligation under law.

Hamas is guilty of the crimes against humanity / war crimes of: targeting civilians, placing military objectives within civilian protected places, failing to make a distinction between combatants and protected persons, failing to remove civilians from areas of battle and military objectives. Israel is guilty of none of these things.

Gaza's own government is legally and morally responsible for providing for its citizens.

And they certainly got the financing from weak western appeasing governments.

They could have turned that place into a jewel of the Middle East, with all that cash.

Instead of using it to try to eradicate the Jewish State.
