    Voluntary vs involuntary human shields. Hamas plundered the wealth of all Gaza and used it to build 500 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide.

    It is meaningfully different, yes. There’s been a handful of strapping people to a car. It’s a crime in Israel. People have been imprisoned for it.

    ~5 people < ~2,000,000 people.

    5 people is basically an isolated incident.

    2,000,000 people decade over decade is a modus operandi.

      How exactly are Gazans human shields? In what meaningful sense? Being in your home near something Israel deems a target doesn’t make you a shield, does it?

      Voluntary vs involuntary human shields.

      Who is voluntary?

      It is meaningfully different, yes.

      Glad we agree. And much worse, imo.

      ~5 people < ~2,000,000 people.

      The rest of this all depends on how exactly you’re alleging that 2 million people are human shields and not just humans
