    Using human shields makes you a war criminal. Attacking someone using human shields does not technically make you a war criminal, because it does not endanger civilians without furthering your “just” goal of killing that war criminal.

    Please correct me if I am wrong. You still should consider if killing the war criminal is worth the cost and this does not mean civilians had it coming by any means.

      Are you simply uninformed, or do you see all of the 50%-children population of Gaza as the war criminals here? Few Hamas terrorists using hospitals (still not believably proven) for various reasons and IDF bombing these critical service buildings for civilians, while hundreds of civilians are using them, is how come attacking the human-shield users only?

      For clarity, no one is arguing against Israel retaliating against Hamas at this conflict. Hamas has proven themselves to be pretty clearly a terrorist organization in their acts, whatever their goals are. The whole world is calling them as such accordingly. What sane people argue here is that IDF has also clearly proven to be a terrorist organization, with a civilian killing scale of sheer efficiency of a regular army and the so called western humanitarian governments are turning s blind eye to it, or worse trying to pass it as something just.

      The meme is about morality, not legality.

        Legality is downstream from morality. To me, killing civilians in a war is pretty fked up. But wilfully getting your own women and children killed just so you can film them to show the world how bad your mortal enemy is is way beyond fked up.

          Yeah, the world shouldn’t see what’s happening.

            Way to miss the point… Keep doing propaganda for people who’d murder your wife and daughter for not wearing a hijab, that will show those heckin zionists
