    I’m not sure if you’re genuinely a bit slow but “human shield” is not just a concept from Wikipedia or the only place one might learn about it, but it’s just an easily approachable resource. Human shield is defined similarly by other orgs too like United Nations, International Criminal Court etc. You can search the term online have all kinds of people using the term

    Here’s one from Nigeria https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/03/africa/nigerian-president-kidnapped-victims-intl/index.html

    Surely Muhammadu Buhari is not a white supremacist?

    There’s a gazillion similar articles. I can link to them if you wish.

    Do tell, apologist… do you think it’s merely a coincidence that all of Israel’s traditional supporters are all countries with deep histories of white supremacism, antisemitism and colonialism?

    What does this have to do with the concept of human shields…? I feel like you’re again avoiding the questions and the actual topic.

    That’s because I don’t have to.

    I guess that’s true but it does give off a bit of an either uninformed or cowardly (sorry) feeling. You don’t have to argue, but it would definitely help and make the conversation better.

    Aaaaand …

    This is as straight as it gets, genius - I’m not the one buying into white supremacist propaganda… you are.

    So for you the concept of human shield is just white supremacist propaganda?

    It’s a bizarre take to me. I’m not sure if you genuinely believe that. Someone holding a person at gun point to prevent someone on firing them, I don’t believe you think that has anything to do with white supremacy, but you don’t believe in calling that a human shield?

      you’re genuinely a bit slow

      Which one of us is regurgitating white supremacist propaganda, Clyde? Which one?

      What does this have to do with the concept of human shields

      Are you asking what the white supremacist settler-colonialist propganda you are regurgitating on here has to do with white supremacism? Is that what you are asking?

      either uninformed or cowardly (sorry) feeling.

      Again… which one of us is regurgitating white supremacist propaganda? Me or you?

      It’s a bizarre take to me.

      White supremacists always seem taken aback when their white supremacism is pointed out to them… perhaps it’s my fault for expecting too much from an “ubermensch” - after all, you’ve never lived up to your own hype, have you?

          What is this “white supremacist propaganda”

          Seriously… wtf did you think Israel is? Where did you get the idea that Israel isn’t a white supremacist settler-colonialist state? Did you think that people call it an Apartheid-state for shits and giggles?

            You are accusing me of spreading white supremacist propaganda because I talked about Israel? I doubt that’s the reason.

            For reference, this is the comment that you followed up with the accusation

            The IDf operates behind every civilian in Israel - which means every civilian in Israel is a “human shield” for the Israeli state.

            That’s an interesting take on it. I don’t think that’s how the idea of human shield is usually viewed. It’s usually more direct, operating from a place with civilians so you don’t get bombed or literally forcing someone to stand between you and your enemy or something.

              You are accusing me of spreading white supremacist propaganda

              No. The fact that you are spreading white supremacist propaganda is self-evident. It requires no proof on my part (since you have provided it all by yourself), and the only defense you have is to try and debunk the mountains of evidence we have that proves Israel is a white supremacist settler-colonialist state.

              If that is your plan, I suggest you get going… that’s going to take you a lifetime.

                  What did you think your little “human shield” dreck was really all about, Clyde?

                  It has never been anything other than a paper-thin justification for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state to perpetrate mass-murder on an “other” that has been marked for genocide.

                  Go read the testimonies of Yugolsav and Soviet partisans from WW2 - they will inform you what the use of actual human shields looks like, because the Zionist’s ideological cousins, the Nazis, loved using that trick.

                  Your attempt to paint Palestinian resistance to Israel as using “human shields” simply because of the obvious fact that Palestinian resistance… drumroll, please… exists amongst Palestinians is about as venally fucking white supremacist as it gets.

                  What does that make you, Clyde?

                    I think it was about a non-combatant (or a group of non-combatants) who either volunteers or is forced to shield a legitimate military target in order to deter the enemy from attacking it.

                    Your attempt to paint Palestinian resistance to Israel as using “human shields” simply because of the obvious fact that Palestinian resistance… drumroll, please… exists amongst Palestinians is about as venally fucking white supremacist as it gets.

                    I don’t think anyone is painting all of their resistance as using human shields. But using human shields is one of their tactic, yes.

                    What does that make you, Clyde?

                    I’m sorry but you keep mentioning that name. Who the fuck is Clyde…?
