    The craziest part to me is that using human shields is intended to deter the adversary from rash actions, but we are at the point where the IDF is calling the bluff and just firing indiscriminately at anyone opposite them in the streets.

    Using human shields is fucked, calling the bluff and killing human shields is just as fucked…

      Israel has been shooting through supposed “human shields” for a long time. It makes no sense for Hamas to even bother.
