It's literally terrorist 101 to use human shields. This tactic has been used by every insurgency in the last hundred years.
It's why it was added as a war crime.
As for the second one to commit a war crime. If you follow the rules, but your enemy doesn't, you will lose. This is the international equivalent of the bunch buggy no punch back bullshit that let's people hit you with no retaliation.
Repeating the same lies "human shields" and "terrorist" doesn't make it true.
The leader of Hezbollah was confirmed dead in the attack, so clearly they were using human shields... They have been attacking Israel from a foreign country, and are not part of that countries military, which makes them terrorists.
You don't like the truth, but lying about it doesnt change the facts of the matter.
It makes them a paramilitary organization. They're fulfilling their duty under international law to stop genocide.
They're committing war crimes constantly. Attacking civilians and using human shields by building their bases in residential buildings.
They aren't fulfilling any sort of duty.
What about repeating the Truth? Because that's what he's actually doing.
The IDF uses Palestinians as human shields.
There are literal videos of this.
Unfortunately it's not the IDF's job to protect Palestinians. Don't know 'bout Hezollah.
It's the IDF job not to commit war crimes.
So Isrealis are terrorists? We have actual video of them using human shields.
Yes? I've never claimed they aren't bad. The US does it too, along with pretty much every country who goes to war because international law and the rules of war are bullshit.
There are no rules in war other than "win"
This should be fun. Where uh... Where's the US policy on using human shields?
The "everybody does it" argument is complete bullshit, but I'd love to see your evidence that the US routinely and as a matter of standard procedure uses human shields.
Well, it's asymmetrical warfare. It works like that. You want everyone to line up in straight lines across a football field and take turns firing?
I purpose we have all the world's nations choose one competitive video game, and then everyone develops their gaming team, then all potential military disputes are settled by a best of five match of the chosen game.
No wallhax.
Yes it does work like that, and bombing them anyways is the counter.
Would be nice if we had an easier way to solve problems, but it's not realistic.
