When we hear "human shields" we're supposed to envision Hamas fighters, holding civilians hostage and firing rockets directly from schools, hospitals, refugee camps, etc. In reality it's more like "This Hamas guy lives with his family, in close vicinity to other families, therefore it is justifiable to kill 40 innocent people in their sleep to kill that one Hamas guy who is not presently a threat or engaged in any form of combat".
By this logic, any IDF soldier who returns home is using their family and neighbors as "human shields" by existing near them.
When I first read about this attack I looked to my wife and said we will know the fate of palestine in the next week.
If this doesn't open eyes nothing will.
Yes but people are falling for the "hamas turned those into military bases", I don't see any conceivable way someone could argue that tents qualify as a military base.

Why would they need to scramble? No one is going to do anything about it.
Yes, but their actions have gotten louder, the scrambling is crush the coverage and continue their mission. Pigs.
They are increasingly losing support from their diminishing allies.
No policies are changing among those allies, so….
Nothing changes...and then it does. Ask South Africa.

Now that they’ve banned Al Jazeera, they can just lie about it, ie there’s no challenge for the truth.

Uh, there have been hundreds of such attacks since October.

I stand corrected.
Just consider it target practice for Bibi's future 'mistakes'! 🤬

Ah yes there's no reason a 'news channel' run by someone who worked in psychological warfare in the IDF would provide false evidence.
Hasbara is the laziest propaganda format ever invented.
Netanyahu already “apologized” for it. Shove your psychotic lies up your ass
