      It is well established that Hamas is using civilian areas and infrastructure

      Established by whom?

      Can you tell me why Hamas gets carte blanche but others such as Ukraine are criticized in similar circumstances?

      On what planet has Hamas received carte blanche? Gaza is currently being carpet bombed. This is exactly what Russia did to Kyiv in the opening days of the war, and it seems clear that Israel and Russia are running identical playbooks. Mass murder of the population as a form of ethnic cleansing is now the standard military doctrine of encroaching powers.

      Ukraine isn’t an open air concentration camp governed in large part by Israeli blockade and airstrike and has been for thirty fuckin years dudes. Not quite the same situation is it?

          I’m saying a population that cannot escape and cannot leave for fear of not being able to return to their homes are in fact human shields. Hamas is certainly taking advantage like any other country would and in fact have done. What you’re ignoring is that Israel is the one creating the perverse incentive to use civilians to hide.

          Yes, the Egyptian border Israel bombed.

          200k have to work for Israel because there aren’t enough jobs in Palestine because Israel bombs businesses claiming they’re Hamas.

          It’s an open air prison bud. Fun question, can a Palestinian exit gaza without an id.
