    That completely contradicts your original point, that “If they realize that human shields aren’t working, they won’t use them”

        Well fuck I just responded from my inbox. Whatever.

        So you think Israel is too stupid to realize how bad this makes them look and they are playing right into Hamas’s hands?

          Israel is trying to rescue 240 hostages. I don’t think they care a whole lot about what most of the world thinks

            They certainly don’t care about how many thousands of Palestinian civilians “have” to die to free those hostages

              Actually, no. They don’t care how many hostages have to die to destroy Palestinian infrastructure, and displace Palestinians.

              They have been trying to make a Hamas in the West bank for forever now, and they’d do anything to make one. They would love for a militia to form in the West bank, go right in, take hostages and kill civilians. Next thing you’d hear is people on the internet calling for the displacement of the entire population of the West bank for supporting the militia.

          No, I think they don’t really care and won’t until they get support pulled by the US. And given the US is negotiating a ceasefire, and civilian casualties have gone down the last week, the US may have threatened just that.

          Well fuck I just responded from my inbox. Whatever.

          So fast and loose, what if you had created casualties with your mistake?
