    I don’t understand how it can be a “human shield”. Why doesn’t the other truck have a person attached? Why is he positioned in a way that protects very little? Why would they take their human shield to a hospital for treatment?

    And, conversely, why are you guys using razor precision on this one incident when Hamas literally, and exclusively, uses human shields and actually targets civilians.

    Please don’t just say some dumb crap about “hurr it’s never good for any side to do this” - please entertain the questions or don’t even bother. Your side is as morally bankrupt as it is misinformed. If you feel like downloading I’d appreciate a comment as well.

      He is positioned the way he is due to the “slatted” design of the humvee grill. Because of that, you’d either have to have them down there or up on the actual hood. You don’t want a human shield squirming on the hood because the humvee sight lines are already bad so if you were the kind of war criminal that’s also practical, this would be where you would put them.

      The rest of your questions are horrific. This one is too, but at least there’s an answer.

        So everything I’m reading/seeing says there’s some facts on this matter:

        1. The IDF said this was a suspected militant injured in a firefight
        2. The IDF gave this person to the Red Crescent
        3. Israel said they’re "looking into this matter and will deal with this accordingly

        The speculation is that they were using him as a human shield. I, and everyone else for that matter, don’t know this for absolute certainty. We can both agree that this is a rather crude way of transporting an injured person at best or a deliberate war crime at worst. Your opinion about the placement is mere speculation and kind of stupid if I’m being honest.

        I’ll be back later to edit this comment when more facts come out and they charge (or not) this individual(s) with war crimes. I wish I could say the same about the other side and the people that support them.

          Every time the facts come out, it’s worse than the reality.

          Everyone on the genoside jumped on the mutilated babies thing without a shred of proof with nary a comment when it was shown to be utter bullshit, but apparently an actual video showing a war crime doesn’t constitute facts in some people’s heads.

            Let’s be real the only side that’s concerned about facts is Israel. There are people that make stupid claims and then are corrected oftentimes by Israel themselves. This is absolutely not true for Hams or any other militant group.

            Please explain to me how this video is proof it’s a war crime. Please provide the case document that explicitly states this IDFs intent. Why can’t you just wait for more information instead of doing this dumb dance every time?
