There have been a lot of “he said, she said” about the most recent war in Gaza. The one that is the most disturbing is the one about the use of “human shields” as an explanation to account for the increasingly high count of civilian dearths and injuries.
I have looked for some facts on whether this is actually happening or just part of a PR campaign used to lessen international blow back…….and then I came across this article.
Israel-Gaza conflict: The myth of Hamas’s human shields.
It appears that Israel is continuing its run from victim to monster……..and if the Old Testament is to be believed then this is what Israelis do……..GENOCIDE!
Sengupta nails it in his first line:
“Israel blames Gaza death toll on Palestinians for deliberately putting people in line of fire. But can strikes ever be targeted to minimise civilian casualties in such a densely populated area?”
The Gaza strip is the most densely populated area in the entire world.
Yep, 1.7 million in a strip of land about 25 miles long….like shooting ducks in a barrel….
