    The idea of people being human shields in their own homes is genocidal bullshit used to justify killing them.

    So how do you call it if hamas is building their bases of operation in civilian buildings or launch their rockets from schools and hospitals exactly because they KNOW it’s impossible to target them there without also hitting civilians?

    Why is egypt not accepting refugees? Because they know that a big part of the palestinians are actually supporting hamas and are not just victims here and they don’t want to deal with the risk of those people radicalizing themselves further within Egypt and having to deal with that.

    And as for the dehumanizing part: which party did deliberately chose to deliberately attack civilians and not “just” accepted them as collateral damage? Sure the latter is also horrible and should be kept to an absolute minimum but the first is absolutely indefensible. There’s a reason why at every other pro-palestine rally right now there are people shouting to exterminate all the jews and why jews are scared wearing their kippah again: this whole thing is not just about standing with civilians in gaza but actually coming from an anti-semitic point a lot of the time.
