      The practice is said to be so routine that Israeli soldiers have a name for the human shields, who are referred to as shawish – informal slang for a low-ranking soldier – and the process was described by several witnesses.

      Palestinian civilians, mostly young men, are picked up by Israeli soldiers, dressed in Israeli army uniforms, then sent into tunnels and damaged houses ahead of Israeli forces, soldiers told Haaretz and Breaking the Silence.

      Their hands are tied together and a camera is attached to their bodies as they go in.

      Holy fuck that’s disgusting

        Please give us a rundown of when human shields are okay and not okay. Let me guess, it depends who is using them, but in a roundabout way?

          It’s pretty effective when your attacker doesn’t want to harm innocents at any cost, at least. But most organizations going to war don’t care enough.

          Bruh… Hamas put these traps in the middle of their “citizens”, do you think IDF forced them to do this tactic?

        Ah so using human shields is OK all of a sudden? What about the second example? Don’t worry, I can find more if you like

            I’m confused why you were so outraged by the use of human shields at first and now when I send examples you all of a sudden don’t seem to care. You didn’t even mention the second example yet.

              Lol ironic considering you have to be a limp dick to excuse Hamas terrorism on their own “civilians”…

              This doesnt surprise me at all, Hamas fanboys are like ISIS zealots, frustrated looser who believe they will get the opportunity to use their limp dick in heaven with virgins once they die as “martyr”… Lol pathetic…

              Feels great to know they constantly get sent to oblivion, like knowing how frustrated and huge looser people defending them are… So keep going, this is so enjoyable…

            If your country has been under siege for fifteen years and is currently being invaded, I’d say you’re allowed to put booby traps in the places the invaders are likely to go.
