Shifa hospital workers just became VOLUNTARY human shields for Hamas. Does that make them legitimate targets?

Voluntary shields are militarized civilian weaponry and, as such, no special precautions should be taken to avoid destroying that piece of enemy “equipment”

[21twelve]

There was an article by a Palestinian that said that Hamas must be destroyed. They use fear to rule Gaza. If you don't support (or at least show support) for Hamas they kill you. I suppose it might be similar to North Korea?

The people cheering the dead hostages might be similar to the Norks making a big show of crying and beating themselves when “Dear Leader” dies.

Israel needs to do it like Cortez defeated the Azteks, and get the locals to help.

More pancakes to keep Rachel Corrie company at the great Gaza IHOP in the sky....

Meaning, they are saying that even if Israel tells them to leave in order to attack the Hamas targets in the lower levels, they are saying that they would prefer to be human shields for Hamas. Does this change their civilian status under international law?

Yes. If they are counting on Israel not bombing them because there are civilians there who refuse to leave after having been given LOTS of warning, that's on them then. Their choice to die for Hamas.

[metmom]

Other scholars say that the voluntary nature of their human shielding can affect the attacker's calculation of proportionality. In other words, the attacker must ensure that the civilian cost is proportional to the military benefit gained by the attack,

What a load of crap.

It's not the responsibility of the attacker to make sure the numbers balance if people decide to stay in a war zone.

[spincaster]

The short answer is yes.

What are the odds that the 75 to 80 percent of Paleostinians that support jihad ops against Jews and Israel, are unwilling human shields?

I have a message for Israel: TURN GAZA INTO A DESERT WASTELAND!

[trebb]

Just look at it as suicide by cop.....I wonder how many of them are also “Gay” - seems like “Queers for Palestine” is also a suicidal group...

[GOPJ]

A forced evacuation of the hospital is the solution.

Medivac the most critical patients to an Israeli hospital - triage those left with the least care group going to military field hospitals.

Then take out the Hamas center under the hospital for all time. Bring patients back to hospital...

Sounds logical

BlueLancer, I did not know that.

It makes sense, though.

[gitmo]

They need to give them at least a one hour warning before blowing the building to Smithereens.

That one-hour warning should be after they blow the building to Smithereens.

The question answered itself.

“And not one word from The Hague since this started, even with video evidence of war crimes.”

Because down deep the morons in The Hague are rational creatures, sensibly fearful of being liquidated by the ragheads.

[Salvavida]

Because it is International law, regardless if they are signatories. It applies to everyone.

[Conservat1]

It’s like suicide bombing maybe?
