The use of human shields argument is another one that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Like, if someone was to take your mother as a "human shield" should you just blast away straight through your mother in order to get the bad guy?

Of course not, it's going to lead to an incredible amount of death and destruction, which is exactly what is going on.

That's of course if we were defining human shields in that conventional way.

However, Israel has done this thing where they have made "Human Shield" just mean "Hamas existed somewhere in the vicinity, we promise, sorry for all the dead bodies."

Using an example that personal is disingenuous as fuck, just saying. Also the circumstances are completely different. I don't think I've ever seen a worse analogy before in my life. You are comparing a scenario in which I actively know that someone is holding my mom hostage, to an active war zone in which Hamas prevents civilians from leaving after Israel warns them to.
