'A Full-Fledged War Crime': Israel Condemned Over New Human Shield Footage
"These crimes, and dozens of similar cases, require urgent intervention from the international justice system," said one human rights group.
And for anyone that has been following this conflict for more than just half a year, this isn't new. Israel has been doing this for decades now. It's fairly normal practice for them.
Oh look more Credible Evidence of war crimes. And we're just going to ignore it like everything else.
IDF: Hamas is terrible; they use human shields!
also IDF:
For those that haven't seen it yet, here's the newest Aljazeera video with hard video evidence of israel using Human Shields in Gaza. Even dressing them up as IDF soldiers and forcing them to clear buidlings
I first started following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict twelve years ago and the IDF were using Palestinians as human shields back then (and I believe well before then). While this is nothing new, seeing video evidence of it is so jarring, horrifying, and indefensible it has left me feeling shaken and infuriated at the wanton disregard for human life and international law.
Do you know of any version with English subs?
Someone posted this below it looks accurate.
I just used closed capation auto translate on the YouTube video.
Another day, another disgusting thing done by Israel. And another day other countries governments just don't seem to give a shit. What the fuck.
What can other countries do? Invade? The US bullies Nato into compliance, the rest of the world can only sit there and be appalled.
"full-fledged", unlike all the many, many, other only partially-fledged war crimes /s
Geneva suggestion misinterpretations
Yepp - condemnation it is!
I found the first part where the guy was digging in the rubble, then later searching the tunnel to be inconclusive. I couldn't tell who or what was going on.
However, the second part, where the guy is handcuffed in his underwear, surrounded by soldiers, then later on it looks like the same guy being herded through a building... that doesn't look good. Someone below mentioned a possible prisoner swap. I don't think prisoner swaps are handled like that.
"The most moral army in the world"
Almost as moral as the fullest void is full
I swear, if they accuse us of antisemitism for criticizing this move for the umpteenth time, I will checkmate them by saying that real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.
Why is it so easy to excuse Israel for this disgusting thing they're doing?
real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.
I really wish that were true. I’m a Jew, and I am fully against this genocide and Israel’s hypocrisy in general, but Israel is full of real Jews who absolutely encourage this behavior. It’s sad, demoralizing, and shameful, especially for us “normal” Jews who see it for the evil that it is, but I’m not sure enough of the world realizes how normalized this kind of violence is in Israel. I’ve spent a lot of time there, and the vapid, bloodthirsty hatred for Palestinians is absolutely real, and many many more Jews than you or I would like to believe support these atrocities.
I’m a descendant of Holocaust survivors, with a sizable contingent of family that escaped Europe to Israel, and I frankly won’t be talking to any of them ever again now that I know they happily support genocide.
What proves this footage is really what the article claims it to be? It's a very specific explanation for what appears quite vague.
I just don't want to go sharing something we cannot actually verify as true. There's a lot of other stuff mentioned in the article a lot of which we know to be true, but that isn't proof of this claim.
So you're volunteering to go looking for explosives without drones, weapons, or any other equipment normally given to EOD soldiers? The idea that this footage is normal is ridiculous to anyone whose spent even a second in a western military.
What exactly is vague about being naked (mostly) with hands tied behind their back while walking through a building? What explanation do you have for such an event?
Something like this could easily be a simple prisoner transfer. This is one idea.
In general, we don't know the where, the why, or the who. Movies have worse scenes than this. Nothing is beyond fabrication. Why were they filming and who posted the video? There are myriad possibilities.
There are already many clear-cut reasons to be critical of Israel, but it should still matter what is actually fact and what is fiction, shouldn't it?
