    I love this comment. Someone asking for proof that your claim is true, and instead you say they need to provide proof of what not having proof would prove. What? Israel is making the claim Hamas was there. The burden of proof is on them. If they can not prove it, then it’s a war crime.

    Regardless, Gaza is one of the most populated regions in the world. There isn’t a place without civilians, and they aren’t allowed outside of their open-air prison. They literally can not be any significant distance away from civilians. The “they’re using civilians as human shields” excuse doesn’t work when you force civilians to stand next to them when you drop exosives on both of them. Also, Israel has been literally using civilians as human shields, walking behind them as they force them to walk ahead.
