I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.
One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.
“Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields” is one of the weirdest arguments in existence.
Gaza City is home to nearly 2 million people living in an 88-square-mile expanse, which is about 21,000 people per square mile. Is it “using people as human shields” if your fighters have no unpopulated place to strike from?
Even if we grant that the accusation is true, that doesn’t make it okay to retaliate against innocent civilians. If we all agree that October 7th was bad, I’ve got terrible news for you about the last 70 years of Israeli occupation.
Israel has killed 40,000 innocent civilians. I haven’t checked in a while, this number is surely low. It’s obvious to everyone that “human shields” aren’t effective, so why would Hamas think it was? Almost like this is just a talking point to use as Israel blows up another hospital.
Israel has fired at UN delegations, clearly marked Red Cross/Red Crescent vehicles, Aid NGOs, and Israeli hostages trying to escape under a white flag. Are we really supposed to trust them about “Hamas using human shields” when they shoot everything that moves and claim they were Hamas afterwards?
