    Hamas likes it when Israel kills Palestinian citizens, because it make Israel justifiably look bad. Hamas wants to get other countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran involved in the war, and dead Palestinian civilians helps that goal.

      That completely contradicts your original point, that “If they realize that human shields aren’t working, they won’t use them”

          Well fuck I just responded from my inbox. Whatever.

          So you think Israel is too stupid to realize how bad this makes them look and they are playing right into Hamas’s hands?

            So fast and loose, what if you had created casualties with your mistake?

            No, I think they don’t really care and won’t until they get support pulled by the US. And given the US is negotiating a ceasefire, and civilian casualties have gone down the last week, the US may have threatened just that.
