    This is circular. That’s not what their investigation found. Am I to take the opinion of kromem on Lemmy, or Amnesty International? Sorry, I’m gonna take the opinion of Amnesty every time.

      Then you might want to actually read the whole thing and not only the parts you mistakenly think agree with you.

        I did read the whole thing. I agree Hamas has committed multiple war crimes,

        But they do not necessarily amount to the specific violation of using “human shields” under international humanitarian law, which entails “using the presence (or movements) of civilians or other protected persons to render certain points or areas (or military forces) immune from military operations.”

        Just because you don’t like their findings doesn’t make their findings mistaken. You lost, you’ll get over it.

          using the presence of civilians or other protected persons to render certain points or areas immune from military operations

          Exactly. Read it again.

          Now tell me how using an inhabited hospital as a military base and to launch attacks from doesn’t meet that criteria?

          Or how taking hostages and co-locating them with military operations doesn’t.
