Comments by "" (@arturferrao7353) on "The most cowardly way of fighting: Israel's attack on Gaza hospitals, with Jon Elmer" video.
Reality: In interviews with Gazan refugees, reporters for The Independent and The Guardian concluded it was a "myth" that Hamas forced civilians to stay in areas under attack against their will; many refugees told them they refused to heed the IDF's warnings because even areas Israel had declared safe for refugees had been shelled by its forces.[72][73] The BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen also said he "saw no evidence of Hamas using Palestinians as human shields".[74] An Amnesty International document (dated 25 July 2014) asserts that they do "not have evidence at this point that Palestinian civilians have been intentionally used by Hamas or Palestinian armed groups during the current hostilities to 'shield' specific locations or military personnel or equipment from Israeli attacks".[75] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Human shield

And: An IDF soldier's testimony for Breaking the Silence told that his commander ordered that for every house raided by the IDF, they send a "neighbor" to go in before the soldier, sometimes while the soldier placed his gun on the neighbor's shoulder;[130] according to the soldier, "commanders said these were the instructions and we had to do it".[130] Gazan civilians also testified of being used at gunpoint as human shields by Israeli soldiers.[131] An Israeli military official responded to these allegations: "The IDF operated in accordance with the rules of war and did the utmost to minimize harm to civilians uninvolved in combat. The IDF's use of weapons conforms to international law." An Israeli embassy spokesperson alleged Hamas pressured the people of Gaza into making those accusations.[129] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Human shield

And: According to human rights groups Amnesty International[108] and Human Rights Watch,[109] the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin. The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem said that "for a long period of time following the outbreak of the Second Intifada, particularly during Operation Defensive Shield, in April 2002, the IDF systematically used Palestinian civilians as human shields, forcing them to carry out military actions which threatened their lives".[110][111] Al Mezan reported the systematic use of human shields during the invasion of Beit Hanoun in 2004.[112] Human shields were also employed by Israeli soldiers to subdue a stone-throwing protest in Hebron in 2003.[113] Source: Wiki-Pedia -> Human shield

@wyattbillingsley6844 "No shortage of propaganda to go around. " Yes, I know. I read your posts. "Don't trust Wikipedia for your education. " And yes, we know that whoever defends genociders hate sources. "I actually lived there for 4 years." This ithe testimony of someone who live there her own life: Furthermore, during a lengthy interview on Israel's Channel 12, Porat speaks of intense gunfire after Israeli forces arrived and elaborates that, although the resistance fighters were heavily armed, she never saw them shoot captives or threaten them with their guns. She also highlights that the Israeli army announced their arrival at the settlement “with a hail of gunfire,” catching the resistance fighters and their captives by surprise.
