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.

      My understanding is that the correct interpretation of that is you’re not allowed to, for example, strike military targets with missiles if there are civilians around. If one then doesn’t fight fair, they can abuse this by intentionally placing military infrastructure near civilian buildings - even schools and hospitals - knowing that this will, at least to some extent, deter the enemy from striking. In other words, using civilians as human shields.

      In my view, what’s being described here is a violation of Part 4, Article 147: “compelling a protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile Power” - which, let’s not forget, is equally evil and indefensible.
