🥀 With the death toll in Gaza reaching 40,000, excluslding thousands of missing whose fate is unknown, the Israeli army spox claims that they killed 17,000 fighters in Gaza.

Based on this alleged claim, that's 23,000 civilian (men, women, and children) murdered by the Jewish state in their criminal campaign in Gaza.

And as you'd expect, Israeli reporters are saying this is a very good ratio of combatants to civilians, because the U.S. had a much worse ratio in Iraq and Syria vs ISIS.

The U.S. model of war isn't the model to judge yourself upon, especially in Iraq and Syria. But at the end of the day, the west (and east) has no moral ground higher than Israel's

Both criminal governments, with criminal professional armies.

Israeli forces in Gaza ‘use civilians as human shields’ against possible booby-traps

Israeli soldiers are using Palestinian civilians as human shields in Gaza to enter and clear tunnels and buildings they suspect may have been booby-trapped, a leading Israeli NGO and newspaper have reported.

The practice was so widespread across different units fighting in Gaza that it could in effect be considered a “protocol”, said Nadav Weiman, the executive director of Breaking the Silence, a group founded by Israeli combat veterans to document military abuses.

The group has collected testimony describing the practice from veterans of the 10-month war in Gaza. The accounts they have heard match those reported in an investigation by the newspaper Haaretz, which claimed that the chief of staff’s office was aware of the practice.
“The senior ranks know about it,” one source said to have taken part in finding civilians to serve as human shields told the paper. “Our lives are more important than their lives,” Haaretz quoted commanders telling their soldiers.

The practice is said to be so routine that Israeli soldiers have a name for the human shields, who are referred to as shawish – informal slang for a low-ranking soldier – and the process was described by several witnesses.

Palestinian civilians, mostly young men, are picked up by Israeli soldiers, dressed in Israeli army uniforms, then sent into tunnels and damaged houses ahead of Israeli forces.

"One soldier had been told Palestinian civilians were being used to replace the dog units that search for explosives 'because too many dogs had died'."
