They Aren't Human Shields, They Are Human Sacrifices

You may have heard discussions across media platforms for years about Hamas using their civilians as “human shields.” The term “human shields” describes the strategy of terrorists who place innocent civilians between them and the line of fire to protect themselves or their weapons stashes. The strategy is a win-win for the terrorists because if someone fires on them, “innocent people” die, which creates an international uproar. On the other hand, if Israeli forces abort the mission to prevent the death of “innocents”, the terrorists and their property remain safe. The full truth, however, is actually even more brutal.
