The human shield excuse has been used as justification for genocide for a long time. It's been debunked repeatedly by human rights organizations who had boots on the ground.

Again, this is not new stuff. You can read about the decades and decades of conflict. Israel has always targeted civilians. They aren't bombing bakeries, hospitals, and refugee camps to get Hamas. They're civilian targets and it's meant to send a message. Just like the execution of journalists and their families.
