Using human shields implies that you don't have many years of evidence that said shields won't be shot straight through. The IDF doesn't even let Israeli hostages slow their butchering, much less any Palestinian. Anyone still saying the "human shields" bullshit to defend carpet bombing is deranged and probably not worth your time.
