The obvious response is that Gaza is a very densely populated place, of course there's civilians near any given location, that's not a conspiracy by Hamas. But are there any other talking points I should hit?

(I'm not really a lib in rehab, but this seems like the comm for getting talking points straight)

I looked at some the photos of reports like this, and it’s usually just a bunch of kids crowding a fighter while he’s shooting at the IDF. Like yeah, the kids should probably be told to fuck off, but that’s not exactly the same as attaching a baby to your vest and going on a rampage

You're taking the phrase "human shield" a bit literally....

"LibRehab" is a place to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way). It is also a place to proactively destroy your liberalism before it becomes counterrevolutionary.

Posts here should be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgmental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.
