Original Note:
Hamas using Gazan civilians as human shields with schools, mosques, hospitals and homes used as military bases to fire weapons are well attested. Calling for attacking anywhere used for military purposes is a legitimate and legal war aim. This is clearly not "genocide". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_human_shields_by_Hamas https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/in-interrogation-ex-hamas-operative-says-group-uses-gaza-civilians-as-human-shields/ar-AA1mkz7v https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2021/06/23/hold-hamas-accountable-for-human-shields-use-during-the-may-2021-gaza-war/ https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/genocide
