Fighting in America doesn't equal "using civilians as shields"

Neither does fighting is Palestine equal "using civilians as shields".

Why? Were the American revolutionaries using civilians as shields?

Point to one large scale example of this, or at least two clear but very small cases. You probably can't even point to one case. If it happened at all it was not the norm.

My point was fighting in a city will lead to civilian casualties......it can not be avoided. If you saw the photo of the bombed out Hamas headquarters, it was separated from the residential bldgs by open areas........hardly using the residential bldgs as human shields. Israel was attacking Hamas leaders at nite when they were in their homes. Of course, civilians are going to die if you bomb someone's home.

All this using "civilians as human shields" is just Israeli and neo crap to justify mass murder. How does it feel to support a bully and a mass murderer, Tim?
