    I did read the whole thing. I agree Hamas has committed multiple war crimes,

    But they do not necessarily amount to the specific violation of using “human shields” under international humanitarian law, which entails “using the presence (or movements) of civilians or other protected persons to render certain points or areas (or military forces) immune from military operations.”

    Just because you don’t like their findings doesn’t make their findings mistaken. You lost, you’ll get over it.

      using the presence of civilians or other protected persons to render certain points or areas immune from military operations

      Exactly. Read it again.

      Now tell me how using an inhabited hospital as a military base and to launch attacks from doesn’t meet that criteria?

      Or how taking hostages and co-locating them with military operations doesn’t.
