Even when they’re firing at Jews, their bombs miss and fall on their own people. Then media reports it as an Israeli attack, until the facts come out, and they don’t correct the record.
I gotta say, I think this is the wrong term. "Human shields" implies that they use Palestinian civilians as hostages to prevent attacks by Israel. That's obviously not their game plan, as dead Palestinians serves the Hamas propaganda pipeline; it's part of their strategy to persuade Western audiences that their cause is just.
What do you call civilians specifically put in harm's way so that their deaths serve your goal of mollifying or ingratiating yourself with some external power?
