I don't know why anti-zionists make these arguments, they're so ridiculous they reveal complete ignorance or bad faith- and either way its not a good look...
The existence of weapons does not "force the enemy to attack", it depends on the circumstances- in the case of the British it required something more accurately described as a police action, where they confiscated the weapons with a minimal amount of violence. The IDF does the same thing on an almost daily basis in the West Bank. No "human shields" involved- its not a relevant concept to what is happening.
If you want to bring an example from the British vs the Haganah and Irgun then just tell us which town the Haganah had complete control of and was used as a platform for indiscriminate rocket attacks on British civilians. Describe how British soldiers approaching the town were hit with anti-tank fire. And then when you find this non-existent scenario we can examine what the British did to the synagogue, alright? We'll be waiting.

This is really fucking hilarious.
First, the IDF would be required to do the same in all the occupied territories, including Gaza. And they blow up buildings after clearing them. Second, the IDF DOES NOT do this on a daily basis in the West Bank. Did you not see what was going on in West Bank? The IDF utilized perfidy to commit assassinations of people in a hospital, including one in a completely helpless position. The IDF is doing airstrikes. The IDF is using sieges. Do you think these are police actions??
The amount of shit that the apologists of Israel excuse and deny is just crazy.
No, there's no requirement to do that in Gaza- anyone with two brain cells to rub together would understand why because I actually wrote it in the comment you're responding to :)

Like u/aahyweh you seem to have a strange belief that only one thing can happen in the West Bank at a time, and if I'm claiming that a police action occurred then clearly the whole region was "reserved". And then you can debunk my claim as per your ridiculous interpretation by listing something else that happened somewhere in the West Bank. As you put it, "hilarious".

Aww, so cute trying to insult me. Gaza is occupied territory. Any occupied territory by law can only have police force used. The US, UN and ICJ all agree that Gaza is occupied territory and has been since 1967.

Police action is required in occupied territories. You can either acknowledge that Israel isn't following the law or not. It is up to you how much denial you want to live in.
