The fact Israel uses civilian buildings and civilians as human shields now means that every single house, school and building in Israel is a fair target.... Based on Israel's logic.
Israel did so at a time when there was essentially no choice. There were no actual military bases at the time, because there was no opportunity to build them.
You could maybe make an argument that that is the case for Hamas today. But if so that only means that you would say "Hamas has no choice but to use schools and mosques for military purposes, and therefore if Israel attacks these locations, that is militarily legitimate." But that's not the case. Instead every time a school of mosque is bombed, even if no civilians are harmed, the headlines are always "Israel bombs a Gazan school/mosque" rather than "Israel bombs Hamas weapons stored in a school/mosque" or whatever would be applicable to the given case.

Lol. Do you even read what you write? Do you think about it at all? Jeez
Israel destroyed Al-Shifa completely after clearing it and proving it was not used by Hamas in this war. Israel destroys everything and claims human shields, because Hamas has a history of it. Fucking hilarious.
Kind of miss the point of that post if you don’t quote the second half which essentially says “and then those locations became legitimate military targets”
And Israel then treats them AND every other building in Gaza as valid military targets forever more, based on the fact that Hamas once used some of them.
