The European Union on Sunday condemned Hamas for using "hospitals and civilians as human shields" in Gaza, while also urging Israel to show "maximum restraint" to protect civilians.
But there has to be a limit, I’m not saying Israel is right but if I write the word hospital on a tank and drive it into battle then that hospital is going to get bombed, it’s possible that they’ll wait until I’ve fired a shot if I’m fighting an especially restrained army.
So since there obviously is a line so we need to think about where it is in a realistic and sensible sense.
“don’t bomb hospitals.”
-OK, champ, then what should they do?
“Send in the special forces.”
-That will lead to more casualties on the Israeli side.
“Send in the specialer forces.”

Oh no, not casualties! In a war?!? Whatever will we do!
War crimes of expediency are still war crimes. Just ask the Nazis we hung at Nuremberg for their occupation tactics.
