If Rocket and Mortar attacks originating from Egypt and Gaza are impact settlements that have been constructed on contested land in an 'active war' zone, isn't that the same situation as the Palestinians?
Shouldn't we be saying Israel is using human shields by providing an environment which entices settlement building?
Isn't that the same standard? If you don't want to get hit by rockets, don't live in occupied territory?

Are you even serious? Not even close to the same thing.
A. Israel isn't launching rockets from beside or on top of schools, hospitals, and playgrounds with the knowledge that the enemy will strike back at those launchers.
B. Israel doesn't set up military operations within hospitals.
C. Israel isn't encouraging those same settlers to stay put knowing an attack is eminent.
Israel isn't a saint but saying they are using human shields to the extent that's happening in Gaza is absurd. Makes me question you're motives.
