הַמָּגֵן הָאֱנוֹשִׁי…The Human Shields. The use of human shields is forbidden by the Geneva Convention and is considered a war crime as well as a violation of humanitarian law. I pictured Sinwar, hiding in and emerging from the empty bowls, his hand stained with blood. Placing the children alongside as hungry shields with little regard for the people of Gaza. A tragic commentary.
