On NewsNation’s “Cuomo” present on Friday, Harvard legislation professor Alan Dershowitz stated that Hamas has a technique of utilizing civilians as shields and having folks blame Israel for civilian casualties, and that Hamas is definitely guilty in the identical manner he blames Israel. It accommodates the felony who was used as a hostage. As a human defend he can be responsible of homicide if his hostage was killed by police who had been attempting to shoot the suspect.

“Hamas has a plan,” Dershowitz stated. The plan has been occurring for 20 years. You kill lots of Israelis, and you realize that Israel should take revenge and attempt to attain the leaders and missiles, and place your missiles and leaders among the many civilians, then Israel takes revenge, and a few civilians die, then the Palestinians sarcastically parade the lifeless youngsters in entrance of the tv cameras. The world is indignant with Israel as a result of the folks They take a look at the photographs they usually do not say to themselves, Oh my God, the rationale these youngsters died is as a result of they had been used as human shields. They do not suppose rationally. If I take you as a human defend If I am robbing a financial institution, and the police attempt to shoot me, however as an alternative I kill you, I am responsible of homicide, not the cop who shot you. The identical applies to Hamas. “They’re not less than partly chargeable for many civilian deaths.”
