Reply #11: Why mention them?

[Behind the Aegis]

I said, "perhaps they will follow suit." The only person trying to make a connection between the IDF and terrorist groups is you, but this is not a surprising revelation, just projection. OR do you think they (terrorist groups) should still continue to use human shields? It is good that Israel is not doing it any longer, but the other side should continue its use?

The only similarity is that both sides have used "human shields." Is this the connection you are talking about? Then yes, since the IDF has stopped, so should the terrorist groups. One side can no longer do this. Why is it wrong to wish the other side will follow suit?
