I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.

One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

    I don’t see the hypocrisy you’re accusing me of here, but I’m more than happy to clear up any potential confusion. I’ve interacted with you here before, and I know that - unlike OP - you’re capable of debating in good faith. So if you genuinely see any logical errors in my reasoning or behavior that you think are worth criticizing, I’m open to hearing it.

      Refer to this discussion FelixCress linked.

      Up to your top comment (“I’m not sure “human shield” is the correct term here.” […]), you could say that you were just arguing semantics. However, your replies to leftytighty and Keeponstalin show otherwise:

      • even after being shown (by Keeponstalin) that the definition of human shield fits the content of the article to a T, you kept arguing that it does not apply
      • insistent shift of the focus on Hamas’ actions
      • leftytighty’s point in “try reading news about the IDF” is clear (implying usage of human shields is the common modus operandi of the IDF, so the article exemplifying it is not surprising). Your answer to that was basically a Reddit style sealion.

      What you said is, effectively, a defence of the IDF, by denying that that specific event counts as a specific war crime, and insistent (~twice) shift of the focus to Hamas’ actions. Even if you say “I’m not defending IDF”. It does give people good grounds to call you a fascist, so your comment in the other thread is hypocrisy.
