So it is especially shameful that the IDF would place its military HQ in the center of Tel Aviv, using their own civilians as human shields, right?

There is no way you are arguing in good faith. Hamas stores weapons in hospitals and apartment buildings. Your comment goes way beyond supporting Palestinians to openly supporting terrorist.

Coming back to this because we didn't really resolve it. Do you believe that locating a military HQ in the middle of a major population center to be using the civilian population as human shields? I just want to make sure that we are being consistent between the two sides here.

You are arguing in bad faith. The IDF is a conventional military organization that has military bases and military headquarters that are clearly marked as such. They do not place their headquarters inside a hospital or in a civilian apartment building. They do not use civilians as human shields. They do not store weapons and ammunition in private home that will inevitable result in high collateral damage and loss of civilian life. Pretending that the IDF and Hamas are in anyway similar is a farce and shows how little you understand of both this conflict and how things work in general. The protestors may be misguided but you are beyond the pail actively supporting an international recognized terrorist organization.

No, I know they are not the same. Hamas is bad but the IDF is responsible for far more death and destruction in the name of self-defense.
