Why are there civilian deaths? Because Hamas wants palestinian civilians to die. Why is that? Because they use them as human shields. Human shields are a war crime. Hamas deliberately embeds itself surrounded by palestinian civilians. They based their military headquarters in the basement of a hospital. Why? Because if the Israelis bombed their headquarters, the result would be, you bombed a hospital and you would have literally dead palestinian mothers and dead palestinian infants. (20:36–20:41)
