I don't know Arabic, but I do know the culture, and it is obvious the video is misinterpreting it. Its like how any Arab who wants to give his life for a cause becomes a lover of death and wants 72 virgins, but a soldier doing the same is sacrificing his life for his country and gets a purple medal.
Its like taking a German back in WW2 seeing Churchill's famous line "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." putting it on Youtube, and posting it saying, "See! These guys love blood and tears!"
Obviously, the what the video is saying is that they are a brave people and everyone in the city is brave and they will all defend their hometown. The problem with a term like "human shield" is that allows the attacker to do anything it wants and excuse its action by that idea alone. To get to the target, he has to go through the shield, and if the shield is human, then he can't be blamed, right? It is something that can used in any war. If Hamas has to resist the attack, they are forced to resist it in any way they can. The only way any group defends its land s by being in that land.
If Tel Aviv is ever attacked, don't you think the IDF would be defending it from Tel Aviv? Should every death and destruction be excused because the IDF is in Tel Aviv?
In any war, millions of people would escape the war by moving away to other lands. The difference is that in this war, the lands are all blocked, so the people are stuck.
I am disgusted by the "human shield" excuse. Think of any war, and the aggressor could have used it.
