AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

After the horrific attack, killing, and hostage taking of Jews in Israel by Hamas, and from the day war on the Palestinians began, any discussion of the war crimes committed by Israel and the collective punishment of men, women and children, was met with the argument that that they are all used as "human shield" as if it is a thing on its own. Do those living in Israel and also some Jews in the diaspora, not feel the same shock and sadness at the suffering of the people, chased here and there away from their homes, made to starve, die, their children orphaned, bleeding or burning to death? Is it the daily indoctrination of "they hate us" that has made them so inured to suffering that they do not see them as human anymore?
If this question is offensive I apologize, but my intention is to only understand.
