"If you don't want to give the reason *why* you've mentioned...Hamas, that's fair enough." The IDF and Hamas, et al were using the SAME tactic of 'human shields.' This does NOT mean they are "two-sides-of-a-coin thing." However, I can see how a 'projectionist' would see that.

The article is titled: "Israeli high court bans use of 'human shields'" My response was "AWESOME!!! Now, perhaps, Hamas and IJ will follow suit!!!" However, you seem to think it is a good thing that Hamas and IJ will continue this practice. I say it "seems you think" because you won't answer the question, "OR do you think they (terrorist groups) should still continue to use human shields? It is good that Israel is not doing it any longer, but the other side should continue its use?" I, however, think they should "follow suit" even without a court order.

You may see the IDF as a terrorist organization, I do not. However, I am astute enough to see that this particular circumstance is comparable and deplorable, without thinking that both groups (the IDF and terrorist groups) are one in the same.
