These powerful images, spread by the Israeli military through social media, attempt to transform the very presence of civilians as suspect in the areas it bombards, regardless of the fact that the areas it bombs are urban centres. The crux of the matter is that in the context of contemporary asymmetric warfare, the weak do not have many options. When there are no bomb shelters, people remain at home during extensive bombardment. And if, like in the case of the Palestinians in Gaza, fleeing is not an option - because all exits from the strip have been closed, or because the neighbours house is under the exact same threat as ones own, or because one is already a refugee and does not want to become a refugee anew - staying put, which the high-tech states term illegal human shields, constitutes a form of resistance. #StoptheGenocide #FreeGaza #FreePalestine #IStandWithPalestine.
