They use their own civilian population as human shields

Are they even civilians? Like 90+% of Israeli adults are current or former military, and the settlements are heavily armed.

Their entire population goes through a military training program and then after their official military service is over those soldiers are sent to steal land with no oversight.

    I would say that you're a civilian if you aren't currently serving in the military, regardless of former military service. That's at least how it works under international law.
