Shapiro highlighted the fact\u2063 that Hamas hides military targets among civilians, ultimately leading to Palestinian deaths. His remarks quickly\u2062 gained traction on social\u200c media.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro emphasized that civilian casualties are \u200can\u2064 unfortunate reality of\u200d war, citing examples from World War \u2062II.\u200d However, \u2062he made a clear\u2064 distinction between Israel&#8217;s actions and those of\u200d Hamas, stating that\u200c deliberately\u2064 targeting civilians is morally reprehensible.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cactivist claimed that Israel&#8217;s actions were unjust, pointing to \u2062the high number \u2062of Palestinian deaths. However, Shapiro questioned \u2062the validity of\u200c the\u2064 figures provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, \u2063which is controlled \u2064by Hamas. He\u2062 also highlighted \u200cthe\u2062 use\u200b of civilians as shields,\u200d which violates the Geneva Conventions.<\/p>\n<p>When the activist argued that the disparity in deaths\u200d showed Israel&#8217;s unjust war, \u200cShapiro countered\u200b by \u2062comparing it to World\u2063 War II, where \u2063more Germans died than Britons. He also corrected the \u2063activist&#8217;s\u2063 claim\u200c that Britain \u2062didn&#8217;t bomb civilians, \u200dpointing out the strategic targeting of\u2063 population centers.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro concluded\u2063 by emphasizing that Israel does not intentionally\u200c target civilians, while Palestinian terrorists do. He highlighted the\u2063 potential consequences of Israel disarming and reiterated the need \u2062for a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n<p>The engagement ended with \u2064Shapiro \u2064questioning the \u2063activist\u2063 about the occupation of Palestine, to which she responded that \u2064the entirety of Palestine is occupied.\u200d Shapiro criticized her \u2063response, accusing her \u2063of expressing genocidal intent towards the \u2063Jewish\u200c people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Epic exchange \u200bbetween <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@benshapiro<\/a> and an\u200d anti-Israel activist at Oxford University \u200dtoday.

He argued that\u200d Hamas deliberately places rocket\u200c launchers and military equipment in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/it-begins-israel-calls-up-thousands-of-troops-positions-heavy-machinery-for-ground-offensive\/\" title=\"IT BEGINS: Israel Calls Up Thousands Of Troops, Positions Heavy Machinery For Ground Offensive\">densely populated areas<\/a>, using \u200ccivilians\u2062 as\u200c human shields. This tactic forces Israel to\u2063 choose between allowing\u200b attacks on its \u2063citizens or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bob-woodward-says-milleys-china-call-was-made-in-the-interest-of-protecting-the-country\/\" title=\"Bob Woodward Says Milley\u2019s China Call Was Made \u2018In The Interest Of Protecting The Country\u2019\">taking military action<\/a> that may unintentionally harm innocent Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s response to\u2063 the activist&#8217;s criticism of Israel centered on the concept of proportionality in warfare. He\u2062 explained that Israel, as a sovereign state, has the\u2064 right to defend itself against terrorist organizations\u2062 like Hamas.\u200b In\u200b doing so, it must take into account the threat posed\u2063 by \u200dthese organizations and act in\u2063 a manner that protects its citizens from harm. Shapiro pointed \u200bout that Israel utilizes sophisticated\u2062 defense\u200c systems, such as the Iron Dome, to intercept \u200band\u200d neutralize\u200d incoming\u200d rockets from\u2063 Gaza. This technology has saved countless lives on\u2063 both sides of the \u2062conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u2063 Shapiro criticized the media&#8217;s coverage of the conflict, stating that they \u2062often fail to provide adequate context for\u200c Israel&#8217;s\u2063 actions. He argued \u200bthat this lack of context leads to a skewed perception of the situation and unfairly portrays Israel as\u200b an aggressor.\u200d Shapiro called\u2062 for a fair and balanced examination\u2064 of the conflict, urging observers to consider both the actions of Hamas and Israel in a comprehensive manner.<\/p>\n<p>The response \u200cfrom the audience at the \u200cUniversity of Oxford was mixed. While some applauded Shapiro&#8217;s articulate and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/moral-equivalency-is-nonsense-jeremy-boreing-shreds-piers-morgan-guests-attacks-on-ben-shapiro\/\" title=\"Jeremy Boreing dismisses Piers Morgan guest's criticism of Ben Shapiro as moral equivalency nonsense.\">fact-based argument<\/a>, others criticized him for his \u2063controversial views and perceived support\u2064 of Israeli policies. \u2064Regardless of the reaction, it is undeniable that Shapiro&#8217;s remarks sparked a\u2063 meaningful debate on the \u200ccomplexities of the \u2064Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s visit to Oxford University and his subsequent response to the activist demonstrated his commitment to engaging\u200b in challenging discussions and \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-israel-activist-parrots-hamas-propaganda-at-oxford-ben-shapiro-shreds-her-arguments\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro dismantles anti-Israel activist's Hamas propaganda at Oxford.\">tackling contentious\u2062 topics head-<\/a>on.
