Oh look, another war crime. How many is that now?
A war crime occurred when Hamas put a military installation in a civilian hospital.
Once that happened, attacking the hospital to get at the military base is not itself a war crime.
You might wish it was, but that’s not what the law says.
That excuse has been used way too many times in bad faith
That’s assuming that that’s actually happening. The article only gives the IDF’s word, no evidence.
Let’s go back on how Israel became Israel and their entire regime. Murder (of men, women and children) and displacing 750 000 Palestinian people. Apartheid, racism. Illegal settlements.
Lying to the world about almost everything and not to forget how they speak about Palestinian people (calling them rats, animals and so on). Also to mention they are saying to drop an atomic bomb on Palestinian people (Gaza).
But that’s all “okay”, right? In your eyes.
Not to forget, Hamas was only created in 1987 because of Israel’s action from 1948 up to 1987. That’s 39-40 years later.
EDIT: some corrections like “there” to “their”
No, that is a hoax. International law revolves around proportionality and civilian security, explicitly protecting civilian medical facilities and their medical personnel. They are not invalidated according to the crimes of the other side.
In fact, this would still be a war crime even if there was a nuclear silo under the hospital. You might wish it was, but that’s not what the law says.
Reference Geneva IV, Article 19.
Civilian hospitals can lose their protection if the sites are used for “acts harmful to the enemy.”
this isn’t a war.
and laws don’t dictate morality.
Especially when one side seems to consider anyone not them the enemy
“Losing protection” refers to the total overprotection granted by the above article, do not pretend that this grants carte blanche. The rest of international humanitarian law and other laws still apply, including the rest of the geneva convention.
That same article establishes clear limits of proportionality which they did not comply with, and even if they had complied they have violated so many others (have you read the news?). This attack is flagrantly illegal, and is one of the most moderate they have had against hospitals.
Which law are we talking about?
It’s also a war crime that every Palestinian has a Hamas military installation in their body. Israel knows and is going to solve that problem. Better hope a Hamas military installation doesn’t happen to you or Israel will be coming for you. /s
You tend to lose count after the first few hundred.
Increasingly there is no difference between Israel and US police officers. “I feared for my life against a 12 year old so I shot them” vs “Hamas is in the hospital so we destroyed the hospital”.
It truly says something about someone’s lack of humanity when they attack a hospital. At least evacuate everyone first to another hospital.
It’s not a coincidence. For instance there’s the GILEE program which is literally a Georgia to Israel police exchange/training program.
Is the mantra of Israel “All publicity is good publicity”? They make headlines every day with war crimes destroying their own reputation rather than Hamas.
How’s any of it bad though? They’re getting cheered on by a significant number of people for the genocide.

Because big countries don’t seem to give a shit about them or genocide
Because the Middle East has oil, and the US insists on controlling it, despite being on the other side of the world. Israel is effectively a US colony that can be used as a reliable forward base for the US to fuck up the entire Middle East.
Don’t just chalk this up to oil. This has far more to do with AIPAC, one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the US, second only to AARP with its >35 million members.

Israel has nukes. And given their zeal with murdering civilians, it wouldn’t be off the table for them to threaten them if anyone invaded.
Because 80 years ago something bad happened
Still gun fights reported this morning at the hospital. Shooting both ways.
Why are so many doctors and nurses armed? Or is it the patients?
If you know they’re going to try to kill you no matter how cooperative you are, why the fuck wouldn’t you be armed?
If you mention the second amendment it short circuits their little Israeli brains, they know their own miserable lives depend on a freedom denied to Palestine and that karma is real and terrifying.
There is a difference between US second ammendment gun nuts and living/working in an active warzone/genocide.
Rights aren’t rights, truth isn’t truth lol
