    If they blow it up, there’s no way to prove they’re wrong.

    If they go on foot, people are going to ask where the proof is that they were right.

    So I’ll be very surprised if they ever go in on foot.

      If they go in on foot, they’re at much higher risk of being murdered by Hamas terrorists. On top of that, people like you will condemn them for going in and raiding a hospital.

        It’s murder when it’s civilians…

        If an invading enemy military force suffers casualties… That’s war.

        Not exactly complicated

          Those soldiers have families at home that are at risk because of these terrorists. Why should their lives be risked as well because the scummy terrorists use hospitals and civilians as human shields?

            When an opposing force uses human shields, you aren’t supposed to attack the fucking human shields. You’re supposed to show you value human life and try another way. If you kill the human shields, it’s a war crime.

            Especially since everything in Gaza seems to be a “human shield.” You don’t get to just bomb tunnels through a hospital without people calling you a war criminal.

              Moral dilemmas aside. Killing human shields or collateral is actually not a war crime. Using human shields is. People are throwing around that term without thinking.
