          Looks like we found the cheat code in war – just make everything hospitals or medical related and no one can touch them!

          If Hamas gives a single fuck about these innocent people, abandon their outpost below the hospital.

            Hamas doesn’t care… They are terrorists. It is incumbent upon the “good guys” to be better than the terrorists. We really don’t want to go back to the time when war was a race to the bottom of the atrocity ladder.

              Yup. Hamas is a shit organization who only the Palestinian people to further their wealth and trash ideology. Gaza hasnt had an election since Hamas barely came to power. Their leaders live a life of luxury while their people suffer. That said, netanyahu has been a fucking asshole himself – he caused this attack as much as Hamas.

              However, this is an ongoing war that was started by two assholes where the only suffering happens to innocent people. Civilians die in war, while they are not primary targets (except by terrorists), they will be caught in the crossfire. If a major leadership cell is at a hospital – the hospital is a target and the leadership will be taken out, even in the laws of war – you CAN target hospitals. If a hospital is “untouchable” then the enemy will use it. War is horrible, but when you are in it – you fight.

              Its best to focus on the failed policies of the USA, Isreal and the authoritarian, terrorist Hamas government that led to this mess in the first place and find some path for peace to ultimately stop all this bloodshed.

              How this can be done? No idea, but whatever has been done isnt working.

                I’ve been in a few war zones… I know the rules. The point isn’t whether it’s legal… Israel has the resources to clear these places on foot. Yes, it sucks and yes, it will result in higher IDF casualties. Just like clearing Falluja building by building led to higher coalition losses there. Soldiers dying is better than civilians dying…especially when you’re fighting terrorists. Every dead civilian has family, friends, lovers, etc, that will become more sympathetic to the terrorists and make killing the ideology that much harder.

                You dumb. Correct, they haven’t had an election within the lifetime of over half the population of Gaza so they aren’t duly elected and there’s little evidence to support Palestinian support of Hamas specifically. Netanyahu had been caught paying hamas cash on multiple occasions, didn’t must cause it he paid for it.

                You cannot disproportionately attack a hospital, there are 5000 people known to be in that hospital and a claimed sub 500 Garrison below that they refuse to get into his or why they know about. You can’t kill 5000 to kill 500 you don’t actually even have proof exist.

                You seem to gloss over the literal terrorist roots of the IDF, lehi, irgun, haganah age others were all terrorist organizations involved in self claimed acts of assassination, civilian bombing and religious purge of secular leadership.

                No shit? Bombing civilian industry and controlling the population of an open air concentration camp isn’t popular? Whoever would have guessed that?

                The policy that led to Hamas was the apartheid system imposed on Palestinians by Israelis, not to mention the continued theft of land over the last 70 years. Nothing changes without that system being dismantled.

              Comparing actions being taken in a war being fought over an area larger than that of Delaware to that of a bank robbery is too reductionist to give any sort of meaningful response to.

        Let’s tell a story…

        Imagine for a moment, if you will, the United States in the present day. Imagine a bill reaches the US House of Representatives called “America the nation state of white people”. In its basic principles it states “the right to exercise National self-determination in the United States is unique to white people”. Further down a clause for White Settlement “the state views the development of White Settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation”.

        Outraged a coalition led by the Congressional Black Caucus initiates a challenge to the bill and proposes a bill of their own where it calls the United States “a country for all its citizens” but the speaker of the house unilaterally disqualifies the bill before it’s allowed to even be debated.

        The house General counsel explains in a statement the bill includes several articles that are meant to “alter the character of the United States from the nation state of white people to a state in which there is equal status from the point of view of nationality for whites and people of color” the bill is dead.

        “America the nation state of white people” passes through both chambers of Congress unchallenged it’s then signed into law.

        US President Joe Biden would invoke the law in a tweet a year later saying “America is not a state of all its citizens according to the nation state law we passed America is the nation state of white people and not anyone else” As one Rights group put it “there is no Democratic constitution in the world that designates the Constitutional identity of the state on racial grounds as serving one ethnic group”. There is now this disconcerting scenario, it is anything but imaginary.

        It’s completely real and happened just a few years ago to little coverage and little condemnation in Israel.

        That is who you are defending, like a golem set to task by its master, thoughtless and without morals.

      Are you referring to the video of the car en route to Egypt blowing up? If so, that wasn’t Israel. The only explosives in range would be missiles or artillery, which are much larger than the blast captured.

      The public currently doesn’t know what caused the explosion. Some say it was fuel igniting, others say there was an IED either on the road or inside the car.

        If so, that wasn’t Israel.

        The public currently doesn’t know what caused the explosion.

        ??

          It helps to read between the quotes.

          The only explosives in range would be missiles or artillery, which are much larger than the blast captured.

              Here are some destructive payloads of missiles and artillery

              Unfortunately, I can’t find the original source material, however I can link you to a video from a Rumble podcast showcasing the explosion I’m referencing. However, I did find this article, which contains much more gratuitous content, but is still on the topic of attacking refugees–The article notes that experts are unable to conclude what kind of blast it was.

                  if i was the IDF and I wanted to kill civilians without any witnesses, I’d use my largest and most destructive bomb to really make sure no one captures it on film.

                  but that’s if I was evil.

                I remember the BBC one, it’s pretty much inconclusive on who and what done it, and there’s no more news on this particular case iirc.

    I wonder how many Palestinians would trust the Israeli government with the health and safety of their babies. The number can’t be very high.

    This feels a bit like Russia gallantly “offering” to “adopt” and “care for” Ukrainian children whose families are unfortunately, inadvertently facing some difficulties currently (e.g. death)…

    There is a huge need for Israel to actually prove this shit. I’ve seen only two pieces of evidence that they aren’t just collectively wilding out and killing everyone in Gaza. One piece was a brand new version of Mein Kampf that they swear came from a “child’s living room” whatever the fuck that means. And the other one was blurry images of a Hamas terrorist that might have been beside a hospital.

    Israel is in the top 5 of military powers and they’re supposedly fighting terrorists that they’ve fought for decades who have essentially no modern military capability besides on the ground street fighting. If they have intelligence that Hamas is using hospitals, refugee camps, ambulances, the routes Israel said civilians can use for escape, etc, it seems like there would be no risk in releasing that.

    It’s put up or shut time. Because all we’re seeing is a bunch of evidence of genocide and war crimes. So show us the evidence or just go full mask off (rather than the 80% mask off that they seem to be doing so far) and just admit that Israel is trying to turn Gaza into a parking lot with all that means for civilians.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GAZA/JERUSALEM, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Israel’s military said it was ready to evacuate babies from Gaza’s largest hospital on Sunday, where Palestinian officials said two newborns died and dozens more were at risk after fuel ran out amid intense fighting in the area.

    Israel’s three major TV news channels, without citing named sources, said there was some progress toward a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

    Israel has said doctors, patients and thousands of evacuees who have taken refuge at hospitals in northern Gaza must leave so it can tackle Hamas gunmen who it says have placed command centres under and around them.

    Israeli Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter called the evacuations “Gaza’s Nakba” - a reference to mass dispossessions of Palestinians after Israel was founded in 1948.

    Israel said earlier it had killed what it called a Hamas “terrorist” who it said had prevented the evacuation of another hospital in the north, which Palestinian officials have said is out of service and surrounded by tanks.

    Meeting in Saudi Arabia, Muslim and Arab countries called for an immediate end to military operations in Gaza, rejecting Israel’s justification of self-defence.


    The original article contains 841 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Isreal just really wants to do the right thing, guys, trust them. There’s no way they end up losing track of all the children they take in, there’s definitely no way they indoctrinate them all, and I’m completely sure they won’t just have them killed in secret, no way any of that could happen.
