      No, he’s saying Israel built it for Israel’s purposes. He’s claiming that Hamas has been using it (presumably since Israel pulled out of Gaza in '05). But Israel using structures it built as casus belli to blow up a hospital looks really bad on Israel’s part.

        I think any reason to blow up a hospital makes Israel look bad, but if I misunderstood what he meant, fair enough.

          The justification is that Hamas uses hospitals for their purposes and they have bunkers and tunnels there. Why would it matter who build the bunkers? IDF is trying to destroy Hamas who uses hospital (with bunkers). Per this article the bunkers were built for hospital medical use.

          I mean, in Barak’s mind he’s probably attempting to justify the bombing. In a sane person’s eyes it looks really bad.

            Maybe that’s the problem. The so-called justification just went over my head. Because it’s fucking nuts. How many innocent people who were in need of hospital care did they kill? Including children? And then claim it’s because Hamas uses human shields…
