this is depressing.

I'm not going to comment on whether or not Hamas' attack was genocidal, because even if they meant it to be, I just don't they have the capability. but like... Israel is bombing fucking hospitals and refugee camps inside the strip. That's not how you go about "avoiding civilian casualties".

the only side worth supporting here are the civilians caught in the middle.

Excuse my ignorance but has Israel actually bombed a hospital?

Thanks. I assumed hospitals would get damaged in the fighting but I did not know some of them were literally flattened

There was a 12 year old girl that had her leg blown off at home by an IDF airstrike and her family killed.

When she was lying amputated in the hospital bed, an israeli tank shell blew her head off.

For real? They bomb a different one like every other fucking day.

Literally all of them. There's only the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis left but it's barely functioning as it's completely overwhelmed, and Khan Younis has been besieged for days. There were 36 in total
