OR they could stop bombing hospitals. Absolutely weird idea I know but just a thought.
It's a difficult situation considering some of the hospitals also house Hamas
It's not. Hamas being there doesn't magically make this okay, you fucking homonculus
Running a military operation out of a hospital makes it a valid target. Hamas is using civilians as human shields.
Are you suggesting it is okay to kill civilians being used as human shields?
Are you suggesting that human shields have more value than the people who is being mortally attacked from behind the shields?
No. That's exactly the point, you dipshit. They have AS MUCH value. Equal to.
Value is for spreadsheets.
Humans have worth. And all humans have equal worth. All things actually.
I don’t agree with that nice sounding platitude. Terrorists and pedophiles lives don’t have the same worth as a nobel price winner to society.
That's a moral judgment. Worth has nothing to do with it.
All things, by virtue of their existence, have equal worth.
Wonderful example, considering anybody can be nominated and win a Nobel peace prize, including people guilty of ethnic cleansing.
somehow I'm not surprised that you can't even think about science and how it contributes to civilization.
you are being intellectually dishonest by claiming that we are all equal and then you pick the worst possible example from the group instead of picking the best representatives of nobel prize winners before comparing them with terrorists.
but sure I'll take anyone from the list of nobel prize winners (which in my opinion are usually political) over someone that puts babies in ovens and burns them alive. it's not really that complicated as you are trying to make it seem, even when you pick a strawman interpretation of my comment.
EDIT: In a way I'm not surprised that the very people who defend hamas think that rapists and terrorists have the same worth as a nobel prize winner.
No one is defending Hamas. People are defending all the innocent civilians who are being attacked and killed.
I hope that willfully ignoring the people defending hamas works for you.
Bro you're the embodiment of shitty red herring gas lit arguments.
All things being equal, the IDF are bigger and more successful terrorists than Hamas and their response to the October 7 attack was a disproportionate response, despite the IDF also conducting operations in the west bank at the same exact time.
Justice for Palestine
I would suggest they are certainly more valuable than the incompetent marksmen who would rather make excuses than aim their fucking guns
Genocide apologist try not to justify bombing hospitals challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Running a military operation out of a hospital makes it a valid target.
Based on who though
Just like bank robbers do, and you wouldn't be ok with the police entering with flamethrowers
So if a bank robber took a cashier as a hostage, you'd suggest to just shoot the hostage, to get to the bank robber?
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.
I was mainly focusing on the validity of taking out hostages in order to get to the bad guys.
War fucking sucks, and sometimes the only way to save 10,000 lives is to end 100. Every country has limited resources to deal with hostage situations in active warzones.
Hahaha isreali loses are less than 2000 by all the numbers I've found, Palestinians dead 10000+, Palestinians injured 30000.
You're correct, scale matters.
The thing though is, that this is not the case with IDF. They have plenty resources, enough to be selling to the rest of the world actually, and they are not preventing an impending attack. It seems like their motives are somewhere else
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.
At some point you guys need to take a step back, and realize that you're arguing for bombing hospitals full of children.
cool. can you tell Hamas to stop using hospitals for war?
Don't pretend that you have empathy for anyone involved in this conflict when you're, again, advocating for bombing fucking kids.
When there's a school shooting happening you don't just flatten the school.
I have as much empathy as you do.
Seems unlikely given..... All of that^^^
I'll ask again... maybe you'll answer (nobody else I've asked has). It seems you support Israel, so why don't you think they should be held to a higher standard than a literal terrorist organization?
I don't support Israel.
So you're just being a contrarian/troll then? Seemed like a pretty emotional defense of their actions for someone who doesn't support them. Guess that's the internet for you.
Says Israel with no evidence. Every single international aid NGO active in the area denies it.
One video of them shooting at a hospital, one video of tanks in alleys, and one video of a single man in a street with an RPG.
This is not evidence of anything. It's as much evidence of hospitals being command centers as a picture of an RV was evidence for mobile chemical weapons labs in Iraq.
Probably shouldn't use paywalled sources to prove your point bud, especially ones that don't seem to be in amnesty.org (the official website, not an wapo editorial.)
Those all seem to be attacks of opportunity not thought out, well supplied hit and runs like you would expect for "thousands of miles of tunnels" or a "sizable underground garrison". You'd expect combat closer to Vietnamese rat nest attacks of Israel were at all correct.
Ed: you last source doesn't even say it's happening, it says they condemn it, essentially "if your doing it, stop doing it".
Your link goes to a page about Palestinians being tortured.
I haven't seen anything but condemnation because no one has actual evidence it's happening, Israel who are the most adamant that it's happening won't show proof.
That article also condemns using hospitals, it didn't however say it is happening. They are couching statements because Israel says it is happening and the concept is at the very least plausible and condemnation appeases Israeli allies.
You haven't provided proof, you've provided statements of condemnation, that's different. I can condemn the use of the trashcan at the end of the alley as a toilet, that doesn't actually mean anyone's been shitting in the trashcan just that I think if it happened it would be abhorrent.
Notably absent any actual evidence and it's not like the US would lie to exert influence and justify international conflict.
I remember we stormed that one country because they had "weapons of mass destruction" and 20 years later we found so goddamn many...... No wait we found none and were proven to have known there weren't ever any.
I never said they didn't use tunnels. I said the only evidence for the hospitals being used is "Israel Says". You can't just throw random articles as "sources". They need to actually back up your point and credibly. A tunnel in visual range of a hospital is not it. A blog with unsubstantiated claims is not it. A major news article that doesn't say anything about hospitals, is not it.
And please stop trying to reply to me in two places with the same thing.
They promised signs of hostages, a command center, and an arms room. They showed a toilet, a bed, and some baby supplies.
Please tell me you're not this gullible? There's a reason you found that on Twitter and the Washington Examiner.
Sure bro, I have more sources. Just tell me which site or source I should actually use so you don't call me a mindless idiot and downvote me. Challenge accepted
didnt they also offer people to leave and then bombed the route they were told to take?
Russia did this to Ukrainian kids also.
Hit the refugees directly and ambulance evacuation convoys.
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.
Israel bombed refugee camps, targeted ambulance, and killed press personnel so yeah
Israel also publicly acknowledged they bombed an ambulance convoy, they claim the ambulances were used to transport Hamas militia.
You can choose to believe or disbelieve them on their motivations (I am very skeptical, personally), but these aren't unsubstantiated claims. These are publicly acknowledged strikes.
And with that many bombs flying around, so many buildings levelled, of course there's going to be journalists around the place getting hit.
Israel also publicly acknowledged they bombed an ambulance convoy, they claim the ambulances were used to transport Hamas militia.
The source is hamas themselves--Not very reputable, as reputable as the IDF saying they didn't do it.
According to the IDF, militias inside of Gaza are indeed using Ambulances and medical gear to disguise themselves. However, as previously mentioned--not very impartial.
Both parties killed innocent civilians. And both parties wants this war to keep going.
By both I mean Hamas and Israel.
Iran said yesterday that they’ll keep a front with Israel. And Israel have no intention to stop the violence until they occupy Gaza and West Bank.
That is one of my sources, yes.
Ok, great, we've gone from "Where's the evidence?" to "Israel is justified doing those things".
I don't think anybody outside the Hamas command structure or the IDF command structure can conclusively and unequivocally claim they know whether these strikes were or were not justified, it all comes down to which sources you believe.
I'm glad we've made progress though and you acknowledge that these things happened.
You're mistaken if you think that's justification--No, it's an explanation.
What? Do you want me to post a disclaimer that Israel is evil every post or something? Hope you do the same~
"Do you have evidence"
"No wait I don't mean actual evidence, stop. That I'm here to spread IDF propaganda"
"Oh wow I can really make anyone say anything if I make up what they say"
Jesus Christ look around it’s been everywhere
Christ doesn’t come into the picture there.
I see a lot of propaganda.
Clearly
yes, thanks to social media the entire world can see it now. that’s why they were cutting off internet service - because the favorable media isn’t the only game in town anymore to tell everyone “poor israel” while ignoring Israels atrocities.
what do you mean now? it's been documented for decades my dude
right, and you had to look for it. the mainstream media wasn’t interested in showing that side of things. it’s always “israel is under attack”
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
**** And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
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.
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.
Just trust me bro the explosion was too small so it couldn't have been an IDF attack
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.
Right, and then the whole world will go: "I wonder who could have possibly done this".
You wouldn't use the same armaments that your enemy is using? If I were evil, I would do my best to make it look like my enemy is the one who is killing civilians. It's so common that there's actually a name for it
Click the link, it's an article about the 3000th Palestinian child to receive free lifesaving heart surgery. The quote is from his mom.
I wasn't referring to the doctors.
Israel's been shitting on Palestinians for a long time, but now Hamas decided to be the shitty ones.
The children did nothing wrong, and I have no reason to believe that doctors will do anything less than their best for these kids, but the doctors aren't the ones with bombs.
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.
Israel offers to ~evacuate~ dispose of babies from crippled Gaza hospital
-Updated headline for accuracy
Yeah, wonder how long till they find Hamas supposedly hiding under thier blankets and kill all the babies in self defense.
They going to evacuate the babies to Siberia like Pootie did?
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!
lol israel just wants to take these babies away from their families to have them be raised as israelis. Classic genocidal behaviour.
OR they could stop bombing hospitals. Absolutely weird idea I know but just a thought.

They have also already supplied evidence of some hospitals being used by Hamas to fire at the IDF. 1 2 3

Israel bombed refugee camps, targeted ambulance, and killed press personnel so yeah
Do you have proof of this?
The refugee camp bombing was widely reported and Israel publicly said it was them. Israel said the dozens of civilians killed were worth it to kill a Hamas commander.
Israel also publicly acknowledged they bombed an ambulance convoy, they claim the ambulances were used to transport Hamas militia.
You can choose to believe or disbelieve them on their motivations (I am very skeptical, personally), but these aren't unsubstantiated claims. These are publicly acknowledged strikes.
And with that many bombs flying around, so many buildings levelled, of course there's going to be journalists around the place getting hit.

According to the IDF, militias inside of Gaza are indeed using Ambulances and medical gear to disguise themselves. However, as previously mentioned--not very impartial.
So instead, here's footage showing a medic running to a downed militant, just to take the rifle to another militant while leaving the downed militant. Both militants are in civilian clothing.
While disputed, in 2014, Amnesty International claims that the hospital is being used as a Hamas base. It's worth noting that the Hospital itself was originally a military barracks.

I trust Israel to take care of those babies as well as I take care of a turd in my toilet.

The children did nothing wrong, and I have no reason to believe that doctors will do anything less than their best for these kids, but the doctors aren't the ones with bombs.
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.
It literally happens all the time.

Israel offers to ~evacuate~ dispose of babies from crippled Gaza hospital
-Updated headline for accuracy
Yeah, wonder how long till they find Hamas supposedly hiding under thier blankets and kill all the babies in self defense.
They going to evacuate the babies to Siberia like Pootie did?
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.

lol israel just wants to take these babies away from their families to have them be raised as israelis. Classic genocidal behaviour.
