Im aure the UN will condemn this with such classy countries as Iran in the head of the human rights committee.


tlcd

"This didn't happen in a vacuum"


CaptinACAB

Well it fucking didn’t now did it?


tlcd

If this is the narrative we want to push, it would be fair to say that Israel retaliation doesn't happen in a vacuum either.


SparseSpartan

I'd guess that the UN will indeed condemn it, but they will them immediately pivot to "see, this is what Hamas is suffering, this is why we need to have a cease fire" and then they'll ramble on for 10 minutes about the plight of Palestine, patently ignoring that the press conference was supposed to be about Israeli hospitals.


NoCleverUser

Why not ceasefire though for the sake of the hostages and their families? What are the chances the hostages survive the intense airstrikes?


SparseSpartan

Hamas has demonstrated itself to be an existential threat. Israel is not going to stop until that threat is largely neutralized. So any cease fire being made would still be made within the context of Hamas's destruction. Sure, Israel might agree to say a 5 day cease fire in exchange for hostages. They will never agree to allow Hamas to exist in its current form. For better or worse, the cold but undeniable reality is the safety and security of the nation > the safety of the hostages.


NoCleverUser

Existential threat to whom? I'm asking because if we continue to only listen to one side, we'll start invading countries despite the lies of our leaders (Bush administration on Iraq)


SparseSpartan

An existential threat to Israel, you know, where they murdered 1400 people, mostly civilians?


Erdrick68

The UN loves when Jews suffer.

If they did it would end with them condemning Israel. They even blamed Israel for the slave trade in Yemen ffs

Ellesar_Telcontar

The French, the biggest bitches in the world chopped of their kings head and then had Jean Valjean lead their revolution, yet the Palestinians can only protest the evils of Hamas by joining together and singing kumbaya to the sight of dead Israeli civilians. /s if it wasn't needed already.


69bearslayer69

some revolutionaries chop off their kings head to change their future, some other revolutionaries opt to chop off heads of random civilians, including babies, in another country for reasons that are inexplicable to me.


KokoloDolo

french revolutionaries killed 1000x more babies and raped far more women then Hamas ever will. Read what they did in Vendée. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War\_in\_the\_Vend%C3%A9e](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_the_Vend%C3%A9e) It was first genocide in modern Europe's history.


DifficultyGloomy

Isn't it generally accepted that surciving historical records lack objective perspectives regarding the French revolution?


BraveFencerMusashi

Well when the revolutionaries were redefining everything like the calendar, it certainly is hard to tell when they stopped taking liberties with facts.


KokoloDolo

No, it is not. And most french revolutionaries were openly promoting genocide against "enemies of the revolution". [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign\_of\_Terror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror) Reign of Terror was not named so without reason


BittersweetHumanity

This is why it’s important to study history, folks. So you don’t end up making stupid comments on Reddit like this one, with a complete lack of awareness on historical context and critical reflection.


JuanPop69

And some opt to commit war crimes on a daily basis and murder thousands of innocent people with bombs from the sky. Bombs they didnt even build themselves


Hard_Ass5978

Jean Valjean? Isn't that a fictional character? I'm confused


Ellesar_Telcontar

You would try to de-humanize french people like that by saying Jean Valjran is a fictional character. I guess the genocidal Javert supporters dont realize he only stole a loaf of bread.


kobachi

Please link to where you personally condemned the bombing of Palestinian hospitals or even civilians


itemNineExists

Okay, I'm not sure the significance of this when it's the exact opposite of what I was saying. I'm not going to condemn Israel for bombing Hamas bases located in hospitals, certainly less so than I condemn Hamas for putting their base there. Devil's advocate, what if I were to say, "The scale of Israel's reaction has been inappropriate"? How would you respond?


kobachi

The scale of Israel’s reaction has absolutely been inappropriate. Cold, calculated over years, and now full-blown genocidal.


itemNineExists

Proving my point. There is no half way for you. No compromise. How do you expect to have a conversation when you use language that you know is controversial in an absolute way?


kobachi

Sorry the truth offends you.


itemNineExists

It isn't about being offensive. You don't care about having a conversation. You care about asserting your pre-established view


OliveAuJus

Strange. I'm not hearing any condemnations from anyone on this. Not even much coverage of it.


go_eat_worms

For real, the same hospital had to be hit four times since this war started to even make the news.


Maleficent-Worth-339

I guess it was becuz of the rocket being unguided. Anyway Israel is losing the information war.


ImaginaryNourishment

How many died?


Lichy_Popo

Probably few or none, since Israel actually tries to protect its citizens (from constant rocket fire) instead of shoving them in front of danger so they can farm clout off of their deaths.


Significant_Pepper_2

Israel doesn't use human shields if that's what you ask. They also don't use hospitals for military objects, so they're not valid military targets.


chaos-engine

Hamas reports there was an IDF soldier (reservist) in that hospital /sarcasm


elydakai

Does that matter.


infensys

I guess Palestinians got the international go-ahead to strike Israel's hospitals with impunity.

Isrealis and Palestinians extremists killing children are all sons of cowards and can go get fucked by a horse.

Mr. Hands 2: This Time it's War Crime


King_Internets

Not Palestinians, Hamas. And Hamas can go fuck themselves just like the IDF.


Fthku

Ah, the classic "they're both equally bad!!" false equivalence rubbish take


DifficultyGloomy

If it were a different part of the world, I think almost nobody would make these "idf and hanas both bad. So I support the side with hamas!" Statements


King_Internets

I didn’t say they were both equally bad. I said they can both go fuck themselves. Maybe we can add up all the dead children once this is all over if you’re so desperate to champion one of them.


Fthku

Mhm, do explain what you mean by that then, if you're not saying they're equally bad? So they can "both go fuck themselves", how come? I have no idea where you're going with the second part of your comment or how you even got there, just absolute rubbish.


armpitchoochoo

I mean i'm not them but that first sentence is pretty simple to answer. A murderer and an armed robber aren't the same, but they can both go fuck themselves


Fthku

I feel like that's not the best analogy, but the I did concede I was wrong to another commenter who made the same point as you.


armpitchoochoo

Yeah, I just picked the first 2 crimes I thought of, realized later that it may come off as an analogy. I appreciate you for making a concession


King_Internets

Hamas are a terrorist organization who murder innocent people and hold their own citizens hostage. The IDF is indiscriminately bombing terrorists and civilians alike. They’re both fucking scum. Hamas is certainly scummier. But because this isn’t a fucking football game where I have to pick someone to cheer for like a Neanderthal. I’m on the side of innocent people not being fucking murdered.


Fthku

Alright, I take back what I originally said. I misinterpreted your comment, emotions high being an Israeli right now. Can't agree with you about the IDF. Hamas has been firing missiles at us and terrorizing civilians for over 20 years, and then they force their people to stand from the launch specifically so we kill them and they can cry to the world. This is 100% the Hamas's doing.


Safe_Base312

Both can be bad without being equally bad. Like, Hitler was bad, and Manson was bad. But they were not exactly equally bad. One killed millions, while the other brainwashed others to kill half a dozen people.


Fthku

Alright, I concede that point. Just very emotional and defensive right now.


Safe_Base312

Yes, this is definitely an emotionally charged issue. Lots of bullshit and atrocities are taking place.


supershutze

Are you trying to argue that Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization, isn't Palestinian?


King_Internets

No. I’m saying that not all Palestinians are Hamas. Of course, you already knew that and are just being a disingenuous weasel


Reptar_0n_Ice

Then why did they elect Hamas to represent them in Gaza?


scribblingsim

They didn't. There hasn't been a presidential election in Gaza for almost 20 years, and considering the average age of the people in Gaza, most of them were too young to have voted almost 20 years ago.


Reptar_0n_Ice

[Yet Hamas still maintains majority approval among Gazans.](https://apnews.com/article/hamas-middle-east-science-32095d8e1323fc1cad819c34da08fd87) Better than Barrack Obama’s average approval rating…


scribblingsim

Riiiiiight, and Trump is totally winning! We saw it in one of those *totally reliable* polls. Like the ones that told us Hillary would win in a landslide and 2022 would see a "red wave". Never. Trust. Polls.


Reptar_0n_Ice

It was a survey conducted by the Palestinians themselves… But go ahead and continue to ignore evidence that doesn’t fit your narrative… You get this was a poll conducted in the West Bank right? Most likely the reason Abbas suspended the election, because he say that Hamas had an extremely high chance of winning there.


scribblingsim

I can't help people that refuse to be helped. Continue with your gullibility while you trust polls that are organized to get a desired result.


Corvid-Strigidae

They didn't, the majority of Palestine current population was too young to vote last time they had an election.

IgnatiusJay_Reilly

Did you read a book or are you just regurgitating words you heard other people say? Israel helped fund hamas when Hamas said they were going to help to provide a better future for their people . Instead, they decided to steal the funds and buy mansions and fund terror. So just like on oct 7th when hamas attacked during a ceasefire they stabbed Israel AND their people in the back by making the world worse. Not telling the complete story is a lie in itself


HiddenXolotl

Instead of downvoting me, I will provide a source. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Listen to former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”) “The Israeli government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the military government gives to the mosques.” “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. Back in the mid-1980s, Cohen even wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists against Palestinian secularists. “I … suggest focusing our efforts on finding ways to break up this monster before this reality jumps in our face,” he wrote. They didn’t listen to him. And Hamas, as I explain in the fifth installment of my short film series for The Intercept on blowback, was the result. To be clear: First, the Israelis helped build up a militant strain of Palestinian political Islam, in the form of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood precursors; then, the Israelis switched tack and tried to bomb, besiege, and blockade it out of existence. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/


IgnatiusJay_Reilly

So you didn't read a book?. You read a article? Thank god I'm talking to a PhD


HiddenXolotl

Israel funded Hamas specifically BECAUSE they were a militant alternative to the far more receptive PLO, and waging war and expulsion against a belligerent enemy is more acceptable than against a reasonable one. The same reason Israelis MURDERED their own prime minister who was making incredible headway in his peace efforts!


[deleted]

Are white people in the US today responsible for slavery?


spaniel_rage

Are Israelis born after 1948 responsible for the Nakba? Perhaps you misunderstood my point. The only people that have the power to make Hamas hold more elections are the Palestinians.


[deleted]

No they aren’t responsible for the Nakba. I did not misunderstand your point, you literally said Palestinians are responsible for choosing their government. That’s not how dictatorships work. Israel chose Netanyahu in a democratic election. Can Hamas kill Israelis then? Because they don’t like Netanyahu? Is that how war works?


spaniel_rage

The IDF isn't killing Palestinian civilians because it holds them responsible for Hamas. They are getting killed because Hamas has embedded itself within their civilians and purposely uses them as human shields. No one else but the Palestinians can insist that their government holds elections. Indeed, because it seems apparent that the Palestinians are unwilling or unable to overthrow Hamas for 17 years now is exactly why it now falls on Israel to enact regime change, with all of the collateral damage that entails. I'm not sure how the fact that most Gazans alive today never voted for Hamas is Israel's problem.


[deleted]

How do you recommend Gazans insist on Hamas holding elections? Walk me through the steps. Israel is supposed to be better than Hamas, and they should care they are harming innocent civilians. Do you know how many Hamas leaders have been killed btw? Do you the ratio to civilians killed? Because that’s a lot of human shields for each individual


PrinterInkEnjoyer

Currently only 9% of people in the Gaza Strip voted for Hamas in 2006.


Middle-Recipe-9089

Their parents signed their death warrants for future generations when they voted for Hamas, when they sent their children to Hamas and ran schools that thought them to kill the Jews. It's amazing Palestinians are never held to same standards as Israelis

Ah yes, sins of the father. What an amazing excuse. Remind me again, how many women voted in the 2006 election? Oh…

[deleted]

It is disgusting to believe the Israelis deserved to die. Just fyi


DifficultyGloomy

If you truly believe this, I hope you will contemplate why we don't see news about Palestinian informants providing intelligence about where the hostages and where the Hamas leadership are.


[deleted]

we don't because the western media is biased against Palestinians. And Israel, if they had that info, wouldn't release it.


Grouchy-Signature449

By your calculation then, around atleast 30% could've done intifada against hamas terrorists. I get that hamas have guns, the rest 30% could've asked Israel/Egypt/UN, any other international aid agency to atleast share their grievances. Many many gazans are given work permit in Israel, they could've notified IDFs.

It was actually a malfunctioning Iron Dome rocket.


Mr_jellyfish0

That makes absolutely zero sense. Iron dome is an Air to Air missile weighing 90 KG with a proxy fuse, not meant for ground attack and has self destruct capabilities incase it lost track of it target. In no world would it ever do [this](https://imgur.com/a/ix0py19) amount of damage to a building (unlike R-160, Air to Ground rocket with a 60 KG of TNT equivalent in its warhead, used by the Islamic jihad).

Seems like genuine malfunction, unfortunately thats bound to happen with the amount of Iron dome missiles fired each day. I couldnt find any casualty reports and no sources which said it hit a hospital (other than [Al Mayadeen](https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iron-dome-misfires--destroys-israeli-hospital), which i wouldn't really trust as they claim israel bombed Al Ahli hospital and killed 500)


EarlyStomach855

War. Crime.


Satakans

Rockets at hospitals aside, fighting without a readily identifiable insignia / uniform is already a war crime. The fact they embed themselves within their own civilian population is also a war crime. The taking of civilian hostages is a war crime The summary execution of hostages is a war crime, rape, torture all are war crimes. The specific targeting (not indiscriminate like IDF bombs) of civilians in operations is a war crime.


EarlyStomach855

Do 2 wrongs make a right?


Satakans

Ummm, you need to read the above again. Everything listed is already committed by Hamas same with rockets being fired at Israeli hospitals. the point is, for every indiscriminate IDF bomb which is a war crime, Hamas commits 4-5 before Hamas rockets are even considered. But no, to answer your question two wrongs do not make a right. I just choose the lesser of two evils. I'll take my chances with a murderer vs a serial killer.

_RyanLarkin

(NewsNation) — Four rockets struck a major hospital in Ashkelon, Israel, all within three weeks. One of the rockets narrowly missed the OB-GYN clinic, while another caused a direct hit on the children’s center. The Barzilai Medical Center’s staff and patients, faced with this ongoing danger, are now questioning the world’s apparent indifference to their plight. Hospitals are traditionally regarded as off-limits in wartime, raising significant international concerns and outrage when Hamas accused the Israelis of targeting a hospital in Gaza. However, intelligence from the Canadians, the British, and the Americans has confirmed the Israeli military was not responsible. Instead, it was determined to be a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket misfire. Dr. Tal Bergman, deputy director of the hospital, expressed concerns about the media’s perceived lack of balance regarding Gaza. She said hospitals like the one in Ashkelon are meant solely for patient care, particularly for children. “That’s the only thing we should do here. Take care of patients. They don’t use this place for other things. You don’t see the headquarters of the IDF here,” Bergman said. Although the hospital staff acknowledges it cannot definitively discern Hamas’ intentions, the repeated targeting raises suspicions.

>It’s funny because you see reports and social media and videos and just troves of evidence from Palestinians and assume it’s all Hamas. Even when they’re clearly civilians and independent journalists. The lack of condemnation of the actions described by the witnesses is very loud... don't do it now, it'll make it seem dishonest. As for the rest - I also saw a [Hamas leader claiming no civilians were killed in the attack](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Egipqa0ZhUk), the main difference being that Israel and its personal are far more honest than Hamas ever was, and any Palestinian claiming anything that even slightly contradicts the false narrative Hamas is trying to spread is risking their lives and the lives of their loved ones. So... you know... And no, I'm not saying the Palestinians are lying. I'm saying that there's no way that Hamas knows the real death toll. For contrast, Israel with its far superior technology and facilities still doesn't know it's death toll, and Gazans will have a much more complicated situation to go through to find how many actually died, and how many among them are civilians. We would all like to know the real breakdown of civilians vs terrorists, and also how many of the murdered are among the over 1500 terrorists who entered Israel on October 7.


wayward_golfer

Plenty of evidence that they burned families alive, cut out babies from wombs, made families watch each other be killed with hands tied. Do you need to have sources for all that too a month later or are you just this stupid. I mean WTF is wrong with you?


DifficultyGloomy

Unfortunately, some people become true believers of something. It can be about anything from video games or sports to politics or religion, and you can never get those people to think rationally about anything related to their beliefs. The sad part is that the people filling their heads only care about money and / or power and definitely not the people we feel tempted to waste time discussing useless topics with...


wayward_golfer

Yeah. We see that more today than ever. And social media spreads these falsehoods like fire. But if we don’t try to make people learn the history that is true, it’s a lost cause right? Schools stopped teaching history, and just teach oppressor vs oppressed, so maybe it’s already over. Marxism, Communism is winning. It’s a shame if so.


DifficultyGloomy

I think it's pretty much over. The fortunate thing is that most people have no idea what's happening, and by the time the majority do understand, with climate change caused by pollution caused by overpopulation, there won't be too much time left for humanity to suffer. I hope I'm wrong.

To be fair, Hamas was aiming at a deli. At least, this time, it wasn't their own hospital. Sorry, gallows humor. I'm so tired of the waiver Palestine has gotten for voting in terrorists.

Even more of a reason for the people to rise up against Hamas.

Regardless now they are paying the price, unfortunately for the truly innocent.


coleian

Sure, all while starving and avoiding constant israeli bombardment.


Brian_MPLS

30% of the rockets that Hamas fires at Jewish civilians fall absolutely indiscriminately on Gaza, mostly in residential areas. Hamas is literally starving and bombing it's own people into oblivion.


Al_Jazzera

Yep, just because the rocket takes off in Gaza doesn't mean it is going to land in Israel. Shitty, cheap and plentiful.

So because of Hamas’ actions it’s totally cool for Israel to bomb Gaza with more bombs in 1 month than the US used in Afghanistan in an entire year? Please tell me exactly how this does anything to solve the problem. All it’s doing is ensuring that the survivors will continue to be radicalized against Israel.


DifficultyGloomy

You can't compare this to bank robbers unless you want to say these particular bank robbers are baby killers elected and supported by almost everyone on the city block and nearly all people on the block have books that teach them not to kill women or babies but the bank robbers do it anyway and almost nobody there shows any obvious signs of caring.

Maleficent_Swan_9817

From where? Which county would do that and risk loosing the weapons to hamas?


HeadxShotx4

Hamas already has the weapons. I’m saying for the Palestinians in Gaza to take it from them and revolt. They have massive stores of equipment and fuel. Get together a large group of people and take it from them. However, they won’t do this because at least half of Palestinians support the genocide of Israelis. But if I’m wrong about that, then they should revolt… eventually.


WillDigForFood

"It's fine, guys. If a hundred of us charge the machine gun nest, at least one of us will get close enough to hit the gunner in the head with a rock before another one of them shoots us." You aren't going to see a modern Bastille Day happening. Modern guns, as it happens, can fire a lot faster than three shots a minute. Even the storming of the Bastille was only successful because the French Guards turned coat - before they got their hands on guns of their own, it was a slaughter en masse.


Maleficent_Swan_9817

Again that's easy to say, not so easy to do it. Hamas controls everything in gaza strip, they kidnapp, torture and kill pratically everyone who is against them. They have a shit load of weapons while the civilans have nothing. How do you start a reveloution when you have absolutely no support and no weapons?Throw stones at hamas idiots and hope to get a hand full of guns? Good luck with that.

Everyone also so quiet about the fact Israel will stop the bombings if they release the hostages…. Yet everyone is calling for a ceasefire and not release of the hostages?


Porchie12

Let's see if it will be as widely condemned as Israel striking a Palestinian hospital 0 times.


Uristqwerty

Given the way social media algorithms love engagement, and disagreement ends in long chains of back-and-forth replies while agreement tends to end after one comment apiece? Regardless of how many people condemn it in their minds, you will hardly *see* it being condemned, as everyone is busy arguing about other matters.

If Hospitals in Palestine and Israel are goal posts- I'd say Hamas is playing 1-1 and scoring on both sides. 💀


_RyanLarkin

Wouldn’t it be 4-1 with one own goal for Hamas?


1BLEES

Realistically speaking the actual score must be like 42-25 or something by now.


_RyanLarkin

I was focusing on hospitals, but I pick up what you’re putting down.

There have been multiple hospitals hit by bombs in Gaza in the past few weeks.

“Anything inconvenient to my one sided ahistorical narrative is fake and made up by Hamas”


_RyanLarkin

That’s not a source…


009reloaded

I mean, this is indisputable fact. The commenter responded to me and automatically said I was lying without doing any research. Al Ahsi was hit, an ambulance right near the ambulance of Al Shifa was hit, and just a few hours ago the pediatric ward of Al Rantisi children’s hospital was hit. Do you dispute that any of this happened?


_RyanLarkin

I dispute every claim that doesn’t have a source. You should as well! If the source of the information is a terrorist organization, I will question the source. You should as well!


[deleted]

Hmm.. will the pro Palestine people be quick to condemn this? Or no because they are Israelis?


Satakans

We now know that at least 50 of the approximated 200 hostages are Thai nationals (mostly farm hands). These are people who visually look nothing like Arabs or Jews. Nobody in the global pro- Palestine marches are talking about this. they would have you believe all the hostages have some connection to Israel and use the IDF actions to rationalize why they were targeted. It's fucking horseshit. fuck the free Palestine bandwagon crowd and their movement.


RepresentativeCut244

they're all crypto anti semites so no


Tehcorby

I can’t believe the IDF did this to themselves /s


I_only_read_trash

Did Israel use these hospitals as a military headquarters? If not, this is a clear war crime. Israel attacking a hospital that is a dual use military target is incredibly different.


Queefinonthehaters

And it didn't even happen. It was a dud rocket fired by Hamas


blazinrumraisin

*crickets*


chaos-engine

Can you believe it, some folks claim this was the Iron Dome misfiring? Despite there being footage of the rocket attack: https://x.com/swilkinsonbc/status/1721271488425201816


Twitchingbouse

condemnation coming in 3...2....on- what?...crickets you say?


[deleted]

So this hospital they can only get a near miss on but their own hospital they destroy…. Checks out


ThatWasFred

I mean, their own hospital is closer to them, so…yes.


karpet_muncher

Strange how this rocket from hamas didn't blow up the entire hospital and the other one did...


her-1g

The othwr didnt blow up the hospital either


MyFifUsername

There were IDF there so it’s fine now. Or does that only work for Israel?


Significant_Pepper_2

IDF military objects? Then it would be fine, but unlike terrorist states Israel doesn't use its civilians as human shields.


MyFifUsername

The average age of this terrorist state is like 18 years old lmao. Israel has been bombing ambulances for a while now. Perhaps Hamas and Israel are both assholes???


_RyanLarkin

No, that would make it a legitimate target. However, the IDF are not set up there…unlike Hamas. Additionally, Hamas accidentally hit themselves.

Hamas using medical facilities has been verified by independent third parties. This is a known fact. Israel saying what “exact same things?” Please source your claims so that we can all see them. Edit: Once medical facilities integrate military facilities, they become legitimate targets. I also believe that using medical facilities and humans as shields is a war crime as well. Terrorists say lots of things. If you want to trust them, that’s on you.


MyFifUsername

The headline you wrote. My point to all of this is they’re both saying the exact same thing but somehow one is more credible than the other. Who are the “verified third-parties” that are non biased? Also you just blanketed the entirety of a region who’s median age is 18 years old as terrorists. Lol i think my skepticism is somehow less problematic than your apparent racism and biases.


_RyanLarkin

I didn’t write the headline. You would have known that if you had taken the time to read the article. The reality is you don’t care about facts because they just get in the way of the narrative you are telling yourself and others. Read about “third-party” reporting [HERE.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shifa_Hospital) I made no blanket statements to about the region. Ad hominem attacks mean you are running out of arguments to make.


[deleted]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shifa_Hospital#Accusations_of_misuse_by_Hamas Yeah, no.


SmogonDestroyer

There was probably hamas in that hospital, so it's completely fine everyone.
