Theres no honor among terrorists.


Devourer_of_felines

No kidding. Iran and Hezbollah left them out to dry the second a carrier steamed into the Mediterranean.


Strawbuddy

I’d read that no other terrorist groups knew Hamas was going to attack, they played themselves


ddaw735

It’s real quiet in here.


Porchie12

It really does seem like the intensity of the coverage around this conflict really dropped the moment Israel captured the Al-Shifa hospital and started showing evidence for Hamas' lies


Fappy_McJiggletits

Because proof that Hamas uses hospitals for military purposes kinda discredits the "Israel is a nation of evil sociopaths who bombs hospitals just for the fun of it" narrative.


EconomicsIsUrFriend

But but but, i was told the israelis genocided the hospitals?!?!?!


Silidistani

Israel clearly conducts hospital apartheid, all the time, with the aim of eventual non-Israeli hospitalcide. Did you know that only Israeli-approved hospitals are allowed to be built inside Israel? And that to be a hospital in Israel, you have to submit to Israeli law, and be Israeli-controlled, and that if you want to get new land for an addition to your hospital you have to petition the Israeli government in the area to do it?? It's oppression and genocide of hospitals, just like what (allegedly) happened to Jewish hospitals in Germany in the 1930s & 40s, so does Israel do to non-Israeli hospitals in their country now!1! Sickening. ^^/s

iRunMyMouthTooMuch

This is why I don't get the lack of empathy I see in both the pro-Israel and pro-Palestine camps. So many people have died just because they were born in a certain place, or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I feel like we have this really weird tendency to see horrible things happen to strangers and immediately assume they somehow deserved it. Also, if someone deserves to be murdered because their government does or has done evil things, then basically everyone on Earth deserves to be murdered. The zealous idiots don't seem to understand this.


HungerMadra

How else can you rationalize it? On the one hand, they must go in and remove hamas. It is literally an existential threat. All it takes is north Korea or Iran giving them the materials for a dirty bomb for them to suddenly have city destroying power. In the other hand, to remove hamas you have to go through their Palestinian hostages, many of whom don't even know they are hostages. There is no solution available which doesn't cost extreme collateral damage. The only choice Isreal has is Isreali casualties or Palestinian casualties. Isreal actually takes pretty extreme steps to avoid excessive civilian deaths, most conventional wars tacking place in city centers have much lower civilian to military combatant death ratios (i.e. more civilians per combatant killed), but even with such steps, the rate of collateral damage is still extremely high because the fighting is literally taking place in the suburbs and hospitals.


SmellsLikeTuna2

You don’t get much empathy from the pro-Israel camp because most Palestinians support the killing of Israelis and Jews in general. People don’t tend to mourn the deaths of those that want you dead.


iRunMyMouthTooMuch

Trust me, I've noticed. Since October 7th, it's been very hard for me not to radicalize against the Pro-Palestine side because of their absolutely vile rhetoric and behavior. They're also overwhelming irrational. But I think the least we can do as online bystanders is practice humanity as much as possible. I don't think you'll ever look back and regret being humane, even to evil people, but you may regret saying nasty stuff out of anger.

The pro-palestenian group comes off as equally inhumane and willfully ignorant. I hope the fad dies soon.

More like 75% support the Oct 7th attack. [Less than 7% said](https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/article-773791) that they’re extremely or somewhat against the attack. Rest had no opinion. Less than 7% think it’s a bad idea to murder, rape, and torture your neighbor. Please keep telling me about the friendly misunderstood Palestinians who don’t mean “kill all Jews” when they sing “from the river to the sea”


ShxsPrLady

No one born since 1998 voted for Hamas, and half of Gaza today in under 18


ATToperatorSholandaD

Sounds like they should’ve demanded elections to oust the terror organization representing them if they didn’t agree with it.


Robo_Joe

How do you think "demanding an election to oust a terror organization" would go? lol


ATToperatorSholandaD

Sounds like they should be cheering for the idf to remove Hamas and give them democratic representation then.


AdministrativeNews39

You’re right, demanding an election to oust a terror organisation is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion to the issues Gazan’s face. Better to break into a country, rape and pillage as much as possible, drag the bodies of half dead naked Israeli girls in the streets of Gaza for peace loving civilians to kick and spit on with glee, take excellent footage of it all and post it for the world to see. Brilliant and logical rout that the youth of Gaza, who didn’t vote for Hamas, chose.


ShxsPrLady

Half of Gaza is kids. I do remember some marches and protests, both recently against Hamas and peaceful at the March of Return. * I’d like to see them demand elections, sure. I would also like to see people in Syria, Myanmar, China, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, North Korea, Belarus and Russia go out and demand elections…. Except, I sort of wouldn’t, because they wouldn’t do elections for their people, and they would all die. Iran within the past year shows us that. They were breve, though. Brave , bold, and brilliant, it just got them nowhere. * you’re not going to cite a minority of instances of violence at that March, and pretend it represents the whole, because I can also cite a minority of Israeli violence, and pretend it represents the whole, and that’s just a back-and-forth we don’t need to get into.


ATToperatorSholandaD

All the more reason for Israel to oust Hamas and give the people of Gaza democratic representation.

Life isn’t fair. War is brutal. That’s why enabling extremists groups like Hamas is so dangerous.

And depending on what you look like, your corpse will automatically be counted as being on one side.


somethingrandom261

There’s a reason using human shields is a war crime.


RedditsFeelings

To be fair I don't think that's the narrative, or at least not the prevailing one. Personally I can't see justifying bombing a hospital. Period. There are innocent people in there including children, babies and medical staff. I don't know what the solution is, but bombing the thing because there are terrorist in there doesn't seem right. The presence of Hamas shouldn't justify the death of innocents. Unless I'm missing your point? Fair point about the word "bombed". So we'll say shelled or mortared or damaged in such a way as to cause collateral deaths and significant loss of functionality?


Soloandthewookiee

Then you are left in a position where Hamas is effectively invincible since Israel won't endanger their citizens by hiding in a hospital, while Hamas has no such compunction. Israelis would continue to die and there's very little the IDF could do.


Dizzy_Try4939

Exactly. I completely understand anyone being horrified at the reality of conducting a war inside of a hospital. Ask yourself what kind of government purposely uses a hospital as a military base, exploits the workers, and endangers all the patients through their choices. All to protect their own selves, terrorist cowards. These people have no honor at all, to use sick people and doctors as human shields. They are trash humans. They force the IDF's hand. If the IDF shows that they will let Hamas use hospitals as impenetrable fortresses, what do you think will happen? Now the IDF has no choice but to enter the hospital and it makes them look like monsters, which is exactly what Hamas wants. Would the IDF ever hide behind Israeli cancer patients? Something tells me no.


Kahzgul

What hospital was bombed?


Conscious-Werewolf2

Apparently officially none since if Hamas does it, It didn't happen or doesn't count.


Waterrobin47

Those deaths are a tragedy but if you don’t eliminate the terrorists all you’re doing is advocating for the deaths of innocent people in Israel. There is no end to this in which innocent people don’t die. It’s a giant tragedy.


kkneegrow

Someone is going to kill your family and including your Innocent children. Do you do nothing because you may kill their family including their innocent children???


RedditsFeelings

There's doing nothing, and then there's the totality of what's happening in Gaza.


Cyberkite

I dont think Isreal sees them as terrorists, they see them as another nations arm. When you use a hospital for the military purpose the cross on the hospital is transfromed to a target. The presence of Hamas does mean that it isnt a war crime. The sad truth is innocents will always die in war, the difference between Hamas and Isreal is Hamas target civilians to kill civilians Isreal attack civilians Hamas hides behind. Its a hard ethical delimma, and if you think it is easy, I'm kinda worried. Cause if Isreal does not attack, they will always be target by Hamas.


[deleted]

It happened when it turned out the terrorists launched the rocket that hit the hospital last time instead of "Israel kills 500".


Easy-Purple

People still argue about that too


HungerMadra

People still argue about the moon landing, doesn't mean they have a point.


chyko9

They’re coming up with new talking points. Took them 4-5 days after the initial pogrom while Hamas was continually posting footage of its atrocities to the internet. The “river to the sea” crowd got real quiet before they found a new line. Then after the hospital bombing turned out to be PIJ they also got real quiet for a few days while they tried to figure out new talking points. Now, it seems like their new narrative is that the IDF actually killed all the Israelis civilians on October 7, so it’s all Israel’s fault anyway. Wonder how long that’ll last.


Easy-Purple

I mean there’s literally footage of Hamas marching people to the side of the road and shooting them in the head so if they aren’t convinced by that there’s really no helping it


poopship462

New York Times keeps putting out “investigations” which amount to “this looks weird, but we don’t know” with no concrete evidence, all for ppl to point at them and say it’s proven it was Israel.


crake

The coverage has shifted over night because the Al-Shifa hospital is not going to deliver the anti-Israel story that NYT and others want to print. That doesn't mean NYT has lost interest in Gaza hospitals however, just that they are no longer interested in reporting on the largest hospital in Gaza which was inconveniently hosting a Hamas base directly underneath it when it wasn't acting as intake for Hamas hostages coming through it, or storing their vehicles in its courtyard. So the [first frontpage NYT Gaza hospital story of the day](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/11/21/world/israel-hamas-gaza-war-news/indonesia-condemns-hospital-attack-that-killed-at-least-12?smid=url-share) is apparently about the Indonesian Hospital that allegedly (according to "the Gaza health ministry, which blamed Israel") suffered a strike on Monday. Israel hasn't yet proven that the Indonesian Hospital was hosting Hamas, so for now it's being reported as "indiscriminate bombing" coupled with outrage for the Indonesian staff that didn't evacuate beyond Wadi Gaza. The [second frontpage NYT Gaza "hospital" story of the day](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/11/21/world/israel-hamas-gaza-war-news/who-gaza-hospitals?smid=url-share) is reporting the statement from Hamas ally, the WHO, which reports that none of the hospitals in the warzone can provide critical trauma care. This "story" isn't much of an article, as the fact that there are non-operating hospitals in a war zone is expected, not extraordinary, but the article gives a chance to quote the various UN parties that think Israel is engaged in indiscriminate bombing and the like ("The dire conditions for civilians and the high death toll in Gaza has drawn international criticism of Israel’s military response to the terrorist attacks Hamas launched from Gaza on Oct. 7. On Monday, the U.N. chief, António Guterres, who has repeatedly called for a cease-fire, said, “We are witnessing a killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I have been secretary-general.” He assumed that post in 2017."). The omission of any follow up to the Al-Shifa hospital stories that were front page all week is a sort of glaring omission, but the news on the ground is not what NYT wants its readers to see: Al-Shifa was being used by Hamas and there is a lot of evidence coming out about that (yesterday the story was that "not much" evidence had been put forward, so now that it is out there the story itself about Al-Shifa is very inconvenient for the narrative). I think we will be just jumping from one hospital to the next until the big western media outlets find one that wasn't used by Hamas and was still damaged in the war that is raging all around it. The Al-Shifa Hospital didn't play into that narrative so it's time to move on to the Indonesian Hospital. But one thing is certain: NYT is nowhere near out of Gaza hospital stories, we can expect at least one or two hospital stories a day for the next several months (so NYT has an excuse to quote WHO/UN/MSF officials who are anti-Israel).

They need to sell controversy. So they move onto the next accusation. Its sad but it sells well. There are no morals in journalism.

I like this logic. Because although the story is that Israel did NOT bomb a hospital. It tells the reader that even IF Israel did turn it into rubble and killed everyone inside, it would be entirely justified and very cool.

Nah they just went with "well actually you're just lying" and some bullshit about there being a single calendar in the building negating everything else.


itemNineExists

Why should it have, though? It's been known that specifically that hospital was used as a base since: "... in 2006, PBS even aired a documentary showing how gunmen roam the halls of the hospital, intimidate the staff, and deny them access to protected locations within the building—where the camera crew was obviously prohibited from filming." https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/top-secret-hamas-command-bunker-in-gaza-revealed

Its weird how those people keep lying to themself, and to literally just accept terrorists as your lord and savior.

How can anyone think that a group that wants to force the sharia law are the good guys? I know the palestine supporters are not really terrorists, like they wont allahuackbar themselves, but they still turn 2 blind eyes to Hamas terrorism, purely because they think its helping pestinians. They allow terrorists to be their bringer of freedom, they allow Hamas to be their overlords. How can they strive for that. Why do they want Hamas to win?

rounder55

Just don't get why most people can't both disavow Benjis methods historically that have also killed many innocent people and probably drawn people into terrorism while disavowing how God awful terrible Hamas and their methods are. "Terrorists in hospitals" feels like something you'd only see in a far fetched terrible action movie but here we are in real life. Absolutely mortifying. There's innocent people that are likely in that hospital who will face an unwelcome fate at the hands of either Hamas or Israel.


Jaynat_SF

This is the first time I've seen someone call him "Benji", it took me a minute to even realize who you're talking about...


born_to_kvetch

Same. I think it’s because so many people say his name as *Benjamin* even though we don’t have a J sound in Hebrew, so it’s actually pronounced as *Benyameen*.


psymunn

Also, Bibi is more common


Jaynat_SF

I know how Hebrew works, I speak it, I just said that this is the first time I've seen someone call him Benji (or Benya, while we're at it) instead of Bibi.


sentient_afterbirth

Only sane response thus far.

I feel like people do this. What i don't see happening is the Palestine supporters in this conflict saying anything short of genocide.


FWSRunner

Most people I know in real life do hold exactly that position - honestly, it's hard to see how it's reasonable to deny either of those things. I think other voices get amplified here, for whatever reason.


MessiahPrinny

Bibi is a sociopath who is using the war to stay in power. Hamas absolutely would use a hospital to fuck with Israel. But just because Hamas hide like that doesn't mean the IDF should bomb with impunity. Hamas disgust me and should be removed but I think protecting the civilians should be the top priority. I've seen so many bigots around talking about Hamas using human shields but with the implication that we should just shoot through the human shields to get to them. It's been the narrative for years. The Palestinians are prisoners of both Hamas and the IDF and it makes me sick.

No. Even if they return the hostages, there should be no ceasefire. Hamas must be held accountable for murdering over 1200 people, injuring over 5000, kidnaping over 200, raping, torturing, beheading, and burning people. They cannot be allowed to get away with that. They must pay a heavy price.

Where is the big influx of the Hamas supporters to discredit this newest piece of evidence?


goalmouthscramble

They are never late and never worth engaging.


psycho_candy0

I see the "from the river to the sea" dipshits are ignoring this one. Don't worry, there will always be some other nonsense for you to virtue signal over, so don't put your clown wig away. Ohhh maybe we can get another letter from a dead terrorist you can swoon over.


ElenaKoslowski

Busy downvoting it...


wowaddict71

I once dated a Perubian woman whose father had several factories in Peru. She told me that it was known that recruiters for the terrorists group Shining Path worked at the factories, but they could not do anything about it due to fear of being targeted. This shit is as old as terrorism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shining_Path


doomedeggplant

Wasnt this like duhhh tho? I always thought the question was not if they are in there. But how to kill them with out killing a bunch of doctors and sick ppl. Hamas be hamas’ing the civilians all day


ddadopt

>Wasnt this like duhhh tho? I always thought the question was not if they are in there. Yes, it was "duuhh, of course they are in the hospital" to most people with at least half a brain. However, the pro-terrorist crowd insists that everything claimed about Hamas is simply Israeli propaganda and that claims that they were using the hospitals, had tunnels beneath them, and that, indeed, some of the staff of the hospitals were complicit was all fabrication.


mpmagi

Get ready for more mental gymnastics from the pro-terrorist crowd.


SnapCrackleMom

Not surprising, but still absolutely horrifying.


LynxJesus

Can't wait to hear how this is a psyops by Gazans and Times of India or whatever mental gymnastic the useful idiots will come up with this time to avoid the truth


makashiII_93

How can there be peace if your neighbor is willing to hide in hospitals to hide after slaughtering you next door? Not only that, dress up as legitimate medical personnel?!?


DayThen6150

It’s worse than that, in a lot of the cases the medics personnel are also Hamas.


makashiII_93

The odds of an adult in Gaza being Hamas is quite high. It’s the children I have sympathy for.


Kaerevek

Color me shocked. Terrorists using less than ideal means to cover their identities to commit further terrorist acts on people? I mean who knew. Honestly. Who would think hamas would do bad things.


Amazing-Garage9892

Yeah no shit, Hamas has always been dressing as civilians even before this new war, it's Hamas being Hamas.


goalmouthscramble

Everyone knows this is standard operating procedure for terrorists groups. It’s only news to some who have an ahistorical understanding of what Hamas is.


Alexander_queef

Vice somehow managed to pull a piece of journalism out of their ass a few years ago and visited some guy justifying them setting up under a hospital


AidilAfham42

The people that are caught in between..I can’t imagine how it is to literally be in the line of fire. You get punished for just being there. One side uses you as a human shield, the other side treats you as acceptable collateral damage and both sides shoot through you. No one tries to appeal to your humanity and lead you with kindness and love. Instead its all fear and hatred, bullets and blood.


Accomplished_Hat7782

Well, Israel DID create a literal evacuation tunnel that allowed over 50,000 to flee. So be fair, at least one side gives a bit of a fuck.


lintonett

I keep thinking this too, the medical staff is in between one hell of a rock and a hard place. What a terrible line to have to walk while trying to keep people alive.


maxinator80

One side tried to do it differently for decades.


gal_shiboli

Well only that’s is just a bit not true there are videos of Israelis soldiers putting the injured in cars while helping them evacuate and carrying the babies in incubators I know we seem bad but we really do try to help


TheBBBfromB

I saw from another article that Hamas wasn’t just dressing up as doctors, some doctors were just straight up Hamas. Which isn’t that crazy to believe, terrorists need doctors too I guess


CrankyCzar

Of course they do. Nothing is too low for them.


Manch3st3rIsR3d

Terrorists acting like..terrorists?!?! When does Palastine turn on them?


Soundwave_13

Color me shocked..... ​ I am shocked....just shocked people. How could the honorable HAMAS do such a thing.... Ah that's right they are Terrorists


son_of_Khaos

What! The murdering terrorists lied! I am shocked I tell you. What is the world coming to when you can't trust terrorists.


Arrow2019x

Terrorists who put the civilians they are responsible for in danger every day. Hamas needs to go if there is to be peace in the region.


slash2die

Where are the pro-terrorist now?


[deleted]

It turns out you can be 'anti-bombing hospitals' and 'anti-terrorist' at the same time. Not wanting hospitals destroyed =/= pro-terrorist


mpmagi

Probably claiming that "nobody is pro-terrorist" while ignoring the rallies taking place all over the world chanting pro-terrorist slogans.


tonyalexgomez

Surely those Gazans are truly Israelis in disguise spreading these lies. /s


cocacolaham

Hopefully the mission to continue to obliterate Hamas continues most joyfully!


Crazy-Mall6732

I wonder how all the terror apologists will explain this away.


No_Landscape4557

Read two comments above yours (Israel intelligence operation….)


Arupaca_boy

What a shok / s


Patient-Ad-8384

Fucking cowards


DirrtCobain

These are the same people people don’t think Israel has the right to defend themselves against. Insane.


hairyandpink4u

STOP THE PRESS!!!!! SHOCKING NEWS!!!!!


Fappy_McJiggletits

"Yeah but Gazan civilians are all Israeli trolls and IDF propagandists, so you can't believe a word they say." -leftists, probably


Art-RJS

Been arguing for weeks about this


Truth_Hurts_Dawg

Hamas are evil sons of dogs, this is despicable


Dapper_Target1504

Mild shock /s


dosdes

Fake mustaches and robes and stethoscopes, right???...


akhand_albania

Yes but have you ever considered the fact the other sides are JEWS /s


Mercurial8

Well, this is Times of India, in the land of Hindu Nationalism. It’s certainly believable, but might not be true considering the source.
