Earlier, the BBC’s Rushdi Abualouf reported that a contact still inside Gaza City’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, had told him 170 bodies were being buried in a mass grave there....
If the hospital is a military base, it makes sense that supplies would be cut off to it.
There’s no way to escape the fact that war is terrible. But we do have things called the rules of war which brings the horrible nature of it down a couple notches. Driving around military forces under a red cross is a war crime, pure and simple, for exactly this reason - if a military force doesn’t have the honor to respect the sanctity of lifesaving medical care, then they’re going to make every medical center into a potential target for attack.
I am not a fan of everything Israel has done, but they’re clearly the better people in this scenario.
Not if it is also a hospital. Then cutting off supplies is fucking disgusting
And necessary. This is why turning hospitals into military bases is a war crime. If you’re offended at military actions taken against hospitals, talk to Hamas about it.
They are doing a genocide
See, you’re deluding yourself into pretending they’re genocidal. That’s the difference here. I live in reality.
Dude they did a fucking video tour of a military base built into a hospital, do you seriously not know anything at all about this topic?
Also no they’re not the better perks here, they’ve killed ten times as many civilians
You say this as of Hamas’s casualty figures they relate via the Gaza health ministry mean anything. Hell, they probably include the people Hamas has killed to prevent them from fleeing the conflict zone.
The question was pretty stupid, but I thought I’d still answer it. There’s no way a foreign power would be able to build a hostile military base on US soil

Dude they have been having a huge population boom for a long time. Population growth rate is 2% per year. PER YEAR.
Secondarily, I’m interested to hear how you justify calling Hamas genocidal without making the same observation about the Likud and Netanyahu.
Likud and Netanyahu are far right nationalists. In that sense, they’re like Hamas. I am not a fan of them. The difference is what they’re willing to do to promote the interests of their state. Netanyahu and Likud have lines they won’t cross, Hamas doesn’t. If Netanyahu was as deranged as Hamas, they’d nuke Gaza and just go in and slaughter the population. I am glad they have those lines.
Well, since Israel is the party which is defending itself, they have the right to go after Hamas. And since Hamas hides among civilians, if the civilians of Gaza get tired of falling victim to collateral damage, they should talk to Hamas about it.
They’re the ones with control over the course of the war and how long it will take before it ends. They are the ones who control how many Palestinians die, at least until and unless Palestinians get tired of falling victim to the violence Hamas inflicts on them and does something about them.
Well, I would say as few as reasonably possible to eliminate Hamas.
If Israel was mass murdering people, this would be very, very different. We don’t know how many people have died, but we do know that Israel has been taking significant steps to avoid collateral damage, and we know that has been frustrated by war crimes perpetrated by Hamas (using ambulances as military transport, using hospitals as military bases, shooting civilians who try to leave the conflict zone) so I’m not sure what you want for me.
I want Israel to take reasonable actions to limit civilian casualties while they prosecute the war against Hamas which Hamas started and is continuing. I want that war to end immediately, but I recognize it can only reasonably end with either Hamas surrendering or Hamas being degraded past the point of it being a threat.
The 1948 war was started by Arabs who rejected the partition plan. Israel won that. Vae victis, don’t start wars if you’re not prepared to deal with the consequences.
You’re right that Israel has been stealing land - in the West Bank, via illegal settlements. They should withdraw those settlers, but it is irrelevant to the issue of Hamas because the last settlements in Gaza were demolished in 2005.
I’m not pro Israel. What I am is someone who is anti Hamas, and I’m not going to pretend that the Israelis are chuckling monsters who enjoy murdering babies for the fun of it.
