Targeting hospitals has a specific end goal.

[-] steventhedev@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago

The hospitals will be a bloodbath.

Somewhere between 40k-50k civilians taking shelter with Hamas preventing them from fleeing, and Israeli forces who believe there are Hamas and tunnels underneath the hospitals.

There are already reports of Hamas shooting at Gazan civilians trying to flee the hospitals. I wouldn't put it past Hamas to just try to up the body count intentionally.

can you link me to the sources about hamas preventing people from leaving the hospital?

[-] 1smoothcriminal@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

from what i see the source, Netenyahu.

I will keep my opinions to myself but i would say that it should be taken with a grain of salt unless verified by unbiased new agencies.

Israeli forces who believe there are Hamas and tunnels underneath the hospitals.

They say that, but by now people are unsure that's the real reason they're attacking hospitals.

[+] steventhedev@lemmy.world -6 points 7 months ago

What do you think the real reason is?

[-] guriinii@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

To kill Palestinians and render Gaza unlivable.

[-] steventhedev@lemmy.world -4 points 7 months ago

So you believe they are using the hospitals as a cover story to kill all the people sheltering there?

[-] guriinii@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

I believe that if Israel wanted to get rid of Hamas and rescue the hostages they would have done it with minimal casualties. They're using the Hamas are hiding amongst the people with western governments and media to make as an excuse. When they have very vocally stated their genocidal intent.

It's incredibly dubious when they bomb literally everything. Were Hamas hiding in small fishing boats, in an equestrian center, in an olive grove, in bakeries, in UN schools? They've displaced 1.6 million people and according to Euro-Med human rights organisation killed 14,000 people.

And what about the Occupied West Bank are Hamas hiding there too?

None of this is legal or morally justifiable. It's bunch of supremacist colonial settlers ethnically cleansing the land. An Israeli minister said today that Beirut is next. Bunch of racist fascists

Jesus fuck dude. That's dark.

Silver lining is that the UN are saying only 11k have died so far.

Also, there are plenty of Hamas members in the west bank..

[-] guriinii@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Support for Hamas is the minority in Gaza.

It's a silver lining that Israelis have committed genocide to ONLY 11k? That's gross. The UN don't count those missing under the rubble, Euro-Med do.

I don't know man, bombing hospitals filed with civilians isn't really a good look as a nation.

[-] joenforcer@midwest.social 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

As of right now, nobody in a position of power is holding them accountable, and sadly, I doubt anyone will.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

"They" as in Isreal, no. "they" as in Kahanites, yes. Remember von Papen is currently Prime Minister, luckily they'll be running against a wall next elections no matter what.

Who said what ?

The US investigated their friend and everything is in order.

Read the title

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The largest hospital in Gaza, where up to 50,000 people are sheltering, is facing bombardment, the World Health Organization has said, as the US’s top diplomat said “far too many Palestinians have been killed” in the war.

The bombardment came as the territory’s precarious health system struggled to cope with thousands of people wounded or displaced in Israel’s war against Hamas militants.

Graphic daytime videos posted online appeared to show screaming and bloodied people, including children, in the grounds of al-Shifa hospital in the heart of Gaza City.

The Palestinian Red Cross said Israeli snipers shot at al-Quds hospital, to the south of Gaza City, and that there were violent clashes, with one person killed and 28 wounded, most of them children.

An examination of IDF operational systems indicates that a misfired projectile launched by terrorist organisations inside the Gaza Strip hit the Shifa hospital.

“With ongoing strikes and fighting nearby [Shifa], we are gravely concerned about the wellbeing of thousands of civilians there, many children among them, seeking medical care and shelter,” Human Rights Watch said online.
