-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Dr Naji Nazzal said one of the men, who PIJ identified as its member, had been receiving treatment at the hospital since 25 October for a spinal injury which had left him paralysed.

The last paragraph showing one of the militants assassinated was paralyzed. :bbc-clap:

He had an rpg in his hospital bed, not innocent.

"A Hamas tunnel was suspected to be located under the patient's gurney."

He'd even rigged up an elaborate system of pulleys to operate it using only his teeth

hey if Superman could get around by blowing in a tube then surely a guy can shoot an rpg with his teeth

The BBC not stating in the headline that the Israelis dressed up as hospital staff is so telling

[–] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 59 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Also that the "Palestinian fighters" were patients

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 50 points 9 months ago

They were sleeping when executed, and one was already paralyzed.

But they were planning another imminent attack!

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They were confirmed by their militias to be fighters. But they were still paralyzed so I’m not sure what tactical goal was achieved. Seems like vengeance

[–] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I'm of the opinion if someone is hospitalized they're a patient first and anything else second. Israel cries that off duty soldiers were killed October 7 and yet are completely fine with summary executing hospital patients

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

"Palestinian militants, civilians, and attackers"

yeah just hide civilians in the middle of that phrase

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 68 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is crazy

sartre-pipe

spoilerNever believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

The true war crime was that the person who had been paralysed for months was hiding in a hospital. This forced the Israeli to do defensive war crimes to protect themselves.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 57 points 9 months ago

In a call of duty video game this would be some shit you'd do in no russian as the bad guy.

Unlimited hamas-red-triangle on the IOF.

Jesus fucking Christ. I think impersonating medical personnel was one of the few war crimes Israel hadn’t committed yet

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How the fuck do you even use optics to disguise this!? Like this is just blatent warcrimes done. Like yeah even if they were "enemy combatents" executing injured soldiers in a hospital in cold fuckin' blood is a violation of the Geneva conventions but yeah can't wait for every smug chud to the do the obvious "Geneva suggestions" joke. Fuck Israel, absolute evil country

I> How the fuck do you even use optics to disguise this!?

"Palestine isn't a recognized nation, thus the Geneva Conventions don't apply to them."

That's my guess, as funny enough there is a semi similar event in battletech lore where Liao used similar reasoning ("they didn't sign the Ares Connections, so thus it doesn't apply to them") when they went and nuked the Taurians at some point.

Now, how much would anyone buy that shit is left up in the air.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago

When you warcrime, you warcrime 110%! im-doing-my-part

[–] material_delinquent@hexbear.net 31 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

lmao at those suffering from baby murdering withdrawal and saying "what do you want Israel to do? Bomb the hospital instead? Surrender?" Yea, surrendering might be a start lol

For some reason the article from the Tory-controlled BBC doesn't mention the word "war crime". It does however have the following:

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the guardian of the Geneva Conventions which codify international humanitarian law, has expressed concern over the raid.

"Under international humanitarian law, hospitals and medical patients should be respected and protected at all times", the ICRC said, adding that it would raise the issue "as part of its confidential dialogue with the concerned authorities".

The use of the phrase "concern" leaves the casual reader with the impression that the illegal zionist entity just got a warning or that there is merely a difference of opinion and not a blatant war crime.

The anodyne language used by media, government and other bureaucracies is doing an amazing job of covering up the horror and wicked criminality of such acts. It is one of the more effective methods of propaganda employed.
