      So, let the people posted up in the hospitals shoot you without returning fire?

        So you’re saying there’d be no violence if the Israeli military just stayed away from the hospital?

          Nah, the violence would find it’s way into Israel and a shit ton of civilians would be murdered. Remember October 7th when The IDF wasn’t near any hospitals in Gaza?

          I’m saying there wouldn’t be violence in hospitals if Hamas didn’t use hospitals as bases and firing platforms.

          There wouldn’t be any of this war happening if Hamas wasn’t full of monsters who do not value human lives.

          Imagine if Hamas just… Governed. Provided for their people. Shared some of the billions of dollars in their war chest to, you know, do what a government is supposed to do.

          Instead they openly admit to attempting to maximize civilian casualties because it generates support for them and criticism from Israel.

          Gazans are innocent civilians. Hamas is not. Hamas is a terrorist organization that runs Gaza like the mafia and steals from Gazans while also getting as many Gazans killed as.possible, intentionally.

            Take a look at the blockade (which happened before Hamas became in charge of Gaza) and say that again.

                So I know this is pointless, but I’ll bite.

                How do you expect a country that depends on trade with the outside world to make it when cut off from said trade? Israel killed the Gazan (and Palestinian at large, but Gazan in particular) economy in 2005/2006.

                  Any real government would have moved to normalize relations. In fact, the PA did exactly that, which is why Hamas performed their coup

                    Yeah, yeah, normalize relations, the magical thing you can do to make the genocidal government stop being genocidal and… granted Gaza the privilege of becoming like the West Bank (where they’re also being genocided).

                    How does Israeli dick feel like?

      That’s what they avoid doing, which is why Hamas sets bases up inside hospitals.

        They didn’t avoid doing it? That’s why the story was posted? If they were targeting Hamas, why were the majority of victims children? When they were snipers? Are Israeli snipers really just that shit?

            Does Red Crescent have a history that would make us disbelieve their claims in this situation? They didn’t do anything crazy like shoot at and kill innocent, unarmed people two years ago during the Great March of Return then attempt to cover it up by saying they were “human shields” after the fact, right? Because if an organization did something like that, it would be good reason to distrust future claims from that organization.

            Thankfully, googling “red crescent great march of return” doesn’t show them firing live rounds or tear gas canisters into crowds of peaceful, unarmed protestors, because imagine how bad it would look if you did something like that two years ago then tried to use the same excuse today for attacking a hospital!
