The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has now weighed in on the hospital situation in northern Gaza.

In a statement, it warned that hospitals in the Palestinian enclave have "reached a point of no return", risking the lives of thousands of people.

The ICRC said its staff attempting to deliver medical supplies had witnessed "horrendous" scenes, and described the destruction as "unbearable".

It also highlighted attacks on children's hospitals, including Al-Rantisi, which we've been reporting on today, saying they had "not been spared from violence."

The humanitarian organisation, which is the guardian of the Geneva Conventions, repeated its demand that hospitals and healthcare workers, under international law, must be protected.

From laughter after reading your tripe

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Because innocent women and children dying is so funny to you?

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Because your idiocy is so funny to me. You have no applicable life experience and have to lay out your sympathy cards just to create a sentence

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m an idiot because I think innocent women and children getting killed is a bad thing? What “life experience” are you even talking about?

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Do you get a prize for the number of times you write "women and children"?

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Makes it hard to keep ignoring them, doesn’t it?

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

No I ignore it just fine. I just marvel at your lack of language and thought.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

If I lacked language and thought, I wouldn’t have gotten you to admit that you’re ignoring the killings of innocent women and children. 

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

There's some twisted self serving logic. CONGRATS.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Twisted logic like ignoring the deaths of innocent women and children so you can excuse the Israelis bombing hospitals?

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Now you're getting repetitive and boring. See ya.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Not so funny when you can’t ignore all the dead women and children, is it?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Every time you get push back you run away. You're a troll and not a very good one at that.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Oh so you're not being repetitive and boring?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, have a look at usernames before you pop off bud.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Oh so this is another conversation you butted into. Are you following me around?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mmm. Or you're a very prolific troll that I can't help but notice as I'm reading comments. But no no, everyone is after you.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Then I'm a troll that you pursue like a neighborhood stalker, I see.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If that makes you feel important, sure feel free to think it. Or would you rather me actually follow you, it wouldn't be harassment if you're inviting me to do so.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

No, actually I'm measuring how much of a pain in the ass you are before I spend any more time responding to you

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Boo boo, we all know when you get pushback you run away, if you finna scared bitch about it at least be an honest scared bitch.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

You seem to think I'm afraid of you. I suppose that makes you feel important, but I not. You are getting rather boring, though.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not if me, of reality boss. You run from it like a child from the dentist.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

You wouldn't know reality if it slapped you in the face.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh really? Please, try to slap me with reality.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Meh i find it amusing to fuck with them back, sorta fire with fire

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Fair I just don't see them doing anything but being crazier

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's half the fun. Speak at them and not to them for hundreds of comments and they tend to blank their profile and dipset because tedious douchebaggery is a powerful weapon.

[-] braxy29@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

there's no "applicable life experience" that justifies genocide.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

If it really was genocide, why has the population of Gaza increased by 100% in the last decade? Shouldn't that number go down?

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Since the breakout of the war, it’s gone down by over 10,000, 40% have been innocent women and children.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Couldn't answer the question. War is war, and innocents die, but 5hat doesn't make it genocide.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I literally answered— unless you ignore the killings of innocent women and children,, and it also meets several of the conditions of the UN’s definition of genocide.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

No you didn't. You deflected and didn't answer the question. You can try again. If genocide, how has Palestinian population grown by 100%?

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Once again: since the outbreak of the war, the population has decreased by over 10,000, 40% of which are innocent women and children, and it also meets several of the conditions of the UN’s definition of genocide.

Just because you don’t like the answer doesn’t mean I didn’t give you one.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

But that isn't genocide.

Genocide is the "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". People die in war. Sad fact. But, that doesn't mean it meets the criteria of genocide.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Only if you ignore the rest of the conditions in the definition:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

a. Killing members of the group;

b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, but everybody is a member of a group. Since that is your definition is used that for the rest of your criteria, this doesn't make much sense.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s not my definition, the the UN’s definition— and it makes sense when you don’t ignore the facts, such as the deaths of innocent women and children, which, btw, also make it a war crime.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

The UN can't even say that the Hamas massacre was wrong. China and Russia voted no, but, go ahead and use them if it suits your purpose. It would never make it through criminal court and you dilute a very important word.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

First of all, I gave you facts. Secondly,, i have a long list of nightmares and if you want to invoke my sympathy you best do better than repeat "women and children" ad nausium.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You ignored facts, and I’m not here to appeal to your sympathy. And if you don’t like being reminded of the women and children who’ve been killed, too bad.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

So you dont have much and you'll continue to spout BS. Don't need to spend time with you. See ya.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve backed up my claims with evidence— again, which you continue to ignore. Just like the dead women and children.

And you’ve already spent more than a day arguing in circles about it.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It is.

It is exactly genocide, intent isn't a requirement, it's an enhancement.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because children without parents fuck a lot. Go figure.
