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.

Yes but you obviously don't understand what it means. How could secondary explosions be the result of asymmetrical warfare? Fact is Hamas stores rockets in tunnels near Hospitals. If they were actual a state with a professional army I guess they wouldn't have to, but that seems besides the point.

Oh you're adorable, you speak like you understand war but don't get how asymmetric warfare is relevant, similarly no one said a secondary explosion is the result of assymetry...

Sure, perhaps we've not seen it and there's no proof Israel is willing to provide. That is however the result of asymmetric warfare. If you can't build a bunker you gotta find somewhere safe to store things.

Fun thought experiment, proto Israeli terrorists took part in a civilian bombing campaign starting in 1946. Take a guess where weapons and supplies were routinely found.

You seriously have a problem. You can't even note that the clips are from a Palestinian point of view. That bunker, as you call it, is close to a hospital and before you butted in that was the 0oint of contention. The bottom clip shows hamas shooting at peo0le they use as human shields. Both of these things are against the rules of war asymmetrical or not.

I don't care who filmed them.

Your first video shows a series of explosions, some of which you claim inexpertly to be secondary explosions though no actual effort has to my knowledge supported that claim.

You're second isn't even from Palestine or Israel, not was it actually even Hamas which it says in the video lol.

The third clip shows a shooting but you very specifically don't see who's shooting and Palestinians have claimed isrealis are killing them as they leave while Israel admits to intentional hospital and school bombings, funny how that works.

The Geneva convention doesn't apply, Israel and Palestine never signed it and insurgencies aren't covered by it anyway. It's just shitty morally just admit 100x worse on Israels part given they've killed about 14000 non combatants compared to their 1400.

Stop simping for a government that would happily murder you.

Finally a bit of truth.

There's more than the Geneva convention.

Stop simping for a government that would happily murder you.

I'm sure Hamas would throw you off a bridge before anything would happen to me.

Oh id love to know how that's a bad thing. Are you implying I should be biased towards who films what rather than the content?

Sure, none apply to insurgencies.

No doubt they would homie, I fuckin hate them both and I'm very vocal about it. Whereas I think you'd probably shuck and jive to whomever benefits you the most.

Thanks for calling me a... STAR.

  • not really caring about fact or logic..

You haven't provided any, you've provided by your own admission anecdote and opinion.

I'll block you sometime in the future so I don't have to spend any more time on you,

You actually think that's a punishment? Cute.
