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.

Because that's where Hamas is?

Not being sarcastic. Hamas puts tunnels around hospitals. When they pop out of them and shoot at Israelis WTF do you want them to do? Shooting back is a good idea.

[-] BMatthew@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

I want them to not bomb kids. Bombing kids is what terrorists do. If you want to kill someone in a tunnel, go in the tunnel. You don’t bomb kids. You don’t bomb hospitals.

Aside from the the fact that it's unproven and disputed by the ICRC and doctors there are around 20000 civilians taking shelter in the hospital. Even assuming they are there as human shields that doesn't give Israel licence to kill indiscriminately.

Israel is deliberately targeting civilians as part of its Dahiya Doctrine of excessive force and coming up with flimsy excuses which Western media accepts as gospel.

I've seen video. Its proven by my ly'in eyes. Take your BS somewhere else.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Fuck off Zionist psychopath.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Ah, a true intellectual...

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

There's literally no evidence of it your eyes cannot have seen that which doesn't exist.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Actually, I've seen secondaries when the IDF blows tunnels near a hospital. So,

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and tastes of rainbow sherbet.

Somehow you have proof of something the entire world would live to have but wait.... We'll all have to trust you the random Internet douchebag with too much confidence and a shitty attitude.

We call that an anecdote, you need supporting evidence which we all know you do not have.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Your entire world is you and the people who agree with you. People that don't are not part of your world. Open source intelligence is a thing.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Not at all babe, similarly that was a terrible attempt at gaslighting. Do better.

Indeed it is, I can't help but notice you didn't provide any intelligence and I bet if I get into it your ip isn't now nor has it ever likely been in the area of the Levant point blank period.

Amusingly stupid.

You link Israeli strikes and go "look things explode when you drop bombs on them! That's proof!"

You somehow think Israel, the country that makes the chains and refuses to substantiate them aren't aware of your publicly posted Twitter videos..... That an entire planet focused on the conflict somehow haven't analyzed the claims and relevant videos.... But you some douchebag on the Internet know better than all of them....

Get a job, if you finna troll do better.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Sigh... the secondaries are proof that something explosive was his. Could it be rockets? Which is what I said before you butted into the conversation

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Well I'm glad I've gotten your military opinion. Remind me again what your qualifications are? Gunna go ahead and bet it's not asymmetric warfare, eod, or munitions.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Common sense opion. Asymmetric warfare? I think you need to read the definition

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_warfare

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The definition that directly describes this "war" and iirc actually references it in the sources.

Ed

The ongoing conflict between Israel and some Palestinian organizations (such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad) is a classic case of asymmetric warfare. Israel has a powerful army, air force and navy, while the Palestinian organizations have no access to large-scale military equipment with which to conduct operations;[41] instead, they utilize asymmetric tactics, such as knife attacks, small gunfights, cross-border sniping, rocket attacks,[42] and suicide bombings.[43][44]

You dumb.

I'm sure they'll find all the Hamas people under the bodies of the dead kids any day now.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

If Hamas was in those hospitals there would still be no moral reason to bomb the civilians in it to dust.

The "human shields" excuse zionists use only proves that they simply don't value civilian life because they're admitting that the so called extremist savages of Hamas overestimated Israel's willingness to protect noncombatant Palestinian lives.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

I believe this article is about shooting, not bombing.
