    Why would you build your military headquarters under a civilian hospital? That clearly shows total disregard for innocent civilians right?

    Iā€™m finding it hard to understand. People seem to be upset because Israel donā€™t care about innocent Palestinians. Yet Hamas the people who Israel are targeting very clearly donā€™t care about innocent Palestinians either?

      Every modern city has a tunnel system. There is no evidence other than IDF assertions that HAMAS was operating command centers from the hospitals.

        It seems incredibly stupid in the face of international pressure for Israel to actively target a hospital unless it truly believed Hamas was hiding there. What possible benefit would it do Israel to simply target a civilian hospital?

          Yes it was incredibly stupid. But nobody important really looked into these claims in previous conflicts. So Israel thought they were going to get the same treatment this time. All it was ever going to take was actual investigative journalism to blow this rotten can of worms open. And satellite imagery showing entire neighborhoods being leveled makes for a great motivator to investigate.

          Edit to add - the benefit, to further the genocide. Hospitals both treat injuries and count the dead. Two things a genocidal power does not want happening.

      Just stop. Unless looking like an asshat is your goal. In that case just fucking stop.
