Then you disagree with international law and common sense. If my siblings are killed with a rocket that targeted a hospital turned a weapon silo, I would blame those who put the weapons there, not those who launched the rocket.
- phatfish 2y agoObviously Hamas are responsible for the hospital becoming a target. But there is version of this where weapons at the hospital are removed by force, without bombing it.
- mhb 2y agoYeah, but it's a magical version in an imaginary realm.
- phatfish 2y agoProtecting a few key humanitarian sites from bombing doesn't seem impossible if there was a will to do so.
- mhb 2y agoMaybe you can explain how you envision that working.
- phatfish 2y agoThe Israeli army would use their miliary assets on the ground. They invaded and established a temporary occupying force to deal with Hamas, so resources other than air are available. The air force can hit the targets required around the hospital to allow an easier time for ground forces. Reach the hospital, and use those ground forces to secure it.
- mhb 2y agoThey already use ground assets. Your plan needs more detail. When the IDF ground forces enter a hospital hallway where Hamas terrorists have positioned hostages in front of them and behind them, what should the IDF do? N.B.: the terrorists are shooting at them.

- mhb 2y agoWhat do you imagine that demonstrates aside from that it is possible for mistakes to occur? Especially when you're fighting an enemy for whom it is an advantage for you to kill its own population for the propaganda value.
- alan-hn 2y agoIt shows that it doesn't matter where the hostages are because they'll just shoot at everyone anyways
- mhb 2y agoI hope you think enough of yourself to realize that that reasoning is not worthy of you.
- alan-hn 2y agoAnd what makes you think the IDF is so discerning in their targets? They attacked the USS Liberty with the intention of killing everyone aboard knowing it was a US vessel and they've been continuously killing tens of thousands of women and children, they also purposely target and kill journalists
- golergka 2y ago> But there is version of this where weapons at the hospital are removed by force, without bombing it. Version A (what happens now): Israel calls everybody in the vicinity of the hospital, gives them time to evacuate. Then Israel strikes the hospital with a missile without a warhead. Then Israel actually bombs it. Version B (what you suggest): IDF storms in with guns blazing. What version, in your opinion, will result in more civilian deaths?
- worik 2y agoTwo things: 1. In many cases whole Gazen families have bee killed in their homes. 2. I always blame those giving orders. On both sides.
