Not the first time Israel bombs a hospital with large casualties in order to kill journalists. They've being quite brazen about it, too. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-strike-gaza-hospital-kills-wounded-journalist-2025-05-13/ https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-strike-gaz... https://www.thejournal.ie/israel-strikes-gaza-hospital-killing-179th-journalist-of-current-conflict-6703842-May2025/ https://www.thejournal.ie/israel-strikes-gaza-hospital-killi...

  > because.. you're the imaginary sky-dweller's chosen people ... and you have a military juggernaught, with some occasional need of geopolitical destabilization backing you for decades. Israel has amassed so much hatred towards them in the region, without western military support, i guess, their fate would be sealed. I wonder if any kind of reconciliation politics could change that. If not, the only way for them is slowly forward in their eradication campaign.

    I don't know if it's a positive, but at least the hypocrisy of people^W the ruling opressors saying "the world needs to be run with rules" has been exposed: https://archive.is/jpZGZ https://archive.is/jpZGZ .. It's probably not, now we're down^W further down a path where might is right, and if anyone's got the need, they'll shoot your head off for that food in your hand. I toured the United Nations HQ a few years ago, they even have the words on their wall of their secretary general Dag Hammarskjöld's words of "The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell". But nowadays it feels like, why even bother anymore?

    Ah, a green account with negative points engaging only to defend Israel's genocide by whataboutism and playing the victim card. Israel is doing a genocide, an ethnic cleasing, similar to the Holocaust which was also a genocide and ethnic cleansing. Does the parallel seem enough for you?

> Associated Press reporting into an Israeli attack on a Gaza Strip hospital that killed 22 people, including five journalists, raises serious questions about Israel’s rationale for the strikes and the way they were carried out. This assumes that Israel is acting rationally. It doesn't, there's nothing rational about this.

  What is irrational about wanting to remove a hostile force on your borders when said hostile force has stated that it's goal is the destruction of your state? Israel has certainly made mistakes, but it is not acting irrationally.

      The total isn't really meaningful without knowing what fraction are combatants.
      - ofcourseyoudo 1y ago
        what fraction would you find morally acceptable?
        dlubarov 1y ago
        What would be the point of discussing what number might be acceptable, when we don't know the number for this conflict?
        dudefeliciano 1y ago
        Initially they estimated 25000 fighters, then 40000, now 50000. So yea there is no point in discusing, as you and most supporters will accept any number the israeli government puts out, apparently

I like how it is flagged for no reason. Even more reason for us to keep talking about it since the technologies Israeli use to do the genocide are pretty impressive for us in Hacker News.
