    Now that Israel just openly declares it is bombing and invading hospitals, the fog of war bullshit really doesn’t matter anymore.

    Maybe this one hospital strike was a rocket. What about all the other ones?

      Yeah, so maybe you’re right, maybe I did steal money from your purse, push grandma down the stairs when she got in my way, left the milk out over night, shit in Dad’s shoes while high on meth, smoked crack in the alley, slapped all my cousins alphabetically, poured cocaine on the dog, but I swear, I didn’t smoke crack in my bedroom and I don’t like being accused of things I didn’t do!

        They don’t routinely lie about it. They pre-drop little fliers that say “we’re about to bomb here; if you don’t want to die you better leave” and then they come back in a couple of days or weeks and bomb. What on Earth would they lie about? “Wow, a bomb went off right where we dropped leaflets saying it would, but it definitely wasn’t us.”

        The only bombing they actually did lie about is this one, where Hamas beefed a rocket launch and struck one of their own hospitals and Israel said “yeah, we were active in the zone” before anyone knew it wasn’t an Israeli weapon.

          I’ve never understood how dropping a flyer on someone’s house letting them know they’re going to be bombed stops Hamas. What’s stopping Hamas from fleeing as soon as they see the flyer?

          The only person then impacted by the bombing is the guy whose house you bombed.

            They are bombing areas where intelligence gather puts Hamas activity, safe houses and other assets that can’t easily be relocated. If Hamas tries to move military equipment,IDF is watching the area to strike when they come out in the open. If nobody leaves they strike the area as planned.

            If you knew your neighbor had a rocket launch system in his basement they you personally saw him firing off towards a nearby city, and for reasons we won’t discuss decided not to inform the authorities, and then one day woke up to your street being blanketed with fliers saying bombs were going to strike the location because of militant activity why would you stay?

            You can’t move a tunnel entrance. Hamas can run away, but they’re still going to get a building collapsed on top of the tunnel entrance.

          “I’m going to rob your house and shoot all your family in 2 hrs okay?” I know you are innocent people that’s why I told you I’ll kill you in few hours /s . Wtf is this logic in first place!? It’s terrorism.

          Plus, so many kids and families died under these bombs and found cut up under rubbles because Israel doesn’t even do that any more. Even before the war, they used to tell hospitals and huge residential buildings to evacuate in 1-2 hrs or be bombed. I can’t even get up to work in 1 hr notice let alone evacuate a house or a full building.

            “I’m going to rob your house and shoot all your family in 2 hrs okay?”

            They’re not going to rob it; they’re going to fucking bomb it, to achieve a military objective in a theater of war.

            It really sucks that your house is in a theater of war! It’s likely to be destroyed by the army you’re at war with. War has really unfortunate knock-on effects; I recommend not starting a war of extermination against your neighbors.

            Plus, so many kids and families died under these bombs and found cut up under rubbles because Israel doesn’t even do that any more.

            They still do it; it’s just that Palestinians would rather die and kill their entire families in Israeli bombing than preserve life. Palestinians believe their lives are without value unless they’re dying to kill Jews.

            The only explanation for why Palestinians continue to huddle under bombs they’re warned are coming is that they believe human life, including their own, is valueless. It’s a sick culture, a death cult, and Israel is defending itself against it.

            You absolutely could evacuate your house in an hour; Israel gives weeks. The huddle under the bombs regardless because they wish to die.

          The fact you’re getting downvoted so much is just another reminder how feelings matters more than facts to certain groups of people.

          All sides in this war suck but the constant dogpiling against Israel when Hamas uses child labor to dig their tunnels is telling of how people view this conflict.

      You’re right. The Israeli and US governments were telling the truth, for once. I bet that left a bad taste in their mouths.

      First it was obviously Israel that purposefully fired at the hospital and a huge deal, then it slowly changed to “doesn’t matter, it’s Israel’s fault anyway for starting the war”.

        Younger generation totally fine with Hamas attacking civilians but angry that Israel retaliated and attacked sites that launched rockets is pretty astounding.

        All up in arms that Palestinians are dying but not once asking why all the Palestinians were fine with Hamas digging tunnels and hiding military equipment in their backyards.

          No one is fine with Hamas causing the death of 1200 Israelis, and everyone called them terrorist organization that chose violence instead of diplomacy after being hopelessly seized for decades in an open-air prison. Similarly, Israel killed 13000+ which were mostly civilians including 5000+ children. How do you not understand that killing civilians is terrorism just like Hamas did? How do you not understand Israel kills more than 10 for every 1 Israeli killed? How do you not understand those humans have been living under oppressive occupying apartheid regime which generated those groups that chose violence? while Israel is the legitimized government supported by the world strongest countries which commits war crimes? On every type and magnitude of comparison, the IDF and Israel genocidal right wing government has committed more war crimes and are more evil than Hamas. The only solution is be a rational human and admit that they both should go. There will be no justice and Israel will still remain an oppressive occupying apartheid if Hamas disappeared and Israel government stayed the same.

            The death toll is tragic but the primary difference is that Hamas intentionally puts people in harms way, whether it actively taking human shields or passively by ensuring they operate in densely populated areas so any retaliation against them will have collateral damage. Palestinians know how Hamas operates, but do nothing about it and often give up some measure of support.

            IDF’s campaign has been reckless but they can at least put for evidence they were targeting Hamas assets. Hamas on the other hand specifically targets civilians because they want a high death count, they don’t care if they actually inflict damage to the IDF because their entire goal is try to create enough civil unrest that every palestinian will take up arms and riot until Israel ceases to exist. If Hamas actually cared about the Palestinian people, they wouldn’t operate the way they would, they would not have used child labor to build their tunnels, and they would not be using human shields and otherwise encouraging palestinians noncombatants to gather in areas they operate.

            If there was no Hamas, or at least a Hamas that gave a shit about the people they supposedly represent, the death toll of this conflict would be a small faction of what it is. And Israel doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring Hamas targets that intentionally surround themselves with noncombatants, because the next week 10 more just like it will pop up and cause even more death and destruction. And all the violence Hamas causes makes it harder for the international community to do anything to demilitarize Israel because the right to self defense. All Hamas has to do is toss away their weapons and blend back into the community or return to their homelands, as much like the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan, much of their membership comes from other territories in the middle east with very few actually native Palestinians. Compare to Israel, who any attempt at disarmament would be taken advantage of by Hamas to carry out their very vocal desire to genocide all of Israel.

            So your suggestion is that Israel should just roll over and die, or 100% of their population emigrate somewhere else? Who would take them? Where would they go? They have no other options save fight for their right to exist.

              Show this comment to your IDF supervisor so he knows you’re working well spreading debunked bullshit. I can literally disaprove every line you used in your arguments from using civilians as shields, to Israel targeting Hamas yet over %70 of deaths were women and children, to the lies of palestinians rejecting to have their own state, to if Hamas was gone there will be peace but Israel would still remain an ethnix xlensing aprthied,…, to their end goal of killing every jew while Israel is the one with that exact propaganda and is the one actually doing it… I don’t have time. You want to be a genocidal nazi at least just admit it so we know how to talk with you but I cannot argue when you bring me lies and bullshit about how good people these occupying aparthied children-killer IDF are. The facts show that the IDF are genocidal terrorists worse than Hamas and only evil Arab dictatorships are siding with them.

              Everyone is asking for less bloodshed and no more killing civilians. Israel killed more civilians in this last war than Russia and Ukraine war. They dropped more bombs than the US did on Afganistan and Iraq. You have 1% accuracy killing 100 civilians every time you kill 1 Hamas member. What right to defend is that? Get off your airplanes and fight them man to man on the ground you child-murdering genocidal cowards. And what type of war does a nation have where on the first day they can cut fuel, water, elctricity and food from the people they’re fighting and they call this war? Right to exist doesn’t mean occupying illegal lands, killing and ethnic clensing people of where in the country before you. Israel government are gusting inhumane terrorirsts.

    HRW may very well be right here, but if the only investigation the police does after a homicide is talk to some witnesses… but you know, never actually check for fingerprints, or in this case… analyze fragments from the rocket, then I’m not going to go all in and say that they’ve done much of a report. How convenient that people act like this is all the proof they need without even reading what they actually examined.

      Because the truth and facts matter when discussing moral responsibility. It doesn’t absolve Israel of other acts of war harming civilians. But this matters when discussing Hamas’s responsibility over the death of Gaza civilians.

        You will all nitpick minor details and put those who are oppressed (the Palestinians) over hot fiery coals for being potentially wrong whilst never laying a single ounce of doubt or blame on Israel, the ones conducting a god damn ethnic cleansing. I’m sorry I don’t really care about arguing over this one specific instance of horror, (that which I never personally said was Israels fault by the way) when there are many thousands upon thousands of other instances that Israel boasts about murdering innocent people.

        Nitpick all you want, but all of you are just pathetic if this is the tiny sad ant hill you die on while real people die.

      Don’t you bother to ask what happened to 1000 misfired rockets from Gaza?

      (1200 something confirmed misfires from IDF, and almost 800 something from a twitch streaming bots that were scraping al Jazeera cams etc, some independent new reports on these too). Let’s just say 200 rockets, don’t you wonder where they landed and what happened?

          No, I’m not talking about missiles from Gaza to Israel. I’m talking about Hamas missiles that fell in Gaza. Recently they have reached over 10k launches towards Israel, doesn’t that make you curious to know how much destruction they caused themselves?

            Israel’s Iron Dome takes care of the vast majority of Hamas rockets, as almost every report out of Israel can verify.
