            Running a military operation out of a hospital makes it a valid target.

            Based on who though

              Are you suggesting that human shields have more value than the people who is being mortally attacked from behind the shields?

                  I don’t agree with that nice sounding platitude. Terrorists and pedophiles lives don’t have the same worth as a nobel price winner to society.

                    Wonderful example, considering anybody can be nominated and win a Nobel peace prize, including people guilty of ethnic cleansing.

                    That’s a moral judgment. Worth has nothing to do with it.

                    All things, by virtue of their existence, have equal worth.

            So if a bank robber took a cashier as a hostage, you’d suggest to just shoot the hostage, to get to the bank robber?

              Comparing actions being taken in a war being fought over an area larger than that of Delaware to that of a bank robbery is too reductionist to give any sort of meaningful response to.

                  War fucking sucks, and sometimes the only way to save 10,000 lives is to end 100. Every country has limited resources to deal with hostage situations in active warzones.

                    The thing though is, that this is not the case with IDF. They have plenty resources, enough to be selling to the rest of the world actually, and they are not preventing an impending attack. It seems like their motives are somewhere else

        Let’s tell a story…

        Imagine for a moment, if you will, the United States in the present day. Imagine a bill reaches the US House of Representatives called “America the nation state of white people”. In its basic principles it states “the right to exercise National self-determination in the United States is unique to white people”. Further down a clause for White Settlement “the state views the development of White Settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation”.

        Outraged a coalition led by the Congressional Black Caucus initiates a challenge to the bill and proposes a bill of their own where it calls the United States “a country for all its citizens” but the speaker of the house unilaterally disqualifies the bill before it’s allowed to even be debated.

        The house General counsel explains in a statement the bill includes several articles that are meant to “alter the character of the United States from the nation state of white people to a state in which there is equal status from the point of view of nationality for whites and people of color” the bill is dead.

        “America the nation state of white people” passes through both chambers of Congress unchallenged it’s then signed into law.

        US President Joe Biden would invoke the law in a tweet a year later saying “America is not a state of all its citizens according to the nation state law we passed America is the nation state of white people and not anyone else” As one Rights group put it “there is no Democratic constitution in the world that designates the Constitutional identity of the state on racial grounds as serving one ethnic group”. There is now this disconcerting scenario, it is anything but imaginary.

        It’s completely real and happened just a few years ago to little coverage and little condemnation in Israel.

        That is who you are defending, like a golem set to task by its master, thoughtless and without morals.

        Says Israel with no evidence. Every single international aid NGO active in the area denies it.
