JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.

    And also because Hamas is using Hospitals as base of operations because they will get sympathy for it and human shields. No side is right here

      You really think using human shields is really a good excuse to bomb hospitals. “they’re using hostages! Quick teach those hostages a goddamn guided 2000lb lesson!”

      Can you please reread what you just said? You’re saying it’s okay to kill children and innocent people in order to kill someone else you actually want to kill?

            According to international law they are. If they shoot from a school, Israel has to shoot back. Do they are forcing their hand

              Could you cite that law for me? Because last I checked there is no such law forcing Isreal to shoot back, school or otherwise.

              Intentionally bombing civilians is a war crime. I don’t care how many of your “intended targets” you think you’re getting. If you are bombing civilian centers, like, oh let’s say a hospital for instance, then you are a war criminal, Full stop. There is nothing forcing Isreal to do that.

          So, if Hamas hid in a Israeli hospital would it be justifiable to bomb it?

      • Hamas must be completely eliminated, period. No cost is too great, for the good of the entire world and all its future children.

        Please explain your strategy which accomplishes that goal while not harming the human shields they’re using, and collect your Nobel Peace Prize.
