As has been pointed out Hamas store weapons in hospitals so Israel has little choice but to attack hospitals. If Hamas didn't want their people killed they would not store weapons there and they wouldn't launch attacks from inside civilian areas. They are the ones that violate the GC every time they fire a rocket. Israel has the absolute right to retaliate once the rocket is fired.
Where can Hamas store their weapons Ken??
There just isn't anywhere outside of populated areas because it's sooo densely populated.
I agree, Hamas violate the GC every time they fire a rocket.
But there again, so do Israel by not keeping retaliation in proportion.
Israel also attack civilian places that have been pointed out to them that Hamas do NOT occupy.
What's more, the IDF have been given some very precise coordinates but Israel still attack innocent civilians. [8|]
So who is violating the GC more than the other??
You Americans swallow the Israeli PR shit hook line and sinker and the arm holding the rod!! [:D]
It is a fact that Israel has destroyed one hospital completely and damaged others severely with air and artillery attacks. I imagine most if not all of us have seen the footage of devastated hospital buildings.
The Israelis claim that Hamas uses hospitals to store arms. I haven't seen any evidence to support this claim. AFAIK, Israel hasn't released any. We should also note that initially Israel tried to blame Hamas rockets "falling short" for the attack on the Al-Wafa hospital before accepting that Israel carried out the attack. I have seen statements from the hospitals denying categorically that Hamas is using them as arms dumps or sites for launching rockets.
We should note that the Israeli claims are from the same source that insisted Hamas is using human shields when all the independent evidence points to the contrary, as posted and linked above. We should note that DK parroted these false claims without offering any evidence independent or otherwise in support of his claims. We should also note that, to date, DK has offered zero evidence to support his claim that Hamas is using hospitals as arms dumps/launching sites. So we only have DK's unsupported word for it. Hardly an independent and most definitely not a reliable source.
Unless Israel can produce some compelling evidence to support its claims, is there any reason why these gruesome attacks should not be considered as outright war crimes? Imagine the outcry if a Hamas rocket landed on an Israeli hospital. The Israelis go ballistic and they would would have every justification to do so.
The world has every right to go ballistic at Israel for attacking hospitals unless it can produce evidence to support its claims. Unless there is compelling evidence to support the Israeli claims, attacking hospitals is totally unacceptable.
No civilised person can defend deliberately targeting and bombarding hospitals, no civilised country would do it.
