    No one should be surprised by this. It’s been well known for a long time that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure to shield their operations, and civilians themselves as human shields.

        Two things…

        First, as samokosik says, if it’s being used militarily, it’s a military target. But second - and more importantly - I never said Israel should bomb hospitals.

        There is no “should” in this clusterfuck. Everyone is guilty. Hamas happens to be the most guilty in all this, and should definitely be eradicated, but Israel should never have oppressed the Gaza strip or deployed illegal “settlements.” There is no good, clean solution now. Everything is fucked.

          That’s a funny way to say “fuck civilians.”

            That’s a funny way to say you have more moral clarity than the Red Cross.

              Holy whataboutism, Batman, no one is arguing that Hamas is in the right here. What are you even trying to say with this? “Hamas ‘fucks civilians’ which makes them evil… so Israel might as well join in and ‘fuck civilians’ too”?

              Can’t we all just agree that no one should be “fucking civilians” for any reason, because you know, they’re civilians?

          It’s no longer a hospital

          Tell that to the premature babies that were in incubators there. Or the patients who are still there because they aren’t well enough to be moved.

          Seriously, those are some extreme mental gymnastics you’re doing. Of course it is still a hospital.

            The doctors were Hamas! The patients were Hamas! And the premature babies? Also Hamas.
