The Israeli army showed a reinforced tunnel beside Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza on Wednesday, complete with a bathroom, kitchen and an air conditioned meeting room that it said had served as a command post for Hamas fighters.
The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.
Emphasis mine. Because was there a reasonable warning? “Take these intensive care patients through an active war zone, oh and btw you’re surrounded” doesn’t seem to apply
And…
The fact that sick or wounded members of the armed forces are nursed in these hospitals, or the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants which have not yet been handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy.
Which seems to be a all that was going on. The tunnels are everywhere, and do not constitute the hospital being used to commit acts harmful to the enemy.
I guess you may be trolling (Because I hope this is not just how you write) but this type of claim is common. Doesn’t pass the sniff test and I am yet to see a convincing legal justification
“The fact that sick or wounded members of the armed forces are nursed in these hospitals, or the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants which have not yet been handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy.”
Thus far the only actual evidence is that there were tunnels below the hospital. Everyone already knew that. The entire place is a web of tunnels. No one was running anything but health care inside the hospital.
hiiii~ it’s not actually a war-crime according to Article 19 of the Geneva Convention.
nawt defending iswael, just pointing out it’s legally not a war-crime :(
Why do some anime nerds choose to be so insufferable
Yh I was hoping that meme accounts would be something we left behind on Reddit.
We brought over all the worst parts of the reddit community and very few of the best parts. Sometimes lemmy feels like a bad photocopy
always been like that
based on the fact the account is fairly new and that ive seen them in other posts only posting pro Israel comments, I think this maybe a shill account
yush i am a shill posting on the most financially stable website, lemmy
