Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.

    I dont. But I do expect an obviously more powerful army with total control of the situation to set an example and show restraint (and wisdom). If they reduce themsleves to their enemy, then they nees to stop with the moral high ground nonsense.

    Its not so easy to hold your position when it’s your family that gets murderes becauae there might be one bad guy among them.

    It was gross when Hamas did it, and its still gross when israel does it.

      Israel is not aiming to maintain the situation because that was what they were doing before. Their goal is to win the war and completely eradicate Hamas as a power structure. Everything is to further that end within international law.

      Hamas is doing their best to embed themselves within restricted targets and Israel does not always have the ability to tell when a building or vehicle they are seen going into is a restricted target. That does not make it illegal. It is also a war crime by Hamas. It places the blame purely on the side with knowledge of the ground. I’m yet to see Hamas get blamed for this in this conflict yet it absolutely is on them.

        So this is Israels Vietnam eh?

        Tell me, when you go into perform brain surgery to extract a persons cancer, why are you using a 10 pound hammer to perform the operation? It’s called a scalpel you clod.

        Also tell me, if this is so precise then why are 40% of the fatalities children? That’s 10% shy of the total percentage of the population they represent.

        Minimal effort is being taken, if any, to protect the people you claim brave Israel cares about. What a joke!

        30,000 active Hamas fighters according to Israel and you’ve already killed 10,000 people. 4,000 of them children. You are an unapologetic accomplice to a massacre that is still ongoing. You remember that, no matter how “moral” you tell yourself it is.

          I haven’t killed anyone in this conflict. I’m sorry you have affiliated yourself with Hamas but I have not done the same for Israel. I would also not conduct this war the same way but I also won’t stoop to calling it war crimes. It’s just war.

          I’ll ask again. Don’t ignore it. What do you consider moral in war?
