    He’s saying Israel built it for Hamas. That’s the bullshit part.

      No, he’s saying Israel built it for Israel’s purposes. He’s claiming that Hamas has been using it (presumably since Israel pulled out of Gaza in '05). But Israel using structures it built as casus belli to blow up a hospital looks really bad on Israel’s part.

        I think any reason to blow up a hospital makes Israel look bad, but if I misunderstood what he meant, fair enough.

          The justification is that Hamas uses hospitals for their purposes and they have bunkers and tunnels there. Why would it matter who build the bunkers? IDF is trying to destroy Hamas who uses hospital (with bunkers). Per this article the bunkers were built for hospital medical use.

            I’m sure Israel would love people to think they built bunkers under a hospital for medical use.

              Why else would they build them? This was before Hamas came to power, when Israel was occupying Gaza permanently.

                To store munitions? That’s what bunkers are for. Or do you think Israel wouldn’t store munitions in Gaza?

                    So Israel did not use bunkers to store weapons but Hamas did. Seems a little propagandistic to me.

                  Why would they do it under hospital? I understand the ugly logic of Hamas doing this, but Israel would not make any sense. There was no reporting of them doing that, ever.

              Unfortunately, I trust Hamas even less. However, there was an interview of a doctor who worked at this hospital, who did confirm that Hamas was using it.

          I mean, in Barak’s mind he’s probably attempting to justify the bombing. In a sane person’s eyes it looks really bad.

            Maybe that’s the problem. The so-called justification just went over my head. Because it’s fucking nuts. How many innocent people who were in need of hospital care did they kill? Including children? And then claim it’s because Hamas uses human shields…

      No isreal built it so they’d have an excuse to genocide palestinians by claiming hamas was hiding there.
