You don't know what #Hamas or #terrorism are, and you seem to be very out of touch with #humanity or you have a very narrow definition of who counts as human?

About 7 countries regard "Hamas" as a terror group. Most of humanity – including many people in those countries, including me – don't regard a doctor connected to Hamas as a terrorists.

It would not be valid to target an Israeli medic for being a member of #Likud (a direct descendant of the #Irgun and #Lehi #terrorist groups) or an #IDF reservist, or even a military medic, because all medics are forbidden as targets, regardless of political affiliation, and even if they are medics in the military.

There is actually nothing wrong with doctors being connected to Gaza government. Somewhere like #ShifaHospital was a government hospital. It's entirely normal and expected for doctors there to be connected to Hamas, that doesn't mean it's a terror facility, that means it's a goddamn public hospital. It was run in cooperation with the PA in Ramallah, but at times Fatah affiliates were discouraged from working there by #Abbas

#Hamas were severely over due for an election, but less over due than Abbas. When Hamas' Change and Reform list won the election, Israel (seemingly determined to maintain their status as the only country who are allowed to have a democracy in the Middle East) declared the entire electoral list a terrorist organization, which included at least one Christian. The Change and Reform Christian won the Christian reserved seat in #GazaCity on the Hamas list. Maybe Americans hate #Hamas for doing #DEI that favours #Christians ?

Also, for a bit of perspective on whether "member of ruling party" says much about a doctor's allegiance or character, Dr Li Wenliang – the infamous COVID whistle-blower – was a member of the #CPC (aka CCP) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55963896 but strangely, despite claiming to be communist, China has even less public health care than most liberal countries, but that's also another story.

Li Wenliang: 'Wuhan whistleblower' remembered one year on

Chinese social media remember Dr Li Wenliang, who raised the alarm about Covid-19 and died with it.

i still cane cope with the video the #IDF shared of themselves looting the safe in #ShifaHospital

Israel-Hamas war: Palestinians describe raid around Gaza hospital

Palestinians who fled an ongoing Israeli raid of Gaza's main hospital have told The Associated Press of mass arrests and forced marches past dead bodies. Israel's military says it has killed more than 170 militants and detained about 480 suspects in the raid on Shifa Hospital that began Monday. The fighting highlights the resilience of Palestinian armed groups in a heavily destroyed part of Gaza targeted in the war's earliest weeks. The United Nations says that Israel is now blocking its main agency helping Palestinians from sending food aid to the enclave’s devastated north. Experts have warned of imminent famine there.

Israeli forces backed by tanks and artillery launch another raid on Gaza’s largest hospital. 30,000 people shelter there.

“We’re trapped inside,” said Abdel-Hady Sayed. “They fire at anything moving.”

Israel-Hamas war: 'Famine imminent' in northern Gaza, UN says

A new report says famine is imminent in northern Gaza, where 70% of the remaining population is experiencing catastrophic hunger. It says a further escalation of the war could push around half of Gaza’s total population to the brink of starvation. The report came from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, an initiative set up by U.N. agencies, aid groups and others to determine the severity of food insecurity. Israel faces mounting pressure from even its closest allies to streamline the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and to open more crossings. Israeli forces, meanwhile, launched another raid on the Gaza Strip’s largest hospital, saying it killed a Hamas commander who was hiding there.

In this story about how the #hostage deal came about, this part caught my eye:

"But #Hamas then went dark. The #militant group stopped talking with the #Qataris & #Egyptians, threatening to walk from the talks after the #Israeli Defense Forces entered #ShifaHospital that Israel insists is being used by Hamas for #military purposes."

“Everything was to fall apart at this stage,” one of the Egyptian officials said. “Hamas was angry.”

Hospital entry triggered Hamas? WHY?

Israel-Hamas war: How the hostage deal came about

Negotiations to free the hostages held by Hamas hardly ran smoothly. Hamas resisted as Israel laid waste to huge areas of Gaza. But talks proceeded, aided by intermediaries in Qatar, eventually leading to Wednesday's agreement. A month and a half after Hamas raided Israel, killing about 1,200 and grabbing hundreds, the deal was sealed. There would be a cease-fire, and dozens of hostages — but not all — would be released, and so would many Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. Through skips and stumbles, the negotiators' persistence paid off with an agreement. There apparently was a final hiccup as no hostages were to be released before Friday.

AP News

RT by @HelgaTruepel: “When I was first asked to work there (Shifa), I was told that there was a part of the hospital I was not go to near and if I did I’d be in danger of being shot.”

Does this sound like a normal hospital to you?
