Hospitals have special protection under the rules of war. Why are they in the crosshairs in Gaza? - Lemmy.World

JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.

Why are hospitals in Gaza under Israel’s crosshairs? Why? Is it truly that difficult to step back and think for a moment about why Israel would want to erase the current populace entirely?

Amazing, what a mystery

Not sure why you’re being downvoted… Israel an ethnostate, and what we’re seeing here are the early stages of a genocide. Look at any other ethnic cleansing in history, and you’ll easily see the parallels.

War does not automatically equate to being a genocide just because people due. Otherwise, every war in history would.be genocide.

There are Arabs & Palestinians that serve in the IDF too and have killed Palestinians. There are other Arabs in Jordan and Syria who have also gone to war against Palestine.

You are using incindiary rhetoric to win an online argument, but your description doesn’t fit the facts.

You’re literally using the same arguments every genocidal government has used to justify their genocides in history.
