The US and Israel are bombing hospitals… hospitals. And this is normal now? No one’s even batting an eyelid?

Israel literally levelled every hospital in Gaza and these fuckers are spoken of as allies? Now they’ve reportedly bombed over 30 hospitals in Iran.

The inhumanity.

Fuck anyone who supports these sociopaths.

@aral

Every time they do this, they say, "It was an enemy stronghold. The patients were being used as human shields."

Well...

1. They never offer any proof of this at all.

2. So?

@Professor_Stevens @aral even if they are using people as human shields, since when do we use that as justification to execute the human shields?!

If someone takes a child hostage we don’t execute the child and say “well, they were using the child as a shield, so it was justified.”

They are MONSTERS.

@lisagetspolitik @Professor_Stevens @aral

Then I go a step back even further:
"You shall not kill."

Maybe it's my upbringing in a country without capital punishment, but who gives you the right to kill another human being?

Edit: sorry, I don't want to dilute/distract from the debate above. It's just something I keep thinking in general.

@Professor_Stevens @aral what's worse, Palestinians can't actually use literal human shields because Israel doesn't care and has a written Hannibal protocol about not caring. Meanwhile there's photos of the IDF using Palestinians as actual shields.

If the excuse worked, America-Israel wouldn't bomb hospitals. But as we've seen, they're happy to decide that paramedics are actually enemy combatants and babies are terrorists, violating all moral and legal traditions.

@aral How can these monsters be members of the UN in goodstanding? Boot them out. Isolate these out of control regimes. They're baby killers.
@aral
Hospitals in Gaza have become tents or caravans, and unfortunately, they lack proper medical care and doctors because they have been killed by Israel.
@Rania @aral
Their "double-tap" strikes are specifically designed to kill anyone who tries to tend to the wounded. The "tactic" is literally just meant to murder everyone with medical training.

@aral Well, that Iran-Israel "peace deal" supposedly brokered by the USA lasted longer than I expected it would, anyway.

Last year when the Toddler-in-Chief in the White House was still embarrassingly obsessed with landing himself a shiny Nobel Peace Prize to play with, he declared a "complete and total ceasefire" that would ensure the two nations would never exchange fire again. I gave that accord weeks not months (it was broken within hours...but then seemed to stabilise).

Now here we are.

@aral Hospitals in Gaza have turned into tents and caravans. Sadly, they lack proper medical care and doctors, as many have been killed by Israel.
Our sick and wounded are left without help, and the suffering grows every day. 💔

@aral

But they bombed a school, too, so the news is talking all about that instead of the hospitals.

While Israel was doing it in Gaza people kept saying oh but WE told them not to do that, it's not our fault, we're just giving them money and trying really hard to persuade them to be nice, oh well I mean WHAT STOP COMPLAINING DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN etc.

They let us get used to that for a while, and now....

....Geneva conventions, rules of engagement, international law, rules-based international order, all of it so much tissue paper and noise.

@aral
Well, extrapolating from an Israeli Minister's comments last year, its a war crime if an Israeli hospital is hit (that's what he said), not if a Lebanese, Gazan or Iranian hospital is hit.
@aral @jwi Because like the Nazis they don’t regard the citizens of those countries as human beings.
@aral I hope all the voters who would not vote for Kamala over Gaza are getting what they wanted out of the Trump administration 🙄
@CaptMorgan Yeah, genocide just tastes better under a Democrat. You still remember how sweet it was under Biden?
@aral @CaptMorgan complicity in the demolition of Gaza is not a Dem or GOP problem in the US, it is an America problem. The country keeps finding its narrative to support a genocide.
@aiefel @aral That is a gross oversimplification. The perfect is not the enemy of the good. If you have to choose between a party that does little or nothing to restrain Israel when they commit crimes against humanity, or another that enthusiastically supports those crimes while joining in themselves and directly committing their own crimes against humanity, which party do you support ? And if you support neither, then the choice will be made for you and you must accept the outcome.
@aiefel @aral Imagine you have 10 people on a bus voting where to stop for lunch, 3 people vote for pizza, 4 vote to drive the bus over a cliff and kill everyone, and 3 don’t vote because they don’t like pizza. That’s the choice between the GOP and the democrats. Do you vote for something you don’t like or a suicide pact? Because thats what MAGA is

@CaptMorgan @aral

Thank you for posting this so I can block the dipshit sociopaths who argue.

@aral the Dahiya doctrine, first used in Beirut

@aral They’re even doing the same thing: They bombed a hospital straight out of the gate, and when press reported on it, they called those people ”antisemitic” or ”regime bombed their own people”. And as a result, the next time they bombed a hospital, the press was quiet.

Now they bombed a second school. And they’re going go keep bombing them until nobody bats an eye. It’s proven strategy in their view.

@aral The suffering of civilians and the destruction of hospitals is horrific, no matter who does it. Hospitals and medical staff are supposed to be protected under international law. We should be demanding accountability and protection for civilians everywhere

@aral isn't the US like known for bombing hospitals?

like it's shit, but it has been happening my entire lifetime. I remember when obama had white phosphorous put on one

@aral

The axis of epstein, epstein nation, epstein society, epstein class and finally epstein people.

And their pedo-POTUS enjoying supporters.

Epstein is as epstein does crime against humanity,

@aral i would prefere bombing down israel's Hospitals... Since they also did this in Gaza!

Hospitals are no Military Base! So they shouldnt be bombed without a GIGANTIC consequence

@BigDvsRL How about nobody bombs any hospitals? That’s a good place to start. The next step being stop bombing people in general.
@aral that would be even better! But i dont think that'll happen...
@aral @BigDvsRL
Israel is a pariah state with over 90% of its population supporting their war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to their own polls.
@aral war crimes don’t count if you have nukes

@aral

Which Private Equity companies were involved in these decisions?

Who will get the contracts to re-build after the invasion?

Remember that the USA invasion of Grenada was sponsored by AT&T, and guess who got the contracts to build the new Grenadan telecomms system... :|

Follow the money.

Always.

@aral They love genocide. Forget the Geneva Convention!

@aral

No different to Pol Pot who murdered everyone who had an education.

@aral ngl... historically... bombing hospitals is pretty in the US wheelhouse

@aral not to mention the millions of deaths that will result from the elimination of US AID lifesaving programs.

I am absolutely horrified, not just by the act, but by the fact that life is just operating normally. These are WAR CRIMES. The US and Israel should be SANCTIONED HEAVILY by the rest of the world and the citizens should be protesting in the street!

@aral
Doesn't "Allies" just mean "Our Billionaire's children are married to your Billionaire's children, so let's share bombs and throw armies at other Billionaire's children"?
@aral I totally concur with your sentiments.
@aral i guess Iranian regime has committed far worse atrocities?. I have no idea what those are, but all "western" media keep saying they are the terrorist regime out of the three. As always it's projection from all western media.
@aral Check whether the Iranian hospitals have been directly bombed or just moderately damaged by a nearby strike. The Ghandi hospital in Tehran was damaged by a nearby strike.
@aral Psychopaths. Not Sociopaths. They are not giving a shit if someone dies. This is called Psychopath.
@aral Israel has given zero shits about international law for decades without consequences, why would that change now?

@aral Here in the UK our National leader actively supports #Genocide.

Why on earth he is not in court for breaking International law?

#Starmer deeply untrustworthy.

@aral
“The Dahiya Doctrine is an Israeli military doctrine that calls for the use of massive, disproportionate force and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.”

“International law expressly prohibits the use of disproportionate force and the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, which are war crimes.”

@aral @glynmoody yes but jews antisemites terrorist human shield... blablabla...
