This would be hysterical if not for the almost 5000 dead Palestinian children
Hate has a home everywhere.
What I find strange is the way that some progressives complain about authoritarianism and religious extremism but are happy to make excuses for Hamas or Iran.
I love it when 'experts' don't provide references for their 'opinions'. The reasons are obvious.Under international law it's not that cut and dry. The rules of war still require a proportional proportionality analysis unless it's self-defense, but for it to be self-defense attacks have to be originating from the hospital or anticipated to originate from the hospital at the time the strike is initiated.
Your enemy is allowed to be at hospitals. They can be there tending to wounded, the can be there being tended to as wounded, they can be there visiting family, they can be there just hanging out. Even if it was a Hamas-only military field hospital, there are still parts of Geneva, Hague and Rome that apply protecting it. All hospitals are protected targets. Bring a protected target doesn't mean you can't attack them ever, but it means there are very strict conditions on when you can and "there are enemy there" is not sufficient. Certainly "there are probably some enemy there" isn't sufficient.
How long do you think it will be before the bbc has to retract that and apologize.The BBC exposes another series of lies about hospitals in Gaza
Aww how sweet of them to drop leaflets of impending doom.
