    The thing is that I can very clearly see that Israel is bombing a hospital. But so far I haven’t seen anything that shows that Hamas had a military base under it. I’ve been shown some weapons and vehicles, which could easily have been staged, and some doors and tunnels that may be connected to the hospital and which may have entirely peaceful purposes.

    I have to say, also, that I’m no longer taking Israel at it’s word, not since they were caught out lying about the almost pristine “top secret” attack plans and maps that supposedly were carried through 80-degree heat for several hours, through at least one battle, were “recovered” by Israeli soldiers who checked that the bodies were dead before searching them and finding the “battle plans”, then carried around by the Israeli soldiers before they conveniently “ran into” some reporters who were allowed to take quick pictures of the “battle plans”. Remarkably pristine those “battle plans”, for everything they’ve supposedly been through, they’re not even folded over next to the staple …

        One of the hostages is visibly wounded in his arm and is brought on a hospital bed, while the second is forcefully dragged into the hospital.

        “These findings prove that the Hamas terror organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as terror infrastructure,” the IDF says.

        Who knew bringing wounded hostages to a hospital was “terror infrastructure”. They’re not even really trying.

          Ah so that’s the next talking point. Completely ignoring the non hurt hostage being dragged in against their will. Bold strat. Terror apologist are disgusting. Not to mention the videos we have of Hamas fights magically producing rpgs and munitions in the area and firing them.

            God what utterly braindead leaps of bad faith argumentation. Hostage taking: bad. Getting hostage’s wounds treated: good. The article even says they were taken somewhere else afterward.

            Do you realize how insane you sound? The person you’re talking to expresses skepticism and uses their critical thinking, while not taking sides, and you’re accusing them of being a terror apologist.

            Here’s a crazy idea: you can be critical of both hamas and the idf. Being suspicious towards information that can be instrumentalized and asking questions to one side at one point is not and endorsement of the other side.
