al-Ahli hospital in gaza contained thousands of injured from the recent bombardment of gaza... it is estimated that at least 500 people have been killed. 
 

How can this possibly be a justifiable form of self defence?

\\The health ministry, which is run by Hamas, said at least 500 people had been killed.//

Run by Hamas

Hamas were probably hiding in the hospital.

Another Hamas attrocity, like all of this. They'd all be alive in a peaceful autonomous Gaza if Hamas had not decided to launch 7000 rockets etc 10 days ago. All at the door of Hamas.

is there any proof that this was the case? i have not seen anyone say so 

if hamas were inside the hospital does that make killing 500 civilians acceptable?

[Untitled]

gaza was not peaceful or autonomous before 10 days ago 

as evil as hamas is they are not the ones that dropped the bomb on this hospital

[ToraToraTora]

You lefties just don't get it do you? cause and effect.

[Abstract1]

Tora: Absolutely right. This crisis would not have happened if Hamas had not sent thousands of missiles to kill Israelis.

do you believe that bombing this hospital was a legitimate act of self defence?

have a go at the question ynna

Cause and effect isn't just a response to the last atrocity.  It goes back a lot further than that.

The Israelis will want Palestinian blood.  Many of them would wish to be wading in it.

israel has dropped some 6,000 bombs on gaza in the last week... are we really to believe that all those bombs are precisely targeted purely against terrorist targets? come off it. these are revenge attacks.

[ToraToraTora]

Hamas cowards tend to use Hispitals, schools kids playgrounds as bases of operation. So this is either collateral damage or legit target of terrorists using human shields, either way it's at the door of Hamas.

if a terrorist was hiding in the same hospital as you, would you say that the government is correct to just blow it up? 
 

i have not yet seen a single israeli source claim that there was a military target in al Ahli or provide any evidence that this was the case... 

[retrocop]

Hamas use hospitals as their command and control centres. They use Palestinians as human shields.That is why Hamas must be eradicated off the face of the earth. They care not for innocent Palestinians either adult or infant as demonstrated by their attack on Israel.

Makes no me wonder if some ABers are not aware that children were also killed in mass air raids on Coventry, London and Dresden. Blame Hitler and Hammas.

They started these atrocities. If Bomber Command did not retaliate then there would be no Jews in Europe and we would all be speaking German.

old article but pretty standard:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/07/31/why-hamas-stores-its-weapons-inside-hospitals-mosques-and-schools/

//For years, Hamas has “planned carefully for a major Israeli invasion,” according to a Washington Institute for Near East Policy report. In addition to an elaborate tunnel system, there was the “integral use of civilians and civilian facilities as cover for its military activity; schools, mosques, hospitals, and civilian housing became weapons storage facilities, Hamas headquarters, and fighting positions … IDF imagery and combat intelligence revealed extensive use of civilian facilities.”//

[Gromit]

It was a UN run hospital.

The innocent victims were probably all muslims, so you can discount their deaths as of no consequence.

"aware that children were also killed in mass air raids on Coventry, London and Dresden. Blame Hitler and Hammas."

the deliberate bombing of civilians in world war 2 was wrong... on all sides. the geneva convention was drawn up by people who lived through that conflict and knew a great deal about war... and wished to prevent such things from happening again 

do you believe that the bombing of this hospital was a legitimate act of self defence retrocop?

[ichkeria]

It was run by Baptists I thought.

President Biden will be furious. I wonder if he'll cancel his visit ...

[retrocop]

Do you honestly believe Hamas care they were muslims. They use muslims as cannon fodder for their propaganda lies for the gullible to suck up.

if you or your family were receiving treatment in a hospital where terrorists were storing weapons do you believe that the government would be justified in blowing it up while it was still full of people?
