    Since US already agreed that hamas operated in the hospital and countries know it would not be a violation of international law in that case they only need to show evidence to gain public approval.

      I thoroughly disagree with the idea that Israel is cleared of wrongdoing if Hamas operated in the hospital.

      Israel has been in flagrant violation of international law for YEARS. Under international law, they’re obligated to provide healthcare and food to people living under occupation. Under international law, apartheid is illegal. Under international law, you’re not allowed to create conditions intended to make life unlivable for a targeted ethnic group. That’s one of the acts designated as genocide.

      This is why I keep saying that the discussion over this single hospital is a distraction. We need to keep our focus on the larger picture: millions of people across Israel-Palestine are denied basic rights: Palestinians in Gaza, Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestinians citizens of Israel, Israeli leftists, Mizrahi and Sphardaic Israeli Jews, Bedouins, immigrant workers… and that won’t end until we stop enabling it.

        again you might disagree and repeat hamas propaganda points but international law says otherwise. it’s not a debate in that context. if you disagree you are basically saying that you have more moral clarity than the red cross. do you really think you have more moral clarity than them?

          Was this intended to respond to another comment? I don’t see how this connects to what I just said.

            I guess you are not ready to condemn the Red Cross so you feign confusion instead of acknowledging the point.
