Good thing Biden is here to be the spokesperson for Israel for some reason. Show us the evidence or fuck off, and stop buying bullets to kill children while you’re at it.
There’s a video of a Hamas guy firing a rocket from the hospital. I doubt you’ll watch it
Link? Not that I doubt, but saying there’s a video ≠ showing the video.
EDIT: Downvoted for asking evidence lol
EDIT2: Thanks @Hatsune_Miku@lemmy.world for the video link, that’s how you do it @blahsay@lemmy.world instead of being obtuse and combative. Yes I did watch it, no thanks to you.
lemmy doesn’t like things that can show gaza in a bad light. i blame binary thinking! :3
So? Don’t bomb babies. This isn’t hard
How do you suggest they take out Hamas otherwise? Just saying so doesn’t solve the problem that simultaneously forces Palistinians under leadership they did not vote for and ensures future and sustained terror attacks directed against the civilian population of Israel as they’ve experienced the last 17 years.
Inaction is not a viable option anymore. Urban fighting favors the defender so sending in light infantry is suicide. Sending in light infantry supported by indirect fire is less suicide but worse for the civilians because it is slower and ensures the city is destroyed block by block a la Aleppo or Mosul.
I’m getting really tired of these reactionary responses by people who have never had to plan urban combat before. Literally every army on earth would do the same as Israel right now and it is overall legal.
Boots on the ground.
Soldiers should risk their lives to save children.
Or if that’s too much to ask, maybe negotiate? Try to talk with the people they’ve been blockading since 2007. See how they can make gaza less of a shithole so the people there have better things to do than lash out at the people who keep them there.
It’ll cost money, but Israel has plenty.
why are they blockading them? :o
ooh, because of the terrorists! :3
It’s a little more complicated than that. If you’re interested in learning, here you go.

1948 to present? heeey now! where’s the ottomans and before that? :3
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The White House on Tuesday said it had its own intelligence that Hamas was using Gaza’s largest hospital Al Shifa to run its military operations, and probably to store weapons, saying those actions constituted a war crime.
“We have information that confirms that Hamas is using that particular hospital for a command and control mode” and probably to store weapons, national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One.
He said the United States had information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were using some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al Shifa, to conceal or support their military operations and to hold hostages.
“We have been clear on multiple occasions - Hamas actions do not lessen Israel’s responsibilities to protect civilians in Gaza, and this is something we’re going to continue to have an active conversation with our counterparts about,” he added.
Israeli forces have surrounded Gaza City’s Al Shifa hospital, the biggest in the enclave, which they say sits atop an underground headquarters of Hamas militants.
Hamas, Gaza’s ruling Islamist group, denies fighters are present and says 650 patients and 5,000-7,000 other civilians are trapped inside the hospital grounds, under constant fire from snipers and drones.

thank you
I keep seeing both Israel and the US say they have evidence but neither of them seem to be able or willing to show such evidence.
That by itself should make every single person concerned, because if they actually had evidence, they would put it right out there for everyone to see. What do they gain by hiding it?
