  • Fair enough.

    Blowing up a hospital in Gaza doesn’t seem to have any strategic value though?
    Especially with the international condemnations that was sure to follow.
    IDF is more calculated than that?

    Maybe it will transpire that there was in fact a missile battery and a weapons cache hidden in the hospital.

    If your strategy is to expel the inhabitants of the land you want, then it's pretty effective.

  • That strategy might become difficult if Israel becomes attacked on all sides and have their resources stretched.

    I’m just trying to make sense of it all.
    I don’t think Israel currently deserve the benefit of the doubt, and not seeking to excuse them for all the other shit. But some evidence suggests they didn’t specifically do this.
    As it stands, whether they did it or not is irrelevant, as all their neighbours and most of the international community assume they did and condemned their attack.

    Hezbollah/Iran look likely to use it as a reason to attack tomorrow, I don’t think they are the people to fairly defend the rights of, or liberate the Palestinian people.
