It is well known that Hamas has tunnels under hospitals and civilian infrastructure in Gaza. Literally indisputable. The video you just posted seems to even confirm this. The bomb struck outside of the hospital and you can see the fire coming from the tunnel that was destroyed.
The fire was coming from the crater created by the bomb. The area it hit was the courtyard in the middle of the hospital. Also, this is a hospital that has several foreign doctors (one of my friends from UNC was actually volunteering there a few months ago). Israel knows that there are foreign doctors there as it takes a lot of coordination with them to let them in.
Well, for starters, if Israel wasn't lying about the tunnels then the tunnels aren't "imaginary". They are real. And everyone knows that they are real: Inside the tunnels of Gaza
So if there was an alleged terrorist tunnel under your kid's school with maybe a terrorist in the tunnel, you would be fine if it got bombed while the kids were there because it's just unfortunate that the terrorist built a tunnel under it? Blowing up kids would be sad but justified?
It is unfortunate for the civilians of Gaza that the Israelis are intent on genocide.
Fixed it.
Fuck you. Don’t “fix” my words.
Happy to help.
So, tell me this. I have asked this from the start to pro-Israel supporters and have yet to get a clear answer. How does Israel win this? They keep saying that they won't stop until Hamas is destroyed, yet all they've done is made it easier for Hamas to recruit. Is the end game to completely destroy Gaza? Is it to kill everyone because there could be Hamas members amongst the people? How does it all end? Wars against guerilla groups are rarely successful. Just look at Vietnam and Afghanistan. When does it all end?
again, there are @ 2 BILLION muslims on the planet.

Ohh, I see. Those bombs magically avoid the people walking above ground to reach the bunkers. That makes it fine. They totally don't cause significant damage above ground. Wow, Israel is so thoughtful. Thank you, Israel.They aren't targeting civilians. The used "bunker buster" bombs, which are used for underground targets.
Israeli 'bunker buster' bombs used in Gaza hospital strike, experts say
CCTV footage obtained and verified by the BBC shows the moment before impact and the immediate aftermath. Munitions experts told BBC Verify that the strikes and destruction are consistent with the use of so-called "bunker buster" bombs - designed to hit underground targets. BBC Verify's Merlyn...
At least they are guided and targeted, unlike the thousands of missiles that Hamas and PIJ have launched at Israeli civilians. Hell, one of those missiles even blew up a Palestinian hospital.
The answer to any question about "acceptable" civilian deaths should be 0. Even if there was a Hamas leader hiding underground, it is not worth killing dozens of people in a bombing to reach him. That makes no sense. And this isn't a once time thing, it's been happening for nearly 20 months. You also continue to focus on Oct 7th as the start date, but there were hundreds of Palestinians killed leading up to Oct 7th in 2023. Do they not matter?
Ah yes, how many of those missiles have actually killed any Israeli civilians? How much damage have those thousands of missiles caused? Now compare that to Israeli missiles. There is no comparison.
You've asked this question dozens of times now. I think the answer is clearly no. Those hundreds of deaths are inconvenient for the current narrative and thus will those deaths be ignored. They will be given lip service, like, "it was definitely wrong to do that but . . . " There will be no meaningful effort to synthesize these other facts and realities into the narrative that has been spun.
In a perfect world, yes, there would never be war to cause civilian deaths.
Yes, it has been happening for nearly 20 months and will likely continue until Hamas is destroyed or as close to being destroyed as possible.
