Israel-Hamas Thread II

[essentialsaltes]

The Israeli military has released the results of the investigation into the attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. ...The investigation revealed that an anti-tank gun was used in the attack, although a more targeted weapon was initially planned to limit damage to the target area.

AI Overview

Key findings from the IDF's preliminary investigation:

• Unauthorized tank fire: Hebrew media reported that the use of tank shells, which ultimately killed a Reuters cameraman and other civilians, was not approved by Southern Command as the situation was not considered an immediate threat. This suggests a breakdown in the chain of command, which the IDF Chief of Staff has instructed for further investigation.
• Questioned rationale: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) noted that the IDF's report failed to explain why a tank fired on a location used daily by visible journalists, or why a second strike was authorized despite first responders being present.

The Israeli military has released the results of the investigation into the attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. According to the report, a Golani Brigades unit discovered a camera installed by Hamas that monitored the movements of Israeli soldiers. Based on the assessment that the facility was being used as an observation and control device for enemy activities, authorization for the attack was granted. The goal was to neutralize the threat without extending the operation to civilian areas. Naturally, challenges arise in coordinating and approving military operations in densely populated areas. Hamas systematically misuses civilian facilities for military purposes, making it difficult to distinguish between combatants and civilians. The fatigue and overload of the troops, which can lead to misjudgements, must also be taken into account. The investigation revealed that an anti-tank gun was used in the attack, although a more targeted weapon was initially planned to limit damage to the target area. Don't Hamas members have cameras and press vests? Six of the fatalities were Hamas militants.

...and you think using large explosives is the responsible method for dealing with a camera?

This is the same country that brilliantly blew up Hezbollah mobile phones in Syria...remotely. Israel most certainly could have taken out a camera with other means....if they had the will to do so!

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world’s top scholars on the crime say​

The resolution said the IAGS recognised that “since the horrific Hamas-led attack of 7 October 2023, which itself constitutes international crimes”, the government of Israel had engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, including indiscriminate and deliberate attacks against the civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, homes and commercial buildings, of Gaza.

Out of the International Association of Genocide Scholars’s (IAGS) 500 members, 28% took part in the vote. Of those who voted, 86% supported the resolution. The resolution states that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gazameet the legal definition of genocide in article II of the United Nations convention for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide (1948).”

Now that an expert consensus is forming, this will be accepted as readily and universally as anthropogenic climate change.

And neither have you

I agree. I am 100% on the side of Israel because they are doing everything tgey can to prosecute a just war against an EVIL enemy. Its the EVIL enemy that is causing the issues and its their actions that are resulting in whatever problems there might be. I dont believe evil propaganda from an evil group.

I don't doubt at all that there have been individual instances of Israeli soldiers doing unjust things. It happens in EVERY WAR. But its not the goal or purpose of the war. The war is just and Israel is doing what they can to prevent casualties while fighting an EVIL just wicked enemy who's desire is to cause as many civilian deaths as possible.

Hamas should surrender and leave. That would end the war. As long as they remain Israel will continue to fight.

Hamas even still holds hostages. Genocide is on their own evil hands.

Do these scholars believe in the concept of "evil"? I doubt if they do! I wonder if they understand that many [not all] of the Palestinians will *never* stop attacking Israel until the end of the world.

...Because pure evil never "stops".
