Army spokesman Hagari gives tour of Al Rantisi Hospital, showcasing Hamas' operational tunnel shafts, cache of weapons and makeshift area in basement used for holding hostages
My personal objections are that (a) there’s still civilians there and (b) by bombing hospitals, they’ve given up claim to the moral high ground and that will only create more animosity. I’m an American with no particular animosity towards Israel but I think you’re making the same mistakes we did in Afghanistan and will find the results are the same. You cannot solve terrorism with military.
I don’t have a perfect solution but to me, it seems like you have to find the reasonable people (who also hate the terrorists) and build them up. That means, at the minimum, supporting doctors and undermining Hamas.
