In blatant violation of international law, particularly international humanitarian law, the Israeli army has executed 13 children by direct shooting in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its Gaza City environs. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity, and is part of the genocide that the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip having been experiencing for the past six months.
For over a week now, the Israeli army has been conducting systematic and horrifying military operations inside and around Al-Shifa Medical Complex. These crimes include extrajudicial executions and deliberate killings of Palestinian civilians. The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor field team has received identical testimonies about the killings and executions of Palestinian children between the ages of four and 16.
Some of the fatal shootings occurred during an Israeli army siege while the victims’ families were inside their homes; others occurred when the victims attempted to escape via routes that the Israeli army had designated as “safe” after forcibly evacuating them from their homes and places of residence.
Except the numbers completely back up their claim.
The IDF Hasbara is a known lie because the results don’t match their words.
I mean that you are arguing specifically about the shooting of children, as if that’s a reasonable thing to focus on and debate, when the problem is that civilian settlements should not be targeted to begin with.
The goal of the operation was taking hostages and dealing damage to the IDF, not attacking civilians. They then attacked civilians, but we have no reason to believe that was a goal of the operation.
Hamas sees israel taking Palestinians hostage and has figured out the only way to get their hostages back is take israeli hostages and trade them.
Hamas sees israel breaking these international laws all the time and just mirror it because people are fine with it when israel does it. At least Hamas is not targeting kids like israel.
Hamas certainly did war crimes but the worst ones are either heavily exaggerated or made up (40 beheaded babies in ovens). And that’s the stuff people keep repeating. It only serves to demonize Palestinians to keep israel’s Genocide going.
