The letter posted on Israeli journalist Amit Segal channel to 184,000 followers says that “the nation of Israel will stand up bravery to strike at its enemies,” according to a translation of the Hebrew. It goes on to justify targeting sites even “when the enemy hides behind a human shield.”

    First it was “Hamas bombed their own hospital”

    Then it comes out that Israel bombed the hospital “by mistake”.

    Now Israel wants to bomb more hospitals.

    Normalization of genocide right here.

      It certainly doesn’t add clarity to the situation on the ground, when as a country, you seem to be so pro hospital bombing.
      To the point of saying even gods giving you the go ahead… Wild ass future we’re living in.

      I have seen no official statement from Israel stating they were the ones that bombed Al Ali hospital, only the reporting of WP and NYT indicating that there was an iron dome missile that may have caused the blast. Did I miss something?

        They directly said, “yes, we bombed a refugee camp, we are justified”. Honestly, Israel has bombed so many hospitals, refugee camps and killed so many journalists and medics, that discussing the single incident of Al Ali is just a moot point and distraction by now. They have done way worse since then.

        Israel’s story of a Hamas missile was disproved.

        If Israel had another explanation, they would certainly be pushing it.

        Simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

          So your previous comment claiming Israel stated it was an accident was made up based on an inference you’re making, got it.

              Now you’re strawmanning. You presented your unverified take as fact which I rightfully questioned. I don’t question Israel intentionally bombed refugees yesterday because they admitted to it. That was an atrocity and I don’t excuse it. Is it too much to ask for facts?

    ““If in such an action innocent blood is spilled, the blame will fall only on the head of the murderers,” the letter added, referring to the Hamas militants Israel is fighting against.”

    This is so infuriatingly fucking stupid and nasty it makes my head hurt.

    Shall we apply the same twisted logic to the Palestinians who keep getting murdered by the “settlers”, or would that be antisemitic of me?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An Israeli journalist has shared a letter he says has been signed by dozens of rabbis which states there would be no religious prohibition for Israel’s forces to strike a hospital that contained “the enemy.”

    The missive, posted on Monday on the Telegram channel of prominent media figure Amit Segal, is addressed to Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and mentions by name the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City which is the strip’s largest medical complex.

    Israel has sent its forces into Hamas-controlled Gaza following weeks of air and artillery strikes and has vowed to wipe out Hamas amid a growing civilian death toll and desperate humanitarian crisis as food, fuel, drinking water and medicine run short.

    Israel has said that key Hamas operations are taking place within underground tunnels below Al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital, as well as Al-Quds, which has been explicitly ordered several times to evacuate.

    But the World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that under international humanitarian law, “healthcare must always be protected,” as he urged Israel to rescind its evacuation order against Al-Quds Hospital.

    Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor, told the outlet Democracy Now in an article published on Monday that in the 16 years he had worked on and off at Al-Shifa hospital, he had seen no evidence that it was a Hamas command center.
