    The words ‘largest’ and ‘functioning’ are doing a lot of heavy lifting here considering one is only recently true and the other is unlikely to be truly accurate.

    Just curious, let’s say that there really are Hamas operatives in this hospital, and there really are the bodies of hostages in this hospital, how would you want Israel to handle it?

      I’m sure there are Hamas operators in the hospital. If you were Hamas, fighting an enemy you can’t face on a level battlefield, what else you do but embed yourselves in the most vulnerable part of the civilian population?

      And we can hardly ask Israel not to fight them.

      I’ve never seen a war like this, not in 5 decades. Both sides are basically terrorists, both are acting in rational self-interest, and neither give a good god damn about the civilians caught in the middle. I cannot see any end to this.

        So, you haven’t been paying attention, have bad perception or are ignorant of history. Specially considering that this war, is only the latest round of a war that Israel started also roughly 5 decades ago and has already killed millions of people, mostly Palestinians.

        I wouldn’t be quite so sure. Hamas doesn’t hide in hospitals because they know that the second they do israel would use it as an excuse to bomb every single hospital

        They have kilometers of tunnel network. They don’t need the hospital to operate in.

        There is zero evidence of Hamas being in any hospital so far.

        The goal of israel is to destroy all hospitals and infrastructure and to kill everyone in Gaza. The Hamas thing only makes sense if they would actually find Hamas but they keep not finding any Hamas.

        Hamas is obeying the laws of war exceptionally well so far.

        What do you mean? Genocide? Jewish people have always been in the Middle East. Forcing them to leave is just as evil as Israel forcing Palestinians off their land.

    I always find it surprising how Israel has to fight for days to just to get access to these hospitals.

    One of the biggest shocks for poor nations during this whole thing is that Gaza has so many hospitals. There are countries with twice the population that have a tenth of what Gaza has.

      Yeah wonder how that comes. Maybe because of the israeli created humanitarian crisis and Palestinians that keep getting bombed by a Nazi state that put them in a concentration camp.
