    They were unarmed and getting treatment at the hospital. That’s against international humanitarian law. Several people have linked to this in the thread. I suggest you read them.

      What does the humanitarian law say about OCT7?

      That law was thrown out the window on OCT7 by Hammas. Lets not forget that. ALL Hammas and IJ members are legitimate targets wherever they are after OCT7.

        Why do you keep mentioning October 7th? We’re talking about something else and October 7th is not a license to break IHL.

        And no, you are wrong, they are not a legitimate target when unarmed and being treated at a hospital.

          Why do I mention OCT7 all the time? Because people tend to forget the worst terror attack since 9/11 in the world had ever happened. 1200 people were massacred. And the organization who conducted and planned it for the past 3 years or so is all accountable. Every each and single one of them. Wherever they are. Armed or unarmed.

            Yeah, well, too bad that the Geneva Convention disagrees with killing people in hospitals that have protected status under IHL.

              You do know that both sides have to be part of geneva convention for it to be valid.

              “ The Geneva Conventions apply at times of war and armed conflict to governments who have ratified its terms. The details of applicability are spelled out in Common Articles 2 and 3”

                If “they broke international law first, so it’s now fine for me to” is a legitimate justification as you say, then Isreals decades of international law violations would make Oct 7th fully legitimate too.

              Where was the Geneva convention on OCT7?

              Yes ill keep mentioning it.

              What do you think should be done with a vicious terrorist organization who has no rules or any regard for human life or and regard for basic human decency.

              How would yoy deal with a terror organization deliberately hiding within civilians and hospitals and what not. Give the other cheek? Let them continue?

                  No, by that logic Israel has the right to murder national socialist party members. And lo behold, they actually did.

                  Note I said Hammas. Not Palestinians in general.

                  Though by last survey of Palestinians, 80% of them support what hammas did on OCT7. But thats a different story for a different thread.

                  Edit: I heard yall like sources

                  “We asked the respondents what they thought of Hamas’ decision to launch the October the 7th offensive given its outcome so far, a vast majority (72%; 82% in the West Bank and 57% in the Gaza Strip) said it was a correct decision and 22% (12% in the West Bank and 37% in the Gaza Strip) said it was incorrect.”
