SAVAGES to say the least, God's chosen people !??? doing the devils work.

Exactly. They will reap what they sowed one day.

A US-ally burned a hospital - what a shocker. They've been carpet bombing them incessantly for over a year now, so this will be swept under their bulging carpet too.

What did Hammas think was going to happen with their surprise murder event? That a bunch of protesting warped college kids in the US was going to change their situation? I understand the Palestinians desperation and frustration with the Gestapo like treatment from the Jews of Israel, but that attack was not the answer.

You can't make this stuff up.
The Palestinian people deserve to be properly protected from the Israelis. They are vulnerable, can't defend themselves, and it's high time the world stops just idly standing by and watching the superpower backed Murder State kill Palestinians. It's not right. It's not fair.
The UN needs to send in troops, separate the two groups and establish a 2 party state, regardless of what the US and Israel think about it.
It's the only fair thing to do. Creation of the modern State of Israel has come at a total cost to Palestinians, and that's not fair. It hasn't worked, it doesn't work.
Palestine needs to be a separate country.

When you have a tunnel network hiding weapons, operate command and control out of strictly civilian use facilities (schools, hospitals), and use civilians as human shields, this can happen. I don't blame Israel one bit. They didn't start this but they will finish it.

Who is going to send in troops? russia? They are busy conducting their own genocide.

The self-proclaimed biggest victim in Europe.
The biggest perpetrator in the Middle East.
That is the Jewish state of Israel.

Attacking a hospital is disgraceful and a war crime.

And your sources are the IDF Israel counter intelligence, right? The same army led by criminal Netanyahu (says the ICJ) who does not allow foreign media to enter Gaza, unlike any previous conflicts fought in the history (of United States), see bloody Fallujah or Afghanistan. And yet people like you are expressing opinions on facts that are not verifiable. Why is Israel's protracted impunity tolerated?
This terrible conflict would end the first 24 hours the US administration stops shipping lethal weapons to Israel. Over $20 billions (officially) since January 2024. But, as we know, there is too much at stake for the US lobbies in Wall Street

Here's an idea: how about kicking out armed Hamas people from your hospitals (and schools and shelters) if you don't want to be bombed? Naw, let's just blame Israel.

All this wanton sadistic carnage and destruction have been enabled by the mendacious narrative and shameless lies of the Netanyahu coalition and the transparent cover given by complicit US, UK and German governments and their MSM, without which the ethnic-cleansing of Gaza could never have been presented to the world as a "war". The world has no words to describe the horrors it has witnessed daily for 14 months as the real intentions of the Israelis become crystal clear: to make Gaza uninhabitable for human life. Memory will not forget nor history forgive.

Israelis are reaping what they sowed from the river to the see

Surely you mean the Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands started long before Oct 7th 2023.
Are you noticing a pattern?
And what happened to this?
"In his letter on 13 October, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Israel needed to allow a minimum of 350 lorries a day into Gaza, every day, by 12 November."
No hospitals, no food or water, no safe zones.
It's very obvious that Israel wants to ethnically cleanse the entire of the northern section of the Gaza strip whilst Daniela Weiss and other extremist settlers plan boat tours and watch the destruction from vantage points fantasizing about where they'll build their new homes on the land they've just stolen.
It's beyond words at this point.
Capuchin
You think it's the job of doctors and nurses to kick out armed militants? But yeah, of course it's not Israel's fault that they've been systematically bombed hospitals, schools and holy sites. "They make us do it". There's a reason Netanyahu and Golant are wanted war criminals and it's for exactly this form of twisted, inhumane logic.

Hahahaha yes that's an idea

Hamas uses civilians and civilian buildings as shields. This Islamist Iranian proxy must be rooted out once and for all. Gazans are oppressed by Hamas, Lebanese are oppressed by Hezbollah, and Iranians are oppressed by the Islamist regime there. This Iranian regime oppresses all Muslims in the region. Even the Houthis in Yemen. Most Muslims wish to be free of these oppressors. They support Israel acting to remove their oppressors.
NB
There is enough room for the two nations between the river and the sea. The ambition for exclusive ownership of the land, for cleansing the other nation from the land and for slaughtering the other nation, is wrong, stupid and disastrous.
owzer
Palestine is not a country.
NB
That "hospital" (actually a warehouse of weapons) was evacuated.
JeffLee
they could protest, Palestinian s are pretty good at that. Naww, let's just blame Israel. But it's the job of Hamas, which administers Gaza. but as long as Hamas is hell bent on killing Israeli civilians and holding others hostage, the violence ain't gonna stop.
elephant200
America enabling all of these !
NB
What about attacking a hotel where elderly people gathered for the holidy? What about bombing passenger busses? What about murdering babies and women? What about raping women? What about shooting passengers of civilian cars along stretches of roads? What about shelling cities with rockets indiscriminantly? What about the very agenda of slaughtering an entire nation of 8,000,000 people in order to "free the land from the river to the sea"? Is all this "resistance"?
NB
Every day we are shown pictures of sufffering Palestinian children. What about an Israelli toddler who is being kept as a hostages and being strarved and tortured with his parents in the tunnels?

I see that the article fails to mention that this hospital was the last major health facility in northern Gaza (according to the WHO). There can be no excuse for this kind of behavior.
