In reply to the discussion: WHO 'appalled' by Israel attack on northern Gaza's last functioning major hospital [View all]Beastly Boy
(11,437 posts)35. There is no mention, as you can read yourself, of "Forcibly moving 15 critical patients to a useless hospital
that is unable to help them" in the article. In fact, all indications are that Indonesian Hospital, where the critical patients were moved, is indeed a functioning hospital and remains so. It is also a hospital that has not lost its protective status under international law like Kamal Adwan did by sheltering able-bodied Hamas operatives in it. Conspicuously, the article doesn't mention that.
Before launching the operation, the IDF said it enabled the evacuation of 350 patients, caregivers, and medical personnel to other hospitals, in an effort coordinated by the Defense Ministrys Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
and
Meanwhile, the patients, caregivers, and medical personnel were taken to the nearby Indonesian Hospital, where the IDF delivered fuel, generators, and other medical equipment from Kamal Adwan.
Presumably, this includes the 15 critical patients you imagine were subjected to cruel sadism.
and
Kamal Adwan Hospital is now out of service after its staff, patients, and equipment including generators and critical medical equipment were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital, also located in Jabalia.

Also remains unmentioned that the "initial reports" of fire being set in the hospital and the "some people" being stripped and forced to walk, are both baseless rumors unsubstantiated by any evidence.
I used to train dogs for a living. I know that the first thing a minimally trained service dog learns, way before she is trained to attack, is not to attack without a reason. While I am not discounting a possibility that there may have been a single instance of one disabled man being attacked in his home, I very much doubt that the attack was not provoked, and I somehow doubt that him being Palestinian affected the dog's judgement.
As far as wild dogs eating dead humans, I have yet to see any evidence that this happens nearly as frequently in Gaza as it does in your posts. Hence my reference to Trump's "they eat dogs" BS.

OP
Right, because the Gazans have no agency for themselves. Stop bombing Israel, return hostages, end war, simple

Yes, and the very least they can do is to be more accurate about what appauls them.

Are you by any chance suggesting that Hamas murderers and their fratricidal leaders are not responsible

Is it just me, or does the name hospital look remarkably close to Jehoshaphat?

That was a loaded and a deflective rhetorical question. I didn't have to, but I answered it to make you aware

No, it doesn't have to. It will end as soon as the terrorists move out of civilian areas. Period.

Pogrom, Ethnic Cleansing, or Genocide? What does an expert say? Well, ask a Holocaust survivor.
