There's a record of Hamas using ambulances to transport fighters, as Israel claims. Most of these incidents are covered in Israeli newspapers which I'm sure plenty of people will write off as biased, but a quick search brings up even the Journal of Emergency Medical Services talking about it during a previous conflict: https://www.jems.com/operations/ambulances-vehicle-ops/hamas-tried-hijack-ambulances/
It doesn't make sense to attack ambulances specifically to kill civilians: doing so kills relatively few people and looks terrible in the international news.
Nor does it make sense to go to the west bank and shoot random Palestinians, or to use white phosphorus in incredibly densely populated areas, or bomb an entire refugee camp twice to maybe kill one bad guy, yet here we are.
you forgot "but the uss liberty", you nazi fuck
"I don't like war crimes."
"Nazi!"
Love it. Truly amazing discourse. Say the thing about how shooting journalists is Israel defending itself.
Well I did check the wikipedia article and it doesn't seem to say that Hamas was hiding weapons there, sooo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
True but I also bet 10 bucks if you asked an Israeli official on Twitter whether there was a hamas cache on the liberty they'd confirm it and then delete the tweet once they realized what they said.
It does if your intent is to terrorize a group of people into complete submission.
You were so close to actual awareness there, so very close.
Let's see... Red Cross accuses Israeli forces of killing two ambulance workers (2006) https://doi.org/10.1136%2Fbmj.39041.573403.DB
So while it doesn't make sense to non-genocidal people, Israel has been doing this for decades. Please admit you are mistaken and they have enough US military technology and their own intelligence to undeniably know who they are targeting and killing in ambulances. There are so many documented examples, it boggles the mind comments like yours can exist.
It makes sense when you consider that the goal is to terrorize a populace, and not to engage with enemy combatants
you mean like when the "Palestinians" fire hundreds of thousands of rockets at Israeli civilian populations, or 4000 "Palestinian" Muslim Arab terrorists storm across the Israeli border to rape, then kill close to two thousand civilians, and only civilians. slaughter, then rape other over the bodies of the friends of those they had previously raped and slaughtered, decapitate children, burn them alive?
like that, or worse?
Thanks for your response that you think Israel is allowed to murder kids. Very cool
^^Certified war crime enjoyer
