And that would be a weak defense for bombing them. One for the archives.
Really?
Killing, raping, torturing 1500 innocent Israeli's wasn't a good reason to beat the crap out of the palestinians?

You think occupation and an illegal blockade have anything to do with a slow growth and a radicalized youth, or was there something else on your mind?
Israel-Palestine war: 100 Israeli doctors call for Gaza hospitals to be bombed. Open letter says it is the Israeli army's 'right and duty' to attack hospitals, referred to as 'terrorist nests'

Who knew the more colonial Brits would still struggle with the concept of illegal occupation or a total blockade of Gaza?

So does this mean the hospitals in Israel is also fair game as things heat up as this drags on?

Israeli hospitals don't have terrorists operating out of them and don't have massive terrorist underground tunnels under them. The ones in Gaza do. Two totally different situations.
50 pages and what I have learned is that no one really cares about hospitals being bombed; all they care about is being right on an anonymous message board.

A lot of things that go on in this world are outside of our control. if we did not really care we would not even talk about it.
Palestinian culpability for the rocket that struck al-Ahli Hospital is now so indisputable that even Human Rights Watch, an outfit deeply hostile to Israel, has admitted it — but rest assured, this won’t be the last time major media let Hamas guide the “narrative.”
HRW’s report on the tragedy says it “resulted from an apparent rocket-propelled munition, such as those commonly used by Palestinian armed groups.”
Armed groups — i.e., terror cadres like Islamic Jihad, the group Hamas operatives blamed in an audio clip intercepted and published by Israel.
HRW also damns the clearly inflated death and casualty totals provided by Hamas: Their number “displays an unusually high killed-to-injured ratio” “out of proportion” with the damage the rocket did to the hospital site.
Or we could talk about it in constructive reconciliatory terms; rather than stubbornly adversarial terms.... that we have control over.

How can it be an occupation when us Brits won the land fair and square from the Turks, then handed it to Israel? WE won it, they received it, then when attacked like us Brits, the IDF won a bit more. How can something that never belonged to anyone be occupied. Live with it that land is Israel lol

Lol, what second rate history books have you been reading? Won the land fair and square my arse. We bargained with the Arabs and then screwed them over, which funnily enough, kind of pissed them off and set this whole ball rolling. Britain blockaded Jewish refugees from entering Palestine because they didn't want to piss them off any more, not while they still needed them at least. Troops recruited from India were integral to the campaign at Gallipoli, want to know how Britain rewarded them and the problems that caused which only added to a now massive snowball rolling down the hill. And then, yes and then, we stuck a load of deeply brutalised and traumatised people in the middle of it all and said have it.
Wow, just so much of the old empire to feel proud about. Enjoy your delusions they're really grand.

You need to drop your Hamas style reinvention books and read up on reality. General Allenby won that land, kicked out the Turk, then Balfour gave it to Weizmann as a gift for keeping us in the war by inventing synthetic acetone. What have these flippin Indians in Gallipoli got to do with anything here lol! We are talking about Israel. Oh and I am proud of our Empire and modern day Commonwealth too, a force for good in a very uncivilised world
