 @signal_and_rizz All the stuff around the al-Shafi hospital without mentioning that Hamas is using it as a command node, the effort is about going after those elements specifically not some going in to massacre civilians, Hamas not allowing the additional fuel provided by IDF to be used to run the generators to be used, etc. etc. 
 Where did you read the part about the fuel?

“Israel has blocked the delivery of fuel into Gaza, saying that Hamas has sufficient stores of fuel for hospitals and new deliveries could be stolen by militants.”

 Saying all the Jews at Auschwitz died of typhus and TB is exactly the same as saying Hamas is using Al-Shifa Hospital as a command node.

In both cases the genocidaires had every reason to lie, and a history of lazy efforts at fakes.

In both cases, the testimony of Europeans from neutral countries flatly contradicts the lies of the genocidaires.

A small number of Jews at Auschwitz may or may not have actually died of typhus. Hamas may or may not have deeply dug tunnels passing underneath the hospital.

In both cases, the both sides are expected to refrain from massacring civilians, and use minimum force and only when the harm would be proportionate to the military advantage gained. So, zero.

I hope to see Bibi Netanyahu and Ben Gvir swinging from ropes. Biden too if mentally fit to stand trial. May seem unlikely now, but the original Nazis thought the same in 42-43!
