Israel cannot negotiate with terrorists or give them what they want....Whilst HAMAS continue hold hostages and put their own people in harms way they cannot be trusted or reasoned with....Whilst Israel needs to avoid civilian casualties it is HAMAS who are putting their people in harms way by using Palastinians as human shields....If HAMAS succeed Israel will continue to be blackmailed by terrorists....HAMAS is the villian in this war!!!
They started out as the villain.
Now Israel is just as bad.
The IDF is targeting women & children: it's part of their genocidal plan.Nobody should be making any excuses for Hamas OR Israel.
They are both guilty of horrendous war crimes.
Israel are targeting HAMAS who are fighting and hiding behind Palastinian civilians....Would you suggest Israel negotiate with terrorists who cannot be trusted and are indiferent to human life....HAMAS are using Palastinian civilians as fodder to further their cause and claim persecution....Claiming Israel has a genocidal plan when they were forced into this conflict and have no choice but to fight terrorists hiding behind civilians is simplistic and ignores HAMAS want civilian deaths to garner sympathy (It is working)....You cannot trust or negotiate with terrorists and HAMAS should stop using civilains as fodder for their cause!!!
The White House says it has its own intelligence that Hamas has a command center under Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, backing up a key Israeli justification for its military moves on the facility.
"We have information that confirms that Hamas is using that particular hospital for a command and control mode" national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One. "That is a war crime."“They have stored weapons there and they’re prepared to respond to an Israeli military operation against that facility,” he added.

Hamas Says All The AK-47s Found In Gaza Hospital Were Strictly For Medicinal Use
GAZA — As reports began to come out that Israeli Defense Forces had discovered a Hamas weapons depot hidden in a Gaza children's hospital, a spokesman for Hamas was adamant that all of the AK-47s found in the hospital were for medicinal use only.
"These were clearly medical machine guns," said Ali Mohammed Al Mohammed. "By confiscating these weapons, they are depriving sick children of the life-saving medical care that these rifles, rockets, and bombs provide. Only people who are truly heartless would take these weapons away from children who are ill. Death to Israel, thank you."
As Israel continues to receive a mixture of support and criticism for its ongoing offensive against Hamas in Gaza, the discovery of a cache of weapons in a children's hospital was a sobering reminder of what the IDF is up against. When pressed on the matter, the Hamas spokesman refused to admit the weapons stockpile was for use in the war. "Don't be ridiculous," Mohammed said. "The weapons were clearly labeled ‘Surgical AK-47s and Explosives.'"
"Why would we hide our weapons in a building with innocent children? That's ridiculous! We only allow essential, life-saving therapeutic weapons in the children's hospital. We're not monsters. Glory to the blood-soaked martyrs. Thank you."
At publishing time, Hamas had sent a formal request to have all of the weapons returned to them immediately. "We really need them back," Mohammed said. "And by ‘we,' I mean the sick children, of course. Yes, not referring to ourselves, the vengeful mujahideen. Totally the sick children."
Not satire.
