Good points? Horseboy overlooks Trump's complicity on the absolute obliteration of Yemen ... and that of the rest of the world.

I've been jumping up and down about it for years .. Horseboy calls me a virtue signaller when i do. Or over emotional.

But so it goes. But if you were even a little bit clever, you'd piece together desperation with ultimate response and factor that in, that's if you want to move forward.

Of course, you could just scorch the earth and hope no more terrorists grow from the ashes. Like that's ever worked before.

Oh!? What Muslims do to each other is Trumps responsibility.
Are the current wars in Gaza and Ukraine and Darfur etc, etc  Biden's responsibility then? Shurely shome mishtake.

What lies beneath Gaza’s largest hospital, al-Shifa, has been an open secret for years among ordinary residents of the territory, and not least of all to officials watching from the eyrie of Israel’s vaunted security establishment.

Above ground is an overrun hospital; below the surface is a military nerve centre so vast that even terrorists captured on Oct­ober 7 were happy to gossip about it with interrogators.

“Most senior Hamas political and military officials are hiding in the hospitals, especially in Shifa,” one Hamas operative said during questioning, video of which was released by the IDF.

On Dec. 8, 2016, US Central Command released a statement: “Coalition Strikes Mosul Hospital.” The Islamic State, it explained, “was using the hospital as a base of operations and command and control headquarters.” Accordingly, the US-led coalition conducted precision strikes in support of Iraqi troops who fought for the hospital.

The story, and the scandal, wasn’t that the US struck the terrorists where they hid, but that terrorists had used the hospital for cover in the first place. “In Mosul Battle, ISIS Used Hospital Base” was the Human Rights Watch headline; it explained that “armed forces or groups should not occupy medical facilities, undermining their protected status.”

Today in Gaza, Hamas terrorists use the same war-crime tactics. Only now observers rush to apologise for it. See the front page of the Human Rights Watch website: “Unlawful Israeli Hospital Strikes Worsen Health Crisis.” For 4,500 words, the group acts as Hamas’s defence attorney, contesting Israel’s claims and dismissing evidence.

The real story, as Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has documented, makes a great deal more sense. Hamas has used the hospital at least since 2006, when a PBS documentary showed terrorists roaming its halls and cordoning off wings. Even Human Rights Watch admitted in 2007 that Hamas had fired at Fatah, its Palestinian rival, from within the hospital.

In the 2008-09 war, Hamas leaders hid in a bunker under the hospital. The New York Times wrote that Hamas operated openly in the halls. In the 2014 war, the Washington Post reported that Shifa was a Hamas “de facto headquarters.” Amnesty International found that Hamas tortured prisoners on hospital grounds.

On Tuesday the White House confirmed what Israel has long alleged. National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby cited U.S. intelligence that “Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad members operate a command and control node from al-Shifa in Gaza City.”

Negotiate a two state solution with such people.

Contrary to media claims of an Israeli “siege” of al-Shifa hospital, Israel days ago opened a humanitarian corridor from the east side of the hospital to get civilians out. Many have since fled, as Israel first warned them to do a month ago. Israel is in contact with the hospital and offered to evacuate patients for treatment elsewhere. Hamas has resisted a transfer — it prefers patients, including babies, to remain in the war zone.

Israel responded by working to transfer incubators and respirators to the hospital. On Sunday Israel risked troops’ lives to leave 300 litres of fuel outside the hospital entrance. The U.S. State Department confirms that Hamas had the hospital decline the fuel.

Hamas can end the hospital crisis any time it wants. It could let Israel get patients to safety or stand down at the hospital. It refuses to do so, counting on the West to bail it out by forcing Israel to stand down instead. Many are eager to apply that pressure.

As law, this is groundless. As morality, it is backward. As a strategy to win the war, it plays into Hamas’s hands.

Larry is likely autistic and so thinks he has a much better understanding, has more knowledge than he actually does.

Explains a lot of his posts.

That's not how autism works. Please don't insult autistic people by using them as a blanket for other people's bad behaviour.
