How does this make anyone safer ? It's horrific, the impact on the stability of the entire Middle East and Arab world will increase with each escalation.Bombing hospitals in self defence ffs.Biden should be calling for a ceasefire and restraint,he could have done this last week.
So surely they could have just gone up to the chap in charge, said "look old chap, this just isn't on" and that would have stopped everything. Hamas are reasonable like that.
What exactly are you saying? That Gaza is not overcrowded or that Hamas were wandering about the streets carrying paragliders, bombs and machine guns?
Hamas may be evil but they are also clever. They are said to have planned this without using internet or phone messages that can be spied on but relying on word of mouth and handwritten messages. They also have a network of tunnels more than 200 miles long.
The Israeli strikes are - as I am sure the Israeli Government have made clear - surgical strikes against know Hamas military bases and storage points
Which is fine - except that in a crowded area how ever amazing the targetting equipment and accurate the strike when a bomb goes off it does tend to send a lot of stuff flying over a wide area - and a collapsing building is not very discriminatory when it comes to the civilian/military person concept.
How you get round this when one side deliberately operates from civilian areas and doesn;t wear full uniforms is something International Law has not found a way to tackle.
I have not idea what the solution is - but firing rockets and firing machine guns at people who are clearly civilians is wrong
and so it bombing areas where there are clearly civilians.
which is the "less wrong" is a matter of opinion - often based on experience and person involvement to whatever extent
whatever the result of the current conflict/war nothing will ever be solved until the two (or more) sides can talk somehow and come to an agreement
Which neither side is especially likely to do for some time
so, as always, the innocent suffer along with the dedicated
Which they no doubt built without anyone noticing.
WTF are you even on about?
Israel blaming a stray Hamas missile for the deaths.

I gave my take on the situation in post 409 and 416, which, isn't dramatically different to your post 430.
So what was the point of your post #460? Are you saying that the citizens of Gaza could /should have stopped Hamas?
Israel blaming a stray Jihad missile for the deaths.

Israel ordered hospitals to be evacuated in advance of bombing them. It seems reasonable to believe, therefore, that Israel deliberately bombs hospitals. This won’t be the last.
