"CIA declined to comment. CNN has not seen the intelligence cited by the US official. "
PICS or GTFO
Is that better?
I'm not understanding your comment. That's probably my fault. My comment was intended as a flippant/sarcastic way of saying, "I need more info before I fully believe that Hamas has a 'base' under that particular hospital".
I'm not saying it's a straight up lie. Just, that's a a statement with no solid evidence, so "get outta here with that".
Sincerely, what was "Is that better?" In response to? I communicated badly so I'm lost.
Maybe it's troubles of the Fediverse? I linked a picture in my reply, you can't see it?
I'm not the guy you're replying to but I do not see an image in your first comment. Lemmy Connect for Android
No image on Sync.
No image on mobile browser version either
I see a picture, I'm on kbin. It looks like an overhead shot of the hospital with red boxes indicating "This is a Hamas control station".

I mean, hilariously weak proof kinda deserves it.
Same on Boost
Me neither
That's just a picture with a bunch of buildings highlighted. I don't see how that's proof of anything.
Like that "tunnel entrance" the IDF showed off the other day that was just a water resevoir.
Must be a Fediverse thing. No pic on my end.
Let's just say for arguments sake that it's true. Would that justify idk an air strike on an active hospital? Is that how hostage negotiations are handled? Bomb the bank and be like well the robbers were holed up in the safe underground so really it's their fault we blew all the tellers into a fine bloody mist.
Let's just say that this further proves how hamas using civillian infrastructure as a living shield is an intended thing, if not strategy.
That in no way exonerates or justifies those who are killing patients in an active hospital.
In a way it does. It would be vastly different if Israel would bomb everything while hamas would care about their fellow citizens.
For sake of argument, if this were true, I think the biggest thing is that it would show the international community has been ignoring intelligence and evidence of this and doing nothing. That means the blame is shifted onto the UN and the West imo
Who are we to tell Israel to not bomb resources used to hurt or harm their civilians when we've done jack fucking shit about it? The Israeli government, no matter who's in charge, has a moral responsibility to protect its own civilians. There are still hostages to be rescued and Hamas is still launching attacks at Israel when it is able to do so. Israel just does not have the manpower or resources that we do. They can't go door-to-door and try to minimize civilian casualties while also being prepared for an invasion from their other borders.
So if this is true and we want it to stop, then it's the responsibility of the international community to step in and provide the resources needed to minimize or outright prevent civilian casualties. Israel just does not have that capability.
Let’s just say for arguments sake that it’s true. Would that justify idk an air strike on an active hospital?
Yes.
Incoming Hospital Buster Bomb?
Wait till we find out it was just a hospital basement all along
