The Israeli military said it was carrying out a raid on Wednesday against Palestinian Hamas militants in Al Shifa Hospital, the Gaza Strip's biggest hospital, and urged them all to surrender.
We expect Hamas to lie and disrespect international laws because they are a resistance group or a terrorist organization.
Israel is different because they are “recognized” as a state by the UN and should be held to a different standard.
You believe the IDF lied in their PR videos and we should consider them a terrorist organization.
We need to see more and better evidence to back up IDF claims, but regardless of what evidence they produce their actions are war crimes.
With that understanding, I would like to add that Hamas is also a political organization and the ruling power in Gaza. No one can hold a position of authority in Gaza without the consent of Hamas. Hamas also has offices and leadership throughout the Middle-East. Two prominent examples are in Doha, Qatar, and Cairo, Egypt.
