    The words ‘largest’ and ‘functioning’ are doing a lot of heavy lifting here considering one is only recently true and the other is unlikely to be truly accurate.

    Just curious, let’s say that there really are Hamas operatives in this hospital, and there really are the bodies of hostages in this hospital, how would you want Israel to handle it?

      I’m sure there are Hamas operators in the hospital. If you were Hamas, fighting an enemy you can’t face on a level battlefield, what else you do but embed yourselves in the most vulnerable part of the civilian population?

      And we can hardly ask Israel not to fight them.

      I’ve never seen a war like this, not in 5 decades. Both sides are basically terrorists, both are acting in rational self-interest, and neither give a good god damn about the civilians caught in the middle. I cannot see any end to this.

        So, you haven’t been paying attention, have bad perception or are ignorant of history. Specially considering that this war, is only the latest round of a war that Israel started also roughly 5 decades ago and has already killed millions of people, mostly Palestinians.

        What do you mean? Genocide? Jewish people have always been in the Middle East. Forcing them to leave is just as evil as Israel forcing Palestinians off their land.

    I always find it surprising how Israel has to fight for days to just to get access to these hospitals.

    One of the biggest shocks for poor nations during this whole thing is that Gaza has so many hospitals. There are countries with twice the population that have a tenth of what Gaza has.
