They’ve already been caught lying…
Even the videos produced so far have raised questions under scrutiny. A BBC analysis found the footage of an IDF spokesperson showing the apparent discovery of a bag containing a gun behind an MRI scanning machine, had been taped hours before the arrival of the journalists to whom he was supposedly showing it.
In a video shown later, the number of guns in the bag had doubled. The IDF claimed its video of what it found at the hospital was unedited, filmed in a single take, but the BBC analysis found it had been edited.
They knew there was a large basement, because they built it…
Israeli forces say they are still carefully exploring the site. The video presentation of al-Shifa did show the main facilities lay deep underground, and it is quite possible the Israeli soldiers have not reached them yet, so there could be much more to come. But the attempt to present what has been found so far as significant is bound to fuel scepticism about whatever is presented later.
There are questions over how much of its graphic presentation of the network under al-Shifa was based on what Israel knew already; its own architect had built an extensive basement area there the last time Israel directly occupied Gaza, up to 2005.
And even if they weren’t lying, it’s still not enough to get around the Geneva Convention…
All of this is significant under the Geneva conventions, which forbid military operations against hospitals unless “they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy”. This exception, spelled out in article 19 of the fourth Geneva convention, states specifically: “… the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants and not yet handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy”.
There’s no rationale reason to believe any claims made by Netanyahu’s government. Time after time they make these outrageous claims, and if they actually try to show evidence it turns out to be at best a misrepresentation, but often outright fabrication
Man, it’s almost like apartheid governments engaging in ethnic cleansing can’t be trusted to operate in good faith or something. Imagine that.
If that MRI machine is in use then that gun can’t have been there very long, the extremely powerful magnetic field means metal objects can not be present in the same room while the machine is active.
Just yesterday I saw a video where a chair exerted 2000 pounds of force when next to the working MRI machine.
Can’t imagine guns being near.
I would presume the MRI was in use up until the hospital’s electricity was cut when the IDF started its siege a couple days ago. So those guns apparently manifested in that bag in that location since then. Which really does make them seem planted.
So they found almost as many guns as a typical American household and like, a calendar written in Arabic? Yeah, they should definitely keep looking. I’m sure the weapons of mass destruction are in there somewhere. /s
I was gonna say the amount of guns they found is less than what you see on a republicans christmas card.
It’s about the right amount for seized property taken from fighters which they probably don’t let them keep on them for obvious reasons.
I’ve seen them and you are wrong. I don’t see Republicans with RPG rounds and plastic explosives.
Only because they’re so illegal they’re hard to get with few exceptions
I would If I could
But you can’t so you won’t
Maybe you could volunteer to go into those rat holes.
Why would they need to? Did that person bomb the hospital and now needs to justify it?
The best thing to do with those tunnels is just blow them up. But now they will be forced to enter to give the weenies some sort of proof. They found dead hostages and a large amount of weapons but that isn’t enough.
Blow them up without actual proof of any “main HQ used by enemy” but only intel gained from multiple source, and kill thousands of refugees, dozens of doctor, and hundreds of patients, under a protected ground by the Geneva Convention which UN member have to observe.
You sir are fucking brilliant.
I’m just thinking about booby traps and suicide vests… Pardon me.
Dead soldiers are always better than dead civilains. I say that as a veteran.
Those things they haven’t found yet?
The best thing to do would be to end apartheid.
How does that give you the evidence you so desperately need?
That I need? I’ve seen more than enough to draw my own conclusions about what Israel is up to. They seem to want to convince the world of something, though.
So, your judgment is predetermined. Figures.
As far as I’m aware, they found one dead hostage near, not at, the hospital, 1 vehicle with weapons, a film of a cache of weapons that BBC analysis showed had been edited and altered and 1 tunnel shaft.
Even if we take all that at face value (which the BBC analysis demonstrates we shouldn’t), this is hardly the command centre of Hamas that the IDF has led us to believe was its reason for bombing a hospital.
They found two and perhaps you or the BBC should go down into the spider hole. Great way to be sent home in a bag.
I’m sure journalists will be allowed into the ‘tunnel’ after the IDF have been down there long enough to make the requisite changes.
So your views are predetermined too. Not really original.
Just poke a camera inside and prove it isn’t just a basement! Until I see proof that the hole is a tunnel I will assume it’s just a hole.
Hell, send a small drone or robot. You know those shiny toys we give up our healthcare for 🙃
First of all I would doubt that even that would convince you of anything. It will just lead you to your next doubt.

What about the hostages?
Dead people at a hospital!?!!?!? No way!
This isn’t complex and I’ve not actually seen any proof of dead hostages nor are we likely to find it anytime soon. I imagine I’m a couple days Israel will say they have genetic matches while ignoring the fact they keep genetic records of their citizens.
Is that two cans of WD-40?
Gotta have two in case one doesn’t open, hank hill style

Case lube, in sandy environments when you load higher caliber weapons it’s not uncommon to wipe them down with a rag covered in light oil so the case doesn’t jam and render the weapon inoperable for at least some time.
I like the two random giant bullets of different calibers arranged next to the AK as if to suggest that rifle could suddenly become capable of firing them. If the IDF had found either of the guns capable of firing those rounds it would be front and center of their “evidence,” because those guns are huge and scary looking.
Those rounds are about the right size for a soldier to carry around in their pocket to “find” and imply the existence of heavier weapons, but I’m sure the IDF would never stoop to such obvious and underhanded tactics.
Israel lieing again? Say it ain’t so.
Oh shit guys…I’ve got 3 guns and some wd-40 in my closet. Am I a terrorist headquarters?
Is this like the actress playing a Gazan nurse propaganda video?
Huh.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise
