At least 13 people have been killed in a blast outside Gaza City's biggest hospital, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says.

BBC Verify has verified graphic videos showing badly injured and possibly dead people lying outside the hospital.

The Israeli military has confirmed it struck an ambulance that it says was being used by Hamas operatives.

It did not say where the air strike took place.

"An IDF aircraft struck an ambulance that was identified by forces as being used by a Hamas terrorist cell in close proximity to their position in the battle zone," it said in a statement.

I mean that's not what they're talking about (they're just being a bigot), but this is just an escalation of the genocide that started in 1967.

I'm not sure that's what he meant. @mwguy could you clarify about Israels multi-decade long commitment to genocide? You're not a bigot either, right MW?

Tiny Pizza, Has has had a multi-decades long commitment to genocide. My whole life Hamas has been calling for the murder of every Jew on the planet consistently.

Really? How many did they kill?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As many as they've been able too. They went from stonings to gunfights to suicide bombers to rocket artillery to paraglider slave raids in my lifetime.

My whole life I've seen them dedicate more and more firepower to explicitly killing civilians

so none? Your saying the rockets have killed none?

No Mr. Personal Pan Pizza, I'm saying that theyake ~1bn/yr worth of attempted murder and it takes a multi-billion dollar consisten investment in state of the art anti-missle technology to keep those attempted murders from being real murders.

Now if you have tiny little crust and limited toppings options, you might be okay with the intent of an organizations activity to be genocide to the detriment of all of its other responsibilities.

But us more calzone minded folk have folds in our brain. And realize that the intent to do genocide is bad. And taking actions to commit genocide is bad. And furthermore the abandonment of their domestic duties and impoverishment of their own people to accomplish their goal of genocide is generally as indefensible as the purchase of a pizza that can't quench your hunger.

It's weird because I read that comment as saying hamas is motivated by its founding desire to eradicate Israel. Everyone else seems to be reading as Israel is motivated to destroy or takeover Palestine. Both are pretty genocidal atm tho. Poor civilians trapped in the middle.

Interesting. I guess we'll have to see what he says!
