Don't think anyone is going to say Hamas is in the right using such a location to stage themselves. Hamas has no moral high ground.
Nevertheless, you referred to Israeli attacks on military installations as war crimes.
"Military installations"? That is a stretch.
The average Palestinian has a bit less control over Hamas than you seem to be under the impression they have.
Yes, and that is part of the problem, both what Hamas is doing, and what you seem to be suggesting to support.
They are warlords, not a government, no one gave that longshot a try.
A missile launching installation is a legitimate target, even if it's installed on the roof of a hospital.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, after the Iron Curtain came down, wrote an article about the responsibility of the Russian people themselves concerning the camps and deaths under communism. He said they they had responsibility. They could not hide behind "It was the government/rulers", not them. They could have done something but did not. Individually they were powerless but collectively they did had power. Yes there would have been causalities. But they never really tried after the end of the Russian civil war.
By your reasoning, which ignores the problem of initiating collective action, Israeli people brat responsibility for IDF war crimes.
I have never claimed otherwise. War crimes are war crimes.
Says common sense.
That's exactly what would happen in reality. You have Palestinians who support Hamas either as a majority or close to majority. You have other extremist factions like Palestinian Islamic Jihad with supporters. Even the supposedly moderate Fatah keeps a terror wing - Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The most popular Palestinian politician, Marwan Barghouti, is a Fatah member who is serving five life sentences from his terrorist activities in the early 2000s. How do you imagine a "secular state with equal rights" developing from that exactly?
You believing that it is possible does not make it so.
Why isn't Hamas taking care of its population?
For the same reasons the IDF kills the civilians on Gaza: they just don’t care.
She is certainly carrying water for Hamas, either knowingly and willingly, or else as a useful idiot.
Of course there is middle ground. Like the other eight fauxgressive Dems who refused to vote for the pro-Israel, anti-Hamas resolution. But Tlaib is way beyond the likes of AOC or Cori Bush.
Every war has collateral damage. 10k civilians were killed to get ISIS out of Mosul - a single Iraqi city. How many civilians were killed or injured during the entire campaign to destroy the ISIS Caliphate? Why this hyperfocus on collateral damage only when Israel is defending itself, but not in any other wars?
Warfare destroyed the ISIS Caliphate. Warfare destroyed Nazi Germany. The idea that warfare is never the solution, or that civilian casualties are never acceptable is a an extremely naïve one. And also note that this objection is raised only when Israel is defending itself against the genocidal Hamas. I wonder why.
"Refugee camp" is a misnomer. It started as a refugee camp, 75 years ago, but now it is a full-fledged city. The reason why we still have places called "refugee camps" in Palestinian areas is the peculiar way UNRWA is defining Palestinian (and only Palestinian) refugees - as a heritable attribute passed dowm in perpetuity. Most of the so-called "refugees" living in the Jabalya, Beach and other "camps" in Gaza had a great grandparent who was a refugee 75 years ago, that's it.
Because people do raise the objection. I don’t wonder why you don’t pay attention.
Seems very right-wing. Just like
Again, these "camps" are not real camps. They are full-fledged cities that started as refugee camps 75 years ago. Blame UNRWA and the unwillingness of Palestinian society to fully integrate descendens of refugees.
You imagine a real refugee camp, like found in Kenya or at Cox' Bazaar in Bangladesh. But it's just a city that is called a "refugee camp" for historic reasons. And for propaganda reasons, I guess too judging from your reaction to the strike,
Again, not real refugees. How many of the 50-100 are the Hamas fighters including the commander Ibrahim Biari?
They are not "displaced in the camp". They've been living there, most of them all their lives.
If Hamas is not destroyed, it will rearm and rebuild. The only chance at peace is a complete victory over Hamas.
You may call them "right wing" but they get a lot of support, tacit and otherwise, from the left wing. Not only in the US and Europe, but also from Latin American leftists like Maduro, Boric (Acid) and Petro.
