Re: MSF says three doctors killed in strike on north Gaza hospital

152 attacks on medical facilities in 5 weeks….no human with a functional brain believes this isn’t an intentional targeting of civilians.

Just because Israel doesn’t kill all the civilians with bullets or bombs doesn’t alter the fact that they are still killing civilians by denying access to medications for diabetics or dialysis for those who need it, or just basic things as anti-diarrheal medications to counteract the effects of contaminated water.

What gets overlooked in all the discussion of war crimes is WHY we have those laws established in the first place. If we mistreat the civilians or prisoners of war of other nations, then our own people face the same fate. The laws of war aren’t suspended if one side violates, and both may eventually be held accountable, but in the interim, violations on one side of a conflict increase the risk of blowback violations from the opposing side.
