Well Andy, they are the guys being oppressed and, in my opinion, it was a very good idea to set up their base in a hospital. It was also very brave
because I would have bet a weeks wage that Israel would still have bombed the hospital.
What many people forget about the Palestinians is that they were more or less turfed out of their homes and lands to make way for the Jews
"displaced" after WWII, and ever since then they have watched Israel annex more and more of their lands (which is illegal under to the UN) and grow
ever so powerful in the last 60 or so years.
Let us not also forget;
that the Israelis have built a wall to keep Palestinians IN,
that the reconstruction of Gaza has hardly begun due to Israeli blockades in place since 2007,
that Israel also plan to build 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem that goes against the Quartet's plans to bring peace and stability to the region
even though expansion is illegal.
Are we also going to forget the illegal use of white phosphorous weaponry by Israel in the most recent Gaza conflict in civillian areas? That is why I
am very surprised that Israel didn't fire on that hospital. But, they have certainly commited more than their own fair share of war crimes in recent
years...
Has everyone forgotten about their Hitler-esque tactics for going to war with Lebanon a few years back?
