    For some reason the article from the Tory-controlled BBC doesn’t mention the word “war crime”. It does however have the following:

    The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the guardian of the Geneva Conventions which codify international humanitarian law, has expressed concern over the raid.

    “Under international humanitarian law, hospitals and medical patients should be respected and protected at all times”, the ICRC said, adding that it would raise the issue “as part of its confidential dialogue with the concerned authorities”.

    The use of the phrase “concern” leaves the casual reader with the impression that the illegal zionist entity just got a warning or that there is merely a difference of opinion and not a blatant war crime.

    The anodyne language used by media, government and other bureaucracies is doing an amazing job of covering up the horror and wicked criminality of such acts. It is one of the more effective methods of propaganda employed.
