    Dr Naji Nazzal said one of the men, who PIJ identified as its member, had been receiving treatment at the hospital since 25 October for a spinal injury which had left him paralysed.

    The last paragraph showing one of the militants assassinated was paralyzed. :bbc-clap:

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      The true war crime was that the person who had been paralysed for months was hiding in a hospital. This forced the Israeli to do defensive war crimes to protect themselves.

      I> How the fuck do you even use optics to disguise this!?

      “Palestine isn’t a recognized nation, thus the Geneva Conventions don’t apply to them.”

      That’s my guess, as funny enough there is a semi similar event in battletech lore where Liao used similar reasoning (“they didn’t sign the Ares Connections, so thus it doesn’t apply to them”) when they went and nuked the Taurians at some point.

      Now, how much would anyone buy that shit is left up in the air.

    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.
