  1. The phrase “glass houses” spring to mind when it comes to Israel and justify attacks on civilian infrastructure because of military use.

    But I’m sure someone will jump in and say this is a totally justified thing to do because they are the good guys.

  2. Because Hamas “terrorists,” unlike Israeli “soldiers,” won’t shoot an Israeli ambulance or Medevac helicopter. The Electronic Intifada’s close coverage of their operations in Gaza say they routinely have opportunities to attack the Medevac helicopters and don’t. I believe it because if there was even one instance of Hamas attacking a Medevac helicopter I have no doubt we would have heard the Israelis make huge P.R. out of it.

  3. Attacks like these are known and documented for quite a while, and are a clear war crime known as [Perfidy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidy). And yet, despite this knowledge Secretary of State Blinken and Biden have both said that there is STILL nothing they have seen that would lead them to believe Israel is committing any war crimes. They’d rather humiliate their own country’s reputation than give Israel even mild criticism.

  5. Admits is a weird way to say there is a video that was released of Israeli soldiers using an ambulance to murder an old Palestinian lady.

    No way the IDF admits to using an ambulance without the footage being released on social media.

  6. >The Israeli army admitted that “during the operation in Nablus, an ambulance-like vehicle was used for operational purposes, without authorisation and without the relevant commanders’ approval”.

    The IDF is only commenting since the war crime was caught on video, otherwise their standard M.O. has been to deny everything even to the point where reporters show the video.

    >”Then the Israeli military entered the shop – one of them had a pistol. I tried to cover my head and he came closer and shot me twice in the stomach. They put me inside the Jeep with them, covered my face with a kitchen apron and tried to strangle me. Then they started beating me, and on the road, when I asked for water they forced me to open my mouth and they spit in it. Then I remember I was taken by the ambulance before I fainted and lost consciousness.”

    Of course the rest of the brutality and inhumane treatment was not something the IDF had a problem with and didn’t even bother to say they disagreed with.

  7. Considering how people here have a history of defending this sort of stuff, they should have no problem with the idf doing it as well. If anyone gets upset, it’s obviously because they want all Israelis to just die without resisting.

  8. Another war crime by Israel, nothing new under the Sun or anything that will have actual consecuences. They five zero fucks aboit international laws, etc.
