Hamas makes no secret of using hospitals, schools and other civilian amenities as bases for weapons and terrorists.

It's part of their "bare chests" ideology that uses the Gazan population as human shields.

IDF soldiers, singing: "there are no schools in Gaza, because there are no kids in Gaza", posing with underwear of women they displaced, saturating TikTok with war crime videos, blowing up infrastructure with controlled demolition en masse.

"But Hamas"

Right, because in the absence of credible evidence, just saying a thing makes it true... at least for Israeli Hasbara...

  • Generally the burden of proof for a crime is to prove guilt not innocence. Innocence is presumed.

    • I mean, that's my point? Innocense should be presumed, but Israel says "that hospital is a terrorist hotbed of evil!", the western media parrots it verbatim, and then the IDF blows up a hospital - all without credible evidence, and sometimes with fabricated evidence.
