Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“These attacks by both Hamas and Fatah constitute brutal assaults on the most fundamental humanitarian principles,”

It says both. They fired at hamas, hamas fled to a safe zone and the Fatah fired on the hospital.... And hamas returned fire.

Yes, they returned fire from the hospital.

EDIT: the part you quoted doesn't say who was firing from where.

Aside from third party articles that dispute most if not all of the claims therein specifically the doctors and nurses they reference are a. Not known to be workers there, b. At least one of those doctors was under isreali detention only to be executed later.

If you choose to believe that by all means do but don't expect everyone else to.

I can't independently verify if the source is accurate since I wasn't on the ground in Gaza when this happened. I'm just telling you what the article said. I don't think it's a good practice to lie to people about the claims that sources make.

Fun fact neither was the author, it's taken from Israeli reports.

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't have to believe Israeli reports to accurately interpret what an article says.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you know more than what is included in the article you can infer things from that as well, you know being well read on the subject your providing sources for is on you not me.

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wasn't providing a source. I was telling you that your interpretation of the words in the article (that we both read) was not accurate. It makes more sense for you to counter that other person with a different article than to claim it says something that it didn't. Maybe I'm wording this in a bizarre way.

Ok thought experiment, what humanitarian issue do you think they were talking about.
