I wonder how many Palestinians would trust the Israeli government with the health and safety of their babies. The number can't be very high.

Israel offers to ~evacuate~ dispose of babies from crippled Gaza hospital

-Updated headline for accuracy

[–] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah, wonder how long till they find Hamas supposedly hiding under thier blankets and kill all the babies in self defense.

They going to evacuate the babies to Siberia like Pootie did?

This feels a bit like Russia gallantly "offering" to "adopt" and "care for" Ukrainian children whose families are unfortunately, inadvertently facing some difficulties currently (e.g. death)...

There is a huge need for Israel to actually prove this shit. I've seen only two pieces of evidence that they aren't just collectively wilding out and killing everyone in Gaza. One piece was a brand new version of Mein Kampf that they swear came from a "child's living room" whatever the fuck that means. And the other one was blurry images of a Hamas terrorist that might have been beside a hospital.

Israel is in the top 5 of military powers and they're supposedly fighting terrorists that they've fought for decades who have essentially no modern military capability besides on the ground street fighting. If they have intelligence that Hamas is using hospitals, refugee camps, ambulances, the routes Israel said civilians can use for escape, etc, it seems like there would be no risk in releasing that.

It's put up or shut time. Because all we're seeing is a bunch of evidence of genocide and war crimes. So show us the evidence or just go full mask off (rather than the 80% mask off that they seem to be doing so far) and just admit that Israel is trying to turn Gaza into a parking lot with all that means for civilians.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


GAZA/JERUSALEM, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Israel's military said it was ready to evacuate babies from Gaza's largest hospital on Sunday, where Palestinian officials said two newborns died and dozens more were at risk after fuel ran out amid intense fighting in the area.

Israel's three major TV news channels, without citing named sources, said there was some progress toward a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Israel has said doctors, patients and thousands of evacuees who have taken refuge at hospitals in northern Gaza must leave so it can tackle Hamas gunmen who it says have placed command centres under and around them.

Israeli Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter called the evacuations "Gaza's Nakba" - a reference to mass dispossessions of Palestinians after Israel was founded in 1948.

Israel said earlier it had killed what it called a Hamas "terrorist" who it said had prevented the evacuation of another hospital in the north, which Palestinian officials have said is out of service and surrounded by tanks.

Meeting in Saudi Arabia, Muslim and Arab countries called for an immediate end to military operations in Gaza, rejecting Israel's justification of self-defence.
