In reply to the discussion: WHO 'appalled' by Israel attack on northern Gaza's last functioning major hospital [View all]AloeVera
(2,140 posts)12. A-B-O-M-I-N-A-T-I-ON.
The WHO statement said that some of the staff and those patients who were in a stable condition were moved to an unnamed nearby location, while others had been forcibly transferred to the Indonesian hospital, so called because its construction was funded by Indonesia, which had been badly damaged by earlier bombing and was no longer functional.
Forcibly moving 15 critical patients to a useless hospital that is unable to help them is some twisted mind's idea of what -entertainment? It's sadism, pure and simple. The IDF is now occupying the hospital. How hard would it have been to either wait for the WHO to transport them, or to transfer them themselves to a FUNCTIONING hospital. Not only the moral thing to do but their legal obligation as well.
Additionally, some people were reportedly stripped and forced to walk toward southern Gaza, the WHO said. Some of the medics who had been detained told reporters they had been beaten and stripped by their Israeli captors. Gazas health ministry said: We appeal to the relevant institutions to find a solution for the patients and injured currently in the Indonesian hospital.
It added that some patients and health workers had died at the Kamal Adwan hospital in fires started by the IDF, and that Abu Safiyeh was violently beaten by the occupation forces before his arrest.

Same damned playbook. Every time. Minus the dogs. Next up: Kamal Adwan reduced to ashes and rubble, even its surviving equipment vandalized and destroyed. Like Al Shifa.
Meanwhile the killing goes on. The newly wounded and sick kids, adults will now die in agony.
Never, ever forget.

OP
Right, because the Gazans have no agency for themselves. Stop bombing Israel, return hostages, end war, simple

Yes, and the very least they can do is to be more accurate about what appauls them.

Are you by any chance suggesting that Hamas murderers and their fratricidal leaders are not responsible

Is it just me, or does the name hospital look remarkably close to Jehoshaphat?

Two separate replies for two separate issues: one for the header and the other for the rest of your post.

That was a loaded and a deflective rhetorical question. I didn't have to, but I answered it to make you aware

No, it doesn't have to. It will end as soon as the terrorists move out of civilian areas. Period.
