Doctors accuse Israeli troops of desecrating bodies and shooting civilians at hospital Israel says was Hamas 'command ce

[Beastly Boy]

33. "Claims relate to an eight-day operation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the Kamal Adwan Hospital last week"

As of Dec. 19, which was... umm... 4 days ago, only one known case of the hospital's staff being interrogated. And we know the testimony CNN is referring to is more recent than a week ago... how? And we know the doctors giving the testimony were vetted..when? By whom? To what effect? Were they allowed to remain in the hospital? Certainly CNN has no clue, and neither do you! Which doesn't prevent CNN, or yourself, from painting, out of thin air (or worse, the testimony of suspected Hamas operatives), "a disturbing picture of how the IDF carried out the operation, as doctors were interrogated for their connections to Hamas". Disturbing indeed, CNN!

"The IDF says that Hamas hides terrorist infrastructure" .
No, silly! The IDF says they have a Hamas general heading the hospital who confirms Hamas hides terrorist infrastructure! And the Hamas general tells IDF he had 16 Hamas operatives in the hospital, and weapons too, not to mention stating directly that the hospital was being used for military purposes.

Unsurprisingly, at least one of the pants on fire testimonies from a suspected hospital nurse (Tanteesh, the nurse) had already been debunked, with CNN somehow managing to remain oblivious of it. Silly them! The other actual human being doctors quoted in the article are also suspected of being the actual Hamas operatives. And theirs is the testimony CNN is relying on, unconfirmed by anyone else! Silly CNN!

As far as a hospital becoming a military target, CNN is reporting on the testimony that guns belonging to able-bodied "security guards" were present inside the hospital. Even if you doubt the testimony of the Hamas general directly stating it to be the case, this testimony alone confirms that able-bodied non-medical personnel were present at the hospital, making it a military target.

Which brings us to Rule 28 of International Humanitarian Law:

Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy.

Notwithstanding Article 19 of the 4th Geneva convention, I would venture a wild guess that a hospital run by Hamas general with 16 Hamas operatives on his staff is outside of the hospital's humanitarian function and is harmful to the enemy even if the combatants are not armed, no? Being a military target is not the only way for a hospital to lose its protections. Silly CNN, they can't even look up the shit that any joe shmoe on DU has easy access to!

I think CNN has a lot to answer for.
