Says the man who continually refuses to address the point I made about UNRWA; when this UN affiliated aid agency employs Hamas terrorists in disguise who took part in the atrocities of 7 October 2023, and then subsequently held wounded and dying hostages captive in their facilities in Gaza, how are the IDF supposed to differentiate between terrorists and civilians.

 

If civilians, and more disgustingly, aid workers, are actually terrorists, what do you expect the IDF to do in this war.

This is deflection of Olympic standard; how can it possibly be an irrelevance ? Hamas terrorists working for, and controlling, the main aid agency in Gaza, UNRWA, is the reason that the IDF cannot trust any agency in Gaza not to be terrorists. If the UN’s main aid agency in Gaza has Hamas terrorists controlling it, how can any other agency be trusted not to be terrorists.

 

Nothing could possibly be more relevant to the topic than UNRWA’s abuse of its status as an aid agency, and you want to dismiss it as an irrelevance.

 

Your dismissive attitude towards terrorism, and relentless criticism of those trying to fight it is shameful.

Where did anyone claim the slaughtered paramedics were members of Hamas? 

 

The IDF claim they killed 6 Hamas members. Out of the 15 killed we know that 6 were the Local Civil defense and one UNRWA operative. Until the IDf finish their side of the  investigations that all we have.

I wonder why the IDF thought it necessary to bury the Ambulance(s)?

 

Perhaps that another aspect of this slaughter of Paramedics an international investigation can look into.

I also wonder why the IDF told the UN where the bodies and ambulance were buried? Lots of questions eh Chomper.

 

Hamas uses ambulances and more broadly human shields for terrorism. "President Trump understands the impossible situation this tactic creates for Israel and holds Hamas entirely responsible," Hughes said, according to Reuters.

Hamas has long used ambulances and other humanitarian symbols to further their disgusting goals.  It is a common tactic.  The families of those who were killed need to put the blame solely where it shoud reside- with Hamas. Plus the Hamas track record on accurately reporting casualties is less than good. 


Every dead Gazan is an advertisement for Hamas. Ask them why they wouldn't let Gazan civilians shelter in the massive tunnel network they built (with international aid money). Or why bunkers to hold weapons were built under schools, hospitals, and mosques.

I think it’s an accepted principle that the prison who pulls the trigger is the killer.

Context on how and why this happened is important. It s not as easy as saying the person who pulled the trigger is the killer. You are right. Hamas using ambulances is a go to tactic for them in their murderous terror activities

 

 

“Al-Qassam has its own ambulances, some of which are located on the military base. The appearance of the ambulances is similar to the civilian ambulances so that they will not arouse suspicion or be bombed by Israel,” says one Hamas terrorist.
Another Hamas terrorist says that “during combat, the ambulances are used, among other things, to evacuate fighters, commanders and operatives. They also transport food, cargo and weapons in them because that is the safest way to transport them.”

A mistake of war...   The IDF are of course responsible. But, its understandable that such a 'mistake' has been made.

 

Its not proven that there were any Hamas terrorist amongst the dead, neither is it proven there were not.

It would seem they were covering their tracks, at least 'some' of the deal were real Paramedics - I suspect it was this the IDF attempted to hide, perhaps due to the inexperience of a younger crew and knowing that many will blame them for such an error.

Expand  

 

Agreed - they also need to 'name their dead' and confirm that all of them were not Hamas terrorist - this also needs outside verification which is extremely difficult to do. 

 

Then there is the possibility that Hamas terrorists may actually be masquerading as Paramedics.

 

All part of the smoke and mirrors of warfare - nothing is clear cut as onlookers want it to be so we can draw our conclusions without ambiguity.

Sh!t happens in a war. Especially when one side are dirtbag terrorists who hide behind civilians and use civilian vehicles and aid vehicles for cover. 

 

The IDF didnt just shoot them up for the hell of it. They did so for the very valid reason that Hamas specializes in blending in amongst civilians and aid workers.

So you ignore the Custom and Practice of The International Committee of the Red Cross. founded in 1863, incorporating The Red Crescent in 1876, Nobel Peace Prize winners in 1917,1944 and 1963.

 

Since June 2006, Magen David Adom has been officially recognized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as the national aid society of the State of Israel under the Geneva Conventions, and a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society. 

 

I question both of your posted clips, the first one of the Hamas combatant being picked-up, and clearly wounded,  as a casualty from The Erez Crossing, by the Red Crescent.

 

The other clip of Hamuda Riad Asad Shamalahis is clearly while he is in Israeli custody, which I wouldn't question if it was independently verifiable that it was not taken under duress.

This has nothing to do with the Red Cross winning nobel prizes or International protocol or history. You can stop the off topic diversion.

 

This is about terrorists infiltrating Red Crescent ambulances. The same way they infilrated the UN, which was also captured by video and the  kidnapping of dead bodies.

 

Even the hostages released from Gaza state the same.

 

Former hostage Hagar Brodutch has revealed harrowing details of her abduction and captivity by Hamas terrorists in Gaza, including the transportation of hostages in ambulances across the territory.

I'm more than willing to wait for the outcome of this investigation: 

 

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) initially denied targeting ambulances, claiming troops fired on vehicles believed to be carrying Hamas militants. However, following the release of video evidence, the IDF admitted its earlier account was “mistaken” but maintained that six of those killed had links to Hamas—a claim for which no evidence has been provided.

Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Israel’s army chief, has ordered a deeper investigation into the incident after an initial review concluded that troops acted out of a “sense of threat

.

It's a historical fact unfortunately. Hamas using ambulances was even claimed by Mahmoud Abbas the president of the Palestinian Authority back in 2009 as evidenced in the vid below! It will never change until Hamas are no longer in power in Gaza and more incidents will occur as a result. This is not the first tragic incident since Oct 7th and will not be the last. The same as Hamas will carry on using hospitals and UN shelters. Incidents will carry on in those locations. 


This is NOT the first time Hamas has exploited ambulances for terrorism.
