(16,038 posts)"Israel bombed the main hospital in southern Gaza on Monday and then struck the same spot again as rescuers and journalists rushed to help the wounded, killing at least 20 people including five journalists, health officials said.
The first strike hit the top floor of a building at the Nasser hospital, killing the Reuters journalist Hussam al-Masri and others. Journalists and rescuers then rushed to the scene to help the wounded, when a second bomb struck the same spot, 15 minutes later.".... (more)

BY THE WAY -Ryan Grim is a pretty famous source -hes on Breaking Points podcast and they have more viewers than Fox. He also wrote a good book on the squad. He was bureau chief for Huff Po & The Intercept. Hes very progressive.
Israel just bombed a hospital, then murdered the journalists covering the hospital bombing on live TV.
Mohammad Salama, Hossam Al-Masri, Muath Abu Taha, and Maryam Abu Daqqa worked for Aljazeera, Reuters, NBC, and the Independent.
Israel has killed at least 20 people, including several journalists, in a double strike on Nasser Medical Complex, the largest health facility in southern Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave.

What a mockery this genocidal machine has made of the world. Israel has shown it can gas people to death, annihilate them, and then kill the journalists covering that annihilation with zero consequences.
A failed world order. A failed world.

(63,090 posts)Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza killed at least 20 people Monday, including five Palestinian journalists. Eyewitnesses say Israel carried out a "double-tap" strike on the hospital. A drone initially hit the hospital's roof, killing one journalist setting up a live stream, and then another strike hit journalists and rescue workers who were responding to the initial strike. "Israel knew exactly who was there," says Palestinian writer and analyst Muhammad Shehada. "Israel has killed 244 journalists, by far surpassing all 20 years of the war in Vietnam or all six years of the Second World War."

(565 posts)It is specifically designed to maim and kill rescue workers rushing to the site of an atrocity.
Again: A known terrorist tactic.
So what do we call the kill-crazy Israeli government engaging in such tactics?
A terrorist government.
It is as black-and-white simple as that.
No more massacres in my name, please!
My tax dollars are going to fuel a genocide. I am sickened and appalled by the cowardice of our elites in failing to call out what is clearly an ongoing cold-blooded massacre of innocents.
My source for such a statement? The Israeli government itself, who recently revealed their Gaza campaign has murdered 83% civilians.
PS. I don't condemn Jews; I condemn the current GOVERNMENT of Israel.
PPS. I likewise condemn the murderous thugs of HAMAS for their brutality and slaughter of innocents.

(61,018 posts)and "Soldier of Fortune" back in the day which featured stories that glorified cruel Nazi SS officers who delighted in executing prisoners with their Luger pistols, and also of their evil counterpart Japanese officers during WWll who loved to behead prisoners with Samurai swords during long marches.
Now these sort of actions are not fiction stories. They're happening almost daily and are being done ironically by of all people, of Israeli descent.
