I mean why should I believe Israeli state propaganda? They do actually need justification for what they did, so they have a strong need to proove what legalized their actions.
Also I feel like if there are tunnels below the hospital, that's kind of far away from their claim of Hamas having their central points under hospitals.
Finally, the weapons and "signs of hostages being held there", for the first part I'd say it's 50:50 of who placed them there. For the hostages I'd hope for the sake of the hostages that they were being held near Hospitals, so there's a chance of them still being alive after all the bombing.
But maybe I am delusional, I admit that seing all those deaths in the past weeks made me loose all sympathy that was left for the state of Israel.
"for the first part I'd say it's 50:50 of who placed them there" totally agree. That's exactly why I left them out of the equation.
"that they were being held ear Hospitals" but that's exactly the point, isn't it? If there were hostages there, then that's undeniable proof that there were Hamas terrorists there. No matter, why they were kept there, this remains an undeniable consequence.
All that aside, I too hate all of the bloodshed that is happening to the people of Palestine. Even though, I also understand why Israel was forced to do what they are doing now. No matter, who did what in the past, there simply is no conceivable timeline in which the events of the past weeks would have played out any differently and I bet that's exactly what Hamas was counting on. They need the people to hate Israel so they can keep their power and they don't care how many Israelis and Palestinians get killed in the process.
