Russia bombed plenty of hospitals as well, and that was widely condemned. The only countries that are allowed to bomb hospitals are the US and Israel.
And even though it’s understandable that Iran would bomb a hospital in retaliation of Israel bombing one of theirs, it’s definitely not a smart thing to do, given how things like that play in the Western media.
In addition to it always being a war crime of course, regardless of context.
I’m just trying to clarify when it is and is not a war crime. Bcz some people seem to think it’s not a war crime at all. It confuses me, and I just have to sit here wait for someone to tell me when its good and when its bad, so I know how to feel about innocent injured people in a hospital getting bombed to all hell. Honestly, its baffling how anyone keeps all this stuff in their head all at once.
I want to be on the side of not killing civilians…
It is sad to see politics come before protecting life. People can be so unempathetic.
It’s always a war crime. People will argue that’s exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.
Honestly I think people skip over the human aspect
Bombing a hospital in retaliation does nothing but kill innocent people. The people in that hospital have no control over Israel. Responding to murder with more murder doesn’t help anyone.
