I feel no need to defend Hamas, as to the Hospital explosion, I have no idea which side caused that. Israel says they didn't do it, this is of course after they already took credit for it originally, they also put out fake videos and a fake audio conversation. Hamas or someone put out fakes going the other way as well. So who the hell knows, it's not like an independent observer was allowed to go in and investigate.
What I do know is that this does seem to be going on.
Israel seems to be just bombing the ever loving ***** out of Gaza, and I'm not sure how actually effective that is against Hamas. From everything people have been saying here Hamas is dug in like a tick in all those tunnels, seems like they'd ride out the bombings fairly well. So who is actually the target of this, what's the plan? So far it feels like it killed a bunch of civilians and is making life worse for them, just driving up recruitment for Hamas like Israel's their best supporter.
