    Okay, let’s say you’re a cop and you have an injured prisoner but no car. You grab a vehicle off the street and bring the guy to the nearest hospital. You don’t want your prisoner to escape, so you stand guard outside the room while he’s getting treated, then take him into custody.

    You see the problem here? In one viewpoint, it’s a soldier responsibly getting treatment for a prisoner; in another viewpoint, the entire hospital complex had enemy soldiers in it at some time and therefore deserves to be razed to the ground.

      Now substitute prisoner with kidnapped hostage you have no right to touch and that you most likely shot yourself.

        The police all over the world shoot people all the time and then bring them to the hospital to get fixed. There’s nothing suspicious about it.

        And yet that still doesn’t make that hospital a Hamas HQ and hence the deaths due to the IDF attack on it justified…

        If some mob guy shoot some person to teach him a lesson and then brough them to the hospital, that would not in any universe make the hospital a “Mob HQ” and justify a military attack on it killing civilians and medical personnel.
