Then I assume you're aware that the Geneva Convention make one exception where hospitals lose their protection: when they're used for a military purpose that is harmful to the enemy.
In other words: a warring faction cannot simply set up a military headquarter, a military outpost or a military attack position in a hospital and expect to enjoy the full protection granted to medical facilities while using it to attack the enemy.
Except that in this case, the UN is explicitly saying that the numbers they're quoting cannot be verified and they're merely cutting the numbers Hamas is giving them.
So the question is: if the IDF cannot be trusted, why should we trust the terrorists?
What does the Geneva Convention say about using civilians as human shields? What does the Geneva Convention say about using hospitals, schools, places of worship as military headquarters or outposts? What does the Geneva Convention say about murdering civilians to prevent them from evacuating from an area that is under attack?
Republicans don't want to govern. Governing means compromising, it means achieving things for people who might not always agree with their position, it means achieving positive outcomes for society as a whole - for other people. And that's just not something Republicans want.
Republicans want to rule.
Despite all the empty talk about "freedom" and "liberty," they want to impose their belief system on everyone, and punish those who disagree. Benefits for the in-group, harsh punishments for the out-group. And as soon as a member of the in-group dissents, they'll be thrown under the bus, labeled a traitor, and be treated as the out-group as well.
The official campaign for the Republican candidate for U.S. President campaigned on the slogan "Make Liberals Cry Again."
The GOP didn't have a policy platform in 2020, but at least their candidate had that slogan, and the Republican masses were cheering and hollering over it at every Trump really.
Everyone on the campaign was okay with that. Everyone in the Republican party was okay with that. Everyone on the Republican National Committee was okay with that.
Tells you absolutely everything you need to know about the current Republican party.
They want to rule, and if they don't get to rule then they're happy to burn everything to the ground so that other people don't get what they want either.
And it doesn't matter if those "other people" are Republicans, too.
The GOP is the party of ruthless, naked selfishness, and Republicans have over and over and over again demonstrated that they'd rather let the entire nation descend into chaos than act against their own, personal self-interest.
I doubt anyone in the current GOP even knows what "taking one for the team" means.
They think that the Ukrainians were being mean to their good friend Vladimir Putin who only has the best interests of America in his heart and is a very good friend to Trump, who has never done anything wrong.
If there Republicans were sick of being identified as the party of Nazis, white supremacists, racists, liars, fraudsters, rapists, conspiracy theorists and generally insane people, then the winning move for all of them (except for the above mentioned insane members) would be to collectively vote with the Democrats.
Sure, that would mean handing the House to Democrats, probably losing the House and possibly more in the next elections, and for s number of them it would mean losing their seats - but the alternative is going to be handing the reigns of the entire party over to the Nazis, white supremacists, racists, liars, fraudsters, rapists, conspiracy theorists and generally insane people.
