    Only it’s not “known that the hospital is at least partially a front for Hamas” and as you yourself ended up admitting, that can’t be concluded tfrom this video.

    The only source for that idea that the hospital is a front for Hamas comes from the IDF in the form of unverified self-serving statements and videos just like this, which cannot be trusted unless corroborated by an independent source and sometimes end up being publicly shown as complete fabrications (such as the “weapons in the hospital” video were it ended up being spotted by none other than CNN that the weapons had been put there by the IDF as some weren’t there in a video the IDF made before allowing the external Press in for filming).

    You can’t really use uncorroborated pieces of “information” from those who kill people to justify their killings, and in this war this applies just as much to the IDF as it does to Hamas.

    You might want to ask yourself why you implictly trust uncorroborated self-serving “information” coming from one set of people killing innocents - believing in both would be naivety, believing a very specific one is something else altogether, especially when the one side you implicitly choose to believe are the guys openly bombing UN schools and with a 10x bigger body count: it takes quite an internal emotional link to a very specific group of people to keep on trusting them implicitly after they’ve killed over 10k civilians and bombed several UN schools.

    By this point anybody who is not driven by an irrational love for one of those groups neither trusts the IDF nor Hamas.
