Iran hit an Israeli hospital and in an astonishing demonstration of zero self-awareness, the Israelis are calling it a war crime.
Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel called Iran’s strike on an Israeli hospital on Thursday ‘deliberate’ and ‘criminal’, after the Islamic republic fired its latest salvo of missiles at the country.
Sharren Haskel wrote on X:
Iran just hit Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva with a ballistic missile. Not a military base. A hospital. This is the main medical center for Israel’s entire Negev region. Deliberate. Criminal. Civilian target. The world must speak out.
The accusation would perhaps be more meaningful if the IDF hadn’t been recently, and systematically, bombing hospitals and churches in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Israelis have bombed the Arak nuclear facility in Iran. Which means, of course, that the Iranians will probably hit the Israeli equivalent, if they haven’t already, thereby risking a Chernobyl-style situation in both countries.
I’ve never understood the reliable failure of governments to grasp the basic concept of tit-for-tat, especially in wartime. And if the USA gets directly involved on Israel’s behalf, can we we really be surprised if Russia, or China, elects to do the same for their Iranian ally?
Sources are saying the British, with Zelensky, intend to use an old soviet missile to sink an American ship to blame Russia and instigate Article 5. I am hearing similar rumors about this in the Middle East by the Neocons to claim Iran attacked the US.
One guess as to which ship…
