    No, according to the Geneva Conventions only armed combatants are legitimate targets. A militant Hamas member who is injured and in hospital is not a legitimate target.

    A journalist, even if he was a Hamas member, is not a legitimate target.

    A doctor, even if he worked for the Hamas run health ministry is not a legitimate target.

      Show me where in the Geneva convention it says this. Go on, find this in the rules of war where it says that. I’ll wait.

      You know just making shit up doesn’t further your cause, it just makes people distrust you.

        The captives returned by Hamas were in way better shape than the captives returned by the IDF. There is no report of Hamas raping or torturing captives, but there is extensive documentary evidence of the IDF raping and torturing captives.

          If you think Hamas follows the Geneva convention you must not follow the conflict beyond Al Jazeera headlines. I don’t know why you people warp yourselves into a position of Isreal bad therefore Hamas must be good. I guess you must think its a good thing they are still fighting and support “eternal resistance”.
