    Israel made an agreement with the hospital to let an ambulance go and save her. And then blew up the ambulance when it got there. There’s no other definition of that than pure evil.

      Calling it evil almost seems too sterile. Disney villains are evil. Plankton from Spongebob is evil.

      These people are the embodiment of monsters. Grotesque and warped scum that don’t even deserve to be radioactive glass fused to the sandy dirt that holds up their buildings. These are the kind of people that could bring even a pacifist comfort by dying painful deaths. It’s rare anything, anyone, makes me seethe to such a profound degree and imagining them being wiped out in some divine intervention is the only thing that brings me peace.

        Yep, considered myself a pacifist for a long time but these monsters have removed that. Vile humans. And those “protesters” stopping aid getting in, I’m happily see them flattened. I’ve never in my life have I seen such horrors, and for those horrors cheered on by a majority of a countries population. Fucking sick.

    That poor little girl, the family and the heroic paramedics that tried to help. This is horrific and must end.

    I can’t fathom the horror. Our species is fucked.

      She said: “We contacted the ministry of health and they coordinated our safe access with the Israeli authorities. We were given the green light to move the ambulance.”

      But she said the ambulance came under fire soon after it arrived at the location. “First [the paramedics] said the Israeli forces are putting laser lights on them … And then we heard a gunfire sound before we lost the connection. It was like a gunfire or explosion, we were not sure of what happened.”

      The Israelis baited an ambulance in to kill paramedics.

      If this isn’t a war crime, I don’t know what is.

        If that’s what happened I agree. Targeting a marked ambulance which had even notified them is unconscionable.

            I see no evidence that they deliberately baited the ambulance? Bad coordination is the most likely explanation.

            To be clear, even in that case it’s still a war crime to shoot an ambulance.

              In case you missed it

              But she said the ambulance came under fire soon after it arrived at the location. “First [the paramedics] said the Israeli forces are putting laser lights on them … And then we heard a gunfire sound before we lost the connection.

              They attacked the vehicle the girl was in, then gave the red crescent the green light to go in, and then opened fire once the ambulance arrived.

              That’s the textbook definition of baiting.

                Yes someone gave the green light, someone shot at them. Nowhere it’s said those were the same people, nor that the people giving green light knew that the other people were going to shoot.

                The most likely thing is that they forgot to inform one group of soldiers, or that they misunderstood, or some other fatal miscommunication. Miscommunication is common in war. Deliberately baiting an ambulance is both extremely evil and stupid.

                  Attacking a civilian vehicle, then green lighting an ambulance, and then attacking said ambulance is baiting.

                  Given the amount of surveillance by Israeli forces, there is absolutely no reason to doubt that they were listening to the conversations between everyone involved.

      They will pay. It’s written in prophecies. How can any people who had terrible horrors done to them, do the same and worse to their neighbors? They are hypocrites. To think I cried and was depressed when I visited the Holocaust museum. I’m ashamed I felt that way now, and have no sympathy when they cry about what happened to them, because they are today’s Hitler. They are today’s murderous Nazis.

    I want to see the Israel apologists come up with an excuse for this. This is fucked up and anyone who thinks there’s a legitimate reason for this is a psycho.

    There was a video making the rounds on Reddit yesterday of an ambulance getting bombed. Wonder if it was the same ambulance that was bombed on the way to save her.

    The speed at which “the west” is coming to understand what we all know that this aggression is over the top… It’s too late. History is not going to portray us in a friendly light. At this point we all collectively have blood on our hands.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “I’m so scared, please come,” were some of the last words six-year-old Hind Rajab said in a telephone call to rescuers after her family’s car came under fire in Gaza City.Trapped in the vehicle and surrounded by her dead relatives, for three hours she pleaded with the Red Crescent to save her.But the aid agency lost contact with the ambulance dispatched to her aid on 29 January and its crew and Hind remained missing.

    Now Hind’s family has said that she was found dead inside the car in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City on Saturday morning.

    Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada, added: “I will question before God on Judgment Day those who heard my daughter’s cries for help and did not save her.”The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that it had located its bombed-out ambulance just metres away, and that its two paramedics, Yusuf Al-Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun, had also been killed.

    Gaza City has been devastated by fighting between Israel and Hamas since the war broke out four months ago and Hind’s family had reportedly been hoping to seek shelter elsewhere.

    The tragedy unfolded on 29 January, when Hind and her uncle, aunt and cousins attempted to flee approaching Israeli forces and their car came under fire.

    “The occupation deliberately targeted the Red Crescent crew despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to arrive at the site to rescue Hind,” it said in a statement.


    The original article contains 707 words, the summary contains 238 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Israel needs to be invaded and the terrorists known as LIKUD/IDF needs to be destroyed.

    They should not stop until the entire country is rubble, just to make sure they have every last member of these horrible terrorist groups de-armed forever. And any international funding needs to be cancelled immediately.

    If it was acceptable for the people of Israel to do this to Palestine, its only fair right?
