Imagine Hamas stormed a hospital disguised as doctors, nurses, patients and civilian women, and executed three Israelis.
It would be front page news.
It would be offered up as evidence of their outrageous evil.
I doubt many media outlets will even cover this.
A dozen Israeli soldiers just stormed a hospital, disguised as doctors, nurses, patients, & veiled women & executed 3 Palestinians in Jenin - the West Bank.
The IDF has entire units whose specialty is to fight in urban spaces dressed as civilians, like the “Duvdevan unit 217”.

Dressing up as medical staff to kill injured and unarmed suspects in a hospital - with no judicial process - isn’t just a war crime.
It’s several war crimes.
Declaring “well Hamas would have done even worse war crimes!!” doesn’t save you from the charge of moral depravity.
If Hamas stormed hospitals they would kill everyone indiscriminately. When the IDF stormed a hospital they went to a specific room to kill three particularly bad guys. Thank you for the opportunity to draw a comparison.
