Why kill Dr Marwan Sultan?

[TakeMe2Insanity]

Just that, why kill one of the few (2) cardiologists and his WHOLE family? So much for the targeted attacks. Or shall we go with the current zionist theory that all of Gaza is a sleeper cell.
Israel needs to be held to account for the hell they have created.

Your the one who said it though...

Time will tell because obviously a ceasefire will be agreed at some point and the hostages released.

Possibly sooner than we think from what I’ve been reading recently.

I admire your patience!

Or maybe that I went to bed, was dealing with my children, you know all the things that normal mums do, that Israelis do, that Palestinians are unable to do in their homes in Gaza.

The world is waiting for Israel to vote in a moderate government. That is something everyone can agree on.

@SharonEllis
I believe it takes patience from both sides to get their views across. However we reach a point where there is agreement.

So- the death of this Cardiologist and his family at the hands of the IDF was tragic. Whilst it could have been prevented by Hamas giving up their weapons and releasing hostages, it was the Knesset that allowed the IDF to release the bomb that actually killed the family due to their own political reasons for not wanting to end the war.

Do you hate Israel more than Hamas?

So because a bunch of terrorists wont do the right the right thing, innocent people are targeted and murdered?

Israel is clearly going about killing as many healthcare workers as they can, yet still there is an element who defend this behaviour.

So do I.

A bunch of terrorists. You say that as though it's just some cowboys in a spaghetti western movie.

And “won’t do the right thing” is a bit of an understatement!

In fact there are so many wrong things said in that post it’s not worth responding to.

When 'not doing the right thing' is the absolute core of their being, from oppressing their own people and destroying any hope for their future, to launching a genicidal war they couldn't win.

@TakeMe2Insanity and others interested in learning more about the topic of this thread.
Have you seen the documentary on how IDF has targeted and abused other healthcare workers:

Exactly … my dog is “not doing the right thing” when he digs holes in the garden.

What Hamas do is pure evil.

..but targeting healthcare workers & their families is all ok.

Hamas are evil but what the Israelis are doing is evil as well.

Are talking talking about the Israeli govt?

Sigh… they aren’t targeting healthcare workers. There is no logical reason they would do that.

Healthcare workers are being killed because Gaza is a war zone, so are many other people that aren’t healthcare workers.

Don't be silly.

In case you weren't aware there are Israeli mum's on here, they write about running to shelters/safe rooms through the night and day with their kids. Of being constantly aware of where the public shelters are when out and about, or in the absence of one, lying on the ground covering their kids as the missiles go over. (A common occurrence since hamas took over Gaza 20 years ago when all Israelis left, and then in cahoots with Hezbollah in Lebanon started lobbing thousands of rockets over or strapping on suicide vests to use in crowded cafes & buses.)

But even in war there is international law to follow.
What threat was being faced by Israel to make this killing proportionate? The IDF don’t even bother telling us as Palestinians lives seem meaningless to them.
Do we know which Hamas big wig the IDF was aiming for the when they killed this family? If not - how can we know it was proportionate?

That is not true. Doctors have even died whilst being held in Israeli custody. Like Dr Adnan Al Bursh who was featured in the film and murdered in the notorious sde Teiman prison.

What about the medics who Israel killed point blank and buried their ambulances? From the start of the war there has been a systematic attack on the health care system in Gaza.

No cause of death was given by the Israeli prison service and when probed they say what they always do. They will 'investigate' themselves.

You’ve answered it yourself - we don’t know why this family got killed.

I can’t change the way some of you hate Israel so much that you will always assume the worst of the IDF and believe they are targeting all the most emotive groups … women, children, healthcare workers for what… fun?

To me it’s a lot more likely that they were targeting Hamas but there is no point me trying to make you believe that because you just believe that IDF = Bad.

Thats not what happened tho. I think its a common misconception. No one was initially expected to leave their house
@dairydebris this is a blatant lie.

Have you read the story of Bella Hadid grandparents. They literally had to leave their house because of refugees from Poland they took in as Lodgers who kicked them out

There are countless stories like this .

In December 1948 Israel passed Emergency Regulations Regarding Absentee Property this meant Israel could seize the property of anyone that fitted the term absentee.
However "absentee" refered to anyone who was a citizen of an Arab state or went to an area not under Jewish control. If they left their house for one day it could be seized as it was classed as an abandoned property.

So they were expected to give up their house and still to this day this continues. They also have to pay for the demolition of their own houses.
