Hamas tried to sneak its fighters out of the Gaza Strip in ambulances that evacuated dozens of wounded Palestinians to Egypt earlier this week, a senior Biden administration official said Friday.

Hamas had compiled a list of the seriously wounded that it wanted to evacuate from Gaza for treatment in Egypt, along with thousands of foreign nationals looking to flee the enclave.

The list was then vetted by Egypt and the United States, which found that a third of the names on it were of Hamas fighters, the administration official said, adding that the list was rejected and none of the 76 wounded Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances out of Gaza were members of the terror group.

    Fighters need medical treatment like anyone else when they get wounded, just saying …

          There’s no need to be cutting civilian’s heads off regardless of your back story. That is evil.

            That is an obvious and trivial truth that I of course agree with. However, murdering innocent palestinian olive farmers, to steal their land and build illegal settlements on it also seems pretty evil, right?

                I didn’t say anything about either side. All I said is cutting people’s heads off is evil. I also specifically mentioned civilians without stating a side. Great assumptions though.

                For the record both sides are monsters. Whether they were driven to it in your opinion or not. And the civilians on both sides are victims.

                  I see now that we in fact share the same opinion.

          I never said it was simple. But Hamas murdered completely innocent civilians - including babies - that they actively and intentionally targeted. They are irredeemable monsters.

            In any case!

            There are many people on both sides who see it the way you do. Funny part is, what side is good and what side is evil changes, based on who you ask. Based on individual perspective, ones terrorist is another ones freedom fighter. Please understand that ones judgement is only a personal, subjective opinion and never an objective truth and that one atrocity can never justify another atrocity.

      Like you said later, the world isn’t simple good and evil. If they don’t surrender, they don’t get treatment. The IDF would hardly treat a member of Hamas and Hamas would hardly treat a member of the IDF. A group treating civilians can tell members of both to fuck off.

      But you’re not entitled to enter Egypt to get it if your a member of Hamas, as the Muslim Brotherhood and it’s offshoots are banned there.

        Every injured person deserves treatment, no exceptions, anything else would be inhumane.

            What do you mean by admit? You mean to treat? Yes of course. As I said, imo every sick or injured person deserves medical treatment, no matter their background. Also, when they are healthy again, I would want to see that Nazi getting put in front of a court, questioned, convicted and punished as the law dictates.

                  Egypt doesn’t want to admit people from a group that successfully terrorized their whole nation for an extended period of time. They have no interest in convicting them.

                    I understand that but for injured people they should make an exception, it would be the humanist thing to do.

        Those stories regarding killing babies have been shown conclusively to be false, and the journalists responsible have publicly retracted the statements and apologized for the disinformation.

          There were definitely dead babies wtf do you mean? Has “there were no 40 beheaded babies” now morphed into “no dead babies at all” or what?

            I never said it was. The world is full of shades of grey.

            You first comment seemed to imply a different worldview, apologies.

            But the way this group has tried to resist oppression is despicable and cannot be excused.

            Of course it can´t. There is guerrilla warfare and then there is barbaric slaughtering of helpless civilians. Those are absolutely not the same.

          No it’s not, see the reaction of journalists/politicians who attended the screening of 43 minutes of 7-Oct atrocities…

            Both sides have been in an exchange of atrocities for decades now. What is your point?
