Israel directs public hospitals not to treat Hamas terrorists

Health Minister Moshe Arbel issued a directive to the public health system in Israel to refuse to treat captured terrorists on Wednesday afternoon.

"Since the beginning of the fighting, the issue of treating the damned and despicable Hamas terrorists within the public hospitals has piled up a tremendous difficulty on the health system," wrote Arbel.

"In these difficult times, the health system should focus fully on the treatment of the victims of the criminal massacre, the IDF soldiers and preparedness for the next," added the health minister. "The task of securing and treating the cursed and despicable terrorists within the public health system significantly harms these efforts and therefore, under my guidance, the public health system will not treat them."

the hypocritical oath!

I would also still appreciate some danger.



"40 headless babies" is going to stick around because it nullifies forthcoming Israeli war crimes.

It set the atrocity bar. Any number of murdered Palestinian children under 40, with heads, or over 12 months old will be "less tragic" than this imaginary benchmark.

It's a common psychic reaction to seeing any situation you instinctively, in your hearts of hearts, know is unjust, but where you fall on the side of the beneficiaries of that injustice. At that point any sympathy must carry a tinge of responsibility and guilt, so sympathy must be aggressively rejected. You see the same thing with wealthy people who get frothing mad at the mere existence of homeless people, it's a psychic overcorrective reaction to a subconscious understanding of your common humanity with the suffering, where the solution is to loudly and actively reject their humanity, so you don't have to feel any guilt.

There’s nothing to be gained by posting about this on social media or talking about it with people who you’re not very close to, assuming at least that you’re in the USA, because you will not open eyes and you will not change opinions, this is overwhelmingly being messaged in a way that it’s best just to keep your head down, idk if I thought it would come to some good to speak up I’d say differently, but there is no benefit and only problems sorry

One thing I have noticed is nobody is even talking about this offline. I have not heard a snip of conversation even from people I hear occasionally talk about Ukraine, idk, nobody seems to want to talk about it anyway and honestly I’d oblige

Honest answer is that I’m limiting any comments, social media likes, etc to stuff that’s very clearly about open Israeli war crimes on civilians and don’t touch anything Hamas related.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

Judges 16:30 posted:

Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.

quote:

Although nuclear weapons were viewed as the ultimate guarantor of Israeli security, as early as the 1960s, the country avoided building its military around them, instead pursuing absolute conventional superiority so as to forestall a last resort nuclear engagement.[16] The original conception of the Samson Option was only as deterrence. According to United States journalist Seymour Hersh and Israeli historian Avner Cohen, Israeli leaders like David Ben-Gurion, Shimon Peres, Levi Eshkol and Moshe Dayan coined the phrase in the mid-1960s. They named it after the biblical figure Samson, who pushed apart the pillars of a Philistine temple, bringing down the roof and killing himself and thousands of Philistines who had captured him, mutilated him, and gathered to see him further humiliated in chains as retribution for his massacres of their people.[17][18][19] They contrasted it with ancient siege of Masada where 936 Jewish Sicarii committed mass suicide rather than be defeated and enslaved by the Romans.[20][21]

quote:

In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador informed President Nixon that "very serious conclusions" may occur if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option.[23][24][25][26][27]

quote:

We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.

In short: Israel's nuclear policy is to ensure the destruction of the world if Israel is "lost".

Or, at least to phone up the US president and say that is what is going to happen if you don't start loading up every cargo plane you have right now.
