that was one of the rationales to attack the building, cut electricity and let patients die.
Have tunnels been found?
They found underground shafts that were built by Israel. They did not find evidence of it being used as a Hamas command center
oh, Iraq produces wmd

You don’t have to be a jerk about it. And after reading about this briefly I think that your presentation is misleading (and possibly factually incorrect; I didn’t immediately find sources that ISIS terrorists died from chemical exposure, though I didn’t look long).
Wikipedia says weapons there were being decommissioned, and The Guardian says when ISIS took the facility the US wasn’t particularly concerned because there was nothing usable or intact there.. We didn’t invade Iraq for decommissioning old weapons.
And it was not far-fetched that Hamas could have been using tunnels under hospitals as a command center. Most people just don’t think attacking the hospital on the surface is justified even if so, since the people on the surface had no way of avoiding it. But any excuse to ethnically cleanse Palestine will do for right-wing Israelis.

You’re being obtuse and misleading. OP is clearly referring to alleged Iraqi WMDs in the lead up, and justification for, the 2003 invasion.
Stockpiles of WMDs were never found in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.
The ISG has not found evidence that Saddam possessed WMD stocks in 2003, but [there is] the possibility that some weapons existed in Iraq, although not of a militarily significant capability."
Thank you for this simple, clear, propaganda-free answer. I stopped trying to find one because it was buried under wildly different kinds of bullshit depending on the perspective of who responded. I’m not surprised that OP had to ask.
I dont think its hard to find accurate information on this war, you just need to know which sources have creditability.
Theres even great Israeli news sources, such as 972 magazine and human rights groups B’tselem and Breaking the Silence.
In the UK theres Middle East Eye. And in the US theres Mondoweiss, The Electronic Intifada, Democracy Now, and The Intercept. Also Human Rights Watch and Amnisty International have published excellent reports.
On the ground in Gaza, Aljazera probably has the best daily coverage.
That was the trouble - I didn’t know which sources were credible. I do now, though! Thanks!

If you trust that random person’s opinion I guess. Not saying they’re wrong (I don’t know) but just because this person trusts these sources, doesn’t make the sources trustworthy automatically. Always question the perspectives and motivations of the writing.
They’ve got the word “library” right in their username! They must be factually correct about everything!
No, of course not. It was a bunker Israel had built in the 1980s that Hamas doesn’t use because Hamas doesn’t use hospitals or schools.
Hamas has always used hospitals and schools. It’s possible for both sides in a conflict to be evil.

You should be able to prove it then.

While possible, it is not the case here.
