Stop pretending hospital peril is all on Israel, Joe, and call out Hamas’ central role in endangering civilians

President Biden on Monday again played into Hamas propaganda by calling on Israel only to be less intrusive, as if he couldn t demand that the terrorists stop using innocents as human shields. 

My hope and expectation is that there will be less intrusive action relative to hospitals and we remain in contact with the Israelis, he postured, later reiterating his call for a pause to deal with the release of prisoners and: Hospitals must be protected.

His phrasing amounts to a passive-aggressive dig at Israel, suggesting it s being careless around the Al Shifa hospital complex, when it is striving to minimize civilian casualties even as Hamas seeks to maximize them.

Again: Setting up military command centers in and around a hospital is a war crime, as is shooting down civilians trying to flee the war zone.
