Does Israel Have Its Own Special Set of Ethics and Should the Rest of the World Be Ok With It?
Question by : Does Israel have its own special set of ethics and should the rest of the world be ok with it?
A report came out today in Israel from Physicians for Human Rights that says ‘The Military repeatedly violated Medical Ethic Codes during its Gaza Offensive’ and gives specific examples of the prevention of medical assistance from the trapped and the wounded, severe difficulties for emergency medical evacuation, attacks on medical personnel and medical facilities, and de facto prevention of the chronically ill and gravely wounded from receiving medical care outside Gaza.
It also reports 16 medical personnel killed and 25 wounded from the Israeli army’s fire, all of them while performing their medical duties. Furthermore, 34 medical facilities were hit by the army, 8 hospitals and 26 primary care clinics – “this in severe violation of directives of international law that forbid attacks on medical personnel and medical facilities in times of fighting.”

Does Israel have its own special set of ethics and if the rest of the world questions this should they all be called anti-semitic?
@ha- care to remotely address the issues in the report? or are you still at the ad hominem stage of development?
@dandyl- good, now you have only 40 more excuses to come up with for killed and wounded medical personnel and only 34 justifications for firing on hospitals and clinics. This is Physicians for Human Rights (Israeli Jews and Arabs) reporting this – your one anecdote doesn’t cover all these cases. I am AMAZED at the mental gymnastics you people go through to contradict the facts.
@?(notice it’s not the menorrah?)- the link you supplied doesn’t mention the PHR-I report, so I find it un-useful.
@mir- the IDF has phenomenal intelligence in Gaza, the envy of the world….. 8 hospitals and 26 primary care clinics shelled…. are you familiar with logic? what’s the likely conclusion?
@Lupines- at least you address the PHR-I report even if you dismiss it.
“8 years and 8 thousand rockets”? You realize that with every month that passes, this number is expanded? It’s actually comical- now it’s eight thousand rockets and 8 years before longsuffering Israel grudgingly responds. How long until its 60,000 in 60 years?
How many Israelis killed by those rockets? How many Palestinian men, women and children killed in the 22-day “ethical” reprisal?
Facts are a b*tch.
@LG Palesine Exist- nice rant (not really). Care to address the PHR-I report even remotely?
@Arieh, from your lips to G-d’s ear.
Notice how not a SINGLE person that I challenge comes back and makes a comment? Not one. I call them ‘hit and run’ posters – they just love to hear their own voice but have no interest in learning or in defending their position.

Answer by ha
you’ve already admitted to me that you apply a double standard to israel. so YOU’RE the one giving it a special set of ethics. you admit you don’t care when arabs commit terrorism, but you’re happy to condemn israel for things that you give other people a free pass for.
so that’s pretty lame to apply a double standard and then whine about a double standard.
