If there is a poster in the hospital calling for socialism in a socialist country like Cuba, should they not operate there?

The Geneva convention specifies what sort of things are valid military targets. Posters aren't military equipment, ammunition is. Hamas can put as many fliers, books and posters as they want in hospitals and it's not a problem. It's the Ammo depots that make it a military target.

Because they kept firing rockets. 2008

During the initial week of the ceasefire, Islamic Jihad militants fired rockets on Israel. Under pressure from Hamas, Islamic Jihad had agreed to abide by the temporary truce, which was meant to apply only to Gaza, but had balked at the idea of not responding to Israeli military actions in the West Bank. The New York Times reported that the Islamic Jihad action broke the Hamas-Israeli Gaza truce.[3] During the next 5 months of the ceasefire, Gazan attacks decreased significantly for a total of 19 rocket and 18 mortar shell launchings,[3][4] compared to 1199 rockets and 1072 mortar shells in 2008 up to 19 June, a reduction of 98%.[5]

Pretty sure. A similar thing happened in 2013 too.

I'm always down to rewatch diehard. But what version of it spans two decades again? Is that the director's cut?

Once again, the hospitals in Gaza are not military depots.

This war has definitively proven this to be a false statement. Please re-evaluate your position based on updated data.

Abandoning a whole nation of people as there are terrorists among them is an easy way to abandon all apolitical medical help. They could not operate anywhere.

Emphasis mine. This is objectively untrue. There are many impoverished places on the planet that will not use a hospital as a weapons depot. In fact, the majority of impoverished places that need doctors without borders are willing to do this.

Also the "experiment" in Gaza failed because Israel has blockaded Gaza

The world's largest ever suicide bombing campaign started that blockade. And two decades of indiscriminate rocket fire kept it going.

The Iron Dome isn't magic. It can only intercept so many projectiles. No blockade and Gaza is recoccuoied in 2008.

Certainly Israel could have been more optimal in its handling of the Palestinian psuedo-states since 1967. And there are plenty of instances of actual evil activity by Israel and her citizens (see Settler violence in the West Bank as a perfect example of that). However the idea that Israel is committing a genocide is just hyperbole and it cheapens and discredits those who make that claim.

You definitely didn't say that.

When counting deaths in Gaza they don't exclude those killed by the 20% of Hamas/PIJ/etc... rockets that land withing Gaza.

Well we're Americans we didn't march, we rolled in on a wagon.

I think you mean PLA.

And the PLA has rejected all 2 state solution offers, pays out a fund to the families of killed terrorists (including Hamas' and is just as corrupt if not more corrupt than Hamas. Endorsed the 10/7 attacks. They're not a potential partner for peace and have proven it over the last 40 years or so.

Apple reportedly built a version of iMessages for Android a long time ago. Then they realized how many phones their bubble scheme sold and reversed course.

Well since 2004/2005 there have been zero Palestinian homes or land stolen by Israeli's in Gaza. And as a result 100k+ rockets, the world's largest suicide bombing campaign and endless militant attacks have come out of the territory. So from am Israeli perspective, if those things stop; even if it means that a few Palestinians get kicked out of their homes, it's a win.
