How many aid groups knew Hamas was hiding in a hospital and lied about it?
2023-11-21
[NYP] Hamas used Gaza City’s Shifa hospital as a base of terror operations. That’s the obvious conclusion following Sunday’s discovery of a large terror tunnel under the hospital along with videos of Hamas bringing Israeli hostages inside.

Now comes an important question for Congress: Which US-funded international organizations knew the truth about Shifa and helped Hamas conceal its war crimes?

The Israel Defense Forces this weekend discovered a tunnel beneath Shifa hospital that extends 10 meters down and 55 meters across — leading to what might be a booby-trapped door. Special units that specialize in handling explosives have been summoned to break through to the next section.

Meanwhile, Israel also released security footage showing two hostages brought through Shifa by Hamas terrorists following the Oct. 7 massacre as hospital workers looked on — suggesting a widespread conspiracy to conceal both the presence of hostages at Shifa and Hamas’ terror infrastructure within the compound.

#5  Is it really a lie if you know but just don't say anything?

#4  Everyone knew about the tunnels. The logical 'intelligence gap' would have been, 'where do the tunnels lead and to what purpose do they serve?'

I cannot accept the fact that no one asked the obvious questions, and that no discovery effort was undertaken.
