as Israel "accidentally" bombed the UN school. Someone higher up decided they wanted to send a clear message to an organization that helps all sides equally. Internal investigations are not enough. This is a case for an international court.

It's clear it wasn't an accident. I just don't think it was a message for MSF. They just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong patients. War crime still the same as hospitals and ambulances are protected.

Now just imagine if the Russians had done this - or ISIS

(39,215 posts)some group of people none of us know. Wrong - I personally know two doctors from our own area who when they are on vacation they are working with DWB.
This is a war crime and for once in this long ME war let's treat like one.

(39,215 posts)Everyone thinks they are from some other country - area - part of the world.
Few think it is their own doctor from their own clinic. But it often is.
