Al-Shifa Hospital and the Crisis of the West

(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - The West's activist class is raging against Israel over its incursions into al-Shifa Hospital. They're saying Israel should back off and let the people who are already in the hospital - Hamas - do their thing. It's a pro-terror stance masquerading as peace activism. Much of the media has given an entirely skewed view of the al-Shifa battle. They've virtually invisibilized Hamas, giving the impression that Israel laid waste to a hospital for fun. Alex Crawford of Sky News tweeted about "the utter destruction" of al-Shifa following a "two-week-long Israeli bombardment." That's it? No mention of the army of anti-Semites that was the object of this Israeli "bombardment"? No reference to the other party in what eye-witnesses describe as "fierce fighting"? If you only get your news from X, you could be forgiven for thinking Israel "destroyed" this hospital because it is that evil. CNN put up a video of the destruction and invited us to take a look at "what's left of the al-Shifa complex after the Israeli siege." After terrorists turned a medical facility into a frontline in a war, you mean? The whitewashing of Hamas' involvement in the al-Shifa battle is a crime against truth.
