In reply to the discussion: Israel hospitals instructed not to treat captured Hamas who have piled up in the public hospital sy [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)What he actually says is that treatment of wounded prisoners (a Hamas man in an Israeli hospital may be presumed in custody) is the responsibility of the army and police. In following the link, just below the main story is a note that a wounded Hamas fighter was not treated in the hospital emergency room, but sent on to a prison service clinic. It doesn't have quite the same ring, however much some enjoy imagining great piles of wounded Hamas types groaning on the pavement outside a hospital, bleeding their lives away while heartless Israelis point and laugh walking by. I would be curious, myself, just how many wounded Hamas types fetch up in an Israeli civilian hospital nowadays in any case. I doubt many who were wounded on Israeli territory made it to a hospital.
