Following the link in the story, ended up here,
www.bbc.com Hassan Aslih, who was being treated for injuries from a previous Israeli strike, was targeted in what witnesses described as a drone attack on the hospital's surgical wing. A doctor there confirmed that Aslih had been at the hospital for nearly a month after surviving an air strike on the same facility in April. The Israeli military had previously accused him of involvement in the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.
So the rules of this war say it's okay to kill someone recuperating in a hospital because he participated in the Oct 7 attacks.
By those rules, if you consider the creation of Israel and the Nakba an act of terror at least on par with Oct 7, it's okay to attack the perpetrators as they lay safe in their homes, as happened on Oct 7.

Also worth noting his level of involvement in the attacks is either being soft-pedaled by the BBC, or isn't specified by IDF. Either way, whatever his involvement was, it was enough to get him on the Kill List.

san.com Israeli Defense Forces allegedly recovers documents On Sunday, May 18, the IDF said the documents were found at the Gaza Strip which shows Aslih was a member of the Military Wing of Hamas Movement equipped with a military identification number. The copies are from August 2019 and list the name, "Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohamed Aslih."
The post reads, "On October 7, he infiltrated Israeli territory alongside armed terrorists, filming scenes of murder, arson, and looting. His footage wasn't news coverage but it was part of the attack itself, intended to glorify terror." x.com

So his actual offense was having a number assigned to him by Hamas as part of their media team training division. There's a note on the second document which says the training division he is part of has been cancelled, but I guess that doesn't matter.

1948 was in the 20th century. Stealing brown peoples' land to build a theocracy, in the 20th century, was a bad idea in light of the wars and atrocities the world had just seen. Ancient backwards solution to a modern problem. Secularism should have been the way forward. Instead we're to correct for atrocities with more atrocities, like our barbaric ancestors

Israel seems to be much closer to that ideal than any of the alternatives the Arab world has put forward, except maybe for Saddam Hussein's Iraq (pre- Gulf war).
And Israel allows the 25% of their population that is Muslim to live in freedom as full citizens with far more rights than would be afforded them elsewhere in the Arab world. And certainly more rights than would be afforded to non-Muslims in pretty much the entire Arab world.
If you think the people who dance in the streets when Palestinian ISIS hunts down and murders and rapes civilian men, women, and children in cold blood is heading towards secularlism or tolerance for others, I dunno what to say to that.

"And Israel allows the 25% of their population that is Muslim to live in freedom as full citizens"
The most serious discriminations were established early and relate to land control and citizenship. First, the state took over and controlled approximately 93 percent of all lands within the 1949 cease fire lines, and the state has subsequently used this land preferentially for its Jewish majority by making land available to Jews for development, and denying building permits and the ability to develop land to Palestinians. Second, the state established discriminatory preferences about who could immigrate, return to, or stay -- in short belong -- in the land as a citizen. mondoweiss.net

"As if they didn't steal it from someone else."
So it's okay to steal something that has been previously stolen.
Interesting idea. That means it's okay for Hamas to take all of Israel. Just like the Israelis stole it in 1948.
"A people who have never had a nation in the history of the world."
You mean the Palestinians or the Jews?
The Jews had a nation under King David, somewhat to the north of where current day Israel is located.
So you must mean the Palestinians.

That's a fair question. Red Cross says:
Medical establishments and units enjoy protection because of their function of providing care for the wounded and sick. When they are used to interfere directly or indirectly in military operations, and thereby cause harm to the enemy, the rationale for their specific protection is removed. This would be the case for example if a hospital is used as a base from which to launch an attack; as an observation post to transmit information of military value; as a weapons depot; as a center for liaison with fighting troops; or as a shelter for able-bodied combatants. www.icrc.org

"Allows" F self determination Then they should give up their Israeli citizenship. No one is making them keep it.
But the other Palestinians within their control are what? Non beings? There is no "Palestine " so what country are these people citizens of? Beats me. Whatever nation they want to join up with that will take them. Keep in mind that they're all "refugees" three generations down the line. If it doesn't end for them, why should it end for the Jews the Muslims expelled before stealing their land?
Reminder that Palestinians live and die and at the beneficence of the Israelis #29 | Posted by truthhurts 25% of the Israeli population is Muslim and seem to have far more rights than that. But see above about surrendering their Israeli citizenship if they prefer some alternative.

It's called The Whitewash.
Because the honest arguments for Zionism demonstrate unequivocally that Zionism is an ethno-colonialist land grab.
Zionism has been described by several scholars as a form of settler colonialism in relation to the region of Palestine and the Israeli"Palestinian conflict. This paradigm has been applied to Zionism by various scholars and figures, including Patrick Wolfe, Edward Said, Ilan Pappe and Noam Chomsky. Zionism's founders and early leaders were aware and unapologetic about their status as colonizers. Many early leading Zionists such as Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, and Ze'ev Jabotinsky described Zionism as colonization. en.m.wikipedia.org

A couple of things... these children of Abraham on both sides have lived there for thousands of years, starting with Hebrews 3k years ago and then 'Palestinians' 1k years later.
And for about the last 1k years, no one in the area was interested in the land or the Palestinians, who apparently make terrible neighbors to both religions alike.
Only after the Holocaust and the Jewish return to Jerusalem.... and the work they did to improve the land, did any of their neighbors become interested in the land and in helping the Palestinians, whom they mostly despised.
No good guys in this story, really, as Hamas and the Settlers basically rule each other out of that category, and their neighbors are no prizes, either.
This entire mess is the reward the West got for defeating Hitler in WWII, beginning in N. Africa after which the Nazis were in retreat the rest of the war, and it may be the death of us yet.

"the work they did to improve the land" was bulldozing entire Palestinian villages and erasing them from the map, and exiling the residents.
This is why Iran always threatens to erase Israel from the map. It's a reference to Israel erasing Palestine from the map. It's a reminder what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Israel was seized by force, taken without consent of the governed-then-exiled. It could happen again and Zionists can't really say they object to it ideologically, other than it's not them doing the conquering.

Not exactly...
The Haavara Agreement made it possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939.
Yet in the same breath Nazi's said to Mufti of JTown, Germany understood the "struggle against a Jewish homeland in Palestine".
One needs to recall the size of the The British Mandate, of course Germany wanted to undermine the British, so it secretly funded and "educated" the Islamic Arabs to rise up, and hate the Zionist, cause trouble. This is not much different than a proxy war. Cause some hell for your enemy.
Americans and Europeans act like WWII was a European thing, it wasn't it unleashed hell all around the globe. Palestinians, as you call them were taught to hate the Jews, the way Germans were.

This isnt true.
Jewish people are industrious, Palestinians aren't its cultural. You thinking this is a racist statement assumes all cultures are the same.
The valley of the Dan was a wasteland desert until the Jewish people arrived. Look up the Jewish National Fund, which invested land reclamation and agricultural development, transforming previously uncultivated or swampy areas around Lake Kinneret into productive farmland.
Palestinians, if you want to call them that, were a nomadic people, in fact some of those nomadic people still exist today.

More absurdity. The Palestinians as, I put in quotes, fought Israel for a thousand years, then no on cared for another thousand.
They didn't need much teaching. Most of the fighting has been projected by Russian/Iranian funded private mercenary militias for decades now.

Israel has announced several ceasefires, only to use them as opportunities to murder thousands of Palestinians who drop their guard.
Also. "Ceasefire" would be in name only. They'll continue killing, imprisoning and terrorizing the Palestinians until they retaliate, again. Then they'll play the victim, again. Using the opportunity to kill thousands upon thousands of innocent Palestinians, again.
Same as it ever was.

Palestine was never on the map. There has never been a Republic of Palestine, or an Emirate of Palestine, a Kingdom of Palestine...whatever. And that's not likely to change until the Palestinians take a greater interest in creating their own state than destorying the Jewish one.
