Israel Attacks Hospital in Doctor Disguise | War Crime Explained.

did Israel just commit a war crime no

we're not talking about the death of

over 26,000 individuals in Palestine

specifically today we're talking about

the fact that three Israelis dressed in

disguises Precision struck and killed

three Palestinians inside of a hospital

in the West Bank 10 minutes after their

arrival they were gone in this video

we'll go through the actual CCTV footage

and look at what some International law

says specifically about wearing

disguises for attacking your enemies

here's the footage of the attack and

then let's review what international law

suggests here we can see a group of four

individuals walking ahead one looking

like they're wearing a nurse's outfit

one woman here carrying what looks like

a uh baby carriage or some form of uh

baby car seat here's an individual with

a stroller multiple individuals carrying

bags here uh these bags will become very

important in just a moment there's also

a second group that walks in right after

we'll see them coming into screen in

just a moment uh from the entrance

that's marked over here at the bottom

left here they are also what looks or

appears to be a um nurse's outfit with

some form of headscarf again another

baby carriage car seat here so we've got

a group of about eight individuals uh

that walk in into this CCT footage here

we can already see rifle out some

movement here at this wheelchairs bag

that bag drops another rifle comes out

and a third rifle comes out here as

they're outside of a hospital room they

Rush the hospital room with a stackup

formation there you can actually see

that rough stackup formation as we've

got one to the left side of the door uh

facing out the others prepare and here

we go one in and two all of them

immediately follow you've got the next

group here these are the next four looks

like they uh also follow in with

covering uh or coverage provided uh from

the outside watching potentially down

this hallway here and uh the hallway

they came from clearly the wheelchair a

ruse to uh essentially uh carry in

baggage rifles weapons apparently these

individuals ended up striking three

Palestinians killing them and uh then

leaving the hospital again this Hospital

in the West Bank this now on social

media being considered a war crime and

so we're going to have to evaluate our

uh thoughts on whether we think this is

a war crime worth noting that uh the

individuals that were apparently

executed here were supposedly these

three

individuals uh this individual was seen

as uh a uh partially paralyzed

individual receiving care in the

hospital uh some are remarking that this

was a boy that Israel killed in a

hospital obviously there are uh two very

distinct images the image that we just

had of him holding a rifle and then this

image of what looks like maybe an

18-year-old or younger in the 20s here

receiving some kind of care uh as the

individual is trying to move his legs

otherwise this apparently or allegedly

being one of the individuals that was

killed uh there is another angle of this

attack that's slightly worth looking at

as well because it gives us a better

look at some of the Garb that uh the

individuals are wearing as they move

through the hospital and gives you a

very clear look here at one of them

carrying a wheelchair this almost looks

like at this point they are extracting

from the hospital that they've completed

their mission and now they're they

leaving guns clearly drawn here uh as uh

and and they're moving pretty quickly

here's what appears to be the uh the

woman uh the other person here is

carrying their wheelchair obious it's

folded up here in this

image uh and uh it looks like the goal

here is oh they've got somebody uh that

they've either got cuffed or something

over here or that they're doing a quick

search or pat down in it's difficult to

tell given that how given how quickly

they're moving here it looks like

they've completed maybe their first

strike they could potentially be between

strikes or they're just on their way out

at this point uh you've got the

wheelchair person it's almost like a a

movie set here where you've got you know

C cue the wheelchair go this way no just

kidding go the other way uh as you can

see they uh they end up coming back

through the scene right here you've

still got the baby carriage on the floor

here and uh that is roughly the end of

the there we go baby car SE moving out

all guns drawn here and they extract now

the key and critical component here it's

going to not come down to the Garb or

the dress that they're wearing uh not

necess well specifically regarding

civilian clothing it's going to have to

come down to Medical clothing so let's

head to ec.com where we've got a little

bit of a breakdown of this of course

ec.com is where we post a lot of our

research totally for free I spent a lot

of time working with the team on

throwing up uh information on here

whether it's economic news Federal

Reserve news or otherwise it's free

we're working on turning it into an app

as well but here's what we've got and

this is inspired by a post from The

Economist did an Israeli Hospital raid

breach the laws of war now they don't

come to a clear conclusion in this but

here are some of the arguments there's

this international law that's called uh

uh perid and it's basically a way of

saying hey you should not deceive your

enemy and uh certain types of deception

or considered illegal so let's go

through some of those examples one you

can't dress up as a UN peacekeeper this

makes sense dressing up as a United

Nations Peacekeeper would imply uh that

you're not a hostile it would imply that

you are somebody who is there to keep

the peace not even necessarily make the

peace right it's just you're there to

make sure that crimes are not conducted

here is an example of an Israeli

peacekeeper

Force looks like we're on battery backup

right now while we're filming this

wonder what's going on in California

again Gavin Nome is not paying the bills

again gosh okay well we'll keep filming

here good little test of the battery

system though everything's functioning

uh anyway so uh that's a un peping Force

you also you cannot dress up a command

center as a mosque for example or a

church as another example uh you also

can't pretend to be a medical transport

plane but you can pretend to be be a

friendly plane now that's actually an

interesting one because it's a way of

saying that if you are let's say you're

a jet you're an F16 and you're going to

fight I don't know Yemen okay uh you can

set up your transponders to pretend that

you are a yemenese fighter jet when the

reality is you're an American fighter

jet that is legal but you can't pretend

to be a a medical transport plane now

that becomes important for this

discussion on

Israel another thing you cannot pretend

to be wounded to lure your enemies so if

you pretend you're wounded or whatever

and then you turn around and shoot your

enemy that would be deemed illegal you

can't use ambulances to move Fighters

this is something that Israel has

alleged that Hamas is doing uh you also

uh if you carry weapons weapons should

be unconcealed so you should not carry

concealed weapons because that could

lead to to a confusion as to whether or

not you're a civilian or otherwise now

when it comes to disguise disguises per

international law are not illegal now

we'll get more into disguises but I want

to just also quickly note that something

that is illegal on the flip side is if

you hold up a white flag and then you

pull out a gun that would also be

illegal now let's get back into the

disguises part because let's be clear

disguises themselves are not illegal but

what we have here goes beyond that in

fact a lot of folks argue that if these

individuals who raided the Israel uh

this Hospital in in the West Bank uh

came in with military Garb and guns

drawn there would have potentially or

likely been a shootout and maybe a lot

more deaths and casualties which

includes injuries of course however

dressing as a doctor is considered

illegal just like using an ambulance to

transport Fighters is illegal dressing

as a doctor or a nurse is considered

illegal and assuming or implying that

you are a military plane that's a

medical use plane when the reality is

you're there to conduct a strike is also

illegal now Israel argues that because

this raid took place in the West Bank

this was not actually a war zone and

therefore exempt from this law now

others say there's no way this was

exempt it all falls under the same

umbrella of the incursion against Hamas

in the Gaza Strip even though this took

place in the West Bank it was still a

targeted attack against Hamas and

therefore while using disguise to dress

up as civilians to attack is not illegal

the fact that we saw at least one

doctor's coat and one nurse outfit does

does potentially make it illegal against

subject to the defense that the strike

in the West Bank would not apply now

everybody's going to have their own

opinion on this my opinion is it is

likely illegal given that it's very

clear we don't dress up as doctors or

nurses to conduct strikes so in other

words this right here probably illegal

this this this the use of a wheelchair

the use of uh a a baby car seat all of

those fair game so interesting analysis

from The Economist if you take issues

with the economist that's fair but

that's my POV let me know in the

comments what you think now I'd also

like to give you a quick little heads up

on what else The Economist says about

Biden versus Trump kind of interesting

they've got a cool piece on this so

quickly 60% of folks disapprove of

Biden's handling of the economy Trump

fares way better I think this is very

interesting because the economist does

not like Donald Trump at all but the

economy is improving fast inflation is

falling all the prices are still high

growth is strong stock market is at

all-time high there are three things to

consider at least according to the

economist two hurt Biden one helps Biden

one impressions of the economy matter

more than the actual economy so if

people are pissed about inflation

whether or not inflation is falling

doesn't matter that probably hurts Biden

people hate inflation that hurts Biden

but voters have a short memory which

could help Biden according to what the

economist believes if we get to the

election cycle well when we get to the

election cycle now what do I believe I

actually agree with the economist here

that much like what Kathy Wood told me

at brunch the other day if the economy

deteriorates come election time you'll

likely sway voters towards Trump with a

deterior rating economy because maybe

rates were kept too high too long too

much suffering boils over you get Trump

the economy booms you don't get a

jobless surge people start going oh

things are getting better and they're

not that bad you could potentially move

mid voters remember the middle always

decides elections towards Biden and so

this is kind of the interesting economic

pendulum uh that will be facing now

we'll see but this is my take combined

with some of the evidence that we're

seeing in the economy and the take of

The Economist on both Israel and this

let me know what you think about this my

goal is just to provide neutral as as

much as possible politically neutral

news and takes I want to hear what you

think and I want to be exceptionally

clear my heart seriously goes out to all

the innocent lives that are being lost

in Wars around the world I have a lot of

children myself at least four got a few

more on the way stay tuned uh but

um I I could not even imagine the loss

of life of a child it's it's it's

terrible and it's devastating and and it

it should break everyone's heart anyway

thank you so much for watching and we'll

see you in the next one goodbye can not

advertise these things that you told us

here I feel like nobody else knows about

this we'll we'll try a little

advertising and see our go
