Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza and then returned to kill medics and aid workers in a military tactic known as a “double tap.” At least 20 people were killed including medics and at least five journalists. A double tap means you strike a target and then circle back to hit again, this time killing the rescue workers and medics who rush in. The tactic has been used by the CIA under Barack Obama as well as al Qaeda in Iraq. Israel issued the usual mea culpas. We didn’t mean it. Hamas is there. We still want our hostages. We will investigate and let you know. Hamas offered to return all hostages again just last week. This isn’t about the hostages. Israeli media reports that this was not a mistake but in fact was “authorized and coordinated with senior command, and they were aware of it before it was carried out.” Footage from the scene is deeply upsetting, but it shows clearly what happened. President Trump said he is “not happy about it” but history shows that international condemnations, UN resolutions, ICJ rulings, ICC investigations, press outrage — none of it stops Israel’s military campaigns. They weather it, stall inquiries, and keep striking. Only the President of the United States could make it stop by cutting off aid to Israel. Why won’t he?
