22. Another false presumption

" The protected persons here are the WHO staff and families, and the treatment is the bombing and arresting. The agents are the IDF."

The bolded part is patently false. I dare not speculate on the kind of duplicitous contortions that might bring about such nonsensical statement.

The part of Article 29 you conveniently leave out of your consideration is: "The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them" How can the WHO staff and families possibly be in the hands of IDF, when they are located in an area occupied by Hamas? It is self-evident that the WHO members are in the hands of Hamas, the party to the conflict whose agents are responsible for the treatment accorded to them, which is utter disregard.

Just as it is self-evident that you are in no position to lecture me on logic.
