MSF on Saturday suspended all its noncritical medical operations at Nasser Hospital, citing security breaches that posed “serious” threats to its teams and patients. The Geneva, Switzerland-based charity said there had been an increase in patients and staff seeing armed men in parts of the compound since a United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached in October last year.

But the hospital said the MSF issued statements that “misrepresent facts and mirror narratives historically used to justify attacks” on hospitals, “despite full transparency and repeated clarification”.

“Such statements are not neutral. They foreseeably endanger Nasser Hospital Complex, serving over one million civilians, by undermining its protected status under international humanitarian law. MSF is aiding in manufacturing consent for attacks against the hospital,” it said.

I remember a time, when organization responded to such allegations with something like:

"We take the allegations very seriously, are conducting an investigation and will respond in accordance with out policies and laws.

These days everyone just goes directly on the attack and blames everyone.

This is exactly what Israel does when people are critical of them. They shout and call them anti-Semitic.

Its almost impossible to have allies with that attitude.
