By the same standard that is used for evaluating the situation in Gaza, namely the equation of civil administrations with an affiliated military whose reputation is marred by attacks against civilians for allegedly political purposes (the definition of terrorism), all public hospitals in Israel are operated by a terrorist organization.

But of course, that's because it's a very stupid standard.

That's not the standard that's used in Gaza. Hamas is Hamas and targeted. Civilians are not targeted but rather protected hence warnings and, now that Israel is further into Gaza, armed evacuation to the south.
