President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.
Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”
Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.
US have always been Israel’s ambassador. Nothing new here.
Is Islamic Jihad distinct from Hamas?
Yes, you can usually find it abbreviated as PIJ and supposedly has ties to Iran
It is a different group. How much they align with each other and/or cooperate, I do not know.
Hamas is the closest thing to a real government that Palestine has. Hamas has stated a willingness to accept a 2 state solution, they used to want all the land back but now they just want peace. Some countries like NZ take the time to differentiate between Hamas (not terrorists, political arm) and Qassam Brigades (the terrorist military arm of Hamas).
As far as I have read PIJ is just terrorist who wanna kill all Israelis.
… differentiate between Hamas (not terrorists, political arm) and Qassam Brigades (the terrorist military arm of Hamas).
So kind of like Sinn Féin vs the IRA, this makes sense.
And here we go with the latest attempt at propaganda to make Hamas look like the victims. Yeah, what you said is full of lies. Especially the part about Hamas wanting any kind of solution where Israel exists.
If they (Hamas) really wants two state solutions he would not have blown up Israel indiscriminately.
Remember when we almost had peace but then a Kahanist assassinated Rabin?
Sounds like a very distant fairy tale.
So how is it even related with the issue at hand again? Another make up link of two unrelated incidents?
Man I can’t wait 60 years for the DoD or CIA to declassify these documents that show otherwise.
Seriously you should check out some of the stuff the CIA has declassified. Some insane involvement and coverups of so many incidents, wars, overthrows, uprisiings, etc.
I even learned Chuck Yeager had his personal beechcraft bombed by the IAF, and he was so pissed that he listed it as a PAF loss in his 1971 war report lol. He also confirmed PAF’s 3:1 k/d, and interviewed all the captured IAF pilots.
All back when Nixon was running the show, so who knows what other stuff went down.

Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets towards Israel. (Pretty much all of them seem to have been blown out of the sky by the “iron dome” defense system.)
If Israel was going to blow up a hospital, they would have done a better job. It’s pretty much the same blowback for partially and completely destroying one.
https://www.newsweek.com/mysterious-case-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-262086
Well heres one hospital strike in 2014 that the consensus is they are responsible for, and again it was a strike that hit off to the side and they claimed someone else did. So in the case where this would have been Isreals fault, it would look very similar to another hospital strike they did do.
They even used the same excuse blaming Gaza terror organizations, not Hamas directly.

I mean, it doesn’t appear to be out of the range of their other ordinance. Cars burnt out but Clay tiled awning still uncracked, road appears drivable. Unless you’re still working with the outdated information that this was an airstrike that killed ~500
The problem I have with this narrative isn’t who dropped the bomb. Tbh they’re probably right it was a Palestinian missile. It’s the sheer audacity for all these western countries to be shocked and say let’s figure this out, as Israel just dropped like 6000 bombs in 6 days. They’re worried about one bomb but not the 6000 others, cause ya know, those were killing only Hamas and not injured people in a hospital /s.
While the Muslim world looks on in horror at more bombing in a conflict that has been going on for decades, the western world is focused on insignificant details. Who carried out what attack. Who dropped what bomb. Which act is more morally reprehensible. None of this solves the problem of a displaced people. Only the US can pressure Israel to accept a two state solution. That’s the only peaceful solution possible for this conflict imo. The other solution is to wipe out Gaza and the West Bank and everyday we’re getting closer to that.

It’s almost like they went through two attempts to end their people in a twenty-ish year period of time.
A two-state-solution doesn’t work in part because extremist Muslim groups want the are to be purely Muslim. They would continue to attack Israel with terror tactics, Like they did from the start. What is your solution to that?
There isn’t a solution and just to be clear proto Israelis take part in a civilian bombing campaign inside of mandatory Palestine because they also do not believe any other religion should exist.
If you’re going to paint a picture don’t just throw shade at one when both deserve it.
How do you explain 20 % of Israel citizens being Palestinian, when Israel supposedly want Palestinians to not exist?
Concessions for image, apparently it’s fairly effective given your response.
Swap Muslim with Jewish and Israel with Palestine and it’s the same problem… to be clear I think both are true but it’s kinda weird to single one out.
I single them out because the extremist Muslim groups on Palestinian side have openly admitted, repeatedly, that the goal ist to exterminate all Jews from the area and make it a pure Muslim country.
If you have some sources that show the same was said from Israeli side about Palestine, please show me. Because what I see in this conflict is not as simple as people like to make it out to be. It’s not just evil colonizers trying to snag land from a victim country that wants a two-state-solution.

Did you read those articles? The first two don’t address or hint at genocidal plans from Israel against the ethnic group “Palestinian” at all. The third article is about one (!) extremist politician who’s party didn’t even get into the parliament because they didn’t have enough votes. That actually goes against your notion that Israels goal is a genocide against Palestinians.
This is not about disputing war crimes from Israel. It’s specifically about the question whether or not Israel wants an ethnical cleansing on Palestinians. And that this is the reason for the actions from their side.
deleted by creator
Yeah, the people of Palestine haven’t exactly been pushing for a two state solution and they back/vote in groups that want to exterminate the jews and enforce Sharia law wherever they can.
Even if Israel wanted a two state solution they’re not going to get it. Not until Palestinians can come up with a functional government that isn’t made up of a group that has genocide as one of their stated political goals.
And I mean actual genocide, the attempt to end a genetic lineage through violence, not the “genocide” of lemmy which essentially just means “cultural disruption/assimilation”, a widening of definition that allows them to pretend that it’s equal on both sides cause “they’re both committing genocide!”
It’s kind of funny to me listening to people who advocate for separate states. I mean, sure, do it. But don’t expect that to stop religious zealots from firing peace rockets at each other.
It won’t stop anything, a two state solution is a joke.
The best case scenario now is for Palestinians to assimilate into other Muslim countries, it’s not ideal but it’s probably the way fewest people will die.
Sorry man, it’s not a “Lemmy” definition, that’s literally a type of genocide as defined by the UN.
If the word you choose to describe forced cultural assimilation and mass slaughter for the intended purpose of annihilating an entire group of people based on their race are the same, your definition is useless.
That’s like calling a playground fight between kids attempted murder, it makes the word worthless when you water it down to mean any violence at all.
Yes, the definition is vague: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml
genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
- Killing members of the group;
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
It hinges on “intent”, which needs to be inferred and interpreted. It includes terms like “in whole or in part”, and does not specify how many “members of the group” are the lower limit.
However, the main point of R0cket_M00se still stands. There is a significant width in the spectrum of acts and intents which can be classified as genocide, with Hamas proudly on the upper end.
Part of the problem is that Hamas won’t accept a two state solution, either. The people in power on both sides have made it clear that they want the other eradicated. If Hamas and the Israeli government were to disappear then maybe that could happen, but even then there is so much deep rooted hatred amongst those populations for them to realistically live in relative peace while being in such close proximity to each other.
I don’t honestly know of a great solution besides Israel replacing their government, and the ultra nationalistic conservative half of the Gaza strip moving out, or vice versa.
The reason for the focus is that it was deliberately being used in a disinformation campaign. Were that not the case, I think you’re right that it would have faded into the background noise as just one bomb among 6000 others.
Or, you know, a solution that isn’t imposed by western colonialists, maybe? But by the sovereign people that inhabit the region?

Otherwise, I agree with everything you said.
what makes you think anything would change if nobody did anything? of course there needs to be an external pressure to change something about the situation. otherwise israel will just keep on decimating palestine population and it will end with a singular state. is that what you want?
I added an Al Jazeera video argument of a single state. It is not a defense of the zionist fundamentalist terrorists state.
It’s a defense of a multi ethnic state, run by the people for the people.
If nobody did anything maybe in 50 years the social indexes may improve by collective work of the people that live there, and know the right priorities, like Vietnam is recovering after the US simply stopped bombing the shit out of that land.
It really doesn’t matter what you call them or how you feel about it, Israel is in the position to call the shots and the US is their most influential ally on this. Israel isn’t going to magically go the peaceful route without external pressure, and you have to be fucking joking to think they care what Palestinians care.

I don’t know, most of the papers in the UK led with a front page item on how Israel had killed 500 people by bombing a hospital. So if that wasn’t actually true, it’s quite important.
I doubt that Rishi Sunak speak correctly.
This is the most global headline nơw.
If you have a little deep heart inside, you can think twice. See what difference between two sides. Who is support Israel, the world’s most powerful militaries that every country don’t want take risk to war with. Then, who is support Palestine. There is many country but still behind.
The latest statistics on the Israel-Palestine conflict as of October 19, 2023, are as follows:
Gaza: Killed: At least 3,478 Injured: Over 12,065 Occupied West Bank: Killed: At least 69 Injured: More than 1,300 Israel: Killed: At least 1,403 Injured: At least 3,800
These figures have been reported by the Palestinian health ministry, Palestine Red Crescent Society, and Israeli Medical Services. Please note that these numbers are subject to change as the situation evolves.
And what the trembling moments 1 child killed in Gaza every hour. Precisely more than that. 😥
When 12 of The Council drafted a statement calling for a ceasefire on Wednesday, but the statement was vetoed by the US. WHAT THE F***
Millions of lives hang in the balance, including the 2.3 million civilians half of whom are children in Gaza civilians in Israel, and Jews and Muslims around the world.
I can write more but let just world knows who is the really war criminal.
You don’t have to be Muslim to support Palestine 🇵🇸 … you just have to be HUMAN … 😥
Okay well I’m not sure what most of this says, and I know better than to engage in Israel-Palestine discourse online.
You also can support Palestinian people and genuinely want their liberation, but have zero love for Hamas or IJ.
what can third parties do to reduce or eliminate Hamas’s hold on Palestine?
I’m all for Palestinian rights, and the constant encroachment of fundamentalist settlements is a war crime that went unpunished for Israel - but Hamas’s charter is explicit, there’s no middle ground or two state solution, just the destruction of Israel.
So how can third parties help the Palestinians in the one way that would make a significant difference in their QOL and interactions with Israel?
Honest question.
You’re not going to get any magical solution because Israel is a country founded on stolen land by entitled religious extremists. People always leave that part out when they talk about this situation.
You’re not going to get any magical solution
and yet they all believe in their invisible friends and holy books so much… ironic that.
Israel is a country founded on stolen land by entitled religious extremists. People always leave that part out when they talk about this situation.
funny how you’re leaving out the near extermination of their people and world recognition of their state, kinda glossing over most of history even. guess you decided to leave those parts out too. It’s almost as if both sides are completely full of shit.
Huh.
stop funding Israel?
so make Israel an easier target for the many countries that agree with Hamas and think it should be destroyed?
pfft. did you even read the question? How the fuck does that stop Hamas, if anything it would embolden them. How does that help Palestinians wanting a future without a genocidal fuckwit club running their country?
how can we help Palestine?
no not like that
you’ve yet to suggest anything practical or realistic. or even remotely helpful to anyone but hamas.
put it together dipshit, just helping hamas doesn’t improve Palestinian lives. For once in your life stop being a lazy sack and use your fucking brains.
The western world is focused on insignificant details. Who carried out what attack. Who dropped what bomb. Which act is more morally reprehensible. None of this solves the problem of a displaced people
Misinformation on the scale of “a building was destroyed that clearly is still intact” deserves focus. If they’ll lie about shit that can be confirmed with a tiny bit of research, what else is getting exaggerated?
People “fighting for their homeland” rarely just give up. And you’ve got two sides who earnestly believe they’re doing just that.
There’s no peace here. Northern Ireland managed it, but the body counts and level of violence aren’t even remotely comparable. It took Israel and Palestine about a week to blow through what The Troubles took 40 years to kill.
Each time it kicks off we in the West wonder how we could solve it. We can’t. It’s not our problem to fix. We certainly had a hand in making it but it’s an impossible tangle of blood, bodies and beliefs that nobody can undo.
The world’s media looks on but we’re mostly just rubbernecking. Few of us have any skin in the game. Takes our mind off our own shit countries I suppose.
In fairness, most of the people in Gaza have been born and raised in an era where the strip is their homeland. They’ve never experienced a settlement, they’ve been ruled by Palestinians their whole lives and the borders were the same as the 1967 ones.
Yeah it’s so fair that they get to live in an open air prison that’s been under blockade for 20 years. You make it sound like Gaza is a functioning country.
An objectively ineffective blockade based on the amount of rocket fire coming out of Gaza.
Also worth saying that the two sides in Northern Ireland, although originally sundered on the basis of sectarian religion, still shared a suite of cultural commonalities inasmuch as they were all basically from Ireland and the British Isles and had similarly bad teeth, cock-eyed inbred ugliness together with a generalized dislike of anyone perceived as an outsider, but.
There is no two sides. One foreign people wanted another people’s land, and they used some past ancestry / religious fanaticism / racism to commit atrocities in the process of stealing the land.

When former IDF soldiers and Holocaust survivors take a firm anti-Zionist stance, it’s probably because the Zionist side is shit.
Breaking the Silence is also an Israeli organization composed of IDF veterans giving testimonies such as the IDF using ambulances to conceal combatants or using human shields.
You will not achieve peace by totally dismissing one party at the table. You have not proposed any solutions or even a path to a solution.
You have only encouraged more violence by pointing fingers.

Even now, my brain won’t ever wrap its head around modern countries like Ireland and N. Ireland feeling the need for things like “peace walls” between neighbors.
Your comment sums up a lot of my feelings: a true peace can’t be forced from the outside. It’s way too complicated and emotional for simplistic shit. And you can see it in the comments around here too. Everyone’s wrapped up in intense anger, blame, and reciting the litany of past horrors as justification for new ones.
I like your take. Most actors involved in this conflict have tunnel vision and that will only lead to more violence.
Even some victims of Hamas’ violence are calling on TV for reflection instead of seeking revenge. Revenge only feeds a never-ending cycle of violence with no end in sight. Israel’s Government will have to own up to having allowed/encouraged Hamas with the single purpose of derailing two-state efforts and that has failed horribly.
While the Muslim world looks on in horror at more bombing in a conflict that has been going on for decades, the western world is focused on insignificant details. Who carried out what attack. Who dropped what bomb. Which act is more morally reprehensible.
The western world wouldn’t be hung up on “insignificant details” if all involved parties weren’t lying out their asses about everything that is happening.

I don’t consider the Pentagon to be a reliable source for information when they have a vested interest in the conflict. Remember when they said Saddam Hussain had “weapons of mass destruction” which was used to justify the Iraq invasion? Well there never were any. The Pentagon manufactured that disinformation, and media parroted it like loyal puppets.
Yeah why are people believing this? I’m sure someone will quietly peddle it back just like they did with the “40 beheaded babies” lie. This is blatant information warfare.
What vested interest does the DoD have in this conflict?
Same as any other conflict… maintain the interests of US govt. and by extension rich oligarchs who have the house and Senate in their pockets.
The US State Department has a long-standing strong alliance with the Israelis. Billions of dollars of weaponry is sold to the Israeli military yearly, with a direct profit for the US defense industry.
And the US’s official statement was that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we needed to invade. Sure…
It was also their official statement that Russia was going to invade Ukraine.
The intelligence agencies actually concluded that Iraq might have weapons of mass destruction. It was the Bush administration that spun it as a certainty and created the lie that they definitely had them.
You mean to tell me there hasn’t been President America running things for 200+ yrs straight?
Uncle Sam has been pulling the strings all this time
Yeah but this time there’s video
Since this discussion comes again and again and again, here a Crosspost from a similar thread that shows the „morning after“:
So this here is the current view on the area where supposedly about 500 people died. Also there are allegedly more than 300 wounded.
Questions I personally have:
- where is the rubble and where is the bomb crater?
- why does the building seem undamaged?
- how do you fit 800 people in this parking lot?
Most of those cars don’t even have displaced metal like an explosion, most of it is charred in a secondary fire. Plus what infrastructure does Palestine have to clear the supposed 500+ bodies? Do they have a first world crisis response group hiding somewhere?
I’d say less then a couple dozen could have possibly died given the impact crater and damage, and that’s assuming all cars were loaded with people and they got instantly trapped and burned to death which probably didn’t happen.
There’s so many points of “this seems unlikely” on the Hamas side that it’s not worth taking them seriously about it. It’s propaganda through and through. We have more than enough actual documented war crimes from Israel that this “boy who cried wolf” shit is just going to exacerbate their victimhood through discrediting the very real things that they have done wrong as being “probably also propaganda.”
This reads like: “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”…
Yeah, the CIA famously never lies about this stuff on behalf of their country’s military interests!
I mean. Fuck both. But fuck Hamas more.
I’ll drink to that.
Nah, fuck both is enough. I will never support jihadists and I will never support apartheid states.
you mean the hospital parking lot?
Yeah, I don’t think so.
You can think whatever you like, but that means you either have to ignore all the evidence indicating that you’re wrong, or you have to have additional evidence to prove you’re right. You not liking something doesn’t count as evidence.
You don’t need counter -evidence if you recognize the source as unreliable and biased, which it is.
The fact that you choose to take the US government at face value doesn’t mean anyone else has to.
Trust the US intelligence and defense capabilities bro. They never fake data or mislead the public. This is not like the time in the past when they fake information to justify foreign policies.
I don’t understand people who do that, to be honest.
They have repeatedly lied to their own citizens about health and safety. There are multiple channels dedicated to talking about the superfund sites within the US. Most of the time, the people who lived in these horribly toxic areas were lied to by the government, and were told that they were safe. It has led to a large number of injuries, deaths, and deformities. The government regularly refused to acknowledge the harm until it was way to late to stop the people from being afflicted. I would never fully trust someone who allowed children to play in lead dust, and I especially wouldn’t trust someone who told them it was safe to do so.
I know my country’s government wouldn’t be much better to trust at face value, realistically. So, I don’t.
Historically, blindly trusting a government can turn out very badly. The people in office are human, so it only makes sense that some of them may be corrupt.
Firstly, there is plenty of evidence that counters the claim. Secondly, your willingness to believe the US security state at its word is evidence in itself of how many of you people are susceptible to propaganda.
I reached independently the same conclusion before these news sites which you can verify by going thru my post history. This is not me taking their word for it. They’re just confirming my prior analysis.
If you have evidence to the contrary I’m interested in seeing it.
Could you share your insights on how you made your conclusion?
You can find the video/picture evidence in my comment history from few days ago.
There’s videos from several different angles showing a rocket salvo being fired from Gaza towards Israel where you can see the explosion at the hospital. It was most likely a malfunctioning unguided rocket from fired by Hamas. The bombs Israel is using are much bigger and guided meaning if they had targeted the hospital they would’ve also hit the hospital and there would be nothing left of it. Now all we have is few burnt cars on a parking lot where the rocket hit with no even visible crater on the ground. That damage perfectly matches the kind of damage caused by their mostly home-made rockets.
Then there’s also the initial claims about “leveled hospital building” and “500 people dead” but recent aerial images shows the hospital still very much intact. Also intentionally targeting a hospital while under immense scrutiny from international media doesn’t seems like the smartest thing to do.
Okay, I have seen some compiled sources that show that israyel is continuously changing their narrative. That’s the only evidence I have.
Well that is suspicious, I’ll admit that. However I doubt the advisor for prime minister has real time access to information about military operations so it’s most likely that his comments on it are based on news/social media sources that later turned out to be incorrect.
So far, there appears to be no conclusive evidence to determine who was behind the second blast, the one that hit al-Ahli hospital. A number of organisations have suggested that the relatively small crater left by the attack appears incompatible with weapons habitually launched by Israel.
Marc Garlasco, a military adviser at the PAX Protection of Civilians team, noted the impact point did not appear to be consistent with the 500, 1000 or 2000-pound bombs used in Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) used by Israel, according to the Bellingcat report.

I would love to see their proof that this wasn’t Israel. Israel showed footage taken 40 minutes after the attack as proof that it wasn’t them.
What proof is the pentagon going on? The pentagon is a US military entity that is heavily involved already with promoting and disseminating Israeli propaganda. I, and many others, will not believe it until we see proof.
Do you seriously want to see a video of a hospital full of women and children blow up? The fuck is wrong with you?
You listen to a doctor when they recommend you something because they are professionals dedicated to their job but hypocritically reject the same kinds of information from other sources full of dedicated professionals without issues.
The United States government is quite possibly the least trustworthy organization in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.
The Israeli state is an active apartheid state that confines Palestinians to large ghettos and legally deprives them of their human rights. They have spent the last 70 years continually committing atrocities and war crimes against Palestinian men, women, and children. Their defense minister recently referred to Palestinians as “human animals,” and they are being led by a man who has been openly genocidal towards Palestine for the last 30 years. I literally do not trust a single word that comes from the Israeli state on absolutely anything. They have lied continuously since this conflict began and are openly racist and discriminatory towards Muslims. I have no doubt in my mind that a military that routinely shoots journalists and medical staff would bomb this hospital. They have already bombed other hospitals since this conflict began.
There is a huge difference between the intricacies of biology and of where a fucking missile came from. They would provide proof if they had it. They have every single reason to want Israel’s name cleared. Even cropped video footage or whatever data they have. I will believe it when I see it.
I am unable to rebuke your comment and only can say that it is coherent and valid.
There is plenty of evidence out now.
Its also normal for hamas to try to politicaly exploit the situation. On the other hand Israel has done things like that before, so it wouldn’t be completely out of character.
The israeli, palestinian, russian, chinese and american governments are quite possibly the least trustworthy organizations in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.

Feel free to add to the list of shitholes whose propaganda nobody wants.
The Catholic Church belongs on that list
Edit: also the Protestant sects
Fuck yea they do. I’d like to add the rest of the governments of the world as well.
Hey now, leave Rojava out of this, they’re doing some really cool stuff out there
I’ve seen more people blaming muslim/palestine for this war and say they deserved it than people blaming jews instead of the zionist for causing this war. You all really like to use jew as a criticism shield don’t you.
I don’t see Jews giving out candy and celebrating on the street when Palestinians are killed. But that’s what is happening here in Germany when Hamas kill and kidnap Israelis. Some Palestinians and their supporters celebrate this.
That is because it’s not a war between Jew and Palestinian, it’s a war between Israel and Palestine, and Israeli are the one celebrating when Palestinian are killed.
Confused? Don’t be, just ask yourself why it’s always have to lump all Jewish people together when people merely criticising Israel(the government), but when talking about Palestine it’s only on to Palestinian(which it should be) .
I don’t heard about any celebrations of Jews or Israelis because of the bombings. I am sure you can post some links?
Here are Muslims and/or Palestinians and/or pro-Palestine-protestors celebrating the attack on Israel:
https://taz.de/Hamas-Unterstuetzer-in-Berlin/!5962283/
There is more, these are just the first I could find from Germany.
I’m not even talking about the celebration.
Ohh right before i forgot, and i know it’s irrelevant to the point i’m making, but here you go
Have you been on the internet in the past week? Sure politicians and newspapers are generally more towards that kind of statement but Lemmy and Twitter are basically flooded with solidarity with Palestine and yesterday I saw multiple threads about this incident with sources that claimed it was Israel which had people being all “of course they would do that” and if the article was about Israel denying involvement the most comments were not believing that.
Some people started spraying stars of David on houses where Jews live in Berlin yesterday and another person threw a Molotov at a synagogue.
There is a shitton of anti-zionist rhetoric out there which fluently merges with anti-semitism
While i acknowledge there’s extremist out there and neo nazi joining the fray, and you should acknowledge that the call to violence by Israeli government is indirectly causing the fatal stabbing of a kid and his mother, the thing is, i don’t see anything anti-semitism on the post you’re talking? All they were doing is doubting the word of Israeli Government because they lied, lied, lied, and lied, but i never see this sort of comment hurling at all Jew, it’s only the “other side” that keep bringing jew in whenever israel is being criticised.
Well i wouldn’t say “never”, but close.
The IDF has launched missiles at hospitals and schools in the past, and then claimed that they were “Hamas strongholds”.
They have no credibility. A fact that Hamas is actively exploiting. Not that Hamas has any credibility, either.
A fact that Hamas is actively exploiting.
By being equally as un-trustworthy.

i believe Hamas would do it on purpose just to make Israel look bad… it probably wasn’t even a mistake… i mean, they use their own people as meat shields all the time, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they bombed their own kids…
gaza is about the size of jersey and one of the most crowded cities in the world. if you shoot 1 ton missiles into a crowd of people to hit one target, chances are you are going to hit more than just your target
they would do it on purpose
or perhaps israel kills people on purpose when shooting those missiles?
it doesn’t matter what else, perhaps… i know Hamas would do it, just to intensify the conflict… and so does everyone else…
Israel is the size of New Jersey. Gaza is something like 140 Sq miles.
Israel doesn’t need help to look bad, fucking despicable.
I’m just gonna say this:
For a parking lot that was directly hit by a rocket, the cars barely moved and stayed intact more than United 93, the buildings right next to said parking lot stood stronger than the World Trade Center, and I’ve seen potholes bigger than the crater they found.
Now that biden has left the area the media will change the narrative again because more and more evidence coming forward shows that it wasn’t a hamas rocket that did it
https://twitter.com/AJEnglish/status/1714984258358391057
and just listen to this sound:
https://twitter.com/citizenjournos_/status/1714454679394951567
This wouldn’t be the first time that either side denies the attack, and months later the truth comes out.
My first assumption is that the aggressive occupying genocidal regime is lying, but that video shows that they can’t see a rocket that did it but if it was a misfire from the ground we wouldn’t see it either. So I cant see how this is definitive.
Regardless of who did it Israel regularly kills civilians anyway so they are still cunts.
It’s obviously not definite. But neither is Israel’s evidence , which is the same evidence.
I think israel and the USA know, they have eyes everywhere, satellites, starlink, awacs, drones. There is definitely proof of who did this. Since israel has failed to provide that proof, i tend to believe they want to hide the truth until a later date when it won’t matter anymore.
I’m on board to think the worst of Israel at any given moment, in fact even if this wasn’t them it is still as a result of their policies and actions as an apartheid regime committing a genocide.
Fuck the US for appeasing Jewish Hitler.
