Now that Israel just openly declares it is bombing and invading hospitals, the fog of war bullshit really doesn’t matter anymore.
Maybe this one hospital strike was a rocket. What about all the other ones?
Yeah, so maybe you’re right, maybe I did steal money from your purse, push grandma down the stairs when she got in my way, left the milk out over night, shit in Dad’s shoes while high on meth, smoked crack in the alley, slapped all my cousins alphabetically, poured cocaine on the dog, but I swear, I didn’t smoke crack in my bedroom and I don’t like being accused of things I didn’t do!
My understanding is this lie was used by Hamas to isolate Israel from Arab nations where much of the public was frankly horrified by the brutal violence Hamas had aimed specifically at civilians. So no, it wasn’t just “the one relatively inconsequential thing,” it is a lie that has had serious consequences.
Considering the fact that Israel is now bombing and invading every hospital, what difference does it make?
If this was a lie then it was only a lie by a few weeks. Israel has fulfilled every accusation that Hamas has made.
It’s also a large part of why people believe everything Hamas says (e.g. death tolls) while also refusing to believe anything Israel says.
The reason people believe Gazan death tolls is that they’re found to be reliable by almost every organization working in the region. And the reason most people refuse to believe what Israel says without confirmation is because they’ve been caught lying on multiple occasions, many times going as far as fabricating evidence (remember the Al-Shifa calendar)?
All the other ones were literally illegally used by Hamas as bases of combat operations and storage of their weapons. Heroes don’t hide behind injured vulnerable people in hospitals or behind children in their schools. Hamas deserves to be destroyed.

According to Israel, the one doing the war crimes. 🙄
Ignoring any conclusions you have made from Palestinian reporters, what war crimes have Israel committed?
So, ignoring the only people on the ground telling us what is happening?
Okay, so Israel has openly admitted to the crime of collective punishment through the blockade and indiscriminate bombing by claiming that anyone who voted for Hamas is a legitimate military target. Bombing hospitals, something else they now admit to, is a crime even if they are mixed military/civilian targets; a claim that Israel has still not proven, by the way. They’ve also made their motives very clear about forcing the population of Gaza into Egypt, though they claim this is merciful and humanitarian it is still ethnic cleansing and fits the crime of genocide.
These are war crimes that Israel is telling the world it is committing that do not require us to rely on reporting from Palestinian journalists.
Bruh the UNHRC literally condemned Israel for committing warcrimes.
Regardless of whether you think it’s justifiable or not to bomb buildings with both militants and civilians, it’s not a war crime.
But beyond that, you’re claiming Palestine isn’t doing war crimes‽
Israel claims these buildings are being used by both militants and civilians.
dumbest thing i’ve read today
Hamas dick riders in here should all be on terrorist watch lists with Hamas. Why do your heroes kidnap and hold 4 year old girls and mothers as hostages? Is that how good guys are supposed to act?
They are fucking terrorists and you supporting them by spreading their propaganda makes you complicit.
I hope Israel kills every single last one of those Hamas cowards who are shooting rockets from inside hospitals.
Using children and human shields are the conduct of cowards who deserve to die.
Neither side is ‘good’ or remotely acts like it in this conflict/war. The only good guys around are the medics & doctors trying to keep people from dying, volunteers trying to keep people from dying of lack of food/water/warmth; and of course all the innocent civilians who are caught up in this clusterfuck.

Naw, these people are bad too, it turns out. These people are willing to lie to everyone to preserve their access to Gaza and the flow of UN aid.
And that’s bad because? Even assuming that’s true, the fact that they need to lie to get aid into Gaza is the problem.
I think it’s bad when people who claim neutrality in a conflict are actually aiding one side of the conflict, and lying about it. Israel would be justified, in this situation, in treating them as spies.
Spies against a brutal genocidal occupier are good guys in my book.
Spies on the side of the guys who rape 13-year-old girls with knives aren’t the “good guys” in any fucking universe.
Setting aside the veracity of that accusation, medical personnel can only be interpreted as on the side of civilians. It just happens that the interests of civilians (not dying) happen to go against the interests of Israel (killing civilians and taking their lands).
HRW may very well be right here, but if the only investigation the police does after a homicide is talk to some witnesses… but you know, never actually check for fingerprints, or in this case… analyze fragments from the rocket, then I’m not going to go all in and say that they’ve done much of a report. How convenient that people act like this is all the proof they need without even reading what they actually examined.
Who the hell cares, Israel has killed a whole lot more innocent people, including thousands of fucking children. The Israeli government is a bunch of genociders.
0.5% is a terrible genocide.
1 in 200 people. Yeah it definitely is.
Well, according to al jazeera they dropped 6000 bombs - 4000 tonnes - from Oct 7 - Oct 12.
As of 2nd Nov the number was 25000 tonnes. Let’s say that’s 25000 bombs.
Pretty terrible death rate for that number considering the options available.
This motherfucker wants more innocent people killed, wow. Genocider.
I’m sorry, do we have to wait for them to finish? We know their intentions, Israeli officials say it plainly, that they want to remove them all, make it uninhabitable where they live. That is the act of genocide, you piece of garbage.

I thought they only lied though. I guess you can always pick and choose which parts you believe.
They do lie, they lie all the time. Yet when they talk about their bloodthirst for genocide, dumb motherfuckers like you say, “oh haha that’s so funny they’re just kidding!” Y’all stupid shits of course only believe lies. Talk about picking and fuckin choosing, my god you hypocrite.
Don’t you bother to ask what happened to 1000 misfired rockets from Gaza?
(1200 something confirmed misfires from IDF, and almost 800 something from a twitch streaming bots that were scraping al Jazeera cams etc, some independent new reports on these too). Let’s just say 200 rockets, don’t you wonder where they landed and what happened?
And the amount of rockets fired by anyone in Gaza is nothing compared to the sheer destruction Israel does.
People seemed to care a lot when they thought it was Israel’s fault.
It was justified to think it was Israel, because they bombed that exact hospital before, and many others. And it’s still a terrible thing because people died. But let’s remember that this single event is a small compared to the rest of the genocide Israel is doing to Palestinians.

By October 12th, they had hit multiple ambulances and health facilities: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/12/war-crime-gaza-medics-say-israel-targeting-ambulances-health-facilities
The Archbishop has called for Israel’s evacuation order on Gaza’s hospitals to be reversed. His call comes as an Anglican-run hospital in Gaza was struck by Israeli rocket fire last night.
That Anglican-run hospital is the one from the OP btw.
Yeah, what’s your point?
It wasn’t struck by Israelis.
Because the truth and facts matter when discussing moral responsibility. It doesn’t absolve Israel of other acts of war harming civilians. But this matters when discussing Hamas’s responsibility over the death of Gaza civilians.
You will all nitpick minor details and put those who are oppressed (the Palestinians) over hot fiery coals for being potentially wrong whilst never laying a single ounce of doubt or blame on Israel, the ones conducting a god damn ethnic cleansing. I’m sorry I don’t really care about arguing over this one specific instance of horror, (that which I never personally said was Israels fault by the way) when there are many thousands upon thousands of other instances that Israel boasts about murdering innocent people.
Nitpick all you want, but all of you are just pathetic if this is the tiny sad ant hill you die on while real people die.
