Source: President Mahmoud Abbas cancels planned meeting with President Biden after hospital strike
Assuming Israel is responsible, they have a lot of nerve calling anyone else a terrorist.
The IDF claims this was caused by a mid-fire of Hamas rockets. Both sides have provided the exact same amount of evidence, zero. Maybe wait before hoping back on the anti-Israel bandwagon.
If you're going to repost this random guess, at least fix your typo between copy paste.
Yes, that is exactly what was implied by the first four words of my comment. Maybe learn to read before jumping on the pro-Israel bandwagon.
Why are you pasting this exact same comment on any threads where the Israeli narrative is questioned? I'm trying to figure out if you're part of a Mossad information op, or just a naive Fox News viewer.
Here is the video of the bombing. https://youtube.com/shorts/cCSugJpGdO4
Last i saw it was the Israeli Jihad they were blaming it on.
Unfortunately, USInt seems to have arrived at the conclusion that nobody was right.
Israel didn't do it, but neither did Hamas. It would seem that the bombing was carried out by an entirely different militia of Jihadi Palestinians, which if true could indicate that these were Boko Haram types that blew the thing because modern medical science is "too western"
Nation states commit acts of war not acts of terror. If you think about it any act you would call terrorism would also be causus belli.
Any violence knowingly committed against civilians by a nation state should be considered an act of terrorism.
Nation states
Personally, I don't recognize the 1948 decision to create this nation state out of thin air, displacing an already existing nation and illegally seizing their land. So I'm cool to keep talking about it as a terrorist organization, yeah? Okay, thanks.
The sheer gall to bomb a hospital. Fucking sick. I’ll be calling all my representatives tonight to ask them if they really want to continue to enable these war criminals with military aid. The inhumanity is exhausting
Spoiler: if they have an R next to their name, they most certainly do.
Not since I moved thankfully
Hamas put their headquarters in the hospital
That’s the one where patients went to after the bombing. The one hit, according to the article, was the Al-Ahli Hospital.
Do you people just like lick up whatever the IDF tells you
The IDF claims this was caused by a mid-fire of Hamas rockets. Both sides have provided the exact same amount of evidence, zero. Maybe wait before hoping back on the anti-Israel bandwagon.
except Israel has already run exactly this playbook in 2014, and yes, they did bomb a hospital.
Can anyone here explain what moral right does USA have here to come in an intervene on side of Israel at the same time threatening Iran from taking side of Palestine? Now that a hospital with over 500 deaths have been made by Israel. Wouldn't.... That fall on hands of USA too since they brought their warships nearby and thousands of troops at the ready?
We don't regardless of whose fault the hospital was
Story has been updated:
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military says it had no involvement in an explosion that killed hundreds of people at a Gaza City hospital and that the blast was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket.
The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza says an Israeli airstrike caused the blast, and that it killed some 500 people, many of whom had sought shelter from an ongoing Israeli offensive.
The Israeli military, however, said Palestinian militants had fired a barrage of rockets near the hospital at the time.
The Guardian mentioned that this much damage with one rocket would likely go above the usual capabilities of Hamas.
Not saying that it couldn't be that, but certainly something to consider.
Wasn’t fired from Hamas, problem solved
There is more than two players here
On the one hand, bombing a hospital is pretty brazen even for Israel, especially as your most important ally is en route for a visit, and the explanation of a Hamas rocket going astray does seem plausible. On the other hand, I'm not inclined to trust the word of a country that has proudly cut off food and water for 2.2 million people for over a week now. You don't get the benefit of the doubt when your actively committing war crimes. Also it may not have been intentional, a IDF pilot could have just missed a target or gone rogue. I'm sure no UN inspectors will ever be let in to examine the scene to make a determination, so we'll probably never know the truth. It probably doesn't matter much, the dead are dead either way, the grieving families will grieve either way, and all sides of the conflict will believe what they want to further their political ends, including Hezbollah using potentially using this as a justification for a broader conflict. It's just tragedy on top of tragedy.
Israel bombed a Palestinian hospital in 2014, what was their initial response?
The Israeli military denied initial reports that its forces were responsible for the strikes, saying instead that the bombing was the result of rockets misfired by Palestinian militants — while Hamas cast blame back at Israel.
Sound familiar?
Shocker, it came out that they did in fact bomb the hospital and killed children. Israel will always blame Palestine for its mistakes.
It is not plausible it is a Hamas rocket.
Only modern munitions have the power to destroy hospitals and kill hundreds of people.
If Hamas had such rockets, they would be launching them at Israel every day.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Photos purportedly from al-Ahli Hospital shared widely on social video showed fire engulfing the building, widespread damage and bodies scattered in the wreckage.
Hamas, which sparked the latest war with an attack last week that killed more than 1,400 Israelis, called Tuesday’s hospital strike “a horrific massacre.” It said in a statement that most of the casualties were displaced families, patients, children and women.
With Israel barring entry of water, fuel and food into Gaza since Hamas’ brutal attack last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken secured an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss creation of a mechanism for delivering aid to the territory’s 2.3 million people.
“The return of the hostages, which is sacred in our eyes, is a key component in any humanitarian efforts,” he told reporters, without elaborating whether Israel was demanding the release of all of the roughly 200 people Hamas abducted before allowing supplies in.
A barrage of strikes crashed into the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, leveling an entire block of homes and causing dozens of casualties among families inside, residents said.
Associated Press journalists Amy Teibel in Jerusalem; Abby Sewell in Beirut; Samy Magdy and Jack Jeffrey in Cairo; and Ashraf Sweilam in el-Arish, Egypt contributed to this report.
The original article contains 1,687 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
All aid, except medical help for their own injured, to israel should be stopped in return to the hospital strike. But it wont happen because the US likes to strike hospitals as well.
I’d like to see you prove it was an Israeli strike first. Fuck netanyahoo the war criminal but it’s wild how sure everyone is based on fuck all
Ambulances and private cars rushed some 350 casualties from the al-Ahli blast to Gaza City’s main hospital, al-Shifa, already overwhelmed with wounded from other strikes, said its director, Mohammed Abu Selmia. The wounded were laid onto bloody floors, screaming in pain.
“We are squeezing five beds into a single tiny room. We need equipment, we need medicine, we need beds, we need anesthesia, we need everything,” Abu Selmia said, warning that the fuel supply for the hospital’s generators will run out Wednesday. “I think Gaza’s medical sector will collapse within hours.”
This is heart wrenching and sickening.
