Israeli officials edited this tweet to remove the video, which it implied was proof that the Gaza hospital was struck by Islamic terrorists, after it was pointed out that the footage was time-stamped at least 40 minutes after the strike took place. pic.twitter.com/d4a4rUvrhJ— Adam Bienkov (@AdamBienkov) October 17, 2023

I have a feeling that those who are in any way defending this action are going to find themselves very solidly on the wrong side of history. I don't see how you spin this as anything but monstrous with anyone who hasn't already divested themselves of their basic humanity.

If you had stood resolutely with Israel, you can still change you mind. You can see the bombing of a hospital and realize you’ve been misled. I was taught Zionism my whole childhood, until I learned more and changed my mind. You do not need to condone unspeakable atrocities.— Stop Cop City (@JoshuaPHilll) October 17, 2023

Brutal terror. The execution of defenseless civilians. Murdered infants, abducted children. Humiliated Holocaust survivors.

I mentioned upthread but a lot of posts since then: Yair Wallach has been a good voice on the area for a while for me, though his timeline atm is sharing accounts of the devastation, so obvious caveats apply. He also translates sources in Hebrew and is extremely critical of the government. I will always check his timeline if I’m unsure on something.

That ^^^^ MSNBC footage echoes what I was thinking earlier today... Israel is fucking peppered with rocket attacks from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah for years now, and they seem to be at most inconvenience or causing minor damage... this one destroyed an entire hospital, and that, to me, is much more in line with a U.S. made fighter jet firing U.S. made munitions

The blast killing hundreds at a hospital in Gaza is deeply wrong. I grieve for each person lost. There’s no excuse for the deaths of people seeking care and those who treated them.

It does look like Warren is saying the equivalent of guns don't kill people the impact of bullets does. Taking the agency out of the person who fired on the building. Do hope I'm reading that wrong, would hope for better from her.Atomistic thought like that doesn't help.There was intentionality from someone in firing on the hospital.

Really hearing this in Trump's voice
Biden has said Hamas has “committed evil atrocities that make Isis look somewhat rational.”
He said “We have to also bear in mind that Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people, and has brought them only suffering.”
The US president also said “I’m deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday. Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. But there’s a lot of people out there not sure, so we have to overcome a lot of things.”

President Biden appears to endorse Israel’s denial of responsibility for the explosion at the Gaza hospital. “Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” he said. “But there’s a lot of people out there not sure.” Israel has blamed Palestinian militants. Palestinian officials said Israel was responsible. Neither claim has been independently verified.
