Do we actually know who bombed the hospital in Gaza yet?

I keep seeing mixed reports. It’s really unsettling not to know.

"Israel not behind the strike but he provided no evidence". Biden

Al jazzera.

See how cunning that is : the guardian does this and this is why I lost total respect for it...

Omission is the greatest lie.

Omg this hamas have immense powers they are everywhere All these documentaries filmed in gaza clearly showing an open air prison are all sets .. If you enter into a debate ask yourself will anything they say change my mind if the answer is no then do not enter it ! I am not sure who is radicalised here ! You are refusing to accept any wrongdoing by the israeli forces

yet again you are weirdly arguing something no-one has said. It’s a bit like gaslighting. It’s useful to quote if you think you’re responding to a specific point

Breaking the Silence activities are made possible through the generous support of individuals and foundations including:

Bertha Foundation, Broederlijk Delen, CAFOD, Dan Church Aid, Danish Representative Office in Ramallah, the Delegation of the European Union to the State of Israel, Foundation for Middle East Peace, medico international, MISEREOR, The Moriah Fund, New Israel Fund, NGO Development Center, Open Society Foundations, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Sigrid Rausing Trust, SIVMO, Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs,Trócaire, UNDP
* This list is correct to 2021.

From their website. Maybe approach one of the many credible organisations listed above and on their website if you're worried about the veracity of the soldiers' claims. I am sure they wouldn't put their name to the website if they had any doubt as to the veracity of the testimonies.

To be fair, the exact same thing can be said for the anti-Israeli/Jew posters. They will never change their minds.

...and we all know who'd kill 8 millions Jews in a heartbeat if they were given the chance.

Edited

In that particular case the Kuwaiti government asked for help. It wasn't going to get help from anyone else.

HeidiInTheBigCity · 18/10/2023 22:10

Honestly, everyone!

Arguably pointless appeal to "best judgment" and "reason":

Actually, we do not currently know!

What we do know is that the IDF are putting forward claims - backed up by "may or may not be faked" - that are at least somewhat plausible. And that the very same IDF have a proven track record of lying their arses off in an attempt to blame someone else.

I, for one, am very much hoping that there will - eventually! after this current "acute" phase of the horror (but: it will very much still be going on, outside of the headlines) be an independent investigation by someone like the UN or ICRC - and I am prepared for them to conclude [not what I am assuming at present].

But we all need to stop making claims when we actually know fuck all (except: naturally, we all know who is right, and wrong, in general - because we are human and born omniscient!). Because all this is achieving is fanning the flames of already at boiling point tempers!

We need to de-escalate! We need a ceasefire! And if we fail, more people will die!

Obviously I've quoted myself there by mistake and I can't be bothered to change it.

Are you talking about the Arab nations surrounding Israel or people on here that aren't falling for the bull?

RoyalImpatience · 18/10/2023 22:14

Every news outlet bar Al jazzera are getting experts veryfying this.

Us intelligence teams, UK, idf are all looking at different aspects of the tragedy.
What's hammas doing? Just yelling as loud as they can... It was Israel...

topnoddy · 18/10/2023 22:24

US and UK intelligence are going to say whatever their leaders tell them to say , it suits their purpose , which is to back Israel no matter what they have done .

They are committing mass murder on a grand scale .

swirlingabyss · 18/10/2023 22:25

@RoyalImpatience not true

all the news sources I am looking at still unable to verify either way

Has it even entered your head that the IDF didn't do it?

RoyalImpatience · 18/10/2023 22:26

But they are trying arnt they looking at evidence and it's very much looking forward like hammas.

Hammas are not looking at evidence, Al jazzera doesn't have any experts on picking through it...

Are they the same ones that last night stated that the IDF definitely did do it and then back-tracked? At the moment there is zero evidence for that claim and plenty of evidence showing it was a blue on blue incident.

RoyalImpatience · 18/10/2023 22:29

Democratic nations have to report the truth.. We are able to get rid of our government.

Look at Blair and Iraq.

Look at that dodgy dossier.

Lies happen but we have a far better chance in a democracy of holding our leaders to account.

Whats hope in hell does hammas or any non democratic country have?

RoyalImpatience · 18/10/2023 22:30

Once they get their evidence I hope its printed on leaflets to be dropped in gaza that would have more power than the bombs

If our literal next door neighbours in the West don't believe it, I don't think there's much chance a Gazan would.

swirlingabyss · 18/10/2023 22:35

@FreeCoathangers every news source I am looking at is still unable to verify. Have a watch of the C4 news clip from an hour or two ago I linked above which presents evidence on both sides.

swirlingabyss · 18/10/2023 22:36

Private eye are keeping it real.

Of course leaders of democratic states align themselves with those who share their values. Hamas, ISIS and similar groups are never going to be accepted by countries who are value gender equality, religious tolerance and universal suffrage.

thanks, I'm happy someone said this. everything seems aimed at demonizing Israel instead of just their govt, like they haven't been bombing each other for the past 7 decades. they keep doing awful things to each other in turns.

I've watched 4 sources. They've presented the evidence available and in my opinion left it up to the viewer to make their mind up. To me, it's a massive stretch to say it was the IDF. You've seen the impact creator, right?

If I'm wrong, I'll apologise profusely, but I honestly don't think I am
