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

Oh yes but it's been stockpiling and using aid to build up an arsenal.

No outrage though hammas?? It's OK to have an accident is it in war and bomb your own desperate people by accident??

Anti Israel is not anti semitic.

They would do it and they did, and what support did they lose from the US and UK, none.
Which European country has condemned them, none.

They do it because they know they can get away with it

Nobody is condemning them because at the moment there are only accusations that it was them. Independent bodies are working on looking for evidence as to who did it.

Thankfully, gone are the days when Hamas makes accusations, the world immediybelieves them and condemns Israel and by the time it's been realised it was actually lies and doctored video footage, only the original accusation is remembered.

The Irish government has condemned them since Day 1

Some of you really need to take a moment and reflect on how you would be feeling in this situation if you were on the 'other side'. I've been reading posts since this started and the lack of humanity is glaring.
Life is life and right now we should all be calling for a de-escalation and an end to this. Some of you seem to just be justifying actions, it really is hideous.

half the Spanish government as well which has caused the embassy to get pissed off

So who's condemned them since bombing the hospital?

And if Israel cared surely they would be helping people caught up in such a tragedy, by at least letting aid in

The aid is waiting on border with Egypt ? People don’t seem to mention them though.

Could you provide examples when false accusations have been made against Israel and then spread by media as true and then later found to be false?

It is NOT Israeli military strategy to bomb hospitals.

It IS Hamas strategy to store munitions and terrorist infrastructure under schools, hospitals and residential buildings.

Israel actively warns civilians by text messages and leaflet drops before they strike Hamas infrastructure in residential areas.

There is no reason why Israel would choose to strike a hospital, they have had a degree of support from the West the past 12 days, and would be foolish to risk losing that.

Oh, do not be disingenuous now!

It may or may not official official strategy - but the IDF has a long track record of striking civilian and medical targets.

For "the most moral army in the world" (their words, not mine!), they also have quite the astonishing tendency to suffer "unfortunate accidents" - almost as though they basically accepted high "collateral damage" or something! Leaflets are nice ... but, no, you do not get away with bombing and shelling civilian houses, claiming "oh, but we told them we might have to drop some explosives on them". The IDFs abuses against Palestinian civilians are well documented and go back years!

Look, I am on the record, on this very thread, as stating that, realistically speaking, we do not have confirmation of who bombed this specific hospital, specifically yesterday. And this implies that I am open to the possibility that, for once, the IDF might be innocent! But the IDF are not civilian-friendly. They do not even go to any special lengths to avoid civilian casualties.

If it's not Israeli strategy to bomb hospitals why did they ask for it to be evacuated and drop letters telling civilians to leave?

they’ve just released verified footage showing it was a failed missile, fired from behind the hospital, aimed for Israel.

the likelihood of this now being proven to come from Israel is very low

BumWad · 18/10/2023 16:50

Remember when Israel denied shooting Shireen Abu Akleh and blamed it on the Palestinians?

They have form for this.

Of course it was Israel. You are all so gullible.

Hamas and their extremist jihadi / Iranian allies being beacons of truth and freedoms of course.

You are just as gullible if you believe them.

From the IDF dossier, I wonder if they might be biased?!

No they both lie, stop making it one side vs another.
Israel did lie about the shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh. They admitted it themselves so why are you denying it?

Er no I think they examined things like crater size, damage, impact in pictures/footage and explained the difference between what Israel uses and whats here etc. A defence analyst, a weapons expert and a research fellow in airpower agreed. But you go ahead and believe Hamas…. You do that.

Luckydip1 · 18/10/2023 17:41

@Noicant they would say that wouldn't they, duh.

EvelynKatie · 18/10/2023 17:41

@Boundoverbyacat where is the verified footage from?

No you are completely right, a bunch of subject matter experts just went, “I could look at footage/pictures from a variety of sources to apply my knowledge and put my professional reputation on the line to try to solve this mystery that the entire world seems deeply interested in and has blown crisis talks off course…. Nah fuck it…I’ll just repeat what the IDF says”.

Maybe just maybe Hamas and Islamic Jihad just have shit rockets.

Luckydip1 · 18/10/2023 17:51

@Noicant if the Israelis hadn't announced that they planned to bomb the hospital I just possibly might have believed it wasn't them.

I can’t read it as needs login. However I can read the subtitle. If the experts rely on israel dossier then I’m not keen to trust them. It’s like saying some experts can proof it wasn’t hamas based on some hamas dossier
it needs to be someone completely independent doing the investigation
