President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren't behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.
Biden responded that it was "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."
Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.
I just want to respectfully remind everyone that just because this tragedy was likely not perpetrated by Israel, it does not mean they are absolved of any of the hundreds of war crimes they have already committed.
The problem I have with this narrative isn't who dropped the bomb. Tbh they're probably right it was a Palestinian missile. It's the sheer audacity for all these western countries to be shocked and say let's figure this out, as Israel just dropped like 6000 bombs in 6 days. They're worried about one bomb but not the 6000 others, cause ya know, those were killing only Hamas and not injured people in a hospital /s.
While the Muslim world looks on in horror at more bombing in a conflict that has been going on for decades, the western world is focused on insignificant details. Who carried out what attack. Who dropped what bomb. Which act is more morally reprehensible. None of this solves the problem of a displaced people. Only the US can pressure Israel to accept a two state solution. That's the only peaceful solution possible for this conflict imo. The other solution is to wipe out Gaza and the West Bank and everyday we're getting closer to that.
I don't consider the Pentagon to be a reliable source for information when they have a vested interest in the conflict. Remember when they said Saddam Hussain had "weapons of mass destruction" which was used to justify the Iraq invasion? Well there never were any. The Pentagon manufactured that disinformation, and media parroted it like loyal puppets.
If anyone made it as far as the third sentence in the article, they might notice that "Islamic Jihad" in the title refers to "Palestinian Islamic Jihad".
They're not blaming Hamas for this incident. PIJ is a separate organisation.
Ah, if the CIA says it's true, I'm sure they're neutral and definitely not trying to push an agenda. The CIA famously never lies about the military capabilities of organisations against US interests.
Seriously, you all fucking believe this? Shame on you all for your lack of pattern recognition skills.
i believe Hamas would do it on purpose just to make Israel look bad.. it probably wasn't even a mistake.. i mean, they use their own people as meat shields all the time, it wouldn't be a surprise if they bombed their own kids..
Man I can't wait 60 years for the DoD or CIA to declassify these documents that show otherwise.
Seriously you should check out some of the stuff the CIA has declassified. Some insane involvement and coverups of so many incidents, wars, overthrows, uprisiings, etc.
I even learned Chuck Yeager had his personal beechcraft bombed by the IAF, and he was so pissed that he listed it as a PAF loss in his 1971 war report lol. He also confirmed PAF's 3:1 k/d, and interviewed all the captured IAF pilots.
All back when Nixon was running the show, so who knows what other stuff went down.
For a parking lot that was directly hit by a rocket, the cars barely moved and stayed intact more than United 93, the buildings right next to said parking lot stood stronger than the World Trade Center, and I've seen potholes bigger than the crater they found.
Now that biden has left the area the media will change the narrative again because more and more evidence coming forward shows that it wasn't a hamas rocket that did it
USA is directly involved on the conflict with more than 5000 soldiers ready, believe in this is like believing in Belarus statements about Ukraine war.
BBC does not found any evidence of the attack from any side but al Jazeera had a live stream that shows a rocket comming from Israel at the same time.
This argument that the blast site does not appears to be from a Israel's warhead is shit. Israel would not target a Hospital directly and this could be a piece of the rocket that broke off.
Palestinians lie, and the world blames Jews, then the world targets Jews, and when the truth finally comes out, no one apologizes, the hurt and blood cannot be rescinded, because "The Jews deserved it anyway"
Sure is crazy how, of all the places a rocket misfire could have landed, it struck a place guaranteed to be full of people. A baptist hospital, no less, which would definitely drive up religious tensions in the area if it turned out it was bombed by HAMAS. Israel couldn’t have hoped for a more favorable outcome, how fortunate.
