    So where are we at right now?

    “We didn’t bomb the hospital, Hamas did. And even if we bombed the hospital, Hamas used it as a base. And even if they didn’t, a some of them were in there. And even if they weren’t, there were Hamas tunnels under the hospital.”

    I wonder what’s next

      “The civilians there deserved to be bombed because they supported Hamas”

      Wait, didn’t we do that one already?

        They were enemy combatants because they were within bombing radius of an enemy combatant. That was the American logic in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to print more humane-looking civilian casualty numbers

        That’s also step 0 for daring to question the actions of the IDF

        Edit: This is of course a joke pointing out how often people will scream about someone being antisemitic for saying that the IDF ain’t justified in their bombing of civilians.

          Who has claimed Israel is justified in killing civilians? Afaik that’s not a very popular position anywhere in the world.

          I mean ofc there are psychos out there and radicals, but as a mainstream view? Nah. Most everyone I come across is saddened by the whole thing and feels sympathy for people just trying to survive.

      Note that this article mentions the “Hamad bin Khalifa” hospital.

      The article does not claim to disprove the claim that under the “al-Shifa” hospital there is a Hamas base

      They’re two different hospitals

        Now that Israel is openly bombing hospitals I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume they lied about the al-Shifa hospital. oop it was Al-Ahli hospital I can’t keep all of these atrocities straight!

      We didn’t bomb the hospital, Hamas did

      We are here still, because to my knowledge no evidence of the “people in the parking lot” bombing being from Israel has come around and most traits of the explosion point to it being a Hamas rocket.

      Even this article doesn’t say anything about evidence to the contrary coming forward.

        You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. The hospital you’re referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the “rocket” from the footage you’re referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.

        Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.

          Yeah they’ve bombed so many hospitals its hard to keep them straight. It’s incredible that Zionists are still bothering to deny it.

          Though I’m pretty sure the parking lot explosion was at the al-Shifa hospital.

            No, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital’s solar panels.

          Israel also owns up to all of those. The original commenter is intentionally misleading by calling back to the one that was actually denied.

              Israel has been very plain about saying they did it in the vast majority of cases. The only major hospital incident I’m aware of that they have denied is the one that appears to have been from the Palestinians.

              This article is literally citing the reason Israel gave as justification.

      All of those things could be true.

      People expecting 100% certainty and clarity in a warzone… Historically, have any wars ever been better documented or more transparent?

        They haven’t. But simultaneously, has it ever been easier for any of the conflicting parties to get propaganda and false information out to the masses? It’s a double-edged blade.
