I'll leave the analysis on what caused the explosion to others; the outcome genuinely makes me sick to my stomach. This is beyond horrible. The only way this could get a somewhat positive outcome is that the international community can't sit back and do nothing (ie post vague condemnation). Action has to be taken for this. This has to end now. Feel so utterly sad for the Palestinians going through this.
You mean like when I initially responded "I call BS on that" when the first journalist clip came out saying she heard about beheaded babies? And not shying away from criticizing Biden to get his story right before he says in public that he saw the photos?
A school and a hospital in the same day, the world is fecked up
Ain't that the truth.
Why not? It is one of the densest populations on earth bombed for a week? They are going to shelter somewhere.
If you mean it seems high then I don't think it would be overly surprising, there's around 21k people per square mile around Gaza City and 500 per 100m2 in some areas of Gaza City
No doubt Hamas will be celebrating, no matter who dunnit.
5000 people all crammed together in a courtyard though?
Hamas fired a rocket which woke up a nearby sleeping giant who accidentally kicked the hospital over during the disturbance.
Israel* is fecked up.
Those stats are pretty mind blowing. Fecking hell.
Nothing will happen. Time and time again Israel commits crimes against humanity. But to the west, Palestinians aren't considered humans. Just say Hamas this and that and the media will cast its playbook doubts, until you all forget in 1 or 2 days. feck Israel and all that support them.
There are huge protests going on right now in the west bank.
Fair dos. That’s an unfair comment from me in that case, so apologies.
Hamas fire rockets fairly frequently, right? Have they ever accidentally blown up buildings in Gaza before? If not, bit of a coincidence for this to happen in the middle of an aerial assault by Israel?
This might be factually true but it's not gonna cut it.
If they don't have some video evidence with very solid explanations...
Nobody is going to buy that.
i24 news is a mouthpiece for Netanyuhu cosplaying as a news source. They come out with false shit all the time.
I don’t think I can share a specific post in the live feed, but it was from 20:06 by reporter Tom Bateman.
“The Al Ahli hospital is fully funded by the Anglican Church, say church officials.
I’ve been speaking to Canon Richard Sewell who is Dean of St George’s College - one of the Anglican Church’s top figures in Jerusalem.
He says church officials understand that around 6,000 displaced people were sheltering in the hospital courtyard by the end of last week. The hospital says it was first hit by an Israeli airstrike on Saturday.
That strike injured four people, after which around 5,000 people left the courtyard - leaving around 1,000 remaining there.
The Al Ahli hospital receives much of its funding from Episcopal Church donors in the US, say officials.
They say it is totally independent of any political factions in Gaza.”
Initial investigation by the hamburglar shows someone else stole all the burgers.
Israeli embassy has been set on fire in Jordan.
It's an official IDF message, so it's got nothing to do with i24.
Jesus. Those numbers really bring it home how horrendous conditions must be for everyone living there.
Yes it has happened plenty of times. They’re not accurate, they do go astray sometimes and cause damage. Never anything close to this scale though, not remotely close. By contrast, here’s an example of an analogous event closer in scale (though if figures from tonight are accurate, still way off) - Qana Massacre
Ah some more Israel propaganda blaming the hospital bombing on Hamas. Israel gonna Israel.
Agreed and rightfully so.
The worst part is it might actually be true. But either way this was always going to be their conclusion. What are they going to say? Whoops, our bad? This is going to get extremely ugly no matter what actually happened.
The IDF are hardly a credible source. You know this and I know this. They lie all the time.
Good to know, thank you.
Like when the IDF say babies are beheaded?
Wait so they gave a warning before striking, and also its a Hamas rocket that struck the hospital? Which one is it? Both cant be true.
If you're going to believe what the IDF say, I've got a bridge to sell you. Liars to the bone. Killed Shireen in broad light daylight, killed hundreds in broad daylight, they always shift the blame back onto the Palestinians. The sad part is that people actually fall for this blatant Hasbrah.
Hasbara, isn't it?
Anyway, reporting what the IDF says is important here, surely?
The sad part is pro Israel and Biden will believe this.
The fact that some will actually believe whatever IDF come out with is insulting to the thousands that actually died...
Been denied by IDF spokesman. Lots of he said / she said between IDF & others.
Could've been an unattended deep fat fryer.
