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.

Unfortunately they are probably giving a just-about logical enough explanation that the extremists in the Israel supporting side will have something to cling to. Although you could argue they lost causes anyway.

Back on ignore you go. I’ll have to leave your blizzard of boring tweets and shite hot takes for others to savour without me.

Classic Pogue. Like trying to play chess with pigeon.

Mate be honest, I've been ignore all the time, unless you've deliberately ignored and not responded all the times I've responded positively to your posts, across various threads since January. Curiously when I respond with mild disagreement or something you don't like, there you suddenly appear, quick as a flash to leap onto the post and smear your vapid utterance back at me. You're so disingenuous.

But you're right though, life is too short, so please don't ever fecking respond to me on here again. Given your propensity for self aggrandising and condescending attitude, my experience on here will markedly improve.
 
The best argument against it being a Hamas misfire is the amount of damage and casualties. A Hamas rocket struck an Israeli hospital on Saturday, and the damage amounted to a hole in a wall and no casualties. We're talking a 10kg warhead at most, they aren't capable of leveling a hospital and killing 500 people.

Hasbara, isn't it?

Anyway, reporting what the IDF says is important here, surely?

Yes, Hasbara. "Le'has'bir" is the verb, meaning, to explain.
Has'ba'ra is the action itself- explaining.

the poster you quoted said something is "blatant Hasbara" which doesn't make sense because it means "blatant explaining".
he meant "this is blatant lying from the IDF"
 
I highly doubt Hamas have missiles capable of killing 500 people, it smells like Israel covering their messup but of course ''we investigated ourselves and we didnt do it''
Whoever did it, it is time to put hostility to bed and lets have a political solution ion to this mess.
 
Conricus is on CNN now officially claiming it was a failed rocket launch -- not from Hamas, but instead Islamic Jihad.

In the English-speaking world Hasbara is commonly understood to refer to Israeli propaganda.
 
There has to be some extremely solid and independently verified evidence to clear Israel from this. They might cry that they are being falsily accused, but what can you expect when you carry on with rhetoric atleast on par with Hamas and ISIS from officials/ministers during this retaliation phase. "Animals", "no innocent Palestinians" etc. Even the biggest defensive argument of "they have nothing to gain but all to lose" doesn't really hold up strong either, considering they're not willing to take on any criticism/condemnation onboard anyway.

IDF lies, there's no question about that.

I don't know if the beheaded babies was a lie.

I firmly believe that the IDF claim about the hospital is not a lie. Israel did not do this.

Based on their statement?

They lied through their teeth about Shireen Abu Akleh. You must be believing based on hope more than anything else, surely?

My first thought do hamas even have that capability to do that much damage this is a proper warhead.
 
If it's true that IDF weren't involved, the Americans better release some.footage quick. We all know how good even their non-classified imaging is - they will have proof regardless of who did it.
 
Hamas rocket hits Israel - one shed damaged and 3 sheep displaced

Hamas rocket hits Gaza - 500 killed and hospital obliterated

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.

It’s most likely Israel. They will just do what most nations states do which is blame the other guy and hope everyone forgets.

I doubt it will change much.

Where was this rigour when you were posting tweets about babies being beheaded, and women being raped next to dead bodies?

You're being unfair. @VorZakone does a good job in this forum with his tweet posting and usually is impartial.

Edit: You already apologized so forget this.
 
Pogue Mahone said:
What makes you so confident about that? Maybe they didn’t target it but perhaps hit it accidentally?
Click to expand...

If it was hit by the IDF, then it would have been accidently. It's just not in Israel's interest to do it.

Anyhow, some videos I've seen seem to strengthen the IDF's claim.
 
It's really fascinating watching everyone postulate on who blew up a f'cking hospital.

Blew. Up. A. Hospital.

The hell is wrong with the world. That one incident should have entire reports done it, and people held accountable. But it's just another mass death in this escalation.

Pretty much my view as well.

Perhaps it really wasn't Israel but the onus will be on them to prove so. They will deny it, they always initially do. Already its simultaneously both PIJ and Hamas, based on who you speak to......

Come one mate, I'm as pedantic as it gets when they butcher french. You should do the same, they can't get away with it.

“We investigated ourselves and we found out that we did nothing wrong.”

Sickening. The UK and US, and all those who supported and enabled Israel’s genocide under “the right to defend itself” have blood on their hands.

The international community has to wake up and put a stop to this. Sadly, there will be no repercussions for Israel under the protective guise of “antisemitism”, even though many Jewish people are horrified by the actions of these murderous zionists.

Totally agree, imagery could surely prove if it was missed launched from Israel.

It would depend how many rockets and where and what they hit I imagine. A lot of oxygen and nitrogen bottles about a hospital.

Not that I am saying it's true.

Should have been here last week when the whole world was obsessed about whether babies did or did not have their heads cut off.

I was just thinking, are we under the impression that every millimeter on the Gaza Strip is somehow videotaped?
Is it possible?

I assume what's more likely is that we'll never know because, if it wasn't Israel, and it was an error by Hamas/Islamic Jihad, there's not gonna be footage of it?
 
Amir said:
They absolutely lied then. And many other times.

But I don't believe this one is a lie.
Click to expand...
But what are you basing that on? Is it just their statement or something you’ve seen / heard otherwise?

It’s why I said is it on hope rather than expectation?

It is definitely in Israel's interest to lie about it if they did hit it accidentally though. So their claim doesn't mean much.

Some footage is there on Al Jazeera news channel that was broadcasting live at that time which shows a rocket is launched and soon after ground explosions happen. That is what was posted on Reddit worldnews subreddit. Not confirmed so not posting here.

Hmmmm... I'd like to see that. any chance it's online?

Edit: fair enough, just re-read why you won't post it. all good.
