    Im going crazy at people’s reaction to a hospital being bombed during the largest aerial bombardment from Israel (A country known for bombing hospitals) into Gaza, this hospital was supposedly just meant to have exploded thanks to a weapon dozens of times more powerful than anything Hamas has ever had in its arsenal.

    I’m actually losing my fucking mind at these comments

      I genuinely don’t understand what you’re suggesting happened. There’s an incredible amount of ambiguity from the average commenter to where I can’t tell if they believe it’s an isreali strike or a failed Hamas rocket

        Some of the highest voted comments here are in total agreement with the Israeli narrative despite total lack of evidence.

          Are they? I can’t work out if it’s sarcasm or people being genuinely direct.

          Fuck I’ve lost touch with internet etiquette and nuances to where I can’t trust a fucking thing I read anymore. I’m sitting here with my pants down not understanding anything

            Don’t be so hard on yourself, the comment section for every article remotely related to this conflict is an absolute shitfest.

            KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip – A massive blast rocked a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter Tuesday, killing hundreds of people, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military said the hospital was hit by a rocket misfired by Palestinian militants. The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 500 people w

        As he said he is losing his mind. Because it clashes with reality and he cannot accept anything that goes against his firm convictions.

          It’s so interesting to me that even your comment is ambiguous, it’s like everyone on lemmy has evolved to not make themselves clear to what their opinion is

            Oh I did not mean that to be ambigious. To make it clear: I think the user is a dumbass who gets upset because people don’t believe that Israel attacked the hospital but that it was caused by the “defenders”. Which is something he cannot accept because in his mind Israel must be at fault.

      I spent most of today trying to get to the bottom of this. I don’t have the answer.

      On some level I’m just like, what frigging difference does it even make, it’s all caused by this idiotic conflict. Give the Palestinians some of the land back, arrange a change in power on both sides, release the hostages, get this god damn thing over with already. Fuck Hamas, fuck genocidal Netanyahu, you leave it up to them and these people will be killing each other forever.

      Where is the vision to bring this apartheid/conflict/whatever to an end FOREVER?

        it makes a big difference because if (FUCKING IF) this was a missile strike from Israel (very much not looking like the case), this gives the rest of us a more powerful lever to apply pressure on Israel. Biden has already forced them to allow aid to Gaza, but we can do more. NetanYAHOO is a fucking war criminal but he ain’t Putin (yet), I don’t see him thumbing his nose to the Hague and continue to cheer on more war crimes.

        That’s why this is so important, if this truly was a missile strike on a hospital, it is direct escalation that 100% indefensible, and will also give more legitimacy to progressive Jews everywhere that are condemning this war.

      Yea, first they had their propagandists celebrate it, then they said it was shot down by iron dome, then they said it was a malfunction. They said it came from a cemetery next to the hospital, then changed to say it came from south Gaza. The only difference between this incident and the thousands of other strikes is that it garnered more sympathy in the west.
