Good thing everyone jumped to conclusions
NPR seems to agree with this aswell. Pretty much the exact same thing I was saying yesterday and got banned from lemmy.ml for my efforts despite never even claiming it’s conclusive yet, just where the available evidence seems to be pointing towards. No “leveled” hospital building and probably no 500 victims either.
Doesn’t in no way excuse the other atrocities Israel has commited, but this doesn’t seem to be one of those.
Lemmy.ml went full mask off after this event. They’re as bad as lemmygrad and hexbear.
Good grief. I may need to go shop for other instances to call home, just in case.
They still are denying it was Hamas.
Yeah it’s honestly not even worth opening posts about the conflict posted there.
The “hospital” is just a collection of small buildings clustered around a 2,000 m2 carpark. None of which were destroyed.
A lie is halfway round the world before the next lie drowns out the truth.
No one’s going to comment on “professional war crimes investigator” being a thing? His mental health professionals are going to need mental health professionals. You have to wonder how Nihilist his worldview is after 20 years.
So when will an official apology about this get issued? Never? Yeah, didn’t think so either.
Why would Hamas apologize? This helps them further radicalize Palestinians and their supporters abroad. Remember, Hamas has no issue using Palestinians as meat shields.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the immediate aftermath of the explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Hamas — and many observers — were quick to blame Israel, which has been conducting nonstop bombing runs for days in response to recent terror attacks.
As daylight broke on Wednesday and a clearer picture of the site was revealed, US officials, experts, and analysts began to push back on the initial claims that blamed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
As details of the incident, including videos of the munition flying past, began to surface Tuesday, some observers noted that the weapon appeared to be under power, which would be the case for rockets, but not air-dropped bombs.
As daytime photographs and videos of the scene began circulating across social media on Wednesday, some independent analysts, experts, and open-source intelligence accounts pointed out the lack of a massive crater and little structural damage to cars in the vicinity as a telling sign that an airstrike was unlikely the cause.
If Israel had struck the hospital with an air-dropped bomb, some of which are heavy 2,000-pound munitions, Garlasco said he would expect to see a larger crater somewhere between three and ten meters wide, with significant blast and fragmentation damage.
The Israeli government declared war on Hamas after the militant group staged a series of brutal terror attacks across southern Israel on October 7, killing at least 1,300 people and injuring over 4,000 others.

If you want objective takes on politics, Beau of the Fifth Column is hands down the best one to watch on YouTube, he didn’t break this story UNTIL there was concrete evidence because he always wants to get the story right: https://www.youtube.com/c/BeauoftheFifthColumn/videos
I can’t help thinking “How would this news story look different if Israel and the US were manipulating the media to cover up accidentally blowing up a hospital?” Would it look any different?
Because it was on livestream, geolocated instantly, on live anti-isreal al Jazeera feed too, etc. The evidence is overwhelming and only people who have actual brain damage have any doubts here
Would reality look different if there was an invisible, omnipotent deity pulling all the strings in such a way that his influence is impossible to detect?
Don’t burden your mind in unfalsifiable theories.
