A Channel 4 News investigation also confirms that Israel’s audio tape of “Hamas operatives discussing the rocket malfunction" is a fake with their experts saying that the tone, syntax, accent and idiom sound absurd and not credible: https://www.channel4.com/news/who-was-behind-the-gaza-hospital-blast-visual-investigation

    This is the first report that mentions there are multiple airstrikes hitting around the hospital at the time it was hit. Finally. I felt like I was going crazy. pepe-silvia

    It’s honestly wild anyone even has to waste energy and resources to dispute this. there’s never been a single event of such a devastating explosion from a single missile coming from Hamas but the one apparently they have they just end up using it on their own people?? Bffr

    What’s nuts is how little this ends up mattering in the end. Israel put out a bullshit accusation which is parroted ad nauseum because that is what the masters in the US state department ordained. By the time the dust settles and things become clear, it is too late and the mainstream media pretends to forget that they propagated heinous lies.

    There is a special circle in hell for bloodthirsty settlers and their apologists.

      The last decade has felt exactly like the time a kid from my middle school invited me to their house after school on a Wednesday night but instead I got locked in a fucking church basement with 20 batshit crazy adult pentecostals trying to “convert me to Christianity” for three hours and didn’t let me leave until I called the preacher an inbred, ignorant goat fucking moron for not understanding why a catholic could maybe somehow potentially be offended by the breathtaking audacity of whoever was involved in his theological education

      How the fuck would this ever have worked? Even one time? To quote Tucker Carlson, “What, is going on?”

    I hate how an unwinnable argument over the cause of a single horrific bombing took over mainstream discourse when there’s countless objective atrocities by Israel. It’s distracting from everything else and genocidal fucks must love that.

    I went to /r/worldnews just to see if this report or anything similar was anywhere to be seen. Absolutely not. In fact, I couldn’t find a single story that showed any kind of sympathy towards Palestine. Those, I found only when I sorted by controversial.

    This video analysis seems pretty definitive.

    Not that I believed the propaganda at any point, but yesterday morning I was feeling a bit unsure about having definitive thoughts on this, given my expectations initially about what an area hit by a missile would look like.

    So I think today we’ll see the tide turn against the propaganda similar to how it did with the beheaded babies. But with this, Genocide Joe has already doubled and tripled down on his position, so now it’s gonna be what Americans believe (because a lot of them want to believe it). “Chinese spy balloon” all over again.

    I was arguing with someone on Facebook who relayed that Israel is now floating the “theory” that the hospital was used a munitions stockpile

    And this fucking dipshit swallowed it hook line and sinker

      I wish I could regain the innocence of being just another liberal moron. Feeling your long term memory and pattern recognition being born anew each and every time fucking you wake up must be really soothing.

        It’s like reading the cursed tomes and gaining the ability to see the all-consuming ghoul god hovering in the sky. Like “well, I’m not confused anymore but knowing is arguablly worse.”

          Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.

    The Israeli government approves an emergency regulation to close broadcast stations that it believes “harm the security of the state.”

      Funny how every Western freedom evaporates the moment it becomes even mildly inconvenient for the state

      Checks and balances? You can just wave your hands and go “umm EMERGENCY” and they all disappear

      If necessary, we will deport all Hamas supporters from the country.

      I have to appease the racist AfD voters, so we’re going to deport a bunch of Turkish people.

    What a surprise. A genocidal country did genocidal shit. Even Hasan was talki g about how the blast crater was small so maybe it wasn’t Israel but I guess he isn’t some random loser online and has to be more balanced in what he says

    Dumb question time, for all of the explosions shown in their video footage, not just at the hospital, nome show rockets in the air first. They be going to fast to be seen?

      Not clear what the munitions were, but many types are guided bombs or shells, which don’t have any propellant of their own, just fins for aerodynamic control.
