Hi Mavs,

Thanks for the detailed material from a reliable source, a well presented argument. The hostages are, and have always been an excuse for Israel to launch an ethnic cleansing operation against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Even the United States, a country not averse to killing civilians in third world countries when the opportunity arises, is becoming increasingly nerves as world opinion, horrified at the mass murder of civilians in Gaza, shifts away from Israel and in favour of the Palestinian people.

This has to be the chuckle of the week; "I have allowed this post, but it appears to be propaganda". This site is full of propaganda.

Gazans have a Hitler Youth approach to bringing up their children, but at least they have the ambition of exterminating the Zionists, which seems to be an acceptable form of hatred and antisemitism for some on OLO.

"A flood of false information, partisan narratives, and
weaponized "fact-checking," has obscured who was responsible
for the explosion at a hospital in Gaza. Israel's claims
could not be verified."

Maybe for a Jew hater that is the case, but for more objective people the Wall Street Journal conducted an analysis that seemed quite conclusive.

Fester,

What's with the name-calling?

It shows that's all you've got. Poor show.

You've got the Wall ?Street Journal. I've got the
New York Times, Reuters, Washington Post, The Israel Times,
and so many others.

You're welcome.

"Maybe for a Jew hater that is the case, but for more objective people the Wall Street Journal conducted an analysis that seemed quite conclusive."

You have to understand, Fester, that, even though the evidence that the hospital carpark was hit by a failed Hamas rocket is conclusive and accepted by pretty much all the experts in the field, for some the idea of blaming the evil Jews is just too attractive to let mere facts get in the way.

"The strikes hit specifically PROTECTED LOCATIONS, including hospitals, markets, refugee camps, mosques, educational facilities, and entire neighbourhoods."

Any site that is nominally protected, losses that protection when it is used by defenders for military purposes. A hospital that is used to store munitions or which has command centres in tunnels below it, ceases to be a protected site under international law. A religious building from which fighters are shooting similarly losses protection under international law. This is, of course, why Hamas uses hospitals, schools, mosques and residences to hide its 'warriors', munitions depots and command centres. Either they escape attack due to pieties about the law or, if attacked, are used by partisans for propaganda purposes.

The explosion at the car park of Al-Ahli Arab hospital
in Gaza City, the exact cause of the blast is still
contested.
