President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

        I have no idea what you’re asking. Yes I would love if people stopped this madness and gave palestinians their homeland back. what does that have to do with facing the facts of one tragedy? friendly fire happens.

      My dude, HAMAS rockets are barely capable of doing property damage, let alone killing hundreds of people. You expect me to believe that one of these things broke apart mid flight in the perfect fucking way to strike at the fuel supply and set it off in the middle of a huge building full of people? That this practically Rube Goldbergian chain of events is the more likely explanation? One of us is definitely spreading misinformation here but I don’t think it’s me.

        When they’re firing thousands of these things? I think it’s possible.

        I don’t have a dog in this fight. It’s a religious war that will go on until long past my years here.

        if you look at the images there is hardly any property damage. there is no crater. there are a few busted windows and some charred cars. not an expert but it wasnt some kind of WMD. and im not entirely sold on the 500 mark either.

        its not gymnastics. israel is flattening gaza with bombs and has attacked “safe” escape routes. im not denying that. but hamas also has awful equipment and little military training, misfires are expected.

        I think it’s at least as plausible an explanation as Israel deciding to piss away the most goodwill it’s had in decades by bombing a hospital parking lot for absolutely no reason other than to kill some civilians.

      They don’t have the money for quality weapons

      Please think about this statement like, at all.

      You think shitty weapons can blow up a hospital in one strike? Because of gas? You know movies aren’t real, right? Don’t be a dipshit.

      Edit: Israel dropped more munitions on Gaza than America did in Afghanistan over an entire year. Afghanistan is 1788 times as large as Gaza. Anyone who thinks this wasn’t Israel is a fucking moron.

        are you operating on day old intelligence? the hospital is still standing, it hit a parking lot.

                  Sure, that’s why you’re crafting bullshit on the face of them apologisms for them bombing a fucking hospital, and palling around with Nazi Hasbara spewing brigades. You’re either one of them or a useful fucking idiot.

                    what did you want me to name this, israelrocks2012? i literally made this account solely so i could anonymously express my anger and frustration.

                    like are you nuts? israel is flattening most of palestine. they have bombed multiple hospitals, they have killed hundreds of doctors, nurses, whatever. they bomb schools, they bomb weddings, they bomb shelters, they bomb escape routes. they kill thousands of palestinians a year even if they are peacefully protesting. they most likely didnt do this one. thats literally all im saying.

            You just have a permanent hateboner against Israel - so hard, that you reject facts. everyone besides you sees that

              Oh look it’s the Nazi. I’m sure it’s a coincidence that the fediverse is overwhelmingly on the side of the Palestinians but you dipshits always manage to get in a good round of downvotes and misinformation in immediately.

              Hasbara, much? You fascist fuckers are so obvious.

                Bro go take a walk and calm down. I don’t care what you believe regarding the attack, but like half the western world supports Israel after the last Hamas attacks, so you saying that anybody who even slightly disagrees with you must be a paid shill or a nazi is nothing more than the “everybody I disagree with is a nazi” stereotype.
