Hamas attacks Israel

[jon-nyc]

A failed launch by Hamas is very conceivable, an accidental hit by Israel is very conceivable, and even an intentional hit by Israel is conceivable (given that Hamas is known to use hospitals as bases).

That’s why I want to see evidence.

It would be nice if it mattered what the truth is.

All I know is that the IDF is not going to make a statement until it’s checked it through and through. It take three minutes to state something unfounded. A lot longer if you need something officially verified. I’m told the IDF spokesman will soon make a statement. But we know, the truth is irrelevant. People will decide what to believe irrespective of any official statement.

Ok official statement by IDF. The Islamic Jiahd misfired a rocket.
Also released a video.

Palestinian leader Abbas cancels meeting with Biden after hospital strike

He should follow TNCR.

Democrat Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib's latest claim about Israel has been contradicted by the country's military spokesperson.

Tlaib, a member of the progressive "Squad" of House Democrats, accused Israel of bombing a Christian hospital in the Gaza Strip and "killing 500 Palestinians," including doctors, patients, and children.

"Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that," Tlaib tweeted on Tuesday.

So should she.

So hard to discern the truth. Hamas rockets probably don’t have nearly the power to destroy a hospital. Islamic State has an interest in scuttling the regional summit.

Apparently the Israeli government removed the video from their tweet?

Who knows if this is real. But I’m seeing reports that protestors are surrounding US embassy in Beirut.

Brings back bad memories of the Beirut barracks bombing.

"The IDF spokesperson says he has a recording of a conversation between Islamic Jihad operatives that links them to the failed shooting at the hospital in Gaza. The recording is expected to be published"

@Mik said in Hamas attacks Israel:

Brings back bad memories of the Beirut barracks bombing.

At least in those days Reagan was able to move a couple mountains back and calm things down with the New Jersey parked offshore. Settled their hash in short order.

Um, he evacuated the Marines, IIRC.
