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.

Several years of record inflation, Russians are trying to take over the world, Israel and Palestinians engaged in the worst fighting we’ve seen in decades, and the US Embassy in Beirut is at risk. Who ordered 1983?

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"

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.

[jon-nyc]

Um, he evacuated the Marines, IIRC.

[Renauda]

Then he moved the mountains back..

Joe on the way in.

Number one tracked I wonder why.

Not AF1. Just the eyes all around to keep the banditos away.

Lots of evidence that the hospital event was not an IDF strike.

No impact crater.
Tass video shows building remarkably intact - other than shattered glass.

IDF has released audio of the convo allegedly by jihadi forces talking about how it was one of theirs.

The timing is...suspicious. Hamas releases statement that they're launching rockets into Israel, and the hit occurs 10 minutes later.

Yes, but there are a few issues.

1. An Israeli SPOX almost immediately announced that the IDF had launched an attack on a hospital that was being used as a cover by Hamas. Now, it’s very possible that in the confusion of the moment Israeli officials were confused and went into CYA mode, but it doesn’t help the current situation.

2. The initial video posted by the IDF would appear to be from an event in 2021. The IDF has now removed that video.

Ultimately, I don’t believe the needle has been moved an iota in terms of public sentiment and support.
