Is there any photographs of the damage to the hospital?

It'll be pretty freaking obvious whether it was a big beautiful American/Israeli Bomb or a 23mm rocket.

the argument they're currently going with is that a fragment of a rocket spun off and struck a huge completely full tank of oxygen or propane (both things that are almost impossible to get in bulk quantities in Gaza even if you're a hospital)

I would bet money that 9 out of 10 congressmen couldn't explain what a sanction was to you on even the most basic, rudimentary level

We have never consistently used sanctions (as in, a way that is coherent and trackable from instance to instance) and they are poorly explained to the general public; to most people, it's a thing we do to Bad Guys to show them we're Tough on Bad Guys

Sanctions are presented in media as a natural phenomenon, a feature of the Rules Based International Order where the Bad Guys get sanctioned for Breaking the Rules. Not only are they not properly explained what they are and their outcomes, it's not even presented as the deliberate policy choice that it is.

Would Hamas have access to the kind of weapon that can do the kind of damage to the hospital, as Israel is claiming happened? IDK poo poo about munitions but it seems unlikely to me

i think one claim is that the illegal hamas headquarters that is under the hospital also has a large ammo dump and thus, the stray rocket hit the ammo dump and blew up the whole building

it still doesnt make any fuckin sense because theres no Hamas rocket that can penetrate that amount of concrete to hit the underground dump. theyd have to put the ammo on the roof and its very unlikely that the army that was able to successfully train in secret and ambush the idf would fail to consider that ammo dumps on rooftops would be easily spotted

they don't have water or power and doctors are drinking IV fluids and rationing what little medicine is left but they have multiple oxygen and propane tanks that just happened go up at the exact time despite no secondary explosions.

sure okay

Israel's story keeps getting more convoluted and less believable rather than "they bombed a hospital" considering they were saying "we bombed a hospital" this morning.

im rating the response to the massacre as Fake and Gay and the only thing that will elevate it now is the news that a state of war exists between the republic of turkiye, the syrian arab republic, the republic of lebanon, the hashemite kingdom of jordan, the kingdom of saudi arabia, the state of qatar, the kingdom of bahrain, the sultanate of oman, the republic of yemen, the republic of iraq, the state of kuwait, the islamic republic of iran, the islamic emirate of afghanistan, the arab republic of egypt, the state of libya, the republic of tunisia, the people's democratic republic of algeria, the kingdom of morrocco et al and the state of israel

So was that video that was getting passed around earlier of a rocket screaming like a goddamn banshee not actually from today? The one that was used in the JDAM comparison video?

I don't know much about rockets or whatever but surely that's not what a fragment of loose debris would sound like.

An interesting side effect of this is that the average american is completely unable to distinguish the difference between effective and ineffective sanctions, so if you're in a party in power and you don't actually want to sanction somebody, you can just sanction an industry they don't have and don't participate in and act like you're taking tough action when you're actually doing dick all
