I mean since everyone else is throwing out theories based on some grainy rear end videos I might as well too. How do we know Hamas didnt blow up the hospital? Maybe they stuffed a shitload of explosives in a tunnel underneath it? By the way, I'm not in any way supportive of Israel I think they are guilty of genocide before anyone goes and says I'm some Israel supporter.

So now they're not even saying it was a rocket, but DEBRIS from a rocket that exploded in mid-air? And then landed, presumably through a window, INSIDE the hospital and hit some conveniently placed stash of explosives and ammunition and blew them up, and that caused a strong enough blast to demolish the building in one, big, singular explosion with no secondaries? Am I getting it all right?

"You don't know that's the explosion that destroyed the hospital"

It's almost always impossible to prove things to these people if they don't want to believe it. They can simply say that the video evidence isn't depicting the correct thing. You would need the Washington Post to post the video in question and explicitly say "this is a video of the hospital being destroyed" to get them to believe it.

That self-selection bit is key, agreed. You could very well say I'm only an American because my mom didn't want to have kids if they'd be conscripted to serve in the occupation.

Just a qualify it a little bit more, there are people in Israel I'm sure who are not like this. It is a big deal to pick up your whole life and move to a completely different country if you lived in Israel your whole life and for whatever reason the indoctrination didn't stick but they are a shrinking minority based on what I'm seeing on social media and videos like this.

it's the same as liberals anywhere else. they see an admission of the injustice their society is built on as an existential threat to their way of life, and will accordingly believe anything that allows them to continue to ignore/deny that injustice.

I have been very surprised at the response the atrocious escalations from Israel has received domestically in US. Sure the bourgeois media line is all the same 51st state trash, but on the ground, in my city, there are still rallies being organized and attended over a week+ now, with newer events drawing larger crowds. And trade unions have signed on in endorsement, distributing language to get their bosses to drop Israeli investments from pensions, simple calls for solidarity with Palestinian struggle, etc.

It's remarkable. BLM was the last time this kind of momentum existed but for an international cause it's very heart warming. Plus I think the trade union engagement basically didnt exist during BLM (although I'd be happy to see evidence to the contrary, this is just off my memory from that period).

The US left has no organized, mass political organ to do much with this sentiment but it is also, at the same time, basically a different world than just 2 years ago. Let alone the 10, 20, 40, 75 before that. And I hope more people take this international solidarity to heart, grapple with the realities of anticolonial struggle against US empire and also see how organized labor can potentially advance demands beyond the level of street protest.

Most Hamas members live in Gaza and the people there are their friends and family. That they would intentionally blow up a hospital and kill many of their own people sounds insane to me. Especially to score a propaganda point. I mean to believe that I would need mountains of evidence.

Hamas members go on a crazy rampage inside Israel that they know is going to lead to 10 times more Palestinians getting killed and they do it anyway.

Yeah all that said, I believe that these people have values that are fundamentally incompatible with mine. Not only do they believe in supernatural justifications for atrocities and apartheid, but I believe that egalitarian worldview is non-negotiable. Nobody should be treated differently or stereotyped or profiled based on accidents of birth. Nobody should be born stateless or kept in a refugee camp for decades with no meaningful path forward. No country should be a single ethnicity ethnostate let alone a theocracy. That guy who was saying that Jews and Arabs shouldn't be allowed to marry. It's gross. We're all humans. No one is better than anyone else. There is no chosen people. For one, God isn't real. But even if he was real, any creator of the universe worthy of worship would not single out one people on one planet to have special privileges and lord them over everyone else.

They happened to find a video of a small explosion in the sky occurring right before a very big explosion on the ground and said "gently caress it, go with this, it's the best "evidence" we'll get". dti.

ok, I thought there was a standard that statements like "Hamas could have blown up the Hospital in Gaza" without any supporting evidence constituted a form of genocide denial and was an automatic perma.

**like so far as I'm aware absolutely nobody (even the most rabid zionist media) is claiming at this point that Hamas loaded up the hospital with explosives and lit the fuse to make Israel look bad..
