starting to think the idf might not do the ground invasion. the bombings and siege are effextive at the "revenge" mission with zero risk to the idf. and now relations with the rest of the middle east are toasted anyways, plus the west has their back and sent aircraft carriers to protect them

Otoh, you cant mobilize like 400,000 people, call back thousands of citizens from overseas and build up all this rhetorix about annihilating the enemy and then NOT do a big invasion

Another thing to consider here, if we take the Palestinian rocket story at face value, we're saying the timeline is:

-Islamic Jihad fires a series of rockets
-one of them misfire, crashes into the hospital and kills a few civilians in Gaza
-Hamas ALMOST IMMEDIATELT fabricates a story that over 500 people killed in an Israeli airstrike AND gets the entire staff of the hospital to go along with this lie. Within minutes of the rocket falling, all of this is coordinated and everyone on Gaza apparently gets the same talking points

That is what Israel is trying to claim happened.

is the water back on yet or is there still a siege in preparation for a ground invasion

Hamas supersoldiers are going to turn Merkavas into pretzels, so the IDF is fighting doctors and nurses instead.

this can also go the other way since their relations are toast and the us is giving them a green light for genocide they can go in without any repurcussions

Because there aren't thousands of other dead people that no one disputes died from Israeli bombs.

I'm hoping some countering narrative can get out there, cause yeah the IDF claiming the hospital wasn't really destroyed and not that many people died is probably gonna stick among libs, and I personally find that kind of erasure of death to be extra disgusting, so would really like to see something to indicate otherwise.

As you said, I'm not sure if they can climb down. Netanyahu's career is over if he doesn't destroy Hamas entirely. The settlers want destruction, which is why many of them are going nuts in the West Bank.

Are they really saying that actually the hospital is fine and not bombed it was just the parking lot that got hit. I mean I saw the giant explosion in the video and that IDF propagandist posted a picture of a destroyed hospital hallway complete with body parts. Are they seriously gaslighting us that the hospital is untouched actually, you're just crazy and hysterical

What is the possibility of the US deploying troops into Gaza? if Bibi tells Biden "Our infantry can't take Gaza, send in your troops or we're nuking it." What's the US response?

Hamas apparently has an extensive tunnel network underground. It's not an exaggeration to say that death will be waiting around virtually every corner for the IDF infantry.

Look, Hamas, had a rocket launched from a site several km to the west fly over the hospital, break up very suddenly and loudly, and that rocket hit a gunpowder cache they conveniently left in the parking lot, which blew up the parking lot and hurt some people (but less then they said) in and around the hospital. This happened in the middle of an Israeli/American bombardment in the area and its just coincidence it resembled the pattern and size of the other nearby explosions

It did, for many years. But I don't think that's a balancing game Netenyahu can play anymore. The illusion of Israeli security from Hamas was utterly shattered on October 7th. The calculus has changed, probably permanently.

My god how pathetic is Brown Moses? This is a man who made a career accepting money from the US govt in order to "debunk" the propaganda of official US enemies like Russia, Syria, and China. He histrionically accused his opponents of being apologists for war crimes when his results were questioned. And what does he do the second a US ally starts committing actual, undeniable genocide? He starts parroting literal IDF propaganda and claims the Palestinians are actually bombing their own hospitals. What a despicable cretin. Absolute human garbage.

or would you stand outside the vehicle that brought you to the hospital, smoking a cigarette, commiserating with all the other families who share your fate?
