President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Palestinians lie, and the world blames Jews, then the world targets Jews, and when the truth finally comes out, no one apologizes, the hurt and blood cannot be rescinded, because “The Jews deserved it anyway”

      I’ve seen more people blaming muslim/palestine for this war and say they deserved it than people blaming jews instead of the zionist for causing this war. You all really like to use jew as a criticism shield don’t you.

        Have you been on the internet in the past week? Sure politicians and newspapers are generally more towards that kind of statement but Lemmy and Twitter are basically flooded with solidarity with Palestine and yesterday I saw multiple threads about this incident with sources that claimed it was Israel which had people being all “of course they would do that” and if the article was about Israel denying involvement the most comments were not believing that.

        Some people started spraying stars of David on houses where Jews live in Berlin yesterday and another person threw a Molotov at a synagogue.

        There is a shitton of anti-zionist rhetoric out there which fluently merges with anti-semitism

          While i acknowledge there’s extremist out there and neo nazi joining the fray, and you should acknowledge that the call to violence by Israeli government is indirectly causing the fatal stabbing of a kid and his mother, the thing is, i don’t see anything anti-semitism on the post you’re talking? All they were doing is doubting the word of Israeli Government because they lied, lied, lied, and lied, but i never see this sort of comment hurling at all Jew, it’s only the “other side” that keep bringing jew in whenever israel is being criticised.

          Well i wouldn’t say “never”, but close.

        I don’t see Jews giving out candy and celebrating on the street when Palestinians are killed. But that’s what is happening here in Germany when Hamas kill and kidnap Israelis. Some Palestinians and their supporters celebrate this.

      The IDF has launched missiles at hospitals and schools in the past, and then claimed that they were “Hamas strongholds”.

      They have no credibility. A fact that Hamas is actively exploiting. Not that Hamas has any credibility, either.

        A fact that Hamas is actively exploiting.

        By being equally as un-trustworthy.

      I would love to see their proof that this wasn’t Israel. Israel showed footage taken 40 minutes after the attack as proof that it wasn’t them.

      What proof is the pentagon going on? The pentagon is a US military entity that is heavily involved already with promoting and disseminating Israeli propaganda. I, and many others, will not believe it until we see proof.

        Do you seriously want to see a video of a hospital full of women and children blow up? The fuck is wrong with you?

        You listen to a doctor when they recommend you something because they are professionals dedicated to their job but hypocritically reject the same kinds of information from other sources full of dedicated professionals without issues.

          The United States government is quite possibly the least trustworthy organization in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.

          The Israeli state is an active apartheid state that confines Palestinians to large ghettos and legally deprives them of their human rights. They have spent the last 70 years continually committing atrocities and war crimes against Palestinian men, women, and children. Their defense minister recently referred to Palestinians as “human animals,” and they are being led by a man who has been openly genocidal towards Palestine for the last 30 years. I literally do not trust a single word that comes from the Israeli state on absolutely anything. They have lied continuously since this conflict began and are openly racist and discriminatory towards Muslims. I have no doubt in my mind that a military that routinely shoots journalists and medical staff would bomb this hospital. They have already bombed other hospitals since this conflict began.

          There is a huge difference between the intricacies of biology and of where a fucking missile came from. They would provide proof if they had it. They have every single reason to want Israel’s name cleared. Even cropped video footage or whatever data they have. I will believe it when I see it.

            There is plenty of evidence out now.

            Its also normal for hamas to try to politicaly exploit the situation. On the other hand Israel has done things like that before, so it wouldn’t be completely out of character.

            The israeli, palestinian, russian, chinese and american governments are quite possibly the least trustworthy organizations in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.

            I am unable to rebuke your comment and only can say that it is coherent and valid.
