US weapons expert debunks Israel’s denial of Gaza hospital strike Speaking to MEMO, weapons expert and US Army veteran Dylan Griffith challenged Israel's claim that it was a Palestinian 'misfired rocket' and not the Israeli military that struck the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on 17 October 2023, killing over 500 Palestinian civilians. Griffith examines the available visual evidence to refute Israel's version of events, which has now been endorsed by US President Joe Biden. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/2...bunks-israels-denial-of-gaza-hospital-strike/
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...ive-decisions-in-israel-hamas-war/ar-AA1itx1W Josh Paul, a director in the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, wrote in a note published online on Wednesday that the administration of President Joe Biden was repeating the same mistakes Washington has been making for decades. “The response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people,” he wrote. “I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer,” he said, adding that the Biden administration’s “blind support for one side” was leading to policy decisions that were “shortsighted, destructive, unjust and contradictory to the very values we publicly espouse”. “I knew it was not without its moral complexity and moral compromises, and I made myself a promise that I would stay for as long as I felt the harm I might do could be outweighed by the good I could do,” wrote Paul
Here you go ... https://www.indiatoday.in/world/sto...attacked-the-gaza-hospital-2450709-2023-10-18 The hospital was not directly hit, and the fire in the parking lot was not caused by a missile strike because there is no crater.
This video by a self-proclaimed "U.S. weapons expert" is less than convincing. In fact it is quite laughable. His claims that the missile that struck the hospital in Gaza is from the U.S. because it sounds like a JDAM and due to the large size of the warhead explosion --- can easily be refuted by simply watching videos of Hamas missiles striking Israel. The larger Hamas missiles striking Israel have a similar sound and have a sizeable warhead explosions. The other thing to note is that the missile struck the hospital parking lot and the leftover fuel (after mere seconds of flight) caused a large fire and incinerated nearly everything in the parking lot. Shrapnel from the missile penetrated the hospital and can be seen in photos and videos. However the hospital walls are still intact. Futhermore, a JDAM bomb would not have fuel incinerating cars. Nor would it land in a parking lot without creating a huge crater (because the JDAM is designed to take down buildings). Nor would a JDAM be likely to miss its target and land in the parking lot next to it. Many people were taking shelter in the parking lot or outside the hospital -- leading to the high civilian casualty count.
This 500 patients of a hospital thing seems to be completely bullshit, doesn't it? I mean, there's plenty of evidence that is showing it was a Hamas rocket, and no 500 people were killed. Looks like it hit a parking lot.
I thought the kind & benevolent Hamas stated the hostages were safe and they planned to exchange them for Hamas terrorists held in Israeli prisons. Reality: Hamas keeps butchering the hostages. Kidnapped 80-year-old Israeli-American and her teenage granddaughter found dead, family says https://www.cnn.com/webview/middlee...s-10-19-23/h_7730bc4715223b11ddc63d0221c01b12 An 80-year-old Israeli-American and her 13-year-old granddaughter, who were both kidnapped by Hamas militants from their kibbutz on October 7, have been found dead, the family told CNN on Thursday. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the deaths of Carmela Dan and Noya Dan to family on Wednesday, according to Jason Greenberg, a relative who lives in Massachusetts. “Their bodies are being returned to their families for burial at this moment,” he said. Carmela Dan had Israeli, US and French citizenship. Her granddaughter, Noya Dan, was an Israeli citizen. The spokesperson of another family member also posted about the deaths on Facebook. The news comes more than a week after five members of the family were kidnapped from their home in Nir Oz, a kibbutz in southern Israel just a few miles from the border with Gaza. Greenberg previously told CNN there had been a flurry of text messages from the family members saying they were hiding in a safe room and had heard gunfire and smelled smoke. One last message read: “We hear them. They’re coming.” The family’s house was set ablaze and they were taken hostage, according to Greenberg. Three other family members, all Israeli citizens, are still missing: Noya's siblings Erez Kalderon, 12, and Sahar Kalderon, 16, and their father Ofer Kalderon, 50. The Hamas attacks killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, officials have said.
Israel police boss threatens to send anti-war protesters to Gaza ‘on buses’ Kobi Shabtai says there will be ‘zero tolerance’ for protests in support of Gaza in Israel. Israel's police chief Kobi Shabtai attends a weekly cabinet meeting [File: Gil Cohen-Magen/Pool via Reuters] By Al Jazeera Staff Published On 19 Oct 202319 Oct 2023 https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023...-to-send-anti-war-protesters-to-gaza-on-buses Israel’s police chief, Kobi Shabtai, has said there will be “zero tolerance” for protests in support of Gaza in Israel, threatening to send anti-war demonstrators to the besieged Palestinian enclave that Israel has been bombarding daily for nearly two weeks. Shabtai’s comments came in a video posted on the TikTok channel of the Israeli police on Tuesday. Israeli media picked it up on Wednesday after police broke up a rally in Haifa in support of Gaza, arresting six people. “Whoever wants to become an Israeli citizen, welcome,” Shabtai said. “Anyone who wants to identify with Gaza is welcome. I will put him on the buses heading there now.” In the short video, Shabtai also said there would be “zero tolerance for any instance of incitement … there will be no authorisation for protests”. He said that Israel is “in a state of war … we’re not in a situation where we will allow all sorts of people to come and test us”. Israel Police spokesman Eli Levy told Army Radio on Wednesday that since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, 63 people in Israel have been arrested on suspicion of supporting or inciting “terror”. Police officials told the Ynet news site on Wednesday that they are scouring social media to find Palestinians in Israel who were expressing support for Hamas, the group running the besieged Gaza Strip. Israel has imposed a “complete siege” on Gaza, cutting off access to food, water, electricity and fuel for the strip’s 2.3 million residents after Gaza-based Hamas fighters launched an attack into southern Israel on October 7. Israeli authorities say at least 1,400 people, most of them civilians, were killed in the attack, more than 4,400 were injured and 199 others were taken captive by Hamas. Since the attack, Israel has bombarded Gaza from the air in a devastating campaign that has reduced entire neighourhoods to rubble. Palestinian authorities have said that more than 3,400 people have been killed and more than 12,000 others wounded in the Israeli assault. “After Operation Guardian of the Walls [the 2021 war with Gaza, which saw many Arab-Jewish clashes in mixed towns], we learned our lesson, and established a ‘war room’ to counter such incitement,” said Assistant Commissioner Dror Asraf. “[Today, the operation] identifies online incitement or planning or any operational information that we identify on all the platforms, which has a goal of disrupting public order and harming others.” Meanwhile, the ethics panel of the Israeli parliament has voted to suspend a left-wing parliament member, Ofer Cassif, for what it deemed as anti-Israel statements after the war broke out. Cassif had given an interview in which he accused the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of enacting a plan in Gaza, which he compared with the Nazis’ “Final Solution” against Jews in Europe. On another occasion, he told foreign media that “Israel wanted this violence”, in reference to the Hamas attack. According to the Jerusalem Post, Cassif has been suspended for 45 days. In a social media post published on Wednesday, Cassif called the Knesset’s decision “another nail in the coffin of freedom of political expression”. “In each of my interviews, I emphasised my complete condemnation and deep disgust for the criminal massacres by Hamas. The political statements against the occupation and the war are not statements against Israel, since peace and justice also serve it and its inhabitants,” he said.
these reports drive me up the fucking wall. Were they reported missing and suspected of kidnapping and later confirmed as kidnapped? Were they found dead blocks away from their home? Did the terrorists dump their bodies off at the border.....JFC, media deserves all the skepticism they get. What were the conditions by which their bodies were found/are being returned to make the claim of "hostages killed" days after the initial attack?
