U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas and backing its account that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital had been caused by militants.
The fireball that engulfed the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital delivered some of the most harrowing images yet from a 12-day war, and wrecked White House plans for Biden’s emergency diplomatic mission to the Middle East, with Arab leaders calling off their planned summit with the U.S. president.
Palestinian officials blamed an Israeli air strike for the blast, which it said had killed as many as 500 people. Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, which denied blame.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
And by saying that you have already made it clear that you just view the dead as a tool. In your moral high ground, you make it clear that their death only had meaning if it means you can blame the IDF for it. Which was the “shallow” argument being made.
Believe it or not: you don’t have to have a take or choose a side on every single thing that happens in the world. And you can also wait a day or two until more information is known.
Or you can just shit on the memory of dead civilians unless they support your narrative. Works pretty well for the IDF and Hamas.
Youre an idiot, bud.
Proof of an israeli war crime would cause a global loss of support for israel. It would very likely stop israels nonstop bombing of gaza.
Knowing if israel is at fault or not is the difference between another round of deaths via horrid explosion.
If Israel did it, I think we’ll see several Western powers condemn it and stop their support. It’s uncertain what the US would do since we currently have a non functional legislative branch.
If it’s a failed Hamas attack, I think we may see Arab countries get involved to take them out, which should hopefully translate to more safety for the Palestinians. Alternatively, criticism of Israel sharply decreases, and they use that to strike even more with impunity:/.
It really isn’t. The IDF have been committing crimes against humanity for decades. Just like Hamas has been committing acts of terror. And the fact that EVERYONE stops caring once evidence suggests the IDF didn’t drop the bomb sums it up.
IDF did the bombing? Everyone condemns them. And we continue to stay “hands off” during this genocide Hamas did the bombing? They only commit acts of terror because Israel forced them to Third party did? They only commit acts of terror because Israel forced them to
Because, again, you make it abundantly clear that you don’t give a shit about anyone who died. You only care that you can use this to support your political views. And that is disgusting.
If israel didnt do it, and it was an accidental jihad explosion, its another “maybe war crime, maybe excusable accident” situation, and no one will step in to stop the bombings.
My angle is literally, explicitly, to stop anyone else from dying.
