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.

Israel can also reverse its decision to call a bunch of secular groups “terrorist organizations,” follow WHO recommendations, follow UN recommendations, turn food on in Gaza, start shipping water to Gaza, start providing electricity to Gaza, cease gunning down people in Gaza, stop blocking people from Gaza from leaving to Egypt, allow a UN investigatory force into the country to determine whether they were committing war crimes, allow neutral peacekeepers to mediate the violence between them and Gaza, have them accept massive sanctions if they kill even another Palestinian, demand an immediate rollback of all West Bank settlements, remove the ethnonationalist language from their laws, stop discriminating based on religion on their “right to return” policies, extend all rights that they give to Jews to everyone else in the West Bank and Gaza, pay reparations to everyone they have harmed in the West Bank and Gaza, publicly apologize for all extremist language used during and leading up to their terrorist attack on Gaza, military tribunals for all IDF soldiers found attacking unarmed Palestinians, etc.
Hey finally someone who wants to talk actual actions! And I agree with most of your points!
uhhh is this the case? My understanding was the passage from Gaza to Egypt was blocked by Gaza. Hard to find details though, I could be mistaken.
I’m all for Israel being held to the rule of law. I’m also all for Hamas being held to the same structures.
Well if there’s just one thing wrong in my wall of text, so be it. Googling around, it looks like Egypt is the group that doesn’t want the Rafah crossing opened, because they don’t want Palestinians settling permanently in their land. And Israel has been bombing the crossing and the migrants at it.
Concentrating Palestinians who were already in one of the most densely populated areas of the world into what, half their original land mass, is pretty genocidal on its own. Maybe just no longer doing the genocide. They could stop.
