I do not know if I should upvote or downvote you, but something has to be done!
I don't know anymore either.

And all it took was a human catastrophe.
Crazy-laugh-cry
So true, its keeping me slightly more sane (less insane maybe more accurate) about the whole mess
I suspected me all along. The signs were all there.
Yeah yeah tell it to the Judge
Pack it up boys, we got him.
It was me all along??
You just didn't want to admit to yourself!
I am disgusted by my actions.
Before we start this thread can we all agree to condemn your actions?
I am ashamed of my words and deeds.
Shame!
We've been trying to reach you about your hospital's extended warranty...
Thank god I didn’t read the article.
Sorry I was hungry
Have a snickers
you're not you when you're hungry
Thanks
Man, that guy that got mad about a joke that called him dense regarding this topic is going to be pissed about this.
You have me as a reference when you apply to The Onion.
What if the real treasure is the hospitals we bombed along the way?
Ahh shit, got found out. Time to run
I KNEW IT!
Dogyote you are under arrest for crimes against humanity
Woopsie doodles

Lemme see your knee caps…
I guess I'm gonna die then
Haha! I am pacifist and I did not open the link!
Shit, they caught me!
Yeah? So? What's the big deal?
It was a parking lot fire. No hospital blew up. The propaganda has to stop.
Yeah, I don't agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza and am under no illusions that the IDF doesn't do bad things, but the evidence just doesn't back up the "hospital airstrike with 500 dead" claims. Footage shows a rocket fired from inside Gaza misfiring and landing in a parking lot next to the hospital. The geolocation of the footage has been verified. The visible damage is burned up cars in a parking lot. The actual hospital wasn't hit by anything and the damage is way more consistent with burning rocket fuel than a high explosive detonation, which would have left a massive crater where the parking lot used to be.
Genuine question - 500 people died, right? Did that actually happen, and was it a result of this?
500 would be an insane death toll even for an actual JDAM strike on a building. Currently, however, nothing indcates that this was an Israeli strike. Their bombs are massive compared to the ones Hamas is using. The parking lot which the rocket hit is barely damaged except for the damage caused by fire. If it was Israeli bomb there would be a massive crater on the ground. There is some DISTURBING NSFL FOOTAGE that seems to indicate, that there indeed was several casualties in that strike but I'd guess we're more like talking of tens, not hundreds of dead.
Oh wow, I haven't seen pictures of this until now (only clicks your first link thanks very much) but I assumed it was a parking "building" (sorry I don't know the correct English word). But this is just a parking lot.
It's almost like the footage you see whenever there is a Tesla fire
It's a lie. 500 people didn't die because of that. Propaganda.
No. The number of people dying was almost certainly smaller.
That seems so short sighted. Like why make something up that will absolutely be refuted within hours? It just makes people not trust you.
It is VERY doubtful if 500 people died even with a direct hit that leveled the building. Supposedly, from what I can tell, (from 2 sources I'm not completely sold on yet), it was an 80 bed hospital. So it would be extremely unlikely that 500 people would be there even on it's most crowded day ever.
And it appears general consensus is the rocket hit the parking lot, so casualties would be even less........
who do I turn myself into?
Its not over till it's over.
I am inevitable.
Which ones? The ones that are still trying to find Saddam's WMDs?
It's interesting how people on Lemmy don't have a problem with Hamas killing Palestinians. That's funny, apparently.
Also the spreading of the misinformation that it was supposedly Israel who bombed the hospital? It won't get corrected. And soon appear with other misinformation people repeatedly spread online.
It's not misinformation, err don't know yet and won't for years. Remember that time the Pentagon swore there were wmds? No? Cool, it's pretty well known the Pentagon will say whatever the fuck is advantageous to themselves.
Sure.
Notice the fact I bet specifically did not endorse any side let alone "go to lengths" in doing so. I actually implied no one in this conflict is trustworthy.
Oh look... somebody else that's still looking for Saddam's WMDs. How's the search going?
