What is your basis for the notion that the hospital complex was “bombed?” I see you guys casually throwing that word around and I’m not really seeing anything to support that sort of choice of wording.
What do you mean by “bombed?”
Exactly which hospital buildings do you claim are ruined smoking piles of rubble now?
The following summary is quite friendly to the Palestinian point of view to the extent there’s a flag on the article.

And all I’m seeing here is there was heavy fighting to gain access to the hospital complex (against those Hamas fighters who supposedly were never ever there). And several “projectiles,” some of which were apparently Israeli, struck buildings and caused a handful of casualties. 7-14 dead, depending on who you ask. In a complex where there were allegedly 50 000 people.
That doesn’t seem to line up to the notion the place was intentionally “bombed,” does it?
Lol. Who is taking a side? I’m not taking your side is what you mean to say. Let’s be honest here.
So here’s the reality. I don’t know if you ever found yourself in a stats course. In stats there is something called hypothesis testing. You’re doing research, and you’re trying to prove something happened and that your evidence is not just random chance.
So you have a null hypothesis. “Nothing to see here.”
And then there is an alternate hypothesis. There is something to see here.
You can have a general alternate hypothesis, which is basically, it’s not true that nothing is happening here.
Or you can have a specific alternate hypothesis. This specific story is happening here.
So in this case, one alternate hypothesis is that there was a Hamas command and control center there, or even the main one. Does the evidence prove that? I don’t know. There’s some ambiguity.
But what we can say with confidence is that the null hypothesis of Hamas, that Hamas never had an active presence there. Is that likely based on the evidence? No. That is absolutely not believable, given the resistance faced on taking the hospital and based on the weapons found inside it.
So whether or not Israel is exaggerating the meaning of what they found, they did find evidence of Hamas being there. Hamas was clearly lying.
So again, why does that not impact your perceptions of the situation? Why does that not prompt some reflection?
I like telling stupid people they’re wrong. It’s a guilty pleasure I’m trying, God willing, to wean myself off of.
