The Hamas-run Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip says at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.
Updated: Israel denies involvement in deadly Gaza hospital blast, says explosion caused by Islamic Jihad
what frigging difference does it even make, it’s all caused by this idiotic conflict.
it makes a big difference because if (FUCKING IF) this was a missile strike from Israel (very much not looking like the case), this gives the rest of us a more powerful lever to apply pressure on Israel. Biden has already forced them to allow aid to Gaza, but we can do more. NetanYAHOO is a fucking war criminal but he ain’t Putin (yet), I don’t see him thumbing his nose to the Hague and continue to cheer on more war crimes.
That’s why this is so important, if this truly was a missile strike on a hospital, it is direct escalation that 100% indefensible, and will also give more legitimacy to progressive Jews everywhere that are condemning this war.
I think what is left out these days is nuance and a judgement of individual actions. Hamas is a horror show, hands down. Israel has a horrific expansionist agenda. It’s not clean and neat. We don’t need to cheer a side on all occasions. Let’s condemn atrocities and organisations with atrocious actions actions (Hamas and Israel) and push for fair and equitable outcomes for the innocent citizens on both sides.
