“Mr Biden was later asked by reporters what led him to conclude that Israel was not responsible, and said: ‘The data I was shown by my defence department.’”
“A senior US official has told CBS, the BBC’s US partner, that the US has its own intelligence – in addition to Israel’s – that includes communications intercepts and satellite photos which gives it ‘high confidence’ Israel was not behind the strike.”
“The official said there were ‘indications’ that it was an errant rocket fired by a group in Gaza.”
If Israel wanted to blow it up they would have done it last week. They have the best guided munitions in the world. Hamas has been doing nothing but trying to kill as many Palestinians as possible, seems like this is just a continuation of that

i dont like Biden but i think he handled this particular incident well (besides the “other team” language)
At this point, we can all agree that there is enough footage to convince us that it was a misfired rocket from Gaza.
Awful headline. Biden backs facts is more like it
I.e, the truth.
Absolutely reprehensible attempt at propaganda by Hamas.
They fuck up and the first thought they have is to tell their buddies at Al Jazeera to run a story with the headline “ISRAELI AIR STRIKE KILLS 500+ PALESTINIANS AT A HOSPITAL”, before even checking to see if everyone was ok.
Hamas meeting right now:
“ Guys, 500 dead was probably too much. I told you 200 was enough!”
According to some sources, it appears the casualties aren’t more than a few dozens
There’s one account and one bucket of horse manure. The only reason to pick the latter is that you have some major beef with Israel.
r/news awfully quiet right now.
100% Israel bombed the hospital. Who else is bombing Gaza?
Any proof yet Israel didn’t ?
Yeah. Because it’s the only account with any evidence to support it.
Of course it was Hamas. Who would benefit? Certainly not Israel on the eve of President Biden’s visit. Certainly Hamas, in order to disrupt The Presidents visit.And it worked. The meeting with him and Jordan was cancelled.
The amount of downvotes I got yesterday for suggesting that maybe the IDF wasn’t responsible and waiting for verifiable information might be a good idea was impressive.
Even if Israel did it, it would be the same answer.
Yeah, maybe they didn’t bomb that hospital, but let’s not forget about the time they bombed a hospital on gaza and killed 500 people.
BBC has blood on its hands from the way they’ve reported this
The funny thing about all this is that if Israel actually did it and there was proof, you think the US would be condemning them? Hell no. This is all about controlling the narrative
Biden backs the factual findings of US intelligence agencies. Reality takes no sides.
If you are coming to any conclusion immediately, in the absence of evidence, even if you turn out to be closer to right than wrong, you did not get there rationally. You have degraded the conversation and contributed to the a-factual, irrational screaming match.
Shut up, wait for facts, stop jumping to conclusions one way or the other. To do anything else is to be an enemy to effective, practical responses.
The most responsible thing to say in a situation like the last couple days is “I don’t know and I am going to wait for further information.”
Which is what the administration did. They focused on the harm done first, and refrained from making statements about the perpetrators until they actually had information about it.
A small glimmer of sanity, but it’s not an account, it’s the damn truth.
The Al-Ahli Diagnostic Center was built by a generous gift by the United States (USAID) according to the sign at its entrance (as viewed in Google Maps).
I basically think everyone that might know something should be rounded up, put in front of a camera, and told to talk and give names until we find out what’s going on.
You’re telling me that a terrorist organization whose only purpose in life is to hurt, kill and cause fear amongst people didn’t put out correct information and instead targeted Israel knowing that they will get fausly blamed for it? I’m shocked, shocked 😲 I tell you! Who would’ve thought that untested rockets made from water pipes would end up failing, especially when mordern rockets with engineers backing them up still have a failure rate.
This the same Biden that said he saw pictures of those 40 babies but actually he didn’t? But this time guys, this time!
Even after POTUS and NSC publicly released statements saying Israel wasn’t responsible for the blast, a very high-profile member of Congress attended a “ceasefire” rally today in D.C., literally crying as she accused IDF of intentionally bombing a hospital.
Insanity.
Anyone know why this isn’t on r/news ? Bc they were printing posts about how “Israel destroyed a hospital” but now crickets?

Just be honest and let people decide.
Ilhan Omar should resign, what a piece of shit
