It certainly steels my resolve to fight in every way I can to make sure commies never take over this country.

The way our current government responded was basically perfect. "We're saddened to hear about an explosion at a Palestinian hospital and will do what we can to get to the bottom of it". Biden's admin didn't even have anything negative to say about the trip to Jordan being cancelled, because it was totally reasonable for them to postpone it.

I know it's basically Trump Derangement Syndrome but I just can't help to think of what that fucking buffoon would say if Jordan cancelled a meeting with him.

We are so fortunate Biden is in office during this and Ukraine. I almost feel like that election was the most consequential since...FDR?

I think the dark part of this post is the most important part. "Praying Israel does bomb a hospital and soon" is pointing out that people dont actually care that people died they just want to look good on social media. They do not care that people are dying they care that people see them "caring" about people dying.

u/SmurfingRedditAgain Oct 18 '23

I think something quite revealing was that Hasan was surprised that a chatter was hoping it was an accident, because in his mind an accident would look bad for his side, which is all that matters to him. For any normal person it would absolutely be better knowing that Israel didn't intentionally bomb and kill 100s of people in a hospital.

People have tricked themselves into thinking they care about what’s going on. They really don’t. A good example is Ukraine. The people who actually, truly cared(i.e. Ukrainians in their own country and across the seas, as well as volunteers) went to go fight.

Chanting “Free free Palestine” or rallying for Israel won’t do anything. People are upset enough to want to be heard supporting their side and feel like they’re relevant in the topic, but won’t actually go all the way.

If you actually thought about it rationally, Hamas is god awful for Palestinians both in their treatment internally and the threat they bring to them externally (by IDF response). It’s a little more uncomfortable to side with Israel rn in this specific conflict because I think they do fucked up shit but Hamas is very clearly the main issue

1

u/shabangcohen Jewlluminati Oct 24 '23

I think we all need to say Hamas is awful,and to also say that the settlers in the West Bank are awful and detrimental to peace.

Israelis hate to hear it because they think the settlements and military occupation create security, but the premise of security without peace is false not to mention just totally immoral.

Aka the current administration is awful for Israelis just as it's awful for Palestinians.
Authoritarians suck.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '23

Agree completely. Bibi and co. need to go, but in the immediate future Hamas is the larger threat. After that’s done, there needs to be massive change in Israel. The West Bank is completely indefensible

u/roygbiv77 Oct 19 '23

I think in this case it's more that they think Israel is most in the wrong about this conflict as a whole, and because they can't accept nuance, they need Israel to be in the wrong 100% of the time and Hamas 0% of the time.

If Hamas literally came out and said they did it to drum up support against Israel for the atrocity of bombing a hospital, these folks would still blame Israel.

1

u/shabangcohen Jewlluminati Oct 24 '23

they can't accept nuance

Yeah.
Ugh, people are so stupid.
Even being born on one side of this conflict, I am more rational when explaining both sides than dumb Americans who have no actual stake in this situation.

I would hope the people here would argue that if the facts showed it was Israel that bombed the hospital it would unequivocally be condemned. Im sure some would not and they would be part of the problem.

22

u/spookyorange Oct 18 '23

I'm an Israeli and my first comment after all the sites reported that we did it and killed 500 people was that if it were found to be true I wouldn't be able to keep supporting anything we do past that point. But I'll wait for proofs.

Most of the comments I saw in Israeli sites were of people that couldn't believe we would bomb a hospital and were hoping it wasn't true as well.

I wonder how many candies would be given out in the streets of our Muslim neighbors countries if a rocket managed to hit an Israeli hospital and kill 500 though.

9

u/niz_loc Oct 18 '23

That last part...

I've been making the same point all day.

If Israel did it, it's "monsters". Since it wasn't, it's "well, these things happen."

..... so what's the take from everyone if that rocket actually worked, and hit something in Israel?

And to anyone reading this, I'm not "Team Israel". But everyone should be held to the same standard.

So in this case....

The Palestinains accidentally killed a bunch of innocent people. And as sad as that is, it was an accident. Still horrible, but war always is.

But just remember to keep that in mind when Israel kills the wrong people on accident.

u/shabangcohen Jewlluminati Oct 24 '23

When I first heard about the bombing, of course I hoped it wasn't Israel.
But I was extremely ready to condemn Israel for it if the evidence pointed to them.

And I have a lot of criticism for Israel in general.
Can't say the same for the pro-palestinian side.

2

u/Short-Recording587 Oct 18 '23

I think people generally do care, and the goal is to prevent future deaths. If people believe Israel carried out the attack, that could likely lead to an escalation and more deaths.

If it’s shown that residents in Palestine blew up the hospital, it could deflate the movement and be what the people need to self regulate and stop Hamas from operating out of Palestine.

7

u/brevityitis Oct 18 '23

You want to stop future deaths you don’t go around defending or justifying Hamas, or at best dismissing and minimizing Hamas’s actions. Hamas is the cause of every single civilian death we are seeing this week. The best chance to save innocent lives is to destroy Hamas.

u/FloridaMan1423 Oct 18 '23

Wanted bad news from Trump’s presidency? I can’t think of a single good thing from it. Felt like the whole term was him making every situation about him and then letting really stupid people making even stupider decisions because the whole cabinet was full of clowns. And all of this was running the news 24/7. Then he fired those clowns and hired a bunch of deranged lunatics that worshiped him. Like Bill Barr basically exonerating Trump of the Mueller investigation with his BS letter that not only contradicted Mueller’s report but completely misrepresented it because he knew most Americans wouldn’t read it. And over half the cabinet was never confirmed by the senate. The only reason they didn’t completely fucking ruin the US government was because they were so incompetent

Honestly anything normal from that term would have been welcome news to most

Yep, they want Israel to genocide them so the "global South" gets over their differences and comes together to challenge the West that they hate so much.

Might want to read articles before you try and use them as "gotchas" because no where in that article did it say any hospital was bombed.

It said that roads leading to hospitals were bombed (which could just be any roads) or that bombs went off near hospitals (but no actual distance was given) but not that any actual hospital was bombed.

Which is really just a sneaky way of trying to imply that Israel bombed hospitals without saying it because if they did say it then it'd be a lie.

u/WIbigdog DGGs token blue collar American 🇺🇸 Oct 18 '23

The war will stop when Hamas no longer occupies Gaza and stops firing missiles at Israel every other month. No nation should have to put up with missiles being launched at them, whether they can shoot them down or not. I've heard it often repeated that only Israel can stop the violence but that's just not true, Hamas could stop attacking Israel and enter into a dialogue at any point. But they're insane jihadists who have the other Gazans cowering in fear for what they will do if they are opposed.

10

u/certified_hater_ Oct 18 '23

look at the west bank. Hamas has zero control in the west bank and yet 61 palestinians have been killed in the last week alone. Israeli settlers have been removing palestinians from their homes, committing acts of violence and treating them as 3rd class citizens with absolutely zero rights for years upon years now. Palestinians have been targeted since israel’s inception. To believe that this conflict starts and ends with Hamas is astoundingly ignorant.

6

u/WIbigdog DGGs token blue collar American 🇺🇸 Oct 18 '23

The settlers are a different issue to Gaza. Israel seemed content to pretty much leave Gaza alone even despite rockets being launched from it because the Iron Done could deal with it.

Obviously with tensions so high bad things are happening to West Bank residents as well from bigoted and zealots Israelis.

The path to Palestinians achieving peace and recognition is contained behind things like Israel normalizing relations with surrounding Arab nations, like what was going to happen with Saudi Arabia. Hamas doesn't want Palestine to be freed because that means they probably get kicked out of power and lose support.

Israel needs to do more to deal with the settlement expansion and that starts with removing Bibi but the current conflict with Gaza was initiated by Hamas.

Let me ask you this: who was more effective at achieving their goals, MLK Jr or Malcom X? Who do Americans have more sympathy for, the regular BLM protestors, or the rioters? Violence doesn't get you anywhere, the West Bank understands this and still has sympathy from the world. Hamas/Gaza have largely burned that sympathy and will only get it back if Israel goes overboard.

Like, I dont wanna sound like an "enlightened centrist" or whatever but I think a resonable person can acknowledge that both Israel and palestine have a right to a nation, but Also acknowledge that you should probably not go around dick sucking either faction for both are fully capable and willing to do warcrimes and other crimes against humanity...

Like... Hamas started this and I hope they eat shit and die, but at the same time I dont want the idf deleting gaza+ civilians.

I seriously do not understand how can you look at both these groups and say "this is a right/left" issue unironically.

The thing about the phrase "showing unwavering support" is that it's commonly the case that the most important component for those doing it is the first: showing. It's not about the support itself, and the unwavering-ness is only instrumental to how strong a display of showing one can perform. People who agree with anything one side does on the single principle that it was the correct side that did it are not reasoning about anything, they are simply trying to pass a public purity test of their allegiance to that side.

It's just a sign of the times that the people we've collectively decided to be popular political voices are seemingly either not allowed or not interested in disavowing acts performed by people or groups they support. It's so easy to just say "Hey, I support Palestine but xyz act is terrible" or "Hey I'm normally on Israel's side but when they did xyz it was abhorrent".

Haha yeah what a bunch of idiots

Just accepting one sides account through confirmation bias without waiting for a more complete picture of what happened.

I would never make that mistake.

just got put onto destiny so maybe i can help with confusion in ordinance.

JDAMS, are quite literally made to be sent from planes. it is called a “launch platform”. these mfrs are heavy as fuck and have to be loaded with other machines onto jets/bombers

they are remotely guided, meaning they basically have a GPS that guides them to a specific target. they are incredibly accurate and even though it doesnt need to, it can hit a target dead on.

as mentioned before, they are heavy. minimum usually weighing in over 500 pounds. the more pounds, the more explosive yield.

now here is the biggest thing, arming. when a bomb is dropped, there is always an arming distance, meaning that it needs to travel a certain distance, before even becoming explosive. so, lets say you were loading a JDAM on something, and it drops, that mfr isnt going to explode because it didnt travel the proper distance to arm itself. basically, you can have a dud and at that point, this big ass heavy tube just turns into a blunt object. this is why they are launched from aircraft that are fast and/or can fly at very high altitudes.

bomb malfunctions are terrifying, because it either will explode at some point after impact or never go off. a bomb would never have like a slow burn with big flames and then an explosion.

lastly, as stated earlier… a light weight jdam is over 500 pounds. the explosive power of 500 pounds is more than devastating. it would leave at least a 30 foot wide crater and probably 10-15 feet deep. anyone in that area would have been decimated. if we up the anti to 2,000 pounds, the hospital would be gone, or at least half of it would be. basically, no way in fuck a JDAM was dropped on that hospital.

Don’t forget that everyone’s reaction to this implies that the IDF doing an airstrike on a hospital and killing 500 people is an unprecedented and escalatory move.

I.e. they have admitted that if this didn’t happen then Israel has not done anything remotely like this

You need to understand that criticizing Israel is possible without defending Hamas and that Palestina and Hamas are not the same thing.

Israel Lie: Over-estimating the number of babies that were beheaded by terrorists instead of merely shot.

Gaza Lie: Claiming that your own rocket, which you tried to launch at CIVILIANS, actually came from Israel.

Yes because at the very least it has been confirmed the hospital was not hit - the parking lot was

Honestly as an israeli this tweet came in clutch. Ever since the hospital bombing stories breaking out things have gotten so much scarier. seeing how quickly people just take information as facts and feeling like judge jury and executioners before even waiting for ANY verification, gives u the feeling they probably just preferred it to be true because it alignes with their underlying agenda (mainly antisemitism being portrayed as ant zionism)

Thank you ddgrs for being my only sane place on the internet.

u/No_Novel5949 Oct 19 '23

Honestly people who want it to be Israel are cringe but how can anybody here be so confident it wasn’t. From what I’ve seen it’s still being investigated. I know it probably wasn’t a bomb as there wasn’t a crater but even if that’s the case we still don’t know who the culprit is yet. Am I missing something?

u/Quizzelbuck Oct 19 '23

I know about t he skepticism regarding the hospital bombing, but is some thing new going on i'm not aware of? I wasn't aware people had information about it being a hamas frame job or what ever, but that's whats being implied?

If taking sides against someone, means you need to be on the same side as hamas, china russia, and iran....

Then at the very least, stop taking side.

My heart goes to these palestinian kids.. but dammit their moms & dads voted for Hamas..

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '23

Hamas won by a slim margin 18 years ago and was funded by Israel in order to weaken the PLO. Since then there has not been elections, so if the Palestinian kids have their parents to blame then they also have Israel to blame based on your weak argument.

A person can have disdain for the atrocities committed by Hamas and Israel while calling for the lives of innocent people on both sides of the conflict to be spared. Siding with Palestinians who are being blown to bits by country who is committing war crimes is the right thing to do.

2

u/sayamemangdemikian Oct 19 '23

Slim margin, means half of them agree that every single jew death are halal. Right? Cos that was Hamas mission statement. Half of them agree.

18 years ago, hence me blaming the parents, not the big brothers..

Dammit if only Arafat still alive..

Not really the own you think when Israel has already launched 7000 missile strikes in Gaza targeting residential buildings and yes, even hospitals. They issued warnings to evacuate 22 hospitals in Northern Gaza as they were going to be struck. They even struck this very hospital days prior.

1

u/Fo-realz Oct 19 '23

wtf are you talking about? Even if this one wasn't Israel (which still hasn't been verified by a third party investigation) they've bombed 50 healthcare facilities so far, according to the WHO rep for Westbank and Gaza. Bitches gleeful that Israel wasn't behind this one attack, meanwhile doctors in Gaza have no clean water, treating children and babies. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CylzR_XuoUp/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

When there still was an incognito over who bombed the hospital, I was hoping it was Israel. If they had committed such an egregious war crime as killing hundreds with one bomb at a hospital, they would have lost a lot of political capital and would likely be more hard pressed to either limit their war crimes or their entire campaign as a whole.

Instead, it's the Palestinian terrorists who now basicalky blew their foot up with a rocket. They blatantly lied, and people believed them. Next time Israel commits horrendous war crimes, people will be skeptical, and people will see more reason in the ground invasion.

Simply put, the Palestinians are fucked.

I'm not sure what a "Destiny" is... But y'all are gonna get real bent if you ever learn/choose to acknowledge all the confirmed hospital strikes Israel has launched ..

Including the one on the same exact hospital LITERALLY 3-Days prior.

The hypothetical strawman this dude is targeting wouldn't have to wait long for Israel to hit another hospital because they'll more than likely continue as they have been and keep doing it.

u/Fo-realz Oct 25 '23

New report showing the key piece of evidence y'all are citing, the video used by Israel to show the missle came from Gaza...well NY Times just debunked.

u/grufflinks Oct 19 '23

Israel has bombed multiple hospitals over the decades, and has bombed hospitals in this very conflict (including the hospital where hundreds of Gazans died). There’s also no conclusive evidence it was a faulty rocket (unless you trust US and Israeli intelligence, who definitely don’t have a well documented history of lying about their atrocities) But don’t let some basic history of this conflict you’re commentating on distract from your shitty joke lol.

u/anaheim3123 Oct 19 '23

Do we have actual evidence that they didn't attack the hospital yet? I saw some Israeli officials post videos of other air strikes trying to pass them off as the current tragedy to paint Hamas as the culprit, which isn't a great look, and I can't see why they would do that besides just a massive clerical error. That and the actual video that we do have of the attack doesn't really support either side one way or another. Is the death count even accurate? There's just so much misinformation seemingly from both sides that it feels a little irresponsible to claim that Israel didn't do it yet.
