Israeli military says strikes on Gaza hospital targeted a Hamas camera, without providing evidence
apnews.com
The military said the back-to-back strikes on southern Gaza’s largest hospital were ordered because soldiers believed militants were using the camera to observe Israeli forces.

    They can’t stop lying, no matter how stupid they sound. It is a real national mental illness.

    It’s tragic when the the made-up justifications for war crimes are so bad. The “Hamas surveillance camera” (news camera) wouldn’t justify the death of 20 people at any time. The IDF could have made up any lie they wanted and the Israeli public and international supporters would have believed it, and they chose to admit they murdered 20 people for a fucking camera.

        From the article:

        Without offering evidence, Israel has in the past identified emergency responders who work under the Hamas-run government as militants to be targeted, including in the killing of 15 medics in March, when Israeli troops opened fire on ambulances in southern Gaza.

        The information is there if you read it.

        mourning the journalists killed by the terrorist state

        Mourning the dead has no business being mixed in with news in a regular article - that belongs in an obituary or editorial. It sounds like you want the AP to compromise its journalistic integrity by offering unambiguous condemnation instead of cold facts.

            Being biased (i.e. not being neutral):

            1. does not accomplish as much as you think it does, because the plain facts allow people to find the truth already. Only a minority of people will be swayed
            2. does harm that you are ignoring: it reduces trust in the outlet, and in journalism in general.

            So yes, there is absolutely space for neutrality; indeed it is critical.

    Wow, that’s a really bad excuse to murder 20 people. Not that there is really a good excuse for murdering 20 people, but this one is especially weak.

    News soon:

    “A school and its surrounding residential area has been leveled in Gaza by 35 airstrikes last night, because a Hamas leader once looked at its general direction”

    I don’t know what is more terrifying:

    Either the IDF is full of shit, and they are calculating murderous maniacs.

    Or they actually thought that it was a “Hamas camera” (in broad daylight, on top of a hospital, with like a live stream on Reuters) and they are such idiotic cowards that they thought that bombing a fucking hospital was an appropriate response.

    In fact forget it, with this press release they are confirming they are both stupid cowards AND calculating murderous maniacs.

    The AP on the other hand, is doing quite precisely the thing where they report that one side says it’s raining and the other says it isn’t. Look out of the fucking window and report the truth, you fucking bootlickers.
