    Now that Israel just openly declares it is bombing and invading hospitals, the fog of war bullshit really doesn’t matter anymore.

    Maybe this one hospital strike was a rocket. What about all the other ones?

      All the other ones were literally illegally used by Hamas as bases of combat operations and storage of their weapons. Heroes don’t hide behind injured vulnerable people in hospitals or behind children in their schools. Hamas deserves to be destroyed.

      Yeah, so maybe you’re right, maybe I did steal money from your purse, push grandma down the stairs when she got in my way, left the milk out over night, shit in Dad’s shoes while high on meth, smoked crack in the alley, slapped all my cousins alphabetically, poured cocaine on the dog, but I swear, I didn’t smoke crack in my bedroom and I don’t like being accused of things I didn’t do!

        My understanding is this lie was used by Hamas to isolate Israel from Arab nations where much of the public was frankly horrified by the brutal violence Hamas had aimed specifically at civilians. So no, it wasn’t just “the one relatively inconsequential thing,” it is a lie that has had serious consequences.

          Considering the fact that Israel is now bombing and invading every hospital, what difference does it make?

          If this was a lie then it was only a lie by a few weeks. Israel has fulfilled every accusation that Hamas has made.
