    I'll give you a possible scenario
    Hoping it would be a safe areas Gazans have been camping in the grounds of medical facilities so if the car park was full of people and was then hit by a rocket still fuel of fuel i presume the warhead and fuel going up together would be pretty devastating particularly as presumably the car park is open space .

    So despite hundreds of people being killed, Pinkie and Fosse are still playing at point scoring and finger pointing, both of them been at it since last night, and all day today.

    They are not the slight bit interested in the truth, their anti Israel stance is very telling, in fact from the days Hamas carried out their barbaric act.

    Surely any reasonable person would just wait until the facts come out, but no they can't wait, they are not interested in any of the victims, it just creates them some weird ghoulish internet win, to try desperately to prove the IDF were to blame.

    It saddens me deeply, but The Israel Times called it... https://www.timesofisrael.com/hater...-about-gaza-hospital-blast-are-being-exposed/

    I also thought his comment about 'the other team' was also a bit crass.

    The footage shown of the explosion does show a huge fireball with the explosion which would not have been caused by a warhead alone

    Who does offer any impartiality and accountability in all of this ?

    Is that even possible any more ?

    That was a poor analogy to use.

    Reducing it to a sports game.

    I know we do that sort of thing on here for some light relief from the horror of it all, but for the US president to use that terminology was real poor judgement.

    The massive fireball was why I initially thought they might have some sort of generator or something. But it is a compelling argument that it was rocket fuel going up and causing a more devastating explosion.

    Yeah I don't think he meant anything malicious by it but it was certainly a poor choice of words.

    Well we finally agree on something. Extremely poor taste by the President, but his behaviour is one of a man whose brain no longer lives in reality, no disrespect to the guy, they need someone far younger, but the future does not look promising, and that does not help when it comes to bringing everyone together.

    This.

    Reporters who blame Israel have their own agenda, the reporters who blame a misfire from Hamas or IJ also have an agenda.

    Looking at it objectively, you could argue it was either side as Israel have bombed hospitals before and Hamas etc have accidentally bombed Gaza before too

    Ultimately and the thing I most care about, innocent people have been murdered again.

    The Israelis have posted evidence and its starting to look conclusive. Absolutely nothing at all put forward by the other side.

    Nothing will convince certain people that it wasn't Israel.

    Agreed. Biden was always an establishment man. He's been in and around the White House and Congress for over 50 years. You don't stick around for that long unless you toe the line and fit the establishment role. He's a safe pair of hands for the Corporate machine and the Military industrial complex. He was never going to offer anything more than unequivocal support for Israel.

    Although that said, he's managed to persuade Israel to open the humanitarian corridor (in exchange for weapons)

    As for Netanyahu. He's so embedded in right wing, religious conservatism and extremist ideology, because he relies on that for power to maintain a Govt. So he is the last person needed in that position. He will appease the zealots for his own place as Prime Minister.

    The whole lot need clearing out, including Hamas.

    People who truly want to work towards peace need to be in those positions, which all seems like a pipe dream right now.

    Lovely songs by the Palestinian crowd in London.

    This isn't anti-semitic, mind. It's just showing support to Palestine :emoticon-0138-think

    So, a Palestinian misfire seems to be the genuine cause of the explosion in that hospital.

    I hope Jeremy Corbyn, who posted on Twitter without a shred of evidence blaming Israel for that specific explosion, deletes his tweet. As the fella who introduced anti-semitism to the mainstream of the Labour Party his comments will be watched closely.

    And nothing will convince others that it is. People will believe what they want to believe, and meanwhile civilians will die.

    Yep. It’s all so tribal. Even in here you can see the divides.

    Have you condemned the 9 Israeli airstrikes on the Southern Gaza 'safe zones' yet? ... you've had plenty of opportunity to?

    ... or are you still point scoring and making excuses for Israeli state terrorism?
