Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleagues’ quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza “disturbing” in a statement Wednesday.
“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,” Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Here’s the available evidence of what happened at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza
Maybe I’m crazy, but the series of events seems incredibly obvious from the videos linked in that article. A rocket is fired from a position far away from the hospital that seems typical of the ones used by Hamas. Israel intercepted it above the hospital and it broke apart. The explodey bit fell out of the sky and landed near the hospital, making a big boom and killing people.
This is what happens when you hurl deadly explosives at each other over densely populated areas. Everyone sucks here.
The group defending themselves from missile attacks assumes no blame here. That’s straight up victim blaming.
Just to be clear, I’m not trying to blame anyone. I’m saying it seems pretty clear that neither side intended to hit the hospital.
???
Yes, both sides are waging a war in an area densely populated with civilians, and innocent people are dying. Everyone sucks here, as is often the case in war.
The people who did not start the war are not to blame for the war.
This is like saying Ukraine should be trading land for peace talks
If blood libel was true, would it have justified the shoa?
