The al-Ahli Baptist Hospital Massacre* & Israeli War Crimes continue

"When you dehumanize, it allows you to kill
your enemy and no longer feel guilty about it,"
- Dr. James Forsher 2003 
The American and Israeli thirst for blood won't be sated, satiated, or satisfied anytime soon.  The Xitter chatter was that President Biden and Secretary Blinken are pushing for the IDF and the Fascist bloodthirsty Netanyahu Likud government to at least pause after this first week plus of indiscriminate bombings.

Whether or not President Biden was going to be able to accomplish this is now moot because his just announced diplomatic trip was cancelled due to the massacre at the Gaza Hospital.

A Glorious military success...
Errr, no it wasn't Us!


Was the Hospital blown up by an Israeli airstrike?  It seems Israeli forces were celebrating their successful air strike to kill a number of terrorists... until the images began coming out and the scope of death and destruction became evident.  Right now the number of deaths stands at 500. 

Al-Jazerra claims their digital video analysis conclusively shows the Israeli air strike.  The response from the Israeli government has been less than accurate and I think it's probable the Israeli Air Force blew up the Hospital and now is using the fog of war, deliberate misinformation, and the bigotry to conceal their culpability and deny responsibility. 

Drats! You caught us!
Well, we'll just try again...
Sadly, the IDF might very well be able to rely on the various members of the American populace and elected Republicans to continue to push the total lie about the IDF being the "most moral military" whilst simultaneously gleefully pushing for Israel to commit full-scale Genocide.  The key of course, is many warmongers have declared Hamas is responsible for everything that happens so even if the IDF made the strike, well those people are dead because of Hamas anyway.  

As far as I'm concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza.

Even though the IDF will always claim it was a rocket from "Islamic Jihad" or whomever, and many who blindly support Israel will never believe any claim from Hamas or the UN or any agency.  While, the god's eye truth of this doesn't matter in terms of the carnage from this attack, the upcoming short term loss of life, and the future growth of Extremists on both sides, ultimately the Israeli government bears the responsibility because they decided to launch military operations into an urban environment.

And meanwhile, ABC News's expert believes that the sound, video and lack of a bomb crater are indicative of an errant rocket.

So believe who you will.

The Truth will never be known, and the Israeli people will believe the IDF reports of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad errant "rocket" while the US sadly seems to be supporting Israel unconditionally. Hopefully, President Biden and his cabinet are pushing to keep the conflict as confined to Gaza as possible while pushing for Israel to stop sooner rather than later.

But, I think the Fascist Likud Government is eyeing the possibility of displacing all those in Gaza (whom they don't kill) and annexing the area for Greater Israel.
