    Well why didn't you say so? If ISRAEL says it was Hamas-- it might, just as soon, be chiseled in stone.

    The rocket detonated ammunition Hamas was storing in the hospital.

    Thanks for offering a credible explanation. Of course, it having been an Israeli missile, is also a credible possibility.

    Thanks, Parrot Jack-- Lum Edwards just offered up that theory, 18 minutes before you.

    You make valid points. During the Clinton Administration I went to an information warfare conference and attended a presentation given by a Major General who asserted all furture wars would be won by information/perception management. That seemed like a radical idea at the time but now, short of using nukes that appears to be the case. The sort of information management that takes place in the US regarding the subject conflict is certainly not going to work in many countries, but of course most of them also have limited options for obtaining the truth. The truth does not matter. What matters is managing the perception of the truth.

    Again, so what ? Did they film it or was it handed to them ?

    And on what basis do you claim Al-Jazeera is pro Hamas ? Your bigotry ?

    I do not claim to be a munitions expert. My rationale, though, I explained:

    1) I saw the trails of all the rockets which were shot down, and got a sense of their detonation loads. But I saw no trails forking off, in what would have been about a 90° angle. Is there a reasonable explanation, why we might not see the trail?

    2) The magnitude of the explosion at the hospital, is many times greater than that of the rest of the exploded ordnance, we see. There is the possible explanation, that this is due to other munitions being stored in the hospital, which were ignited by the rocket.

    That doesn't give Israel carte blanche, to commit its own war crimes.
    DUH!

    All deaths on all sides are to the Palestinians' account ever since they abandoned Oslo.

    If this was an Israeli weapon, it was collateral damage.

    This post was to Bob Newhart, not to you. Here is the post, to which I'd been responding:

    Bob Newhart said: ↑
    You believe what you want and ignore the evidence.


    This thread is short enough, for you to be able to "explain" this, to yourself.


    (P.S.-- Do you know about those little arrows, like the one, above, after Newhart's name? They are supposed to bring you back to the actual post, from which the quote came-- though it doesn't always work, especially if it's not your quote).

    It's pretty unlikely that it's an Israeli missile. They would have nothing to gain by doing such a heinous thing even if they wanted to.

    Israeli aircraft dropping a high explosive bunker buster bomb that the IDF uses on tunnels.
    That could easily kill hundreds of people, not a Palestinian rocket.

    What war crimes ? Israel said they’re nor deliberately targeting civilians. Isn’t that enough for you ?
    If an Israeli bomb fell on that hospital, it means they were targeting the Hamas militants, not the 300 patients who died. Wake up.

    The explosion wasn't big enough for a bunker buster.

    Oh, well by that logic, so were all the civilian casualties from the Hamas rockets. They were firing at military targets and those civilians were just standing nearby.

    (That really is a lame attempt at justification, REALLY lame)
