U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas and backing its account that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital had been caused by militants.
The fireball that engulfed the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital delivered some of the most harrowing images yet from a 12-day war, and wrecked White House plans for Biden’s emergency diplomatic mission to the Middle East, with Arab leaders calling off their planned summit with the U.S. president.
Palestinian officials blamed an Israeli air strike for the blast, which it said had killed as many as 500 people. Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, which denied blame.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
I’d be interested in evidence that supports either claim.
Yeah, there still seems to be no evidence. I’ve been holding judgement from the start.
There’s too much conflicting evidence for me to be able to say at this point. Has there been news on the supposed Al Jazeera recording of the event that shows an internal launch?
Just like claim about the 40 babies that later was disputed/ not true?
Where are all the evidence?
This is just claiming things without an actual evidence. Kind of propoganda.
Actually a lot of the OSINT community has come out and vetted much this version (example) but go ahead and tell us how you not being aware of any evidence means it doesn’t exist
Here’s more further confirming it was not an air strike:

I actually wasn’t aware and thanks, I will check the links.
However you have such an aggressive approach, that I doubt it will be of any use to discuss nor argue with you any further.
Therefore, I welcome you to my blocklist.
😂
Honestly, in this post-truth world … I don’t believe a freaking word of it …
“THE OTHER TEAM”
“MILITANTS”
I legit was not sure which side he was talking about when he used that term.
Yeah and? Both sides are absolutely fucked, both with a LOT of unarmed civvy blood on their hands.
Team A and team B are both guilty as fuck to many atrocities, both militant groups, etc
News flash: Hamas IS NOT Palestine
The other 11999 bombs though? Yeah totally us! Seems asinine to debate this one specific killing of civilians.
What are we up to now? At least 3000 dead and 10,000 wounded in 10 days, not counting those lost in the rubble of the buildings they’ve flattened.
“I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
about as bad as the nfl refs lately
explosion is a fucking hell of a way to describe a bombing
This is the best summary I could come up with:
GAZA/TEL AVIV, Oct 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas and backing its account that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital had been caused by militants.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
Biden’s trip to the Middle East was supposed to calm the region, even as he demonstrated U.S. support for its ally Israel, which has vowed to annihilate the Hamas movement whose fighters killed 1,400 Israelis in a rampage on Oct. 7.
The scenes of destruction from the hospital were horrific even by the standards of the past 12 days, which have confronted the world with relentless images, first of Israelis slaughtered in their homes and then of Palestinian families buried under rubble from Israel’s retaliatory strikes.
The U.S. State Department issued a new warning to Americans not to travel to Lebanon, where border clashes between the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement and Israel over the past week have been the deadliest since the last all-out war in 2006.
But he is under intense pressure to win a clear Israeli commitment to alleviate the plight of civilians in the Gaza Strip, where 2.3 million Palestinians are under total siege, with no access to food, fuel, water or medical supplies.
The original article contains 884 words, the summary contains 253 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m afraid that the US is gonna have another 9/11 if we don’t stop supporting Israel.
Because the indiscriminate bombings that kill civilians makes people want to join terrorist organizations because they have no other recourse for their families being murdered?
That’s just a solid terrorist W against you then.
Fix your title. That’s not what he said.
Jesus Christ Joe. You fucked over Anita and now you’re on to fucking over a country because you can’t find your spine with both hands a doctor providing instruction.
Yes it was caused by militants
Was it our militants or the other team’s militants?
It literally does not matter
It most certainly does matter. We’re aiding and supporting one side. They should not be using that aid to continue to murder civilians.
The two sides are murderers, and civilians. If you’re divvying them up by what flag they’re waving then you’ve chosen the side of the murderers.
My personal opinion has no impact. My government has chose a side, and you’re correct, they’ve chosen the side of murderers. That’s a problem.
Mine too 🙁. And I think your opinion does have an impact, if only on yourself. I read about this shit, and some part of me really wants to rage and justify one horror over another. And I hate that.
Calling the other side of this conflict simply civvies is reductive as fuck. Fuck Israel and the IDF but Hamas are not simply citizens taking abuse from their occupiers. That ended when their targets ceased to be solely military, even now many Hamas supporters are calling for the extermination of all Israelis.
Free Palestine, but the situation is absolutely not murderers vs civilians, shame on you for trying to muddy the waters by saying such a thing.
Israel and the IDF
Murderers.
Hamas
Murderers.
Hamas supporters are calling for the extermination of all Israelis
Murderers.
Please pay attention
People spending too much time on the specific of who to blame for a hospital strike instead of the hundreds of kids that already died or injured due to to attacks on heavily populated closed areas.
Just like he saw the picture of 40 beheaded babies, son died in Iraq, drove an 18 wheeler, convinced Strom Thurman to pass voting rights act and civil rights act, was raised in synagogues, etc, this guy is a liar.
