Also, weren't the Israelis the ones who supposedly had all this Secret Squirrel Intelligence about how Iraq was just chock-full of WMDs? Didn't Netanyahu himself testify as much before Congress?

Weren't we duly assured at the time that Shin Bet is all-seeing, all-knowing?

Do remind me, how did that one turn out?

Is that where the Scion of the Bush Crime Family and the Neocon Four (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Rice......oh yes, and Powell) got the finishing touches from on their cooked up rationale to invade Iraq? Not that I doubt either your veracity or your sources, but I need receipts in the form of links. Thanks!!

At the end of the day, Hamas simply does not have the ordinance to cause such damage.

Israel is scrambling to create a passable cover story.

I don’t know why they’re even bothering to come up with a cover story, the west is primed to cheer on genocide at this point they might as well go mask off nothing will happen the US will continue to fund them like they’re the 51st state with free higher education and socialized healthcare meanwhile we are living in tent cities and being admonished to mAkE bEtTeR cHoIcEs and pick our selves up by our boot straps.

You are right. I suspect it is for the historical narrative. In ten years that is all that will be remembered in the mainstream.

Cowardly Westerners need such a pretense-fig leaf to be able to stick to absurd narratives that benefit them. Just something they can use to stop awkward challenging discussions. "Yes, but didn't you hear, Hamas themselves said they did it", and they can close the discussion with an apparent good conscience. That's how it works all the time.

I wonder why Israel feels it needs to lie? Maybe because this particular missile strike on civilians is so horrendously inhumane and against all conventions of human decency and normalcy (even in war) - that they must find a way to hide the fact of their latest murderous rampage?

I'm not so cynical as you. In this case, my best guess is that it was a (major) screw-up. Maybe by the Israelis; maybe by Hamas, like the recording suggests.

Violent situations are horrible and chaotic, and I acknowledge that even the sides I favor can make mistakes and do things that even they regret.

Well - the 7 hours before the Israelis responded, is a pretty big question for me. And now we see this blatant lie over an obvious missile strike against a hospital. I'm just no longer willing to believe Netanyahu wouldn't allow a false-flag event to happen.

Also, Jonathan Cook's article includes the sound of the missile hitting. Definitely not a rocket.

Did you see today's mini statement from Biden in Israel local? It was even more vociferous support. Fawning even. Adding homilies.

It may indeed. They got their armaments and equipment from SOMEWHERE and SOMEONE. There are gun runners, governments and profiteer dealers in heavy weaponry ready to make a "KILLING" on sell, sell, selling. Even arming both sides of the conflict, which the conscience-less and immoral Biden Regime appears to be doing at the present time. So no telling WHO Hamas made a deal or deals with....

What IS implausible is that the Hamas vast build up and year long rehearsals apparently occurred without Israeli foreknowledge. That really sticks in the craws of most reasonable people

All we are hearing are stumbling CYA excuses from Israel.

Maybe it is seriously time for the secularists and atheists everywhere to REPENT and turn back to the HOLY GOD MOST HIGH, The Creator and Sustainer. According to the Scriptures and the way things are playing out, the High Tech idolatrous defenses so deeply relied upon have proven unworthy....the Scriptures tell it all including the Brit HaHadasha.

How convenient! Israel’s “9/11” alright!

Netanyahu needed an excuse to genocide the Palestinians as he was facing massive societal unrest domestically - including the military - over his judicial reforms.

And america LOVES war. We can afford two! That’s what the fed said! We’ve got plenty of money for war but can’t feed the poor! Tupac was right.

GENERAL Smedley Butler was right. WAR IS A RACKET indeed.

With all the SCORCHED EARTH and DESTRUCTION AKTIONS being carried out these days, what happens when the rubble is CLEARED away and to where the survivors get relocated will tell us something about the possible motivations behind them. NOT JUST IN ISRAEL, but all over the world.

Connect the dots. See what MAY be going on beyond an Israeli-Hamas war here. Consider the Big Picture. A lot of governments are going along with and furthering WEF NWO 2030 and 2050 goals. And nobody should assume that Israel is automatically ruled out of that.

The buck doesnt stop with Netanyahu. He, like so many other Heads of State, is just the designated fall guy....like Golda Meir was the Lightning Rod for the anger over the Yom Kippur War in 1973,

Caitlin is almost always way ahead of the game. But here she only gingerly approaches the possibility that Israel allowed Hamas to conduct its attack on Oct. 7 so as to create the pretext for a "murderous rampage." This is what folks in the 9/11 Truth movement call LIHOP -- let it happen on purpose.

I expect Caitlin to realize that the terrible truth in Israel's case (as well as the case of 9/11) is MIHOP -- made it happen on purpose. The Canadian website globalresearch.ca, which has been in the forefront of 9/11 Truth, is now publishing a variety of analyses that substantiate this conclusion about the inception of the Hamas attack.

For example, it is now established that Israel was instrumental in creating Hamas back in 1987 as a part of the strategy, in Netanyahu's words, "to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.." There is every reason to believe that Hamas is infiltrated by Israeli agents.

Testimonies of Israelis who survived the Hamas attack are now surfacing that credit their Hamas attackers with treating them "humanely" and also establish that Israeli forces shot their own civilians. https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-forces-shot-their-own-civilians-kibbutz-survivor-says/38861; https://new.thecradle.co/articles/survivor-of-hamas-assault-says-israeli-army-undoubtedly-killed-their-own-civilians

I also would go further than Caitlin in characterizing the nature of the intended pretext. It is beyond a pretext for murderous rampage. It is a pretext for the Final Solution to the Palestinian problem.

I agree with Barry Kissin.

"I also would go further than Caitlin in characterizing the nature of the intended pretext. It is beyond a pretext for murderous rampage. It is a pretext for the Final Solution to the Palestinian problem."

Israel and the US are the ones willing to risk a nuclear "free-for-all" while carrying out their mass extermination, ethnic cleansing of a people.

I'm tired of having the nuclear threat held over my head by fascist, collective punishment homicidal warpigs. Whether Israel & the US choose to use nuclear weapons is up to them - but I personally will not support ethnic cleansing - maybe you support it - but I don't. Yes, I hope the Arab world intercedes on behalf of the Palestinians.

The Abuser always threatens more abuse if the abused disobey. And the threatened abuse here is a nuclear war by the US and Israel. If I'm forced to choose to just stand by and watch an ongoing genocidal ethnic cleansing of a population - and that is what this is - and I'm suppose to standby because I'm being threatened with nuclear weapons - then I choose defending against genocide. And guess what Catherine Hazur? A million Arab martyrs will likely be willing to do so as well.

Yeah Daniel is just trolling. I've been under attack constantly in these comments section (more than ever) this last week since this Zionist sponsored genocide broke out. People attacking my anger, my character - even going so far as attacking my personal living conditions. Attacking my rationality and doing whatever they can to gaslight me and others here in the comments - like this 3 year old trolling clown is attempting to do. It's all part of a deliberate propaganda effort to smear anyone opposes their assumption Israel has the right to do whatever the fuck it wants to a bunch of innocent civilians they've kept in an open air concentration camp now for decades.

The trolls succeed in what they do not because they are correct, but the purpose is to muddy the waters as much as they can and degrade any kind of rational discussion. Part of why the immediate reaction to Israel's bombing a hospital full of civilians is to immediately lie about it and cover up the mass murder Israel just performed of non-military human beings. Gaslighting the rationality of ordinary people with their ethnic cleansing, murderous bullshit.

So let me get this straight, the recorded conversation supposedly exposes that the missile was fired from the cemetary behind the hospital, which according to this explanation means it was very close.

So now I challenge anyone to show me a feasible trajectory for this rocket, from where it was supposedly fired, to the point where it hit and took down the whole hospital , and including the charge energy of the rockets being used by Hamas, BS the charge energy required to take down the hospital, before I believe this version.

Mondoweiss - July 2015: Targeting Medical Workers

The Amnesty report describes a scene in the August onslaught:

An ambulance carrying a wounded old man, woman and three children was struck by a drone-fired missile, setting it alight and burning everyone inside including medical workers to death. Jaber Darabih, a paramedic who arrived at the scene, described the charred remains of bodies with “no legs, no hands… severely burned.” Tragically, he later discovered that his own son, a volunteer paramedic was among those killed in the ambulance.

A doctor told Amnesty patients frantically fled a Rafah hospital during the bombardment. Some of the Palestinians running for their lives “were wheeled out on beds, many had intravenous drips still attached.”

“A young boy in a plaster cast dragged himself along the ground to get away,” Amnesty wrote.

“By attacking ambulances and striking near hospitals, Israel’s army displayed a flagrant disregard for the laws of war,” Luther stated. “Deliberately attacking health facilities and medical professionals amounts to war crimes.”

.......Sure that it wasn't "collateral damage?" No matter what kind of label warring parties slap on to justify and CYA what all they do, the body count of gravely wounded and dead from both sides is always present with their blood crying out from the Ground.

In the high adrenaline fueled ensuing emotions the combatants and their cheerleaders are forgetting God's irrevocable and irreversible rule that WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT ALSO SHALL HE REAP.
