    Are they too stupid to realize they are giving Hamas exactly what they want? This does nothing to further Israel’s security, and in fact probably creates more terrorists. I can only conclude that is in fact also exactly what the government of Israel wants too. Fuck.

      If they instigate war, they open up their ability to land grab afterwards. They know they’ll win any conflict with Palestine; they don’t care about the lives on either side.

      Hamas was created by Israel to snuff out it’s competition like the PLO. The Israeli far right and Hamas are in symbiosis

      Personally I’d wait for a while, because at this moment Hamas claims Israel attacked a hospital and Israel claims Hamas had a failed rocket launch that destroyed a hospital. Both are plausible, and I haven’t seen any confirmation of either variant from a 3rd party so far (might have missed something though).

      If it is Israel, it’s a huge fuck up.

      edit: A video supposedly taken from Al Jazeera Arabic livestream seems to most clearly show the supposed rocket misfiring, and it looks pretty damning. If that’s real, I hope the media who immediately called it Israel’s fault based on just the word of Hamas get called out, but I’m not holding my breath yet - the situation is a clusterfuck and there is definitely a lot of disinformation being spread.

      Yeah, they realize it. That’s why they didn’t target the hospital. It’s a misfired rocket by Islamic Jihad

      The IDF claims this was caused by a mid-fire of Hamas rockets. Both sides have provided the exact same amount of evidence, zero. Maybe wait before hoping back on the anti-Israel bandwagon.
