President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren't behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

The United States government is quite possibly the least trustworthy organization in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.

The Israeli state is an active apartheid state that confines Palestinians to large ghettos and legally deprives them of their human rights. They have spent the last 70 years continually committing atrocities and war crimes against Palestinian men, women, and children. Their defense minister recently referred to Palestinians as "human animals," and they are being led by a man who has been openly genocidal towards Palestine for the last 30 years. I literally do not trust a single word that comes from the Israeli state on absolutely anything. They have lied continuously since this conflict began and are openly racist and discriminatory towards Muslims. I have no doubt in my mind that a military that routinely shoots journalists and medical staff would bomb this hospital. They have already bombed other hospitals since this conflict began.

There is a huge difference between the intricacies of biology and of where a fucking missile came from. They would provide proof if they had it. They have every single reason to want Israel's name cleared. Even cropped video footage or whatever data they have. I will believe it when I see it.

There is plenty of evidence out now.

Its also normal for hamas to try to politicaly exploit the situation. On the other hand Israel has done things like that before, so it wouldn't be completely out of character.

The israeli, palestinian, russian, chinese and american governments are quite possibly the least trustworthy organizations in the entire world and I have absolutely 0 faith for them to accurately provide any information that would in any way be detrimental to them or their allies.

You should look into them, and the political concept of democratic confederalism they’ve applied to their region of Syria/Kurdistan. Its about the best system I’ve encountered for humans to organize themselves that prioritzes sustainability, equality, self governance, and cooperation
