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.

I don't know, most of the papers in the UK led with a front page item on how Israel had killed 500 people by bombing a hospital. So if that wasn't actually true, it's quite important.

I doubt that Rishi Sunak speak correctly.

This is the most global headline nơw.

If you have a little deep heart inside, you can think twice. See what difference between two sides. Who is support Israel, the world's most powerful militaries that every country don't want take risk to war with. Then, who is support Palestine. There is many country but still behind.

The latest statistics on the Israel-Palestine conflict as of October 19, 2023, are as follows:

Gaza: Killed: At least 3,478 Injured: Over 12,065 Occupied West Bank: Killed: At least 69 Injured: More than 1,300 Israel: Killed: At least 1,403 Injured: At least 3,800

These figures have been reported by the Palestinian health ministry, Palestine Red Crescent Society, and Israeli Medical Services. Please note that these numbers are subject to change as the situation evolves.

And what the trembling moments 1 child killed in Gaza every hour. Precisely more than that. 😥

When 12 of The Council drafted a statement calling for a ceasefire on Wednesday, but the statement was vetoed by the US. WHAT THE F***

Millions of lives hang in the balance, including the 2.3 million civilians half of whom are children in Gaza civilians in Israel, and Jews and Muslims around the world.

I can write more but let just world knows who is the really war criminal.

You don't have to be Muslim to support Palestine 🇵🇸 ... you just have to be HUMAN ... 😥

what can third parties do to reduce or eliminate Hamas's hold on Palestine?

I'm all for Palestinian rights, and the constant encroachment of fundamentalist settlements is a war crime that went unpunished for Israel - but Hamas's charter is explicit, there's no middle ground or two state solution, just the destruction of Israel.

So how can third parties help the Palestinians in the one way that would make a significant difference in their QOL and interactions with Israel?

Honest question.

so make Israel an easier target for the many countries that agree with Hamas and think it should be destroyed?

pfft. did you even read the question? How the fuck does that stop Hamas, if anything it would embolden them. How does that help Palestinians wanting a future without a genocidal fuckwit club running their country?

how can we help Palestine?

no not like that

You're not going to get any magical solution because Israel is a country founded on stolen land by entitled religious extremists. People always leave that part out when they talk about this situation.

You’re not going to get any magical solution

and yet they all believe in their invisible friends and holy books so much.... ironic that.

Israel is a country founded on stolen land by entitled religious extremists. People always leave that part out when they talk about this situation.

funny how you're leaving out the near extermination of their people and world recognition of their state, kinda glossing over most of history even. guess you decided to leave those parts out too. It's almost as if both sides are completely full of shit.

Huh.

You also can support Palestinian people and genuinely want their liberation, but have zero love for Hamas or IJ.

Okay well I'm not sure what most of this says, and I know better than to engage in Israel-Palestine discourse online.
