The incident comes in the broader context of an ongoing genocide. I’m not sure what kind of nuanced position you want in terms of the outcome of this
Israel initially took responsibility for the attacks on social media before they scrubbed it and blamed Hamas. Experts don’t believe Hamas has enough high-grade munitions to destroy a hospital that size so completely.
Ignoring that, even if Hamas DID blow up its own hospital, how does that significantly change anything about how Israel should respond to its continual
destruction of the Palestinians?
Does this event, on the bizarre chance that Hamas destroyed its own hospital in the despite being in the mist of a massive Israeli air strike, change the fundamental problem that Israel’s completely overarching power and destruction is creating the misery that allows the justification for groups like Hamas to exist?
I don't share your view on this conflict in the same way you do. I understand how you can come to this perspective, but i don't think that it is as easy – but this would go way too deep into discussing the vast history of this conflict. And i'm not interested in a discussion about this.
I think that that a two state solution is the only way to go. I fully support the Palestinian people in this claim (just to give a bit of context, where I'm coming from – maybe this helps to keep this discussion outside of calling names and the usual verbal escalation)
Regarding the rockets – there are numerous reports of Hamas now having access to a certain amount of larger rockets. There was an announcement of Islamic Jihad that there will be a new rocket attack shortly before the event. There's al jazeera footage of a rocket failing and falling short – so it may be possible. And it would be really problematic from my perspective if this has happened and Hamas had shifted the blame to Israel, because the consequences will be devastating – even beyond this conflict.
The thing, why i'm stating all this, is not because i want the Gaza strip and the Westbank be in such a terrible shape they are in now. I'm hoping for them they overcome idiots like Hamas, who would do anything to escalate the conflict and don't care about the civilian people living there. (disclaimer: there are equally idiotic people on the Israel side). This is, why i'm careful with such quick statements. Things like knowing a number of people killed shortly after the incident makes me sceptical.
And to be clear – yes, there is also the chance that this was an airstrike, since the IDF warned people to evacuate that hospital.
Either way. It's totally terrible.
And at the moment everybody is moving further away from finding a solution. And being quick to judge will move everyone even further away.
