  • You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. The hospital you're referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the "rocket" from the footage you're referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.

    Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.

  • Unfortunately they've either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there's a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.

  • A. The 1.5 million people have not "escaped" or been displaced "from Gaza", they've been forced to move to different places in the Gaza Strip: shelters predominantly. There's no ingress/egress from Gaza. It's basically a giant open-air prison.

    Israel erected a giant cage around the land boundary of the whole strip in 1993. There's only 3 exits, all of which are closed: the Rafah crossing into Egypt, the Kerem Shalom crossing at the corner where Israel and Egypt touch, and the Erez crossing into Israel in the north.

    Israel enforces a blockade of the shoreline, and a no fly zone. They destroyed Gaza's airport in 2001.

    B. "More than half" is doing some pretty heavy lifting. 1.5 million is closer to 75%.

    C. 10,022 / 2,048,000 = 0.489355%. Since the post yesterday, Israel has killed another 283 people which brings it up to 10,305 / 2,048,000 = 0.503%.

  • Israel was eerily silent, when they usually report mistakes like the UN official dying in their strikes quite quickly.

    They weren't eerily silent at all. There were Israeli military spokespeople bragging about it on X until they started seeing the backlash and deleted the tweets.

    IDF journalist Hananya Naftali: "BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead."

  • Here's a reminder of all the stuff Democrats gave up back in June and got absolutely nothing in return:

    • Defunded the IRS by $21 billion
    • New work requirements for SNAP and TANF
    • Defunded Covid relief by $30 billion
    • Restarted student loan payments
    • Severe 1% cap on budget increases for the rest of Biden's presidency (meanwhile inflation is near 4%)
    • New natural gas pipeline in West Virginia and Virginia
    • Major weakening of NEPA environmental reviews
