    So when will an official apology about this get issued? Never? Yeah, didn’t think so either.

      Why would Hamas apologize? This helps them further radicalize Palestinians and their supporters abroad. Remember, Hamas has no issue using Palestinians as meat shields.

        Yeah seriously. I’m not going to act like Israel is the good guy here, but there’d be zero benefit to them for attacking a hospital while the PR nightmare of such a view would be hugely beneficial to Hamas.

        A whole lot of major new organizations (looking at you, New York Times) ran headlines like “Israel destroys Gaza hospital, killing 500” without doing an ounce of independent fact checking.

        Maybe this is asking for too much, but I don’t think the New York Times should be blindly repeating things they hear from a literal terrorist organization (or any government involved, for that matter)

        You consider the UN, that denounced Israel as the supposed attacker of this hospital a terrorist organization?
