The last 10 pages have been a perfect example of this situation and why it likely will never be resolved.

Hamas or other terrorist groups shoot a rocket that hits the hospital.
They come out and blame Israel for it and completely fabricate the number of fatalities.
The media, government officials, posters on CP, people all over the world are quick to blame Israel without knowing any facts other than that a terrorist organization said something.
Outrage happens all over the world. Protests, etc. Breeds more anger and hatred. How dare Israel do something like this!!! See, we all knew they are the bad ones!!!!

Israel almost immediately comes out and says it wasn't them.
Most of the people that were quick to blame Israel don't care. The anger and hate fires keep being stoked. Israel is bad! Evil!

Even Lanny joins the conversation by completely fabricating some kind of stupid story about rocket trajectory and other typical garbage. Laughable to watch happen, and honestly quite pathetic. Like with many others, zero room is left for the possibility that Israel didn't actually do it.

Israel comes out with direct evidence that proves it was a rocket.
Pictures & videos come out proving that the supposed mass casualty event was actually a lie. There was no bomb, 500 people didn't die, and the hospital didn't get destroyed.
US comes out and says the same thing.

And what is the result?

All the people who were wrong don't care about the truth. Don't care about the anger, hate and resentment that they helped make worse. Lanny and his made up posts about rockets that turned out to be literally made up don't actually mean anything on a bigger scale, however we did have media organizations (NYT), members of Congress, multiple Arab nations, etc who were happy to pile on the blame. Damn Israel!

And in the end, it just keeps the hate and anger going. Certainly not towards the terrorist scum that actually you know shot the rocket at the hospital, but towards Israel.

Sad to watch happen, but not surprising, as there is a reason all this just keeps happening over and over again.
