It wasn’t Al Shifa hospital.
But I’m not sure of your point regardless. War is a collection of incidents. Of course the most noteworthy are going to tell the story of this one. That’s the same with any war in the history of the world. And it is very much correct. Name a war that is not characterized by the collection of noteworthy moments in it. Hell, name one side in a war whose role in the war isn’t summed up with a collection of noteworthy moments.
If the issue is people taking one side at their word, then a far greater number of people than what you have in your heard are guilty of that. If that issue is misinformation, then hell, Al-Ahli is one of a hundred examples. We have people still talking about the UNRWA like it’s everything Israel said it was… but it’s been just as debunked as the Al-Ahli rocket. There’s issues of murky truth where people pick one side even though it’s pretty hard to know best. And then there’s issues where the truth seems to be irrelevant, where people pick an angle that aligns with their own narrative with nothing to back it up. Hell, some people were suggesting Al Shifa was still operational and that the World Kitchen vehicles were taken over by terrorists… even though all the evidence debunked those things from the start… (know anybody like that?)
Instead of pretending to be baffled because everyone is just criticising the Israeli government based on Hamas propaganda, why don’t you actually lay out the “clear and valid” criticisms available to everyone?
What are we allowed to criticize?
I actually want to know, because you’ve spent the majority of your time rejecting every single criticism or just saying “yeah but Palestinians…” so maybe it’d be easier if you laid out what is valid.
