Oh, if we could just return to the halcyon days when we were all submersible watercraft experts.

Both sides are lying, and I donât see any way that some rando like me on the other side of the Earth has any reasonable expectation of knowing the truth.

Things seem a lot clearer to me today. My major objection to the video yesterday, which appeared to show a connection between a rocket failure and the explosion, was âhow would a rocket be able to destroy a major buildingâ. For some reason, the explanation âno major building was in fact destroyedâ never occurred to me. I think itâs because the explosion looked quite large, but this is silly as impressive-looking fireballs donât necessarily mean powerful explosions.
Thereâs a Twitter thread here with some footage from a mosque which was bombed by the Israelis. This is what the result of an airstrike looks like. It doesnât look like a few burnt-out cars, a tiny crater and largely intact buildings.
Josh Marshall has a pretty good piece on this. I also enjoyed this:
Various parts of the left have not acquitted themselves well here.

Any particular reason why they have decided against removing these?
Dunno, but itâs refreshing to see disinformation on behalf of the Palestinians to help balance out disinformation on behalf of Israel.
This is one of those issues where everyone gets to create their own reality.

This is in response to the Jewish protest at the capital. Im terrible at my logic but arenât the photo inverse of white supremists black supremists?
Im assuming he means to say self hating jews but knows of you say that youâll automatically be dismissed
White supremacists hate Jews so I have no clue wtf he is trying to say.
Hereâs the Channel 4 dispatch on the hospital bombing. Points out that Israel does have munitions that could cause a small crater and less damage that they could have used and IDFâs explanations for what happened donât seem to fit what happened or seem fabricated like the phone call intercept, but a misfired rocket is certainly plausible if not more than likely and Hamas says the have the Israeli warhead but magically havenât presented it either.

Israel dropped 6000 bombs in the first 6 days. If the goal was to destroy the hospital, wouldnât it be destroyed?
Could be they were aiming for an orphanage and hit the hospital by accident.

Not too impressed with this piece. This âairburst munitionâ thing is just him parroting the latest thing spreading on Twitter. As far as Iâm aware this also does not fit the facts at all. For example, there are no shrapnel holes in the roofs of the cars, and the surrounding palm trees are undamaged. If they have an expert who will say otherwise, they should present them, but Iâm pretty sure it is just Twitter bullshit.
I have no idea about the Hamas recording obviously, I donât really care about that. Iâd rather rely on what I can actually see on the site than on what the IDF or Hamas have to say.
Obviously, a PIJ rocket and an Israeli rocket collided in the air right over the hospital and fell on it, the fusilli Jerry of rocket attacks.

Seems more reasonable assessment based on the evidence so far.
