🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel’s own Digital Spokesperson appointed by Netanyahu himself literally admitted to bombing the hospital and then deleted it a few minutes later.

🇩🇪🇮🇱 I didn’t realize the “right to defend itself” gave Israel the right to murder hundreds of innocent civilians, but it’s nice to know exactly where Germany stands on matters of morality. Remember this the next time they try to lecture anyone else on the subject.

What an absolutely disgusting individual.

📝 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 "Israel is acting like they want to escalate this into an all or nothing showdown with their daddy in the gulf ready to back them up. Now or never type stuff"

Sword Mercury:
"That is exactly what is going on. I think there was a legitimate fear that the visit of president Biden would come with a very concerted American effort to strong-arm Israel into making massive concessions and to de-escalate.

All of that is now a dead letter."

— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 WATCH: Comparison between the sound of a US-made JDAM bomb and the sound of the Al-Ahli Hospital strike in Gaza

The sound matches up exactly. This was an Israeli airstrike using an American-made JDAM bomb, not a stray PIJ rocket.

🇮🇱🇵🇸📝: It was confirmed four days ago that this same hospital was bombed by Israel. So don’t let them pretend they would never do this. As well, Hamas rockets made out of PVC pipe with 20 pound warheads are not realistically blowing up an entire hospital and killing almost 1,000 people. If it was a weapons depot as some Israelis claim, there would not be so many bodies outside without burn marks and secondary explosions would’ve been seen in the videos circulating. Instead, a lot of the bodies we are seeing suggest shrapnel damage and thus are consistent with a JDAM being dropped.

At this point, I really don’t know if the IDF is so diabolically evil they don’t care we know they’re lying or they are so incompetent they fail to realize their cover story falls apart under the barest of critical thinking.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Statement by the Archbishop of Canterbury, on October 15 (Two days ago):

Hospitals and patients in Gaza are in grave danger. The seriously ill and injured patients at the Anglican-run Ahli Hospital - and other healthcare facilities in northern Gaza - cannot be safely evacuated. They are running low on medical supplies. They are facing catastrophe. 

The Ahli Hospital was hit by Israeli rocket fire last night, with four staff injured in the blast. Other hospitals have also been hit. 

I appeal for the evacuation order on hospitals in northern Gaza to be reversed - and for health facilities, health workers, patients and civilians to be protected.

🇹🇷🇺🇲 They write that in Turkey people are storming the American military base Kyurechik in the city of Malatya.

🇹🇷🇮🇱 The latest issue of the leading Turkish newspaper Yeni Şafak:

"The terrorist state of Israel must be destroyed."

🇵🇸🇮🇱 When one lie serves to cover up another lie, the result is an absurd pile of lies.
