There are plenty of people here you can't have a conversation with. Ciggy is not one of them, sir. So please spare us the jjuvenile and baseless name calling.
Hundreds feared dead in strike on Gaza hospital
- Thread starter cigaretteman
- Start date
The first paragraph of AP’s first story:
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — A massive blast rocked a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter Tuesday, killing hundreds of people, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military blamed a rocket misfired by other Palestinian militants.
This was a factual statement presented in the way a good journalist would do it.
That's their updated headline

I might be confusing them with the NYT though...

Lol. You realize the bombing occurred on the 16, so that update to the story was the next day. You are determined to assume AP reported Hamas propaganda as facts, and will not be persuaded by the objective truth.
It seems you, as with most conservatives today, subscribe to a faith-based political philosophy.
The immediate reporting contributed to massive protests throughout the region.
How the Media Got the Hospital Explosion Wrong
Amplifying dubious Hamas claims caused real damage. No wonder public trust in news reporting is so low.

So you are rationalizing that its ok for Israel to take land away from Palestinians - not Hamas but Palestinians, because Palestinians are under the rule of Hamas?
All actions are horrible. Taking 200 people and killing 1400 by Hamas. Isreal killing 3700 including another 1000 unaccounted for, plus over 1,000,000 palestineans displaced for almost 2 weeks is horrible. Hamas instigated this specific event I fully agree. However, when is Israel going to agree to peace, and allow them to come back? Whats the end game, what can Israel truly do?

The immediate reporting served its intended purpose quite well: slow things down on the ground.The immediate reporting contributed to massive protests throughout the region.

Hamas/Palestinians declared war on Israel and invaded Israel, killed civilians and took hostages. When you declare war on someone, be prepared for war. That's what we did on 9/11. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and Gaza will remain a terrorist state until hamas is terminated. I hoping that Israel is able to get in and totally get rid of hamas so that there will be peace in the future. The U.S. has invaded multiple countries because of terrorist activity in order to try and eliminate the terrorists. Israel just doing the same thing the U.S. did. Maybe Israel can do what should have been done a long time ago by others, and that's get rid of hamas.
