Do we really need another IDF investigation where they say they did nothing wrong?
Yeah, Israeli investigations are a literal joke at this point.
Independent international investigation might be better. Not that this particular case is some tough nut to crack.
“Mounting pressure”, much like “condemnation”, means absolutely nothing. Isreal will continue to whatever the hell they want and with immunity because western nations are so desperate for a middle eastern ally.
It’s the equivalent of all of those tantalizing headlines we’ve seen about Trump supposedly getting his comeuppance over the last eight years.
At some point you just have to accept the fact that they’re selling clicks and nothing is going to change.
There were tunnels. The aid delivery contained smuggled weaponry. Hamas fighters were seen nearby. They ignored warnings not to proceed. Someone threw a stone.
Pick one or multiple at random. There won’t be any repercussions anyway. Oh boy, I wonder how Gazans grew so resentful.
There were tunnels.
You mean these?
Amid widespread condemnation about Israel’s targeting of the hospital, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked Barak if the IDF and the Israeli government had done a “good enough job of proving their claim” that there was a “major” Hamas command center and bunker under Shifa.
Barak replied “It’s already been known for many years that they have a bunker that originally was built by Israeli constructors underneath Shifa,” which was used as a “command post” for Hamas and as a “junction of several tunnels”
“When you say it was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak?” asked Amanpour.
Barak, who was Israel’s prime minister from 1999 to 2001, responded, “decades ago, we were running the place, so we helped them.” The Gaza Strip has been controlled by Hamas since 2007.
“It was many decades ago…that we helped them build these bunkers in order to enable more space for the operation of the hospital within the very limited size of these compounds.”
