If it was any other West Asian country doing this, the entire West would be denouncing them and taking action. But because its Israel doing it, this is fine.

the toxic sludge of racism + Islamophobia = support and empowerment for Israel to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians.

Well, Israel is bound by international
The entire issue here is that they aren't. They are openly committing war crimes in breach of international conventions and none of the self-appointed guardians of democracy in the West seem to be batting an eye.

Israel is bound by international law
Has anyone informed Israel of this?

I read there was a protest on London recently

What Hamas did was horrible, a terrorist attack and atrocity for sure, but we're watching an actual genocide and half of the world is cheering it on. I feel like I'm talking crazy pills. What the fuck is wrong with people and what can we do to stop this?!?
-
What else was Hamas supposed to do? In your opinion, what options do they have?

They should’ve peacefully marched and protested!
…. Like they did in 2018 and got brutally shot down by the dozens of thousands, with thousands of dead and more than 10 times that maimed for life with their knees destroyed, intentionally, by IDF soldiers as they laughed? When they marched peacefully towards the walls and barriers, making their concerns heard in protests and absolutely nothing got better and no one cared?
In any case, we all know everything we’ve ever achieved was done through peaceful protest. Like the civil rights movement! MLK made some speeches and the white bourgeoisie felt bad and changed all the laws.
Don’t look into how MLK was murdered and there was mass protest and revolt with plenty of violence before any changes ever happened…

This is a bullshit excuse for violence against innocent bystanders. You can (and Israel supporters DO) apply this exact same argument to Israel: "And what exactly SHOULD they do about HAMAS, Mr. Smarty-pants, just let terrorists run pel mel, unpunished?"
I don't have an affirmative answer; if I did I'd be happy to collect my Nobel peace prize. What I do have is the understanding that "but you just don't understand, it's justified when WE do it" is a giant crock of shit, and it's the lie that every oppressor through the ages (including Israel) has told themselves.
Edit: Other countries need to step up their game. It's plain to see what's happening in Palestine, even with the internet and electricity blackouts imposed there, so one can only imagine how much worse it really is. The US and others need to step up and denounce this shit, tell Israel to go to the bargaining table for real or they're off the teat for good.
-
Don’t you see! You can challenge your oppressors with peace and forgiveness!
Dorky ass motherfuckers who wouldn’t last a single day under the Israeli foot.

i've given up caring about it edit: i should've clarified myself. i do wish the best for people that are affected by this "war" (idk what to call it) but i've simply given up caring about who wins or what happens on any war or attack. in the end it's people dying and that makes me sad so i simply try not to care about anything like this

US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel's “right and duty” to defend itself.

Some nerd reported the post suggesting that maybe it was a Palestinian air strike. LMAO
-
Israel is claiming that some rockets launched by Hamas towards Israel went off course and hit the hospital.
I remember Russia staging a "Ukrainian missle attack", but they were so bad at it that the damage was on the side of buildings facing away from Ukraine. Should be pretty easy to check that here too...

The hospitals are packed with children. Holy shit.
-
Hasan called this yesterday. Of course he was right
-
In the case of the IDF,
lightning strikesbombs strike the same place twice
-
-
I don't understand a lot about this conflict but surely there can be no justification for this. Those poor people
-
-
Turns out it was the IJ, and the IDF has miles of receipts. The hosptial itself wasnt even hit.
-
Latest news out of Israel is that they believe it was a Jihad Islamist group that launched the rocket from within Israel.
-
If I had a rocket that could kill a thousand people in a single strike, I would use it on an actual military target. Maybe that's just me though.
-
If there were munitions or explosives stored at the hospital, it could cause that.
I'm not saying the IAF didn't do this, but that rocket artillery does fail, and Hamas does use a lot of different soft targets to store supplies. So it's possible that a failed rocket detonated a munition stockpile.
It's also possible that this was an IAF strike, either out of pure genocidal intent, or a targeting munition depot.*
Or... Or...
We just have to wait and see for further evidence and information for proper attribution.
Regardless, a lot of innocent people just died, and a lot more are going to.
*Even if it was used to store munitions, I don't believe that would morally justify an IAF strike, even if would make it "legitimate" (legal) military target.
-
Current news seems to show it as a failed rocket launched from within Gaza.
Edit: news coming in fast. Probably best to wait until tomorrow. Might be rockets from Gaza damaged / intercepted by Israeli defense.

And then after you had everything planned out the rocket had a malfunction or you realized you made a stupid mistake and the rocket only managed to to fly 2km in the wrong direction
-
-
We can only hope the rocket wasn’t intended to hit a hospital, but it doesn’t get much better in any case.

Gotta love how they told people to go south then bombed them there, as well as hospitals. And they can just say every target, no matter how many civilians die, was a "Hamas target" and it's "Hamas' responsibility to protect civilians" while they indiscriminately bomb these civilians.
Crazy that more people aren't speaking up against this.
They told people to evacuate and then bombed the evacuation routes.
Israeli spokespersons keep saying they're fighting Nazis, but I only see Nazis on their side of this.
Israel taking a page out of Putin's playbook
Once Palestinians starteing evacuating North Gaza, Israel bombed the humanitarian corridor that they'd declared as safe.
Russia did the same to Ukrainians last year and EU & NATO & UN supported Ukraine. Now they support Israel.
I swear to God, I can’t name another country that takes such little criticism ever in the MSM other than Israel.
A fucking hospital ffs.
Their WW2 guilt trip game be strong.
For many it's the sunk cost fallacy.
They've rhetorically, unreservedly supported Israel for half a century, and they will not be reexamining those intransigent beliefs today, thank you very much.

Bonnie: I will not change my mind.
The Doctor: Then you will die stupid."
-Steven Moffat, excerpt from Doctor Who
The other option is supporting a "government" that is not only unwilling to talk, not only is labeled internationally as a terrorist organization, but also lists the murder of all Jews as part of their charter.
Hamas car bombed the evacuation route killing many of their own citizens.
