When we worry about who "actually" bombed the Palestinian hospital, it puts Israel and Palestine on an equal level that does not exist. "Well the Gazan Health Ministry claimed it was the IDF but the IDF says it wasn't them, who's to say who to believe because we don't have conclusive evidence one way or the other?"
Why would I ever believe something the IDF says? Why would I not believe the people fighting for their lives? You're right, there's no conclusive evidence one way or the other, so in the interim, if we're leaning to one side or the other, we need to acknowledge they are not equal sides.
I was also told this is making a snap judgement. I think our one sure bet on earth right now is that the IDF will commit horrible war crimes and lie about it. They've been doing it successfully for decades, literally.
There is no onus on Hamas to prove to us they didn't bomb their own hospital - we should be waiting to hear why Israel thinks they could possibly convince us it wasn't them. Also multiple officials in the Israeli government tweeted responsibility and then deleted their tweets when it looked like they could throw some plausible deniability into the mix for the sake of propaganda. Also the supposed intercepted Hamas conversation about the strike is fake. Also Israel warned Palestinians that they were going to bomb hospitals. Also Israel has been bombing hospitals for the past seven days. Why then do I need to listen to someone who says "no trust me, I'm a bomb expert, that's not how those bombs work"?
The post I read on Al Jazeera says they can't corroborate the footage they got of the bombing because the source can't be contacted since they got it. Lots of factors to that, none that make me say "well, the health ministry must be lying then."
Hamas "is a terrorist organization" because the largest terrorist organization in the world, the US government, labeled them a terrorist organization. They are people trapped in the largest open air prison in the world, fighting for their lives and their freedom. I think conflating what they do as anything even remotely on par with what the IDF has done is an irresponsible way to talk about this ongoing genocide.
Also, it seems clear that people talking about this are interested in a free Palestine, which is why I thought it would be meaningful to engage about the nuance of it, because we are on the same side. But then it devolved into hyperbolic reductions of any point I was trying to make, so I got brain wormed into just word vomiting this post. Sorry, the autism won this one.
