This contains some new (for me) information, namely that the walls surrounding the impact crater show signs of impact from fragmentation explosive devices. This, to me, completely rules out the possibility that a Hamas or whatever rocket fell on the hospital grounds, as their rockets do not have this feature and therefore would not have killed more than a handful of people in the immediate location where the rocket struck. It also rules out the use of a thermobaric warhead, which also doesn't use fragmentation bits and high explosives.

Also, when one side warns about it, has a history of doing it, gloats about it then deletes said gloats and publishes lies instead, then deletes those and publishes more lies then deletes those and publishes other lies...

Yeah...

The terrorist state did a terrorist thing.

This isn't a debate. This is a rhetorical exercise.

It's like debating whether the US is behind the Nordstream pipeline bombing.

Yes, it is. Next question? Is Santa real? No, he isn't. Is there a god? No there isn't. Is there a tooth fairy? No there isn't. Is Israel behind the hospital bombing? Yes, it is. Just as it was behind every single bombing over this area for the past nearly 8 decades.

Exactly what I was thinking. Opportunity, motive, history of similar terrorist attacks, and use of gaslighting to shift blame to the victims. And the same people will deny both, because they're part of the gaslighting operation.

I've been mostly avoiding / passing over the very heated discussion online about the source of the strike on the Al-Ahli hospital. However when Ritter decides to make comment on the matter I pay attention, as he is very experienced in this kind of analysis. In this article he presents a theory (and only a theory) of what may have actually happened, based on what seems to me at least to be quite insightful and detailed analysis.
