U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas and saying that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital appeared to have been caused not by Israel but by its foes.[…]
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”[…]
Netanyahu thanked Biden for his “unequivocal support”. President Isaac Herzog’s office said the head of state had told Biden: “God bless you for protecting the nation of Israel.”

I don’t usually talk about Israel/Palestine, but as an Israeli citizen who doesn’t support genocide, I need to speak out.
We’re seeing, on a massive scale, news websites release articles saying “Israel bombs hospital in Gaza” and revising it to “Israel, Hamas trade blame for hospital bombing in Gaza”. Every single news site is doing the same thing.

Business Insider, original headline: Hamas says Israeli forces bombed a hospital and killed hundreds of people. The UN has documented dozens of other attacks on healthcare in Gaza.“ New headline:

Every single news site is changing their headlines, but instead of admitting the correction as is done in every single other instance of this updating, they are acting as if this was always their headline. Note the repeated use of "Hamas and Israel trade blame” in the new headlines. This is the power the Israeli military has over the news, the control the US government exerts over every outlet, and the proof there is no unbiased reporting on Israel/Palestine. Our only accurate source is the civilian journalists being killed in Gaza and having their access to the outside world cut off.
(Before this is reposted and I am accused of being a self-hating Israeli citizen and Jew, I need Zionists to understand that the US military is not Judaism, and making the leap from “the US government exerts control over a lot of media” to “Jews control the media” shows more about you than me.)

israel just bombed a hospital in gaza, hundreds killed…
from aljazeera:
and here you have the BBC manufacturing consent for israel’s war crimes not even 24 hours prior:
if you believe what israel is now saying, that this was a ‘failed rocked lunch’ by hamas, then i think you’re beyond saving.
this isn’t the first time israel has bombed a hospital; it’s not even the first time they’ve bombed THIS hospital
