President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren't behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

I've seen more people blaming muslim/palestine for this war and say they deserved it than people blaming jews instead of the zionist for causing this war. You all really like to use jew as a criticism shield don't you.

Have you been on the internet in the past week? Sure politicians and newspapers are generally more towards that kind of statement but Lemmy and Twitter are basically flooded with solidarity with Palestine and yesterday I saw multiple threads about this incident with sources that claimed it was Israel which had people being all "of course they would do that" and if the article was about Israel denying involvement the most comments were not believing that.

Some people started spraying stars of David on houses where Jews live in Berlin yesterday and another person threw a Molotov at a synagogue.

There is a shitton of anti-zionist rhetoric out there which fluently merges with anti-semitism

While i acknowledge there's extremist out there and neo nazi joining the fray, and you should acknowledge that the call to violence by Israeli government is indirectly causing the fatal stabbing of a kid and his mother, the thing is, i don't see anything anti-semitism on the post you're talking? All they were doing is doubting the word of Israeli Government because they lied, lied, lied, and lied, but i never see this sort of comment hurling at all Jew, it's only the "other side" that keep bringing jew in whenever israel is being criticised.

Well i wouldn't say "never", but close.

I don't see Jews giving out candy and celebrating on the street when Palestinians are killed. But that's what is happening here in Germany when Hamas kill and kidnap Israelis. Some Palestinians and their supporters celebrate this.

That is because it's not a war between Jew and Palestinian, it's a war between Israel and Palestine, and Israeli are the one celebrating when Palestinian are killed.

Confused? Don't be, just ask yourself why it's always have to lump all Jewish people together when people merely criticising Israel(the government), but when talking about Palestine it's only on to Palestinian(which it should be) .

I don't heard about any celebrations of Jews or Israelis because of the bombings. I am sure you can post some links?

Here are Muslims and/or Palestinians and/or pro-Palestine-protestors celebrating the attack on Israel:

There is more, these are just the first I could find from Germany.

Ohh right before i forgot, and i know it's irrelevant to the point i'm making, but here you go

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc -2 points 1 year ago

I'm not even talking about the celebration.
