    Sooooo what’s the excuse this time, Israel?

    Hamas is in a school?

    The camera looked like a bazooka in the drone’s camera?

    Reporting on events is Hamas activity?

      They just recently killed three of their hostages, mistakenly identifying them as a threat.

      Netanyahu said this was an unbearable tragedy, but I can’t stop wondering if they misidentified three of their own, how many civilian Gazans were targeted “mistakenly”. And if the death of three is unbearable, how would they describe the deaths of tens of thousands?

        The soldiers saw some (unarmed, shirtless) people and one of them immediately said “terrorists!”. That’s the level of analysis that’s going on when making kill decisions here.

        Ugh, ToI is such pro-genocide garbage! They’re as reliable on the conflict as The Daily Mail is about…well, anything except perhaps sports scores…

            This is why I’m suspicious of any group that purports to tell you everyone’s biases. Wouldn’t that be a great racket for propagandist to be in? And what would stop them?

            Just because it calls itself that doesn’t mean that it’s always right. Fact checkers have biases too, as do (somewhat ironically) bias researchers.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa and correspondent Wael Dahdouh had gone to the school in the southern city of Khan Younis after it was hit by a strike earlier in the day.

    Speaking from a hospital bed, Dahdouh told Al Jazeera he was able to flee, bleeding, from the school and found several ambulance workers.

    Later that evening, Al Jazeera reported that an ambulance tried to reach the school to evacuate Abu Daqqa, but it had to turn back because roads were blocked by the rubble of destroyed houses.

    Ambassador Riyad Mansour told a General Assembly meeting on the war that Israel “targets those who could document (their) crimes and inform the world, the journalists.”

    “We mourn one of those journalists, Samer Abu Daqqa, wounded in an Israeli drone strike and left to bleed to death for 6 hours while ambulances were prevented from reaching him,” Mansour said.

    In late October, Dahdouh’s wife, son, daughter and grandchild were killed in a strike on the home where they were sheltering in central Gaza.
