Fetterman calls rush to blame Israel for hospital blast ‘disturbing’

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleagues’ quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza “disturbing” in a statement Wednesday.
“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,” Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Yes its a real leap to link the people carpet bombing the area with a hospital being bombed.
They're being very indiscriminate and almost certainly committing a copious amount of war crimes, but what they are doing is not carpet bombing. If it was, there would be nothing left of Gaza by now, and one particular building being bombed would not be noteworthy.
They had actually stopped their air raids before this happened. I am not saying they aren't going to bomb more but I am pointing out that people jumped to point the finger suspiciously fast.
Fucking for real. They've done shit like this before. Before this current war. Maybe the thing people should be disturbed about, is that Israel is so well known for these types of war crimes, that they're the first one everyone thinks of when it happens.
Here's the available evidence of what happened at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza
Maybe I’m crazy, but the series of events seems incredibly obvious from the videos linked in that article. A rocket is fired from a position far away from the hospital that seems typical of the ones used by Hamas. Israel intercepted it above the hospital and it broke apart. The explodey bit fell out of the sky and landed near the hospital, making a big boom and killing people.
This is what happens when you hurl deadly explosives at each other over densely populated areas. Everyone sucks here.
I think it's the missile failing and breaking apart, I don't think interceptor missiles would be able to meet them so soon after launch
The group defending themselves from missile attacks assumes no blame here. That's straight up victim blaming.
Just to be clear, I’m not trying to blame anyone. I’m saying it seems pretty clear that neither side intended to hit the hospital.
Russia did not intend to blow a civilian plane out of the sky when they first invaded Ukraine either.
I don't think Hamas did this intentional but they certainly tried to blame it on Israel.
???
Yes, both sides are waging a war in an area densely populated with civilians, and innocent people are dying. Everyone sucks here, as is often the case in war.
The people who did not start the war are not to blame for the war.
This is like saying Ukraine should be trading land for peace talks
If blood libel was true, would it have justified the shoa?
Ok. You know that is a complete lie when you say carpet bombing. But I suppose that is ok to lie. Are you a republican in that your fine with their lies?
