That is the LHD - 5 USS Bataan. If you Google it that pick pops up.

Been deployed on LHAs and LHDs for MEUs (helo companies both times)

at this point its not even for thinking differently. Its just for existing. Im willing to bet there were quite a few muslims killed in that attack just becuase those terrorists thought they were jewish.


There were over 40 Israeli Arab citizens killed on Oct 7th. Plus the poor Philippino and Bangladeshi workers (the guy that they tried to decapitate with a hoe looked like a worker)

It’s a legit question, why would somebody DV it?

The easiest and best quote to define this situation is :

If Palestine laid down their weapons, there would be peace

If Israel laid down their weapons, there would be no more Israel

CNN.....THAT CNN... ran a Hamas video, taken from a camera found on a dead terrorist, showing a terrorist asking "where are all the children? " Set up a map of the Middle East. Color all the Arab countries red. Then color Israel blue. Common sense: " who would be stupid to attack what country/ies"? This goes all the way back to 1948. Is this enough context for you?

Hmmm, interesting.

So if your neighbor kills someone, you don't ask him "why"?

What if he says, "because he kept killing my babies"?

What if he says, "because he put my babies in pen"?

And then he says, "what would you do?"

You don't care? Does that interfere with your "easy" narrative?
So a serial killer kills your children or loved ones...

The prosecuter says he was abused as a child so even though you didn't do it personally, he was provoked by that abuse and can't help himself. So he lets him go.

The reason why or the provocation or the trigger of why the serial killer killed is not germane to justice. Only the action he chose to do. Every criminal has some sort of self-justification for why they did what they did.

And in the case of this particular aktion on Oct. 7th, if they are just trying to shake off the shackles of Israeli oppression- why go after, specifically and intentionally, so many civilians.

Now, if you just want to kill Jews with no particular political outcome and damn the consequences to the people you purport to represent, to just satisfy your bloodlust against a single nation-religion- then the aktion on Oct. 7th makes perfect sense. Bloodlust is bloodlust, no post-murder justification is reasonable.

First reports came out a bit ago that Israel had hit a hospital possibly killing 200-300 and injury many more.

Upon further review:

@IsraelWarRoom
quote:

#BREAKING: Reports suggest that the mass casualty event at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City was the result of a misfired rocket launch by Hamas.

No IDF air activity was reported at the time and the timing coincided with a salvo of rockets launched at Israel.

Reminder: 30-40% of Hamas' rockets misfire and land short in the Gaza Strip.

@IsraelWarRoom
This is reportedly the rocket that hit the hospital:

Its going to be interesting when they start running out of munitions. All this home made shite they have left could kill them all.

yep, of course, the Arab world and those with their heads in the sand will assume that Israel did it.

@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.

As many eyes as there are in that region, it should be pretty easy to ID who is responsible.

Israel knows they are walking on eggshells as far as world opinion goes. It doesn't make sense for them to deliberately hit a hospital. You have to ask yourself, who would benefit most from such an attack?

Supposedly more video of the rocket hitting the hospital:

quote:

First clear footage from the Al Ahli tragedy in Gaza, but what do you notice?
this is a surface explosion, almost no soil is thrown up, so it's not an air bomb.
Looks like a failed Hamas rocket that landed there, what a tragedy has Hamas brought to the people of Gaza!
