No, all over a photo op for Biden’s flagging campaign that has turned into a PR and diplomatic debacle.

Given Biden’s increasing mental and physical decline, it’s probably a good thing that he’s not going.

Either he or his entourage would make promises to the Arabs that would be to the detriment of Israel.

Now unfortunately, Anthony Blinken will be running this. Though Blinken may mentally be more agile than Biden, his answers are anything but right for Israel.

The Middle East is a dangerous place to fly. Maybe this is how they get rid of Biden for 2024 AND start the big war the neocons want.

I remember the fiasco of building that monstrosity in the first place, which the people have resented all along.

Palestinians scored a PR victory here. I can’t rule anything out since I don’t know, but they more than likely hit their own hospital, intentionally or by accident because they stage their rocket launches near such places.

I hope Israel has clear evidence either way. But it’s too late the people on the street are enraged. Whether Israel did it or not, it can’t be re-wound. So what does Israel do now? What choice do they have. The war is very likely to expand in hours if not days either way.

I don’t know why Biden was going there anyway... right before the war was about to widen. This is what he has a Sec of State and Sec of Defense to do. His presence now would only endanger him, and obviously he is not welcome. These rulers, even if they know the truth, aren’t going to change the narrative.

This should reveal where Abbas is, and Israel should take out Abbas since he is the head of Hamas.

Jordan also receives a lot of U.S. aid. But they are pretty under the radar when it comes to countries in the ME. I actually like visiting Jordan.

A missile, not a rocket:

And probably because Biden is a huge Iran supporter.

Well I don’t know what weapons they had, but from the videos I saw a lot of tracer flares from a short burst of projectiles. Those could indeed be missiles in some sort of array or battery, but the Hamas generally shoots rockets - basically just steel cans filled with fuel and no guidance systems which sort of defines the difference between a rocket and a missile. I think of them like a string of bottle rockets with one long fuse igniting them in series (though that’s a very rough analogy) so they fire off in a series and gives the shooter time to run away before they fire.

And without guidance systems and without quality control builds and unpredictable amounts of fuel, fuel distribution, thrust and angle projections, it’s expected some of them will be quite erratic and land in unpredictable places or just blow up on the launch pad.

This was reported later to have been Palestinian Islamic Jihad, not Hamas, so maybe they have more sophisticated weapons systems smuggled in - missiles, vs rockets. In that case though it should have been more predictable. I would not rule out an intentional strike for PR purposes. It looks like it hit a parking lot, not the hospital itself... so maybe the entire thing is a PR ploy. But as I said they won the PR game early on since their narrative hit the wires first and the mass media ran with it as an “Israeli strike” which set off protests in the region.
