Paddy Cosgrave of Web Summit fame had this to say on Twitter:

Quote"I'm shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland's government, who for once are doing the right thing,

War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are."

Multiple tech firms pulled out of the conference, some saying they'll never do business with him again. He's been forced into retracting the comments and apologising.

From Canada (I don't know what these acronyms mean):

QuoteHamilton Centre NDP MPP Sarah Jama is apologizing after making a statement about the conflict between Hamas and Israel in which she voiced her support for the people of Gaza.

Her apology comes after Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for Jama's resignation and Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles called for her to retract the remarks.

Her remarks:

"The news coming out of Israel and Palestine is deeply concerning" and called for an immediate ceasefire, as well as an "end to all occupation of Palestinian land."

Her original statement focused largely on the Palestinian territories, saying "violence and retaliation rooted in settler colonialism have taken the lives of far too many innocent people."

If any of you think that bomb in hospital was an Hamas rocket then there is no hope for you.

Some restaurant owner had this to say:

Quote"The More Utterly Repugnant The Facts, The Greater The Responsibility Becomes To Listen To The Other Side."

He was immediately set upon with boycott threats from pro-Israeli groups, and forced to apologise and delete his comments.

I have no idea if this video is of Gaza or is from today, but if its accurate, then looks like a rocket fired from Palestine that failed

Hey everyone

Here's a video

I've added some text

Being in possession of neither data nor expertise,  I actually haven't a f**king scooby doo whether it shows what I say it shows

But I'll say it anyway

Seems like the "40 beheaded babies" story was BS all along. Shame the retractions won't get as much prominence as the initial story. The myth is now out there for all time.

Samira Nasr, editor of Harper's Bazaar, had this to say:

QuoteCutting off water and electricity to 2.2 million civilians ... This is the most inhuman thing I've seen in my life

She's now fighting for her job and apologising left right and centre.

When I heard of this blast I certainly thought such a thing was possible, on the basis that the Israelis would not do this the day before Biden visits, as it would not suit the propoganda. But no Hamas rocket has even killed anywhere near 500 people, so I await some further information.


I wouldn't rule anything out, rockets are firing from all sides but Israels media posting are all over the place, quite a few edits and deletions and changing narrative, they asked for an evacuation of the hosipital, we hit Hamas at the hospital,  it was Hamas, it was PIJ.

As you state any rocket I have ever seen that landed in Israel has not come near causing that much damage.  Israel has long history of burying the truth too.

U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington Democrat and the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has had to apologise for saying that Israel is a racist state.

Has a Hamas rocket ever hit a target with hundreds of people crowded into a small area?
I think the death toll has more to do with the target than the size of the rocket.

Just out of interest, are there any everyday  products grown/manufactured in Israel, that I need to  avoid?

The world needs to  shun and boycott  anything  that comes from there.

It won't stop the  warmongering bastids , but  ordinary people need to  do something

I doubt any of us one here is an expert. Rocket fire from Hamas etc. that I have seen don't have huge explosions like the hospital explosion on impact. their spokesperson saying they targeted hamas in the hospital and the deleting it says a lot but maybe not it all..

BDS is a good place to get a list to boycott,
