This makes no sense to me. There's people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that's fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.

            I haven't given an opinion on your stuff. I just told you what instance davel was from. So...your point doesn't really have legs yet.

              Up untill Davel, every single user I got a reply from relating to stuff I said on that thread was either a Hexbear or Lemmygrad user and every user since Davel has been aswell.

                What you said was that they were "coming after you"

                I'm just making the point of stating that my conversation with you has not been "aggressive" nor has it mentioned the topic at hand. And I'm from hexbear.

                  I just mean that usually when I say something controversial, the people arguing against that are from all over the place, but in this case the opposition seems to be coming from these two instances almost exclusively. Even in this thread, that's been posted on lemmy.ml there's still a disproportionate amount of Hexbear users replying. I can't say for certain, but it sure feels like they're looking for me rather than just stumbling across this post.

                      That still doesn't explain the disproportionate amount of replies from Hexbear and Lemmygrad users. You should see my inbox.

                        We care about this sort of stuff. More than non-bear/grad users judging by the replies you are recieving.

                        We like to stick up for each other. It's a shame your community doesn't have that.

                              Well not really. Mostly people are just being mean and/or saying I'm wrong but no one is trying to change my mind. When I made the first post that got me banned I had just woken up and had only skimmed thru the news, but the more time passes and I look into it the more comfortable I feel with my original conclusion. At the moment it seems almost certain that it indeed was a malfuncioning Hamas rocket shot from Gaza strip and there's plenty video evidence to back that up.

                                How big do you think Hamas rockets are? I assure you they aren't capable of flattening a hospital.

                                And that video could be anywhere.

                                  You can see my other reply. The hospital is still very much intact because the rocket luckily didn't hit the building but a parking lot. As you said; Hamas rockets aren't capable of flattening a building. If it was JDAM there would be a 15 meter crater on the ground.

As you said; Hamas rockets aren’t capable of flattening a building. If it was JDAM there would be a 15 meter crater on the ground.

                                  If it was JDAM then where are the pictures of the leveled hospital/crater? Where are the pictures of 500 dead people? That's A-grade propaganda material for Hamas so why isn't it all over the internet? All I'm seeing is this picture which judging by the fence and tree is from outside aswell as this with a matching fence, couple burnt cars and some damaged roofing tiles. Ofcourse there's also the video posted by IDF of aerial footage which matches that picture from the parking lot and shows a very much intanct hospital building.

                                  EDIT: Here's a video from that same parking lot. I wonder why they aren't filmin the leveled hospital instead.

                                  EDIT2: Well here's some dead bodies aswell. Not sure if it's related to the same incident, but atleast it's something. Be aware, VERY DISTURBING footage.

                            Proof you haven't even done the first iota of investigation into the federations you talk the MOST shit about; as if you did, you'd see half the time we're locking horns with each other over who's got the materially correct line. No investigation, no right to speech.

                        We're active in political threads since we're both explicitly leftist instances (grad is ML, Hexbear is leftist of different stripes). Hexbear doesn't have down votes so if we see something we disagree with, we say something. There's not really a 'downvote and move on' mentality, so you're likely to get multiple users replying to a post.

    because it is at best a crank conspiracy theory.

    [and yes you should do it]

    and yes bombing hospitals does make sense, Israel has done it in the past. In fact, the same hospital was 'warning' bombed just 2 days ago

    https://avh.org/content/news-and-events/gaza-hospital-hit-by-israeli-rockets-urgent-evacuation-ordered.html

    October 15th:

    Yesterday, at 7:00 PM, Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which is our partner in the Diagnostic Cancer Treatment Center, was hit by two Israeli rockets. Fortunately, the extent of the damage was limited.

    Today, the hospital has received orders from Israeli authorities to evacuate the facility, including patients, staff, and 3,000 Gazan people who have sought shelter within the hospital's premises.

    We call the international community and all humanitarian organizations to take action to prevent the evacuation orders for Al Ahli Arab Hospital and the other 22 hospital, as this action poses a significant risk to the lives of numerous patients.

    here is a 2014 article regarding Israel bombing hospitals

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/07/israelgaza-attacks-medical-facilities-and-civilians-add-war-crime-allegations/

    The third floor of the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah was struck by Israeli shelling, killing four people and wounding dozens, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson.

    “Today’s attack on the Al-Aqsa hospital is the latest in a series of attacks on and near medical facilities in Gaza, which have been struggling to cope with thousands of injured people since the Israeli offensive began on 8 July,” said Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International.

      Blindingly obvious to everyone else except me, apparently.

      Please educate me. I believe I've laid out my argument quite clearly. What is it that I'm wrong about exactly and what are you basing that on?

      • CascadeOfLight [he/him]

        The argument for it being Israel:

        • Israel has complete air superiority
        • Israel is conducting a bombing campaign against Gaza
        • Israel has threatened to attack hospitals
        • Israel has previously bombed hospitals
        • Israel has previously bombed this exact hospital
        • The audio and visual characteristics of the bomb and the damage caused (captured by multiple, independent observers) match with a JDAM guided bomb, which Israel has already used
        • Israeli sources first claimed the hospital was a Hamas base or had Hamas tunnels or arms caches, before rapidly rolling back their position to "we didn't do it"
        • It is clearly in Israel's interest to kill Palestinians and destroy Palestinian infrastructure, especially medical services and supplies, because they are conducting a genocide

        The argument for it being Hamas:

        • Israel says it was

        Reddit, or rather reddit-logo, is controlled by the US security state, so r/combatfootage - which banned all combat footage from Palestinian viewpoints - is not a reliable source. The idea that a 'rocket piece' could accidentally fall on a hospital and kill 500 people (a number reported by a first-hand MSF witness) is laughably absurd. If a Hamas rocket could cause this kind of damage, Tel Aviv would look like the surface of the fucking moon. It was OBVIOUSLY another genocidal act by the entity continuously and overtly engaged in genocidal acts. To think otherwise requires you to want to fall for their propaganda. No one in full possession of their faculties looking at the facts dispassionately could possibly conclude it was anything else.

      I'm well aware of that. It's the reason I'm on Lemmy on the first place. I love a good, long debate but I still try and be polite and listen to the counter-arguments and engage with what people are saying instead of attacking them as a person.
