Israel's "Mishaps": Bombing Hospitals and Killing Journalists in Gaza

"Double Tap" Strikes on Hospitals

• 🎯 Israel has reportedly conducted "double tap" strikes on hospitals in Gaza, a tactic where a second strike targets those arriving to help victims of the initial bombing.
• 🏥 Nasser Hospital was hit, resulting in at least 20 deaths, including five journalists from Reuters, AP, and Al Jazeera.

Netanyahu's Response and "Mishaps"

• 🤦‍♂️ Benjamin Netanyahu's office described the incident as a "tragic mishap" and "oopsie," expressing regret while promising an internal investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
• 🤥 The hosts criticize this response, arguing that repeated bombings of hospitals and journalists cannot be mere accidents and suggest Netanyahu may not want hostages released as it would remove his pretext for continued actions.

Targeting of Journalists and Media Reaction

• 🎙️ The Palestinian journalist syndicate condemned the strike as an "open war against free media," reporting over 240 Palestinian journalists killed since October 7th, 2023.
• 📰 The video questions why Western media outlets like The New York Times and CNN are not labeling the events as genocide and criticizes their perceived apologia for Israel's actions.
• 🚫 Israel has barred foreign journalists from Gaza, relying on Palestinian journalists to report from the territory.

Accusations of Deliberate Atrocities

• ⚠️ Max Blumenthal is quoted stating that Israel is deliberately slaughtering courageous journalists to prevent exposure of alleged genocide.
• 🗣️ The hosts express extreme criticism, calling Israel a "satanic state" and questioning the legitimacy of its existence, especially given its actions and U.S. backing.

Western Complicity and Lack of Accountability

• 🇺🇸 The discussion highlights the perceived complicity of Western governments, including the U.S., through continued funding and support for Israel.
• 🤷‍♂️ There is skepticism about whether the public buys Israel's apologies for "mishaps," but the hosts believe the actions will continue due to a lack of genuine accountability from governments.
