What's this?

It’s an important point though. Even if one thinks the IDF is a raging

Bloodthirsty collection of barbarians, they do not benefit in any way by the destruction of the hospital and all those lives. If they are responsible, it was a tragic mistake.

If they are not, all bets are off. Could have been accidental by Hamas or Islamic jihad. But sending 500 innocent Palestinian souls off to oblivion is of course totally consistent with their strategic goals. It’s a big part of what they’re striving for. This morning of course Iran has already called for the whole region to attack Israel in retaliation. Which is exactly what you’d expect if this entire thing were choreographed.

And I think Z’s completely wrong. All reporting suggests the Palestinians are equipped with all manor of advanced Iranian rockets, and I don’t know who’s concluded none have been used so far in this conflict.
