Keith Olbermann Says Biden Can't Go to Israel After it Bombed a Baptist Hospital in Gaza

If you're scrolling through X this afternoon, you've probably heard about 500 children who were killed when an Israeli airstrike blew up a Baptist hospital in the Gaza Strip. Or, maybe, this was one of those Hamas rockets that misfired. This will be something for the pro-Israel/pro-Palestine factions to argue about for the rest of the day, but let's take a look and consult Julio Rosas.

#BREAKING: Reports suggest that the mass casualty event at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City was the result of a misfired rocket launch by Hamas.

No IDF air activity was reported at the time and the timing coincided with a salvo of rockets launched at Israel.

Reminder: 30-40%…

"Reminder: 30-40% of Hamas' rockets misfire and land short in the Gaza Strip."

Every news publication citing Hamas without waiting as more evidence comes up every few minutes contradicting the Israeli airstrike assumption. https://t.co/5ziE12jhDx

Here’s what’s happening. Reports indicating Hamas attempted to fire a rocket, and it didn’t detonate properly. Landed on the hospital, tragically killing hundreds (40% of Hamas rockets land inside Gaza). The Gaza Health Ministry, controlled by Hamas, now issues report saying it… https://t.co/3ewGjsn5tF

Critics of Israel: Why would Hamas locate its headquarters at—and launch rockets into Israel from—Al-Shifa Hospital?

If you acknowledge they do this because they know Israel won’t strike the hospital, you are acknowledging that everything you’re saying about Israel’s so-called…

"…everything you're saying about Israel's so-called "brutality" is a lie."

Keith Olbermann says President Joe Biden can't in good conscience go to Israel Wednesday after Israel bombed a hospital.

After the Israeli strike on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City kills 300-500, @potus cannot in good conscience go to Israel tomorrow.

Comments like these lend credence to the possibility that Hamas actually bombed the hospital to derail the meeting. https://t.co/BW54rja5j6

After you notice that the Israel didn't bomb the hospital, but instead it was hit by a Hamas rocket that hit the munitions they stored in the hospital, maybe you'll apologize to Israel. Or maybe your hatred of Jews is just too strong.

Israel did not bomb the hospital. It was a Hamas rocket misfire. Israel would not bomb a hospital. Get a grip.

Sir. That was a failed Hamas rocket launch.

There are legitimate reports that it was a Hamas rocket. Your inaccurate and biased reporting does no one any good, Keith. Be more responsible.

Easy man... Everything out of Gaza requires confirmation before overreacting.

In light of new information about this event, do you have anything to add to this statement?
— Mike Woods (@SherkUnderhill) October 17, 2023

If this was indeed Israel, it would be a strategic error of epic proportions with no tactical benefit for Israel (yes, Hamas military HQ rumored to be under that hospital, but you don’t get at that by bombing the parking lot). Let’s get some confirmation please.

Seek out the video that coincidently just started recording that location just prior to the strike, it was a massive explosion in the courtyard of the hospital, it is reasonable to conclude that it is more likely to be a misfired rocket by Hamas that hit their ammunition storage.

Have multiple reliable sources confirmed this? That's how responsible journalism is supposed to work.
— mrwoso (@mrwoso) October 17, 2023

The IDF usually informs civilians if there's going to be an aerial strike. It doesn't make sense for Israel to bomb a hospital, but it does make sense that Hamas would claim it was Israel. That video looked like a failed rocket launch, a specialty of Hamas.

Update: Here's more video of the "Israeli airstrike."

Clearest video I've seen yet showing the Palestinians hitting their own hospital with a rocket. https://t.co/aiPnowaWft
