President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Yeah, the people of Palestine haven’t exactly been pushing for a two state solution and they back/vote in groups that want to exterminate the jews and enforce Sharia law wherever they can.

    Even if Israel wanted a two state solution they’re not going to get it. Not until Palestinians can come up with a functional government that isn’t made up of a group that has genocide as one of their stated political goals.

    And I mean actual genocide, the attempt to end a genetic lineage through violence, not the “genocide” of lemmy which essentially just means “cultural disruption/assimilation”, a widening of definition that allows them to pretend that it’s equal on both sides cause “they’re both committing genocide!”

      It’s kind of funny to me listening to people who advocate for separate states. I mean, sure, do it. But don’t expect that to stop religious zealots from firing peace rockets at each other.

        It won’t stop anything, a two state solution is a joke.

        The best case scenario now is for Palestinians to assimilate into other Muslim countries, it’s not ideal but it’s probably the way fewest people will die.
