Within minutes of the explosion at a hospital in Gaza, the court of public opinion had fully adopted the story that the tragedy was Israel's fault.
President Joe Biden left Washington on Oct. 17 with big plans. He didn't make it off the tarmac before disinformation hijacked his trip. Social media outrage and hasty news coverage of the Gaza hospital bombing preempted diplomacy that could have saved lives.After traveling to Israel to reassure the Jewish State of U.S. support and to ask hard questions about plans for a ground offensive, Biden planned to hold a summit with leaders from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Egypt.
Video captured by al Jazeera appears to show a rocket launched from nearby changing course and exploding mid-air. Satellite imagery shows little to no damage to the hospital building, but scorch marks on the roof and burned cars in the parking lot, consistent with a fire but not an airstrike. Further the crater in the parking lot is far more consistent with the impact of a smaller weapon than an Israeli missile or Iron Dome interceptor.
