We've been trying to reach you about your hospital's extended warranty...
I am disgusted by my actions.
Before we start this thread can we all agree to condemn your actions?

Man, that guy that got mad about a joke that called him dense regarding this topic is going to be pissed about this.
You have me as a reference when you apply to The Onion.

What if the real treasure is the hospitals we bombed along the way?
I’m sure I had a good reason

Reader response criticism has gone too far! Stanley Fish in shambles!
Shit, they caught me!
I knew it, it was the Ambien
Haha! I am pacifist and I did not open the link!
It was a parking lot fire. No hospital blew up. The propaganda has to stop.
Yeah, I don't agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza and am under no illusions that the IDF doesn't do bad things, but the evidence just doesn't back up the "hospital airstrike with 500 dead" claims. Footage shows a rocket fired from inside Gaza misfiring and landing in a parking lot next to the hospital. The geolocation of the footage has been verified. The visible damage is burned up cars in a parking lot. The actual hospital wasn't hit by anything and the damage is way more consistent with burning rocket fuel than a high explosive detonation, which would have left a massive crater where the parking lot used to be.
Genuine question - 500 people died, right? Did that actually happen, and was it a result of this?
500 would be an insane death toll even for an actual JDAM strike on a building. Currently, however, nothing indcates that this was an Israeli strike. Their bombs are massive compared to the ones Hamas is using. The parking lot which the rocket hit is barely damaged except for the damage caused by fire. If it was Israeli bomb there would be a massive crater on the ground. There is some DISTURBING NSFL FOOTAGE that seems to indicate, that there indeed was several casualties in that strike but I'd guess we're more like talking of tens, not hundreds of dead.
