How convenient... every time Israel indiscriminately murders Palestinians, it's just going to be blamed on Palestinians?
Context:
NYT, WSJ, and other news media have started to report that US Intel confirms it was a failed militant rocket through infrared imagery.
Downvotes are legitimately, copium.

Counterpoint: I think it is pretty clear Hamas' claims were bullshit, but I downvote this fucking post for the tasteless tone and fucking snickering emoji. It's a current and ongoing human fucking tragedy, not a sports event.
I didn't think making fun of terrorists could be controversial until today nyaa~
Hahaha ha got em, civilians died as a predictable outcome of warfare, and hhahaha morons critical of Israel thought maybe Israel had bombed a hospital but not it's just that Gaza has no resources so even their weapons are shit. Hahaha hahaha haha war.
Riiiight... US intel "confirms."
Have they found Saddam's "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" yet?
I mean you laugh because we failed to turn anything up in Desert Storm, but the US knew Saddam had chemical weapons mostly because we had the receipts from helping supply him with them in the 80’s to fight Iran. They just left that part out during the war hype coverage https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/08/26/exclusive-cia-files-prove-america-helped-saddam-as-he-gassed-iran/

but the US knew Saddam had chemical weapons
Yes, I know... the US knew about every gallon of mustard gas and sarin Saddam had - not only did the US provide intelligence to Saddam to specifically help his use of the stuff during the Iran-Iraq War be more effective, they could also literally read almost every damn ciphered communique of the Iraqi army at the highest levels thanks to the fact that Iraq used compromised ciphering machines bought from the CIA front company Crypto AG in Switzerland.
They knew perfectly well Saddam had destroyed all his stockpiles - if he hadn't, Bush would have never dared to invade Iraq.
I mean, I believe it. But discourse about this thing that happened less than a day ago isn't copium.
