Rashida Tlaib calls for ‘independent investigation’ into Gaza hospital blast, refuses to accept US, Israel findings
nypost ^ | 10/24/2023 | VICTOR NAVA

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity.

“Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement.

“I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel has bombed numerous medical facilities in Gaza and reports from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society of ongoing threats from the Israeli military to evacuate hospital,” she said.

Hamas claimed last week that an Israeli airstrike killed about 500 people at the Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City — sparking riots across the Middle East and forcing President Biden to scrap a planned summit with Arab leaders in Jordan.

But both the White House and the Israeli government have determined that the explosion was caused by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket from the Palestinian side of the border.

Islamic Jihad is a smaller, more radical Palestinian terrorist group that often works with Hamas.

“Both the Israeli and United States governments have long, documented histories of misleading the public about wars and war crimes – like last year’s Israeli military assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh and the false claims of weapons of mass destruction that led our country into the Iraq War – and cannot clear themselves of responsibility without an independent international investigation,” Tlaib added. “This debate should not distract us from the urgent need for a ceasefire to save innocent civilian lives.”

I think the entire “Squad” should immediately be tasked to go there supported by the NYT to do a live broadcast from hospital site.

To show no hard feelings let’s give her gift shirts to wear. The ones from Target Stores with the bright red targets on the back. Cheery ones.

So the recording of one dumbass hamas guy telling the other dumbass hamas guy that it was one of their rockets didn’t do it for her? She needs to get over there, stat, and stay in gaza to investigate.

Prolly one of her raghead constituents could re-enact it for her examination.

Of course, it’s not as if tens of thousands didn’t see five independent info sources post their data all over social media for people to make up their own minds about.

But maybe she could believe the independent analysis conducted by her pals at the Association of the dePressed.

How about an independent investigation into Trashida’s association with known terrorist groups?

She’s only encouraging Hamas to purposely go bigger than the hospital and kill even more Palestinian children and blame it on Israel. She’s one of the best propagandists they got. She’s probably already got Arab blood on her hands and not even know it.

She’s a threat and an embarrassment to this country.

It’s because she wants to believe it. She’s an enemy of the United States every bit as much as any member of one of the “official” terrorist groups. She should have her citizenship stripped and be immediately deported to Gaza. Same with the rest of “the squad”, especially Omar.

October 16, 2023 - HAMAS ground launched rocket hits a car parking area of the Al Ahli Al Araby Hospital Complex, Gaza . . .

At 0:01 into 0:16 showing the explosion - 1st video:

https://rumble.com/v3pxtms-video-of-explosion-at-gaza-city-hospital-where-hundreds-have-reportedly-die.html

In that 1st video, look for a structure in the distance: a round tower rising above a rectangular building.

That round tower, will match - near enough, given a different angle of view from the camera used for the following, 2nd video - a structure in the distance, with a round tower rising above a rectangular building:

At 0:08 - 2nd video:

That 2nd video, showing the path and brief flight of the HAMAS rocket.

My impression is that the HAMAS rocket impact occurred near the center of the area in the second photo, where there is the most-compressed vehicle wreckage (blown up, and then falling down) within the very shallow "crater" that is what I refer to as a "dent" - because of, how the shape is significantly more mild in contrast to the craters caused by the IDF GBU-27 missiles that Israel uses at night.
