As previously reported, a blast at a hospital in Gaza City killed 500 innocent Palestinians on Tuesday. It was the deadliest single incident from the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas militants.
The health ministry in Gaza said the blast at the hospital was caused by a retaliatory Israeli air raid following the Hamas’ surprise weekend attack on Oct. 7. However, Israel’s military denied responsibility for the bombing, saying military intelligence suggested the hospital was hit by a failed rocket launch by the enclave’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad military group.
Earlier this Wednesday morning, US President Joe Biden arrived in Israel pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas. While there, he said Israel was not to blame for the rocket attack on a hospital in Gaza, which left at hundreds of people dead. He said, “I was outraged by the bombing of the hospital yesterday. Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by the other team. Not you,” Biden said at a brief press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu… “But there’s a lot of people out there who are not sure.”
Biden added: “The world is looking. Israel has a value set like the United States does and other democracies and they’re looking to see what we’re going to do.”

During the conference, Netanyahu also spoke and applauded Biden for being the first U.S. president to visit Israel during an intense war.
“On October 7th, Hamas murdered 1400 Israelis, maybe more. This is in a country of fewer than 10 million people. This would be equivalent to over 50,000 Americans murdered in a single day. That’s 20 9/11s. That is why October 7th is another day that we live in infamy,” he said per Fox News.
Netanyahu continued: “I want to thank you for coming here today and for the unequivocal support you’ve given during these trying times. A support that reflects the overwhelming will of the American people. I’ve seen your support every day and the depth and breadth of cooperation that we have had since the beginning of this war, a level of cooperation that is truly unprecedented in the history of the great alliance between our two nations.”
“Above all, Mr. President, the world sees that support and the moral clarity that you have demonstrated from the moment Israel was attacked. You’ve rightly drawn a clear line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism,” Netanyahu said. “You describe what Hamas did as sheer evil. It is exactly that.”
Biden responded, “It’s beyond my comprehension.” He also said Hamas was guilty of slaughtering Israelis: “They’ve committed evils that atrocities that make ISIS somewhat more rational.”
DEfund Israel!
