Episode Details

Richie Allen opened my segment on his show yesterday: “I'm beginning to wonder about the attack on the (Baptist) Hospital yesterday. I'm beginning to wonder if Israel actually didn't do it, and that a broken clock is right twice a day and that it may in fact have been an accident….I really can't imagine what Israel had to gain by doing that with the world's media traveling across the Atlantic with Biden. Why would they do that? Nothing to gain. I can't see any gain.”

I answered:

“They're not bombing anything in Gaza that has any military significance at all. They're just torturing and killing civilians. I think (the hospital bombing) sent a strong message to Biden that ‘we own you.’ Biden was on the way there with the world's Zionist controlled mainstream press corps with him and they just tugged on his puppet strings and they tugged on the mainstream media's puppet strings.”

Richie Allen is not exactly a credulous dupe. But he should have noticed that the Zionist lies about their murderous bombing of the al-Ahli Hospital were even more transparently mendacious than usual. Even some MSM journalists are getting it, as Caitlin Johnstone points out here and here. Alex Thompson of the UK’s Channel 4:

“So what of Israel’s explanation? Sensing a major problem they worked through the night to get their version out. Press conference first thing. Conclusion: an Islamic Jihad rocket caused it all.”

“They present what they say is two Hamas operatives talking about the attack. Hamas call this an obvious fabrication. Two independent Arab journalists told us the same thing, because of the language, accent, dialect, syntax and tone. None of which is, they say, credible.”

“Equally, Israel claims the Islamic Jihad failed missile was fired from here: a cemetery very close to the hospital. But look again at the video of the event — the trajectory of the missile doesn’t line up with that location. Too high. Too horizontal. Confusingly, the Israelis’ presentation also says the missile was fired from a location down in the southwest; it can’t be both.”

Caitlin Johnstone:

I mean, if people were saying I bombed a hospital, and I knew I didn’t, the last thing I’d do is publish an audio file of me pretending to be two guys talking about how Caitlin definitely didn’t bomb the hospital.

Picture a recording of me doing two blokey-sounding voices going,

“Hello my evil friend!”

“Hello!”

“Did you hear that Caitlin definitely did not bomb that hospital?”

“She didn’t?”

“No! It turns out it was we, the Evil Bad Guys!”

“We did it?”

“Yes, it was us!”

Even more thunderingly obvious, as Chris Hedges points out, is that the Palestinians don’t have bombs nearly that big or rockets nearly that fast:

I covered war for two decades, including seven years in the Middle East. I learned quite a bit about the size and lethality of explosive devices. There is nothing in the arsenal of Hamas or Islamic Jihad that could have replicated the massive explosive power of the missile that killed an estimated 500 civilians in the al-A
