Of course Israel is going to claim their hospital atrocity was the fault Hamas. When the Israeli military deliberately targeted, shot, and killed Shireen Abu Aqleh, the Israeli propaganda machine also at first claimed that Palestinian militants had shot her.
Bombing a hospital as UNRWA reports that millions of people in Gaza are now running out of water and dehydrating to death. This is a genocide being committed by the Israeli state, with full endorsement from western leaders and media.
Outraged at the erasure of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza… the double standards once again show the racism of western media outlets and politicians, who clearly see Palestinians as less than human.
Palestinians have the right to resist colonialism! Palestinians have the right to resist occupation! Palestinians have the right to resist apartheid! Palestinians have the right to resist displacement! Palestinians have the right to live with dignity in their own land!
