Everything you need to know about the Gaza war you can learn from the Al-Ahli Hospital incident

The media continues to parrot Gaza Health Ministry and Hamas press releases as if they are reliable. 

But they know it isn't true. Because virtually every major media outlet proved, on their own that they routinely lie and exaggerate when the war was only ten days old.

Let's review: 

On October 17, 2023, Hamas and the Gaza Ministry of Health claimed that Israel bombed the Al Ahli Hospital, killing 471 people and injuring 342. 

Every non-partisan investigation of the incident showed that these were all lies. 

The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, AP, the Washington Post, Le Monde and experts interviewed in other media all concluded that a Gaza rocket was much more consistent with the evidence than an Israeli bomb. Moreover, not one of them believed the casualty figures quoted by the Health Ministry, as an explosion of that size would not kill that many people.

Video showed that the parking lot was hit, not the hospital. There was no crater, as Israeli munitions would leave.

Hamas claimed at one point that it had portions of the Israeli munition, but never showed it to any reporters and then later claimed that the remnants were all vaporized, leaving nothing left. That is not consistent with any known munition. Also, Hamas members were seen immediately after the incident clearing out the rocket debris, which is what they always do when an errant rocket hits civilians. 

Every expert that viewed the damage didn't believe  Hamas' claims of 471 dead. Many of them estimated about 50, some went as high as 100 or so - but nobody, and I mean nobody, agreed that 471 people were killed. Even HRW noted that having more deaths than injuries is highly unlikely.

In short: Hamas lied and covered up the lie. The Ministry of Health lied about casualties. Islamic Jihad lied  in denying it shot the rocket. And everyone in the news media knows that they lied and covered up their lies.

Yet today the Hamas Health Ministry counts 471 fictional people as being killed by Israel on that one day alone.

The problem isn't that Hamas and its health ministry routinely lie. It is that the media continue to give their statements credibility. 

When they know, firsthand, that Hamas and the health ministry lied directly to their face..
