58. I think this is all a bunch of Hamas BS to derail Biden's visit

The timing is suspect. If Israel wanted to take out a populated hospital, they could have done so a week ago. Israel is not shelling carelessly and they are not trying to hurt civilians. They are in fact going out of their way to minimize and avoid civilian casualties and so Hamas making this claim, right before Biden's trip to the middle east, knowing it will derail his talks, should be treated with great scrutiny.

Hamas is losing the PR war and needs to do something to change the course of things. Faking a hospital bombing would be just about perfect...
