We have one for Ukraine, should we open up one for this topic as well?
⌠we could just post over and over
Worth starting with both Al-Jazeeraâs and The Guardianâs liveblogs on the conflictâŚ
This has a number of interesting points.
TLDR:
The Timesâs finding does not answer what actually did cause the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital blast, or who is responsible. The contention by Israeli and American intelligence agencies that a failed Palestinian rocket launch is to blame remains plausible. But the Times analysis does cast doubt on one of the most-publicized pieces of evidence

The other place just had a discussion on the war itself, and they ended up deciding basically that the only thing we should post there are facts rather than diatribing ourselves? But so far, Iâm not sure how thatâs all gonna be parsed out? But some keep posting pretty inflammatory stories meant to stoke anger from right wing sources, often just uncritically.
Thatâs a fair stance, considering how much history, emotion, and misinformation is involved in the topic. Tough to enforce, though.
Seems to me like the clearest villains. Along with people using the situation in the absolute laziest way possible in order to profit from it:
A deep dive.
Also some interesting, thoughtful solutions are discussed. Solutions that will never be implemented.

âIs it conceivable to assume that âjournalistsâ just happened to appear early in the morning at the border without prior coordination with the terrorists?â HonestReporting wrote on its website Wednesday. âOr were they part of the plan?â
It led two Israeli politicians to suggest the journalists be killed. Several of the worldâs biggest news organizations â CNN, The New York Times, The Associated Press and Reuters â issued statements Thursday denying they knew about the attack ahead of time.
