And this is when the other team means "it's Russia fault again""it was done by the other team", so no Freudian slips from Biden, just the usual American speak.![]()

Of course, I could be wrong, but to me it looks like someone wants desperately to bring about a massive war with the Arab world. The attack on the hospital was carried out when the Palestinian-Israeli issue was being discussed at the UN and the mediation was started by Russia and China. Someone did it so they wouldn't accidentally get along diplomatically.Pretty much. The impact of this bombing is wide-reaching and aids NO ONE except those who want a wider war. It undermines all of Blinken's diplomatic overtures with Arab nations over the past few days, and coming on the night before Biden arrives, it causes the Jordanian, Egyptian and PA leaders to cancel their meetings with Biden. It massively inflames popular Arab anger in the ME and beyond and makes the Israelis looks like monsters and forces them to engage in extreme attempts to claim it wasn't them.
Maybe it technically wasn't the Israelis as you say, but that 'hidden hand' that wants to ramp up the chaos and death and forever war.
Now Tzahal shares a supposed recording between Hamas soldiers talking about this being a Jihadi rocket.
️ LET'S TRY TO PARSE THE AUDIO RECORDING RELEASED BY TSAHAL
So, the audio recording released by the Israeli side, in which two Hamas men allegedly discuss a strike on a hospital in the Gaza Strip, raises many questions. Most importantly, such files cannot be considered evidence. That is obvious to any reasonable person. Further, this is not the way they talk in the Gaza Strip. To be quite precise, the first speaker does speak with a Palestinian dialect. About the second one, doubts crept in.
To be 100% sure (I'm not Palestinian after all), I contacted various people from Palestine. One was from Gaza. And asked them to comment on the audio recording. All are unanimous. I am attaching the response of two Palestinians who speak Russian (studied here).
One of them noted that the attached translation does not accurately convey the nature of the conversation, and that it does not appear from the recording that it is a conversation between two Hamas members. Just as the video of the children in the cages did not show that the babies were Israeli, the person filming them was a Palestinian, and that everything was happening in the Gaza Strip.
The audio recording shows two people in a bit of shock discussing the news and versions of what happened.
Conclusion. We can assume that the Israeli side is in a hurry, so it makes ridiculous mistakes. I suppose if there had been more time, the Shin Bet would have had no trouble finding two men who speak Arabic (Ghazzawi dialect) well.
Many things aren't clear at all during war, are they ?Arab speaking journalist Abbas Djuma analyzed the recording:
Images filmed this morning at al-Ahli Arabi hospital in the Gaza Strip seem to show that no buildings were badly damaged, only the parking lot. No craters.
I stopped reading past the first half dozen paragraphs (surpised I made it that far). Outside the parameters of his own expertise, the man is an arrogant moron who understands zero about geopolitics or the actual likely reasons this happened now and by the means that it did.
Arabic speaking journalist Abbas Djuma analyzed the recording:
A logistical mistake or technical error, a coincidence, a deliberate and calculated provocation from the IDF part?
On the other hand, the IDF has bombed hospitals and killed children on the beach before while the whole world was watching.
Looks like the work of the hidden hand here, pushing Israel to "go massive" and take the fall in the wider middle east war. Not the work of the IDF per se but an extra surprise thrown in.
But the hospital strike reads to me as an IDF "signature". They do stuff like that and then blame everyone else but them.
Had me thinking too. I think it may be the last one. And coming on the day Biden arrives, it signals to the WH that the Israelis are not interested in any talk of cease-fire or peace.
The impact of this bombing is wide-reaching and aids NO ONE except those who want a wider war.
Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Nice, Toulouse and Beauvais airports in France were told to evacuate following the attack threats.
Six airports across France were evacuated on Wednesday, October 18, after emailed "threats of attack", a police source told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The evacuations at Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Nice, Toulouse and Beauvais airport near Paris would allow authorities to "clear up any doubts" that the threats might be real, the source said.
By midday, several of these airports had received bomb threats and reports of forgotten luggage requiring intervention by the authorities. Beauvais Airport mentioned on its Facebook page "an anonymous threat received by several airports."
