The Unapologetic Apologia

October 17, 2023, at approximately 6:59–7:00 p.m.
Gaza City

BBC, “Israeli air strike on hospital in Gaza.”.

The New York Times, “Hundreds feared dead or injured in Israeli air strike on hospital in Gaza, Palestinian officials say”

CNN, “Hundreds likely dead in Gaza hospital blast, as Israeli blockade cripples medical response”

Ah yes, western media, is it any wonder why most do not trust you? But, unfortunately, there are some that will instantly believe due to their political bias. Despite these outlets and others quietly correcting this mistake, it still lingers in the minds of the unaware. The Al-Ahli Arab Hospital was not hit by missiles, there were no Israelis involved and no 500 didn’t die. Israel immediately denied this and showed video and missile trajectory of who was actually involved, and well what do you know it was the PIJ ( the Palestinian Islamic Jihad).

How could they get so much wrong? The hospital was not the last fumble on reporting it was consistent.

In October and November
The New York Times: “The Gaza Health Ministry has said that about 70 percent of those killed in the war are believed to be women and children.”
BBC: “Women and children make up about 70% of those who have been killed in Gaza during the current conflict, says the Hamas-run health ministry.”
CNN: “Around 70% of the casualties are women and children”

Then the Guardian, the BBC, CNN and Routers all saying “at least 24,000 dead women and children”, heavily implying that it was Israel’s fault. This and many other lies stuck in the minds of the protesters in the streets, online “activists”, and average passers by of the news, with these headlines. Stack this with the fact that people don’t follow-up with these. I catching headlines this all was a storm of confusion and mistriggered emotions. But again, where did they get this information? Well, the Palestinian authority, of course and the Gaza health ministry, are very well-known to be Hamas run, like many Arab countries, with their own government being in complete control of what is shown to the world. Why would major news media not do their due diligence and favor accuracy rather than eye catching headlines? Why would major news outlets use terrorist run organizations as their source of information? I guess we’ll never know.
