The well-worn phrase "Israel has every right to defend itself" takes on meaning hours after the Hamas attack. Used ten days later, when the troops of the Jewish State are at the border of Gaza awaiting the order to enter, it can only be interpreted as "Israel has every right to counterattack", which further . And said right after the bombing of the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza is aberrant, to say the least, for being untimely.
They said it at that precise moment Pedro Sánchez and Olaf Scholz. Others. Without expressly referring to the fact of the hospital, true. But "Israel has every right to defend itself" is such a cliché that it's hard not to say it at an inopportune moment.
Wars also destroy and precipitate the word. The palm for the most inappropriate expression was taken by the deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Fleur Hassan: “We left [in 2005] the Gaza Strip. They could have turned it into Dubai, but they turned it into Lebanon. We gave them the most beautiful territory in Israel, they have the best beaches in the entire region!” It's Tuesday night's interview on La noche en 24 horas (here, at minute 36), with all the commotion of the massacre at the hospital still simmering.
Who bombed it? There was a fellow at the EGB who could tell a Vespino from a Variant just by the noise, no matter how much the exhaust pipe was screwed up. Little thing: Twitter/X became a hub for rocket and missile craters and whistles. The web was divided like never before: it was a rocket, so Islamic Jihad is to blame; it was a missile, then it comes from Israel.
Navigating X after this bombing is chaos. There are all the versions, and when the versions are mixed with nonsense, the truth is disintegrated and diluted like a lump of sugar. And a lump, once dissolved, is irrecoverable. Everyone believes what suits him, and in his fault, what gives him the appetite. "Those who need to believe that it was Israel, will continue to believe it. And whoever needs to believe that it was Islamic Jihad, the same. And when they no longer have arguments they will justify it with 'and you more'", says @iuforn.
Nobody takes into account, however, that war has by nature a large amount of misinformation and barbarities to the detriment of reason, and that the only verifiable thing about a war is human stupidity.
@pennylanebcn makes a proposal: "At times like this, that's when we need more humor." In order not to fall into fanaticism or become sectarian and not to pass off as an expert in X of what you have no interest in.
