So much information coming in at once, so many things happening.
I don't know if TOS would allow me to post the results here (probably not), but you can ask an AI to explain anything like you're five. ChatGPT is probably you're best AI to use as it's best at conversation. You can then ask clarifying questions if you want.I know this is a decades long conflict but is there an unbiased link somewhere to explain like I'm 5 years old the whole thing past and present?

White House officials silent after hospital blast in Gaza
From CNN's MJ Lee and Kayla Tausche
White House officials were silent in the immediate aftermath of a hospital bombing in Gaza that killed hundreds, unresponsive to numerous questions about what impact the deadly blast might have on President Joe Biden’s highly anticipated trip to the region.
Hours before Biden was expected to fly to Israel for an extraordinary visit to the war-torn region, a massive blast hit a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of people.
There was immediate consequence for the president’s upcoming trip, even before Biden had left the White House: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas pulled out of his meeting with Biden, which had been set to take place in Jordan along with other regional leaders.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied culpability, saying that it was the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group that launched a barrage of rockets from Gaza toward Israel, and that a “failed rocket launch” hit the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.
Palestinian officials have said the hospital was hit in an Israeli strike.
The moment vividly captured precisely how much is at stake for Biden as he heads to the Middle East.
US officials had said they had made painstaking efforts to ensure Biden’s security before greenlighting the trip. Biden was also set to emphasize to his Israeli counterpart and others the importance of minimizing civilian casualties in the conflict.

sorry, I don't have a timestamp, I only saw this shared on a reporter's timelineThank you. Could you please give me the video time?
One loaded with rocket fuel I suppose. We know for a fact that Islamic Jihad and Hamas like to store weapons and launch sites near hospitals and schools, and you’re only one mistake away from catastrophe.Are Hamas/PIJ rockets actually capable of killing 300 people in one go? Deliberately or otherwise?
If 300 people were in the path, I would think so. Seems like many people are congregated at the hospital.Are Hamas/PIJ rockets actually capable of killing 300 people in one go? Deliberately or otherwise?
People who didn’t evacuate were probably sheltering there. IMOIf 300 people were in the path, I would think so. Seems like many people are congregated at the hospital.

Many of the major outlets who took Hamas at face value have now changed their headlines. The damage has been done though.Israeli President @Isaac_Herzog
responds to the allegations that an Israeli airstrike caused the Gaza hospital fire: “Shame on the media who swallow the lies of Hamas and Islamic Jihad - broadcasting a 21st century blood libel around the globe. Shame on the vile terrorists in Gaza who willfully spill the blood of the innocent.”
whoops sorry!Thanks @cottonweaver but @MyBelle was asking about my post #911:
BBC News live saying this attack on the hospital will make it very difficult for Israel to normalise relations with Arab nations. ”All of that is out of the window now.”
It wasn’t this journalist who said it. I am quite certain it was a male guest who was being interviewed.
I was 8 months pregnant and not living in Manhattan but in another major US city many corporate hqs that could have easily been targeted as well. We also lived next to an AFB and I spent weeks just waiting for it to be “our turn”. Thankfully it never was.I was pregnant, living in Manhattan, on 9/11. My thoughts that day and in following days were definitely and primarily on my baby. Yes, I was concerned about my neighborhood, city, nation, world.....but mothers are programmed to think of their babies.
I don't fault anyone's motherly instinct. It is the most important thing in the world.
