I'm pointing out that the people who are living in the Gazan strip have had a lot of $$ given to them by many countries and they don't need to steal from their neighbors.

I came here to say this too. Why would I choose to believe terrorists who initiated all of this and have shown the world who they are and what they will do to fellow human beings? Maybe it was a strike by Israel but at this point, if they say they didn’t do it, I believe them over terrorists. How devastating though. I was looking through the Snapchat map over in Gaza and it was heartbreaking to see the people loading the deceased into the back of the truck or sitting with a deceased loved one who is wrapped in a white blanket/sheet. The place is torn apart. Just so so unbelievable.

IDF may share intelligence proving Israel not responsible for Gaza hospital bombing, spokesperson says
From CNN’s Sahar Akbarzai and Samira Jafari
A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said it might share intelligence or raw data with the world to prove that Israel is not responsible for the attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as Israel claims.
IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said “maybe" when pushed about releasing more information.
When asked if the IDF was 100% certain that it was not an IDF missile strike that hit the hospital in Gaza, Conricus said he is “as certain as anybody in war can be with millions of pieces of information flying around."
"But after a very serious review, I can say that is the information that we have now we are confident and the information that we have says this was a failed launch by Islamic Jihad," he said.
In response to a question about if there were IDF missile strikes in the vicinity or blocks within the hospital in Gaza, Conricus said: “Not as far as I’m aware.”
While Israel says "IDF does not target hospitals,” the United Nations and Doctors Without Borders say during the past 10 days, Israeli airstrikes have struck medical facilities, including hospitals and ambulances.
Officials in Gaza blame Israel for the hospital attack, while IDF says it was Islamic Jihad's "failed rocket launch" and denies it was behind the hit.

IMO it does not factor in at all. The rocket was launched from Gaza and landed in Gaza, not over any Israeli city.
Officials in Gaza have blamed an Israeli airstrike for the blast, while Israel says they did not strike the hospital and blamed it on a failed rocket launch by the Islamic Jihad militant group.
The WHO said even before the hospital blast there were more than 100 attacks on health care workers: 51 of them in Gaza with 15 health care workers killed on duty, 27 injured and 24 health facilities damaged.
But you cant travel.
Israel has said over and over that it does not target hospitals.

World Health Organization leaders on Tuesday strongly condemned the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital blast, calling it an attack “unprecedented in scale.”
In addition to caring for patients, the hospital had also been sheltering thousands of internally displaced people, the WHO said.
“We want to express our deepest grief at a horror, horror that has unfolded this evening at Al-Ahli hospital,” Dr. Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the occupied Palestinian territories said in a news conference Tuesday. “This attack is unprecedented in scale, but WHO has seen consistent attacks in health care in occupied Palestinian territory.”
The WHO does not have specific casualty numbers yet from the hospital blast but said area reports indicate fatalities and injuries number in the hundreds.
“We are all deeply shocked by the events unfolding in Gaza this evening,” said Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme. He added the locations of these hospitals is "absolutely clear."
Officials in Gaza have blamed an Israeli airstrike for the blast, while Israel says they did not strike the hospital and blamed it on a failed rocket launch by the Islamic Jihad militant group.
The hospital was one of 20 in the north of Gaza facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military, but the order has been “impossible” to carry out given the current security situation, and a lack of staff and ambulances, Dr. Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, said.
The WHO said even before the hospital blast there were more than 100 attacks on health care workers: 51 of them in Gaza with 15 health care workers killed on duty, 27 injured and 24 health facilities damaged.
Live updates: Israel-Hamas war rages as crisis in Gaza deepens

The Gaza health ministry, which is run by Hamas, has claimed that an Israeli airstrike on the hospital killed hundreds of people.
US intelligence officials are working to understand what happened at the hospital.
Gaza has a government: Hamas. But what has Hamas done for them? They receive billions and billions of dollars in aid, and billions more from other benefactors. But we see that their hospitals are all run by outside agencies, they have no independent water system, no mass transit, a blockade leaves them starving a couple of days because there are no food stores, but there are billions of dollars of rockets to rain down on Israel. There is no one to negotiate with. There can be no solutions as long as Hamas is there and any aid or relief just goes to more weapons or siphoned off to Qatari bank accounts.
I tend to believe Israel. It is hard for me to think that they routed these people a way to leave and then do the very same thing that Hamas did in their attack.
Agreed 100 %. ^^^
