Rush to blame Israel for hospital bombing: Letters

The Issue: The left falsely blaming Israel for bombing a hospital in Gaza despite evidence to the contrary.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib said that Israel bombed the hospital in Gaza, despite the fact that Israel provided evidence that the rocket came from inside Gaza and hit the parking lot of the hospital (“Blood libel,” Oct. 19).

She is inciting a riot. The tension in this country is at an all-time high, and now a member of Congress is lying to people who could go out and cause violence and possibly kill.

Who is more of a threat to this country — former President Donald Trump (who was indicted for Jan. 6) or Tlaib? Trump never said a word about any violence, but he was indicted.

What are the Democrats going to do to get her removed from a position paid for by taxpayers?

I’m running to tell you that I don’t even have words to explain my appreciation for your cover story and headline on Thursday.

Social-media posts went viral right after the explosion that Israel was responsible for the bombing, and once all the evidence came out, very few took down their post or issued a correction.

Your devotion to the truth has the power to save lives in these crazy times we’re living in. Thank you so much from me and the Jewish community in New York.

It’s become clear that the tragic attack on the hospital in Gaza was a result of an errant rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The rocket fell short and landed on the hospital.

Western media was quick to blame Israel, evidence notwithstanding. The naysayers, the loudmouths, the unwitting idiots were quick to shout down Israel.

I noticed on social media that many posts blaming Israel were taken down as facts surfaced. But those posts were not replaced with denunciations of PIJ.

Those who were quick to blame and assail Israel are quick to stay silent when Israel isn’t to blame.

It is an indictment of the far left — indeed, an indictment of our times — that blood boils only when Israel can be blamed for causing pain.

Thank you for printing the truth about the hospital in Gaza without waffling or equating the two sides of the conflict.

While most media outlets print “moral mush,” you call it like it is.

Please continue this type of reporting. We desperately need it!

The murkiness of the “fog of war” lends itself to a lack of clarity on both sides.

The “he said, she said” regarding who is to blame for this horrific bombing is par-for-the-course in the chaos of war.

The dangerous propaganda of blame spreads like a contagion and can easily ignite more furor. Many rushed to judge without evidence to support their positions.

Restraint, on both sides, is in order until accurate evidence incriminates the responsible party.

Tlaib, a member of the infamous Squad, spoke outside the capital about a cease-fire between Israel and Palestine (Gaza).

She had previously blamed the bombing of a hospital on Israel, though intelligence now shows it was a errant rocket fired by PIJ.

The media backed her up without doing any due diligence, eager to blame Israel. Why?

Does anyone in America ask questions anymore or approach things with objectivity?

The majority of Americans either do not care or have made up their minds and look for events to support their position rather than look at events objectively and wait for confirmation.

Never have I written to a newspaper before. However, I would be remiss and morally deficient to not thank you for the front page of Thursday’s paper.

Two simple words, calling out the corrupt and biased world of today. G-d bless you. G-d bless the United States of America.
