President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Even now, my brain won’t ever wrap its head around modern countries like Ireland and N. Ireland feeling the need for things like “peace walls” between neighbors.

    Your comment sums up a lot of my feelings: a true peace can’t be forced from the outside. It’s way too complicated and emotional for simplistic shit. And you can see it in the comments around here too. Everyone’s wrapped up in intense anger, blame, and reciting the litany of past horrors as justification for new ones.
