I don’t know why the senior guy at redstate.com calls himself “bonchie”. And I don’t know where he got the “900 dead” claim from.
That aside, “Bonchie” has written an excellent analysis of the Gaza hospital attack that every person interested in reality versus fantasy ought to read.
Here is how it starts:
Let me preface the rest of this article by saying I don’t know exactly what struck the hospital nor how badly it was actually hit. With that said, anytime Hamas reports something, it should be put through some kind of critical analysis.
For example, on its face, the reported death toll makes no sense. We are being asked to believe that in under an hour, Hamas was able to put out the fires, clear the rubble, and accurately count how many people died in the explosion. That is simply impossible, even as a close estimate.
The best governments in the world would take a week to figure out a preliminary number of dead in a situation like this, yet the claimed death toll went from 200 initially to 500 within a few minutes, and within an hour, Hamas was claiming 900 dead.
That’s not to say this isn’t a mass casualty event. Given the fact that Hamas likes to store weapons under hospitals, it’s very possible that whatever struck the building ignited a much larger explosion (something caused the massive, accelerated fires shown in various videos, and high explosives from bombs don’t normally do that).
The commentary continues with a ton of evidence that any reasonable person would, and should, incorporate into any conclusion about the hospital explosion.
Do yourself a favor, and read every word. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is better.
