Shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday, a volley of rockets lit up the darkened sky over Gaza. Videos analyzed by The Associated Press show one veering off course, breaking up in the air before crashing to the ground.

Seconds later, the videos show a large explosion in the same area – the site of Gaza’s al-Ahli Arab Hospital.

Who is to blame for the fiery explosion has set off intense debate and finger pointing between the Israeli government and Palestinian militants, further escalating tensions in their two week-long war.

      That’s pretty clearly not the case. Netanyahu is a corrupt moron who didn’t do enough to stop Hamas, but Hamas is ultimately responsible for their own actions, and those actions started this war.

          Sometimes, when you start a war and lose, things get worse for you. If the Palestinians focused on building their country up rather than starting wars intent on genicide, maybe they’d have decent living conditions by now.

          The Palestinians were attacking Israel long before the current apartheid.
