Zero Hedge: US Lawmakers Demand Biden Declassify Intelligence On Gaza Hospital Disaster
During his Tel Aviv visit on Wednesday, President Biden had been pressed by reporters as to what convinced him to side with Israel's denial that it didn't strike Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing up to 200-300 people, according to local health officials. Biden had said that data from his Defense Department showed the explosion was unlikely to have been an Israeli airstrike. But it's not just journalists that want more, US lawmakers are also demanding clearer answers.
A group of Progressive Democrats in Congress are now pushing the Biden White House to publicly declassify the intelligence that the US has on the hospital bombing.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. Demands to declassify US intelligence on the Gaza Hospital disaster are going to be ignored.

you do not declassify intel at this early stage of an ongoing conflict!
The US intelligence community assesses that there likely were between 100 to 300 people killed in the blast at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, and there was “only light structural damage at the hospital,” according to an unclassified intelligence assessment obtained by CNN that adds more detail to the initial assessment released Wednesday finding Israel was not responsible for the strike.
Between 100 and 300 believed killed in Gaza hospital blast, according to preliminary US intelligence assessment
What is there to declassify? Pretty cut and dried what happened. Pali Islam Jihad launched a barrage of flying pipe bombs into Israel, one exploded over Gaza and crashed into a parking lot with a warhead and a lot unspent solid rocket fuel.
Then blammo.
Interesting analysis by Al Jazeera of the hospital explosion. They say their investigation does not support the Israeli claim.

I (alas) agree with Russ somewhere in Cal
Alex or the person claiming to be Alex.
1) Where is the missile or bomb debris of the supposed Israeli ordinance. With the ARCMS attack on the Russian helo base we have blasted fragments showing that it was ATACMS
2) As Chuck Pfarrer and other have pointed out a bomb that you attack a JDAMS to usually leaves a blast crater. Where is the crater? Someone challenged the crater by asking about air blasts. I have only once ever inspected a crater left by ordinance. It was only a centimeter to half inch deep it was 2 to 3 feet wide. The frag field was the equivalent of 6 traffic lanes in diameter. It had landed dead center on a 2 lane road. The shoulders and open area to the nearest walls on either side of the road added two lanes on either side. That left me cold.
3) How likely is it that the Israelis if they had been targeting the hospital or a nearby building missed? What is the CEP of their ordinance?
4) With the new count of being 10 to 50 people dead, but initially 500 claimed this looks more like a Hamas information space op.
5) With Hamas and other groups like Islamic Jihad using irrigation pipe and other makeshift rockets, it is more likely that one of their home made rockets broke up in flight or went off course than an Israeli ordinance doing the same.
6) One way a JDAM could go off target is GPS jamming? Does Hamas have that given to them by Russia or Iran? But JDAMs also have inertial guidance.
Where are the pieces of the supposed JDAM
Now the Pali terror fiends are scouring high and low for JDAM fragments to gather up and bring t the parking lot 3 days alter and say "See. See"
Well, something extraordinary happened- the remains of M39 missiles (Made in 1996 and 1997) of the MGM-140A ATACMS Block I system used by Ukrainian forces against Berdyansk AB.
This variant has a range of ~165km, inertial guidance, and carries 950 M74 submunitions.
Where are the JDAM fragments at the parking lot?
I'm not claiming to have any evidence of insider knowledge on this event. I was simply sharing one major news outlet expressing a contrarian view on this event for those interested here.
Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari government. It is state owned media.
Qatar was behind the Sunni insurgency in Syria. Others joined including the CIA and the Saudis. but the Qataris were the initial or driving force.
It can be said that they did so out of altruism or solidarity for their fellow Sunni. But they also did it for their own reasons. How much the one and how much of the other I do not know.
I also do not think it was a bad idea to support an insurgency. When you engage in mass demonstration and end up with mass incarceration with many tortured or dead, where else do you except to an insurgency?
I would not trust the MSM and it would not trust Al Jazeera. Sort of have to look for stray facts either one of them leave lying about in their articles and piece things together yourself.
