May all of Israels bombs be returned to them tenfold

Imagine all the footage in Gaza that would have cam out if they got the footage out

Videos like this is what the American people need to see. This is what their tax dollars are going towards instead of being spent on healthcare and infrastructure.

Is there any proof the hospital was targeted?
Or was it simply local to an actual IRGC/Military target?

Bombing hospitals is and has always been modus operandi for the american empire. They have been doing it since israel even existed.
A SMALL history on post-WW2 US attacks on hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers, from deliberate hospital bombings on Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Yugoslavia all the way back to the time US levelled over 1000 hospitals in the Korea War - by former Chomsky associate Alan MacLeod:

The proof is that the one in the video was neither an accident nor the only one: The US has already bombed 500+ schools, 300+ hospitals and health centers and 30+ universities in Iran.

Alright but that doesnt answer my question. Im asking for proof that the hospital shown in the video was targeted. As direct hits by a bomb would bring the building down (as we've seen during this war multiple times). It wouldn't simply blow out windows, shake the building causing fixtures to fall down, or leave people unharmed. Its much more likely that a nearby building was hit and these are just after affects of those nearby explosions.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
oddly, you require no proof for it being a military target.
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
Well OP said the hospital was targeted and I am just looking for proof. I dont know why this is so difficult.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
i don't know either. the video shows people in a hospital as it's being bombed. what led you to assume it was a military installation instead?
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
Im only disputing the claim the hospital was explicitly bombed...The damage in the videos does not indicate a bombing of the hospital but only a bombing nearby.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
the initial camera view appears to be an exterior surveillance camera view of the explosion. there's nothing to suggest that that camera is within the hospital itself. the footage that follows appears to be inside the hospital.
why do you dispute the bombing of the hospital? why do you think it must be a military installation?
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
Because nothing on this video indicates that the hospital itself was bombed. All the interior camera scenes indicate an explosion nearby with the shockwave blowing windows out and shaking the hospital.
Its much more likely, with the video posted, that a nearby building was targeted. Going against the narrative OP posted in the title.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
you're using the words, "bombed" and "targeted" interchangeably, and then calling that a gotchya when on one else has done that. the building was clearly bombed, the damage was not from an earth quake.
why would you assume that it was a military installation? i don't know why this is so difficult....
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
In the beginning you can see the front Fasica of Khatam Al-Anbiya hospital...the distinct intersecting archway.
The first few seconds of the video you can see that aswell as explosions in the distance... throughout the video you can see shockwave damage but no direct bombing damage from the bombs.
Who even claimed it was an earthquake...Shockwave damage is common when a bomb goes off nearby. It does not indicated the hospital itself was hit...And I dont understand why you keep asking me why it would be a military installation, im only disputing the claim that the hospital itself was targetted.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
no one made any assertions using the word, "targeted." the hospital was damaged by a bomb.
why would you assume that it was a military target?
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
The actual title of the post is; "First released footage of US-Israeli bombing of an iranian hospital on March 1st"
Maybe because on actual google maps there is an actual IRGC Police Headquarters half a mile to the southwest, matching the initial plume of smoke in the first few seconds of the video... https://maps.app.goo.gl/wb9Pqsndp8Xg4Yxk7?g_st=ac
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
so you're the only one using the word, "targeted." and then calling out others for a lack of proof of specific targeting. the hospital was bombed, that isn't in dispute.
you think the hospital suffered that kind of damage from a blast half a mile away? do you have proof that a police station was the intended target? if not, why would you make such an assumption. you're surely aware of the targeting of civilian structures, including schools.
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
It was not bombed and that is literally what is in dispute...
Yes...Explosives create shockwaves which can create damage...Especially at that distance.
Hospital location... https://maps.app.goo.gl/Tr5p7njX7qBoEGBS7?g_st=ac
Police HQ location... https://maps.app.goo.gl/xPKYsATUhwgd2mRm8?g_st=ac
Now draw a line between them with the understanding that the archway entrance we see in the video in the first few seconds is facing directly south...Now tell me where that explosion occured in relation to the information given. The explosion is very easily proveable to be in the predominantly south-southwest direction and approximately half a mile away. Strangely in the exact location the IRGC Police HQ and Helipads are located. If you deny this you either are not watching the video or are intentionally misleading like OP to push a narrative.
Lying and pushing false narratives is not justified, regardless of side.
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
the hospital was damaged by a bomb. you can dispute it's targeting, which only you have made an assertion regarding.
you do realize you have acknowledged that you have no proof of the intended "target," something you demanded. you made an assumption, and now you're calling other people liars. a little self-awareness would go a long way before pointing fingers and transposing terms.
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
What part of OPs title implies the Hospital was only damaged?
Why do you think I asked my original question? OP claimed that the Hospital was bombed in the title...I asked for proof that it was the intended target. None was provided...
kronstadt-sailor@reddit
you're either playing games or english isn't your native language.
or both.
minq465@reddit
You can literally see in the video that entire portions of the building were leveled, bro is tryna is distract from a blatant war crime with his "muh minor damage" strawman
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
Ok. Give me a timestamp...
minq465@reddit
-0:12 you can see a literal pile of rubble in the background. Bro go back to r/neoliberal, this is an anti-war sub, stop glazing Zionist warmongers
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
Any indication that its rubble related to the hospital with the unique front fascia? And not just rubble in an area nearby?
I dont think you understand the request for proof the hospital was bombed.
minq465@reddit
Not how burden of proof works. The video very clearly showed the hospital being bombed. You showed up and claimed that actually, the hospital was merely next to a military target being bombed. Where is your proof, then? You make the claim that contradicts the evidence, you show the proof.
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
No it doesnt...which is why I asked the question...
The fact some panels fell from the cieling, windows got blown inward, and the building simply shakes with people able to exit...You also see the explosion in the distance in the first few seconds...Everything indicated an explosion nearby that had a shockwave damage the hospital in the video. Nothing indicated the hospital itself was hit by a bomb or else we would have seen significantly more damage.
minq465@reddit
Bro is just straight up lying now lmao, "there is no war in ba sing se" type shit. I'm thoroughly convinced you're either a fed or one of those obnoxious contrarian types

True that
dagbiker@reddit
It is a war crime to shoot at a medic on the field, even during a battle, if they are a non combatant trying to issue medical assistance, they are off limits. It doesn't matter.
Un0rigi0na1@reddit
That has nothing to do with me asking for proof that the hospital was targetted.
