Whoever's munitions caused it, that's horrendous.

I agree in regards to the framing of the previous reports btw. Based on what was presented the evidence pointed towards it being Israel. Now it feels like it's the opposite or a fog of information.

Exactly, and that's one of my other prickly takes on Biden's words. It's not language to use in context of a humanitarian tragedy never mind from a statesman.

The death toll is in question still as well though. I'm pretty sure when Israel say that the toll was exaggerated they didn't mean by 10s so don't really know what's true right now.

Indeed so Fields. Utterly appalling language, and not so far off the sort of language that people like 30p Lee would no doubt use in the UK too in a similar situation.

btw, on the way the Beeb were reporting this initially, this was their twitter at around 6:50pm yesterday
Undoubtedly that sort of clear language helped start the narrative about what happened.

It's a hard one because how do you report it when you first hear about it? Initially there would be no thought it could be anything different.
