Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.
Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.
So they are not believing the Pentagon’s assessment? Or just don’t care and going with feels instead?
Pentagon also said Iraq had Weapon of Mass Destruction 🤷♂️
Also said Russia was going to invade Ukraine, and people were skeptical of it for the exact same argument.
Sometimes they’re right. You can’t take them as an absolute authority nor always lying. In the broader context, with analysis that other independent groups have done, it seems to me they’re telling the truth here.

True, but different time, different administration, different circumstances. Just because a government lied once doesn’t necessarily mean everything they say in the future is a lie, but certainly should be taken with a grain of salt.
…and the USS Maddox was struck by the north Vietnamese…
Yeah, I definitely trust the pentagon not to have a motive to lie about it. After all, they’ve proven to be trustworthy in the past! You gotta support the veterans, they never lie!
As a former service dog trainer who trained dogs specifically for disabled veterans there’s a reason I refuse to talk about the military and how it treats their people.
