... or so I've been informed by right-wing antisemites.
Here's the media parroting Hamas' nonsense claims about the Israelis bombing a hospital in Gaza.
Lots of Jewish propaganda outlets news media sites ran with this. AP, UPI, WSJ, WaPo, a bunch of them. The story was debunked by photos of the hospital, still standing, but with a parking lot of wrecked cars from where a Palestinian rocket had hit after going badly off course.
And yet, for some on the right, the antisemitism marches on, claiming that "the Jews" are some monolithic force for global domination that controls what we see, hear and read. If that's true, then they're no risk to anyone because they are simply awful at their jobs as you can see from all the news media sites pushing Hamas lies.
Meanwhile, on the left, the antisemites hate the Jews because they are white-Christian-adjacent. Hamas, being darker-skinned and following a different religion, are clearly the good guys even when they paraglide into a music festival to slaughter and rape.
I suppose that if you want badly enough to hate someone for their race or religion, you're going to do it and no amount of logic and data is going to stop you.

Friday's Garage Logic had Rabbi Michael Barclay on for a long interview.
It was fascinating.
I've never understood the hatred of the Jews. Now I know the reasons. And they are stupid.
Reminds me of a Bob Dylan song from the early 80s about Israel. Can't remember its name. While it's well written, it's biggest failing is Bob is singing.

Not sure WSJ should be in that list. Last night — Sat 10/21 — I watched a WSJ video composed from several video sources showing a rocket malfunctioning and ultimately landing in the courtyard of the hospital.
Noting the date of your post I went back and looked at the original story — front page Wed 10/18. Article said Hamas blamed Israel but Israel’s PM’s office said there were clear indications of a misfire by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
