Doctors accuse Israeli troops of desecrating bodies and shooting civilians at hospital Israel says was Hamas ‘command center’
Israeli soldiers raiding a hospital in northern Gaza desecrated the bodies of deceased patients with bulldozers, let a military dog maul a man in a wheelchair, and shot multiple doctors even after vetting them, according to allegations by staffers and patients at Kamal Adwan hospital, where Israeli ...

I don't understand why people believe them.
When Russia bombed civilian churches, apartments, hospitals, and said they were being used as military command centers and such, nobody believed them, it was an obvious lie.
But when Israel says it the whole world just says "Wow makes perfect sense, good job!"
Because calling something that Israel does bad is obviously antisemitic!
This goes deeper than many people realize. Netanyahu has spent the last couple decades getting criticism of the Israeli government codified as anti-semitism in countries around the world. You can actually lose government funding in many Western countries for "anti-semitism" that's just pointing out the Israeli government is bad.
Israel put up this whole thing about Tunnels. The thing is, Hamas does use tunnels. But Israel took that as an excuse to bomb anything that even looked like a tunnel on a drone video feed. With 2,000 pound bombs because of course every tunnel in Gaza is obviously super fortified.
The problem with that logic is that Gaza did have modern infrastructure. That means basements, under ground maintenance tunnels, or even just a shelter because Israel bombs Gaza about as often as a Tornado hits in the Midwest. With nothing more than a "hatch" or "tunnel entrance" as evidence, it's 100% war crime territory. But that requires people to actually think.
Most people aren't critical of the majority of the media they consume. If you live in a Western country, chances are that the media you get your news from frames Russia's invasion of Ukraine as illegal and immoral, and Israel's invasion of Gaza as legitimate self-defense.
Cognitive dissonance is front and center when people criticize Russia but not Israel.
Israel has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years, to put things into perspective.
