When you’ve got ‘Reports: At least 500 killed in strike on Gaza hospital’ on the flipper, with the journalist on the ground describing how this could only be a Israeli strike, I do think there is a serious issue there when you look at what later transpired and what actually turned out to be the case.

It is still unclear "what actually turned out to be the case" and it may be some time before we know exactly what happened. Channel 4 News and Al Jazeera have both disputed Israel's claims in the past 24 hours but BBC News say that they have not seen enough evidence to verify either claim.

The BBC are being extremely careful in what they report and were very clear during their initial reporting that the source of their reporting was "according to Palestinian officials." While the BBC apologised for the reporter's wording, it is important to also note this: “At no stage did he actually say it was caused by the Israelis."

Either way, this forum is made for the discussions of the 2008 globe and not for discussing politics.
