Doppler Effect analysis of two videos of the Al-Ahli hospital attack

This is an interesting source of evidence, but I think the analysis might be wrong because it only accounts for the direction of lateral motion, and doesn't account for the fact that the main direction of travel around the moment of impact isn't northeast or west, it's _down_. The speed would also not have been constant.

I believe you would get the same effect even if it was traveling straight down: rising pitch from acceleration due to gravity, then falling pitch as the angle to the camera goes from zero to 90 degrees.

Ballistic missiles follow a ballistic trajectory so missile doesn't go 90

Who could have predicted that the obvious suspect did the thing that they had done before? Next you’ll tell me that the US bombed Nordstream or that China is covering up the lab leak.

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that when launching thousands of ghetto rockets made from dug-up water pipes and stolen fertiliser, a few of them won’t go a hundred percent to plan.

I don't think your "obvious" is the same as that of the person you're replying to.

I was hoping that that point comes through. There’s no font or symbol for sarcasm unfortunately except perhaps /s.

But in general war is about destruction and death. There is no scenario where one side gets away clean. There’s going to be training accidents, friendly fire, cook offs, equipment failure, and so on at a minimum.

People sometimes think that this stuff is like the movies where the heroes are perfectly good and walk away unscathed.

(Meanwhile the amount of casual property damage from even a single superhero fight ought to land both participants in jail at a minimum, even if they don’t accidentally kill some bystanders without even realising it.)

I think both sides of the war are horrible war criminals, but Israel has repeatedly both bombed civilians and lied about bombing civilian, so it’s Occam’s razor that they did it here too, and the burden of proof is on them to provide any evidence at all for misfire theory.

Only one side is launching rockets with a 25% failure rate.

All evidence is that Israel reliably hits their targets with precision.

People with an agenda — an axe to grind — are saying that clearly Israel specifically targeted the hospital. But missed. But it’s the intention that’s evil, because they must have wanted to hit it, and the fact that they missed it and it’s still standing is just more evidence of their failure as a nation. Hence they must be destroyed, or something.

PS: If you blindly accept the propaganda of one side over the other, then that side will abuse your blind faith mercilessly for selfish special interests. Interests that don’t actually align with yours. Don’t believe either side on faith. Use your brain.

But will we ever really know who shot down Pregozhin? Makes u think.
