AP and Reuters have run with the initial claims coming from Hamas that the hospital was struck by an Israeli airstrike. This article disputes that.

I think you are falling into whataboutism.
Just because they expressed skepticism of one sides propaganda doesn’t mean they would accept the other side’s propaganda at face value.
I don’t think what I said is whataboutism–at least that wasn’t my intent.
I’m simply pointing out the few facts as we know them right now, as well as the extremely high degree of uncertainty around what actually happened.
I’m not on Israel’s side, I just want the truth…
Sadly, and to my point, truth is not something we can expect from either side of this conflict. Because as I was trying to point out, both sides might have had motive, both sides certainly had the opportunity, and both sides are basically certain to blame the other side regardless of what happened. So…
I think I tend to agree with the comment up the chain, that the best and most reasonable course of action is to wait for whatever evidence exists to surface before we collectively decide to buy into either side’s narrative about what happened. Talk is cheap, but I think anything that’s true can be proved, given enough time.
Please explain where he used whataboutism? Where did he relativise one evil with another?
