We don’t even know who hit the school and what the circumstances were, but hey, why let that stop the White House from demonizing our ally?

Via The Hill:

The White House on Thursday pointed the finger at Israel for the shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza, calling the incident “totally unacceptable and totally indefensible.”

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said at this point “there’s not a lot of doubt” that the school was hit by Israeli artillery.

“All evidence points to Israeli artillery as the cause,” Earnest said, echoing what UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said about the attack earlier this week.

The school in Northern Gaza — which had been housing thousands of homeless people — came under fire on Wednesday, killing 16 people, according to multiple reports.

The White House spokesman said Israel “can and should do more to protect the lives of innocent civilians” and said the country’s military should live up to its standards of warfare.
