Spokespeople for the US Department of Defense and the Israeli army told Time magazine and The Associated Press news agency that they were unaware that a school had been hit.

Some websites and social media accounts linked to Israel claimed the site was “part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base”.

However, an analysis by Al Jazeera’s digital investigations unit of satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, tells a very different story.

The findings reveal that the school had been clearly separate from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years.

      To be completely transparent, I really believe we, including Nazi Germany during Hitler’s rise and reign, there is both copying and scaffolding. One-upsmanship? Just building on the foundation that’s already been laid? Why not both?!

      A pity it’s not for our better inclinations. We can address that.

        Agreed. And as long as we are still cursed with western dominated capitalism, this will continue to be the way. Hopefully for not much longer.
