These accusations seemed credible enough for the US and many other countries to withdraw funding
Because AIPAC and other pressure groups force the majority of US politicians to pretend that the Israeli government is automatically right about everything and that to say otherwise is to support Hamas.
Meanwhile, the other countries are following along because they don’t want to get on the bad side of the US government.
so it seems they are more than mere accusations
No, that doesn’t follow at all. Governments sometimes act rashly with no evidentiary basis. Sometimes governments do things because other governments doing it makes them feel pressure to go along. This is an egregious example of both and likely to cost thousands of innocent civilian lives.
the NYT uncritically amplified claims that Israel bombed a hospital and killed hundreds early in the war
I guarantee you they didn’t. They treat the Israeli government like they treat cops: justified by default no matter what.
these claims were wild right off the bat and turned out to be competely false
Actually turned out to be an IDF rocket accidentally hitting the hospital. Given their history of doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING and then lying about it, suspecting the IDF of bombing a hospital on purpose is hardly “wild”.
Here you can see the damage that reporting like this has done, you’re still in denial about the hospital incident. If you want to see a great video by an analyst who isn’t a partisan hack (unlike Hasan Piker or whoever you saw on the topic) here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_1bFbk9MIQ
Sorry, I never click on random YouTube links from people obviously arguing in bad faith or from a position of immense bias. What they watch on YouTube tends to match what they say.

Claims linked person isn’t a partisan hack, linked person readily declares they’re a newsmax commentator, an incredibly partisan organisation.
