The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.
The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.
Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.
Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.
i think the most intelligent posture about all of this is to take both the palestinians and the israelis as ultra-nationalist, bloodthirsty beasts and do not take side for any of them
I don’t condone the violence of Israel as a state. Hamas clearly consists of individual actors behaving like isis terrorists, therefore I don’t agree. Also this gives me major Bataclan, Paris flashbacks.
like, idk, i would pick side for palestine before, but after this all my goodwill for the palestinian cause is gone, but i also would not pick side for the israelis because they dont have any reagrd for the lives of the palestinians, i only hope that this will end up soon and that no nuclear weapons will be used
We shouldn’t be discounting entire peoples like that. Nobody is born a nationalist. Every citizen in both countries deserves to live a life free of terror or strife, and instead they were manipulated against each other by a small number of evil people.
Nationalism is a poison and we should be seeking to cure the afflicted, both for their own sake and the sake of all of us.
the most intelligent posture is surely to take the side of the oppressed and the innocent which obviously will include a great deal of both Palestinian and Israeli human beings.
