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.
When do you start the timeline though? The Palestine / Israel conflict has been going for 100 years right? Are you comfy saying Israel is the original aggressor?
Full disclosure: I dislike all fundamentalist religious societies. I don’t believe in holy land, and I think people on both sides are reaping what they’ve sown by insisting they are gods chosen people. So I’m not defending Israel, but I’m not defending Palestine (and especially Hamas) either.
Obviously Israel is the original aggressor
Then please point to the original aggression
Didn’t I already explain this to you like 5 times?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba
Like I said in my previous comments addressing your ignorance, EDUCATE YOURSELF on the situation if you insist on commenting on it.
Sorry its just so rare to find someone who completely understands every aspect of a 100 year war and has all the answers.
So nothing that happened pre-Nakba matters, Amin al-Husseini and the attacks in the 1920’s don’t count because reasons?
You don’t have to understand every aspect to know that Israel is the aggressor, which you continue to try to cast doubt on. Which leads me to believe you’re either a Zionist or otherwise motivated to make Palestinians look bad, based on your comment history and refusal to acknowledge things such as Israel literally helping create Hamas, and your reluctance to distinguish between Hamas and Palestinians.
You’re either letting your hatred for religion dictate your views, or you’re bigoted.
And ofc pre-Nakba matters, but Nakba was the beginning of the apartheid that Palestinians are currently living under, and perhaps the single greatest determining event in the conflict, in addition to being the start of the state of Israel and thus organized violence by Israel against Palestine.
Lol all my comments make it clear I hate zionists. Fuck zionists.
So you admit there’s no single starting point for the conflict if pre-nakba events are taken into account, you just like to make an incredibly complex issue black and white to make yourself feel smart then? Its fine for Palestinian nationalists to take actions to expel jews from the region that became Israel, but because Israel formed a state to defend itself, they are in the wrong?
If neither side were fundamentalist shit heads trying to destroy their neighbors way of life, they wouldn’t have these problems. When Arabs were the majority with the power the killed and drove the jews out in the name of nationalism, now the Israelis do the same
And both groups disgust me, and would hurt and destroy my way of life if they had the power to do so. If pslestinian Arabs wanted to use the dhemmi system when they had power, what right do they have to insist equal treatment now? Bunch of hypocrites
The world would be better off if Jerusalem were wiped off the planet. Then no one gets it. Problem solved.
No. Stop putting words in my mouth. I’ve told you off for that multiple times already.
Not true. pre-Nakba events set the stage for the Nakba, which was the beginning of the nation of Israel, the Apartheid and systemic oppression of Palestinians, and created the conditions for Hamas to rise to power.
No, Israel is in the wrong because the formation of that state included intentionally killing, displacing, and erasing the culture of Palestinians in a process that can be described with stages 0-8 of genocide, headass.
Not when you’re parroting Zionist rhetoric (see above) and dog whistles in many of your comments.
You paint it as an equal, reciprocal relationship. It’s not. Israel kills many times more people, they began the oppression, Palestinians are currently living under apartheid controlled by Israel.
This is why I say you sound like a Zionist. You continue to deny that Israel is the oppressor, despite the overwhelming evidence that shows how Israel is currently and has oppressed.
Again, for the 5th time, HAMAS WOULDN’T EXIST WITHOUT ISRAEL’S OPPRESSION. It cannot be one-sided when one side created the other through oppression.
Okay and nationalism/being hostile to immigrants isn’t the same as colonizing, intentionally destroying the culture of, and oppressing an indigenous people. Why are you conflating the two? It’s a false equivalency, as is every other comparison you make regarding this situation because you’re blinded by your hatred of religion (and quite possibly also some racism in there).
Again, you’re conflating Hamas and Palestinians. There are Christian and atheist Palestinians, and many Arab Palestinians who are not extremist.
Okay so I’m not sure if you your hateful little brain is capable of comprehending this, but people do not deserve to live in apartheid and have their entire peoples oppressed and put through genocide because some of their great-great-grandparents may have supported a discriminatory power structure that could have been implemented.
The only hypocrite here is you, using your hatred of religion to justify and minimize human rights abuses, while whining nonstop about how hateful religion is towards your way of life.
We get it, you’re a racist atheist who enjoys seeing religious people kill each other. Now go fuck off and stop spreading hate and misinformation about a situation that has enough of that.
You can fuck off first, no one is forcing you to talk to me.
So pre-Nakba counts, but also doesn’t count.
Israel is to blame because they formed a state, which ‘set the stage’ for these events, and made them ‘colonizers’, but violence against jews pre-Israel was fine because they didn’t have a state so that violence was in the name of nationalism, not colonizing, so its ok violence
I have a ‘hateful little brain’ for bringing up events that happened in the time of ‘great-great-grandparents’, but Palestinians are justified in hanging on to land ownership rights from the times of their great-great-grandparents.
I’m a ‘hateful atheist’ for pointing out that people who identify as fundamentalist followers of violent ideologies are statistically more likely to kill not only each other, but secular people like me. I should do my best to elevate these people so they can have the opportunity to force their religion and culture on me next. (Real paradox of tolerance test there - also, did you read this as applying to only Palestinians who support Hamas? it also applies to Israelis who are zionist. )
I get that Israel is kicking the shit out of Gaza recently. I think you get that if Palestine had all the power, they’d be kicking the shit out of Israel. Its just that you think that would be justified because you’re a racist/bigot/insert one of your insults here.
I also get that Israel is shitty for killing kids in Gaza. Thats why fuck zionists / fuck Israel - they got the land they wanted, and they wouldn’t stop.
Religious bullshit never stops.
