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.

        If they value their statehood, yes.

        If Germany took care of their Nazi problem before it festered, the rest of the world wouldn’t have had to deal with the entirety of World War II, and German citizens wouldn’t have been punished with the brutal East/West division of its country. Countries should not tolerate fascism and terrorism within their own ranks, no matter who’s side they are on.

      Overthrow the violent military group holding them hostage?

      That’s had Israel’ tactic approval to act as preferred enemy, which has international support?

      Good fucking luck.

        In Gaza, they did in the mid 2000s. They even evicted all Jewish settlers and settlements, some at gunpoint; in an effort to secure peace.

      Palestine

      And what government body do you propose is “Palestine”. This is why Israel is an apartheid state.

      I’m sure Hamas thought the same thing about Israeli citizens and the Gaza blockade.

      Remember everyone: It’s okay when white people do it.
