At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.

The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.

“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.

Uh huh. Then why aren't there almost 1000 Israeli military dead and injured instead of almost 1000 Palestinian dead and injured?

More lies again. As always.

When did they come under fire? Before or after doing air strikes?

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 5 months ago

This is a ridiculous take. They didn't come under heavy fire because they didn't take heavy losses? It's their very heavy response to the heavy fire that minimized their losses while taking a high toll on Palestinian civilians and militants.

Do you think the hostages were unguarded and free to leave at any time because Israel said otherwise?

Right, right... and Auschwitz wasn't a death camp - it was a pitched battle between a small group of heroic Nazis and overwhelming Jewish forces. Their clever use of Zyklon-B ensured the Nazi heroes didn't suffer heavy casualties.

/s for all the shitlibs that can't smell all the hasbara stinking up this community.

Why were they holding military hostages in a refugee camp?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 40 points 5 months ago

Because Hamas is just a shitty as Israel. The only difference seems to be that Israel is far, far more effective.

Where else would it be safe to hold the hostages? The rest of the area is getting bombed to oblivion. Most of the hostages are probably under rubble.

Israel detains many Palestinians including hundreds of minors without charge, on bases right in the middle of civilian towns. Heck, IDF headquarters is right in the middle of a civilian neighborhood in Tel Aviv. Does that mean Tel Aviv is a legitimate military target?

I would feel guilt for the rest of my life if I were one of the rescued hostages. My life is not worth that many dead.

Easy to say that while not being a hostage.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 20 points 5 months ago

Some of the loudest voices in the anti-war movement in Israel have been families of hostages. Considering the track record of their military action, exchanges and peace talks are a far safer way for their family members to be returned, and they are not happy in their loved ones being used as a pretext for a purge of Gaza's civilian population.

But I'm guessing you're not Israeli, and therefore been indoctrinated since birth to see Palestinians as some sort of wild animals to be culled and kept at bay.

Those single quotes are doing some work.

[-] kingshrubb@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Not surprising as Israel's government has shown the world that they don't care about human life. They literally have concentration camps.
