Rescuers recover more than 260 bodies at music festival attacked by Hamas
independent.co.uk

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.

Do you support everything your government does?

My government doesn’t have a 75% approval rating like Hamas does.

I have trouble believing any government truly has such high approval.

Did Germany support everything the Nazis did? No, not every citizen, but it was enough support to give Hitler his rise to power and descend into WWII.

Did Afghanistan support everything the Taliban did? No, but war was the only response to 9/11.

In the end, war sucks and many innocent people will be caught in the crossfire. But, I don't see any other end result out of this. Israel has been so beaten down by terrorist attacks and hostility since literally the day the country was formed that war is the only way forward. They have tried every other option for the last 50 years.

No but i still am part of my country. Every thing my government does represents my country and therefore me.

I have to disagree.

That's why you revolt and form revolutions. But, when a majority of the country is on the wrong side, that becomes the public face of the country.

The government represents the people, the people do not represent the government.

That mindset will lead you to boot licking

Everything my government does represents me, even when it doesn't represent me at all. Actually, nevermind.
