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.

I wonder how partying at a music festival was supposed to help the Palestinians.

Seems like it was just an excuse to make rich people feel good about themselves while having a good time.

It's a grassroots festival, it's not some richman party like burning man.

Keep talking out of your ass though.

So it was free? No $3 bottles of water? Lol, you must be pretty ignorant to the world around you.

And people didn't travel from Germany to go there?

I'd feel more sympathetic for them if they spent that money helping Palestinians instead of using them as an excuse to party.

Keep defending rich people feeling good about themselves by doing nothing of value. You seem like the kind of guy who doesn't understand people only have excessive wealth for events like this because others live in squalor.

What the fucking hell are you talking about? A party costing money to attend doesn't make it an exclusive event, and a persons choice to travel to a party, assuming that was the exclusive reason, makes that their own personal choice. You're jumping from one braindead assumption to another to arrive at absolutely wild conclusions.

Lol, I can tell you're innocent to the world around you.

persons choice to travel to a party

Really? It has nothing to do with wealth? Then I guess the Palestinians could've attended this event as guests of honor.

Lol, it never ceases to amaze me how ignorant you people are yet think you're knowledgeable. Give it a few more years, a bit more life experience, and you'll start to realize that money runs world. If it takes you longer than that, then good luck.

I'm gonna block you now because you don't seem to have anything of value to say. Just trying to bury your head in the sand and mine along with it, lol.

There were poor and average people at this. Poor people attend music as well.

Rich people don't deserve to be executed, raped, slaughtered, and kidnaped.

BTW: 20% of Israelis are living below the poverty threshold. Israel is the most expensive country in the OECD.

Seriously, do you think before you talk?

I'm so confused. it was a dance music festival with civilians. are they not allowed to have those? I fully support liberating Palestine. I also think Israelis should be able to have music festivals where people feel good about themselves while having a good time. what's wrong with that?

You are aware Israel is an apartheid state?

exactly what kind of life do you think average innocent citizens of an apartheid state deserve?

Was Netanyahu democratically elected or not?

Regardless, I don’t think the civilians deserve to die for that but I wouldn’t say they’re 100% innocent either.

They elected right wing extremist to “defend” them from the oppressed state they are invading.

Ben-Gvir is a terrorist.

Although in fairness it’s the US and UN who lined these dominoes up in the first place.

… My answer to you is “lets stop the apartheid and begin reparations so I can condemn all violence”
