Over 100 Bodies Uncovered in Single Israeli Village After Hamas Massacre
themessenger.com
The death toll means around ten percent of the kibbutz's population was wiped out
The bodies of more than 100 people were discovered by volunteers in a single, small Israeli village Monday — including those of children — believed to have been killed by Hamas militants caught on camera.
The remains were discovered in Be'eri, or Bari, a kibbutz in southern Israel close to Gaza. It's one of the villages Hamas militants invaded on Saturday as they began their attack on the country.
"Today the volunteers entered Kibbutz Bari and it is impossible to explain in words the terrible sights - some were adults, some were children. These are horrors that cannot be grasped in the mind or soul," a spokesperson for Zaka search and rescue told IDF radio.

Israel at least shows an attempt to target military and government buildings, where as Hamas always aims for civilians. And they use their own people as human shields. It's gotten harder and harder to sympathize, and keep seeing their point of view.
Lmao what? They cut off water to civilians. It's over. Palestinian women and children are going to be dying in massive numbers over the next week.
That doesn't even begin to include the number of Palestinian civilians being shelled to oblivion in the supposed "safe areas" designated by the authorities.
Hamas human shields
Israel: tells civilians where to seek shelter Israel: bombs the shelters You: fuck hamas
Source on bombing shelters? This is being repeated all over the place and I can't find anything

Edit Edit: this might not actually be a good example of my point. Gimme a few to get back to it.
But like, lets be real, Israel has been bombing civilian targets for years. https://apnews.com/article/israel-middle-east-business-israel-palestinian-conflict-fe452147166f55ba5a9d32e6ba8b53d7
And before anyone says "Hamas was actually hiding in the walls and between the floorboards", source? Just one reputable source with 3rd party verification.
Edit Edit Edit: Nah its good. It's not the best example of what I mean but it's a valid lesser example. I'll stand by it.
You mad bro??
They're not doing that right now, that's for sure.
Maybe something about blowing through the border like a bunch of orcs and murdering, raping and pillaging that makes you the bad guy. Where's the news story of Israel officials blowing up the wall, murdering innocent people and foreigners at a music festival while stripping them and parading them through the streets?
So the idf?
Show me the report of Israeli forces parading a naked foreigner through the streets after blowing up a music festival
Oh you got me that specific thing I can't show because why could I? I can do the same, show me one instance of a Palestinian executing a us citizen by bulldozer for 15 minutes.
Israel routinely bombs news buildings, wtf are you talking about?
Far be it for me to defend the IDF, but Hamas does go out of its way to create civilian death delimeas for Israel, such as using news buildings and hospitals for critical operations centers. It's a win/win, either Israel won't destroy that Hamas infrastructure, or they literally blow up journalists and hospitals.
I'm not even saying this to cast judgement one way, or another, it's just an objective statement of fact and these tactics are incredibly effective for the type of conflict they're engaged in.
If it’s an objective statement of fact then you can definitely provide sources where third parties have confirmed that information to be true, right?
Are you talking about that Hamas Radiostation?
"Tell me which war crime you're mad about so I can make up a lie to defend it"
What the fuck are you talking about?
Spew your hate elsewhere
"Accountability feels like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others."
Bro they're been demolishing civilian infrastructure for decades, most of the time Palestinian Gaza does not have power because Israel bombs the power station.
Hamas is shit but no yeah Israel kills thousands of civilians every year. They've killed 22 journalists in 20 years. They have hit news buildings with rockets, once calling for an evacuation first, for whatever fucking reason they had to hit those buildings I guess. Israel is an apartheid state. No, Hamas isn't giving a proper response.
It's for this human shield behaviour that this could be the beginning of the end for the whole of Palestine. Israel doesn't care anymore, so any civilians are going to be in the firing line too. All Hamas needs to do to bring about the end of Palestine is to keep using Palestinians as meat shields.
Civilians have always been in their firing line, what the fuck are you talking about? They're not human shields, they're just civilians being murdered by the IDF
Hamas launches rockets from a civilian site and tells people not to leave when IDF warns them the building will be targeted shortly
Israel is trying to limit collateral damage and Hamas is actively throwing people into danger
"the building" AKA hospital or school. Where's your evidence for the thing about them telling people not to leave? I know it's a common trope, but is there any actual evidence there?

Literally the opposite. Like in black and white, in the data on death tolls since 1948 or whenever you want to start counting. Palestine doesn't have a military, Israel doesn't allow them to. How would they be targeted if they don't exist? Every. Single. Time. Someone from
Hamas does something stupid out of desperation, takes out a couple Israeli soldiers, and Israel responds by slaughtering hundreds to thousands of Palestinian civilians. Completely disproportionate in every way.
Like it's kind of wild how much gall it takes to straight up REVERSE a statistic like that, and state it as fact. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I look forward to the evidence you will provide that disproves the UN's claim that Hamas purposely uses heavily populated civilian areas to stage attacks. Also, I think Hamas did more than "take out a couple Israeli soldiers" this time.
It is possible to condemn Israel's far right government while also recognizing Hamas as scum. We can simultaneously damn both for killing civilians without making it seem like one has given the other justification.
You're advocating for the rape, murder and kidnapping of women and children and I should be shamed of myself right? Palestine may have been a great state once, but now it's a terrorist stronghold and you can say Palestinians are a race but they're not, they're a nationality. They're Arab, and the Arab world hates and rejects them too cause they're extremists. Again what they were is what they were, now they're just a band of terrorists hanging on for dear life
I haven't advocated for shit, and people like you make good faith discussions about this topic impossible.
You clearly know very little actual history of the region.
agree. fuck hamas. every death of this conflict is on their hands
Maybe you shouldn't speak on this one bud
