Outrage over ‘massacre’ in Gaza as Israel rescued four hostages
theguardian.com
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.

I think i'm slowly turning antisemitic
I'm sure this is a joke, but just in case, try to remember there are lots of Jewish people against Zionism and lots of gentiles for it. Try to remember that.
Yeah, I should have said that, sorry. It's just that this whole situations seems irrealistic.. like, the people that suffered a ethnic cleansing are trying to do the same, 70 years later? Wtf?
The entire history of the nation of Israel is basically proving the axiom that "hurt people hurt people," but on a geopolitical scale.
The error is to think they're "a people", rather than to think they're people.
Being a member of an ethnicity doesn't make one inherently better or worse nor do the actions or things that happened to some members of that ethnicity mean that other members are victims or aggressors by association.
You judge people by what they do and support themselves, not by what unrelated people who happen to be from the same ethnicity, gender, nation or so on do and say.
Looking at Israel with this in mind what you see is a country controlled by Fascists, specifically the most racist type (a lot more like Nazis than like the Italian kind) in a country were casual racism is incredibly widespread and which exists as the product of the theft and murder, not just originally but continued, from a different etnicity (hence the extreme racism: it's a neat piece of post-hoc logic justifying their own evildoing in their minds) .
Just because the people doing this are Jewish doesn't mean other Jews who do not support them are guilty by association and it also doesn't mean that they themselves are victims by association because other Jews were murdered by assholes with quite a similar kind of violent ultra-racist political thinking as these ones. These people's actions tell us all about who these people really are and how they deserve to be treated and their constant attempts at present one themselves as the entire ethnicity (to both spread the blame and derive gains from the victimization of other members of that ethnicity) is just a natural behaviour for ultra-racist Fascists and should be treated as such (remember how the Nazis claimed to represent the Arian Race and how every single Fascist group out there are flag shaggers?)
Don't let yourself fall for these Fascist's straight-out-of-Himmler's-book techniques: they're people who are Jews, they're not The Jews.
I love in the US and every year and my brother-in-law is an American jew. Last year it was shit from conservative racists. Today, it's shit because of something Israel did.
My guy is just trying to live his life and gets shit from so many sides.
I sincerely hope this is a poor attempt at a joke because that kind of statement has contributed directly to the current situation. It is not antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government, Zionism, or the IDF and its actions. It is antisemitic to say the reason you are criticizing those things is because they are all Jews.
Conflating those two not only makes it impossible to speak out against the atrocities being committed, it makes violence worse against Jews.
This is not the narrative that Israel is pushing or that the U.S. adopts legally.
Zionists are royally screwing over the Jews.
It's fucked up, Zionists say "all Jews support Israel because Israel IS Judaism" then when a Jewish person is attacked for what Israel does they say "see, it's the proof they're anti-semites, they attacked a Jewish person outside of Israel, if they were truly only against Israel they wouldn't have done that"
Zionists are literally using all foreign Jews as human shields. Putting them up as defacto Israeli representatives, then as martyrs.
That's well said, and on top of that Zionists actively stoke the flames of Judeophobia!
Spending all day looking at fascist propaganda will do that. Maybe take a break from all crazy internet narratives surrounding this story. It's not like you can do anything about a conflict on the other side for the world.
