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.

Serious question: How many children would you kill to save your child? The latest numbers I've found show at least 64 children died in this raid.

That is a lot of parents and siblings who will not forget this. They feel pain too, and will not respond well.

Yeah, but if they do anything about it, they're terrorists, which means you get to kill them. And if they don't, just kill them anyway, and if their parents or siblings...

All of them. I wouldn't sacrifice my own child for any number of other people.

Well the families of 64 newly dead children agree, and will continue the hated and animosity toward their killers. Where does it end?

When one side gives up, or no longer exists. That's how wars end. People these days are so far removed from actual wars that they seem to have forgotten how they work entirely.
