An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave’s government media office.
More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.
Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.
The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.
‘Horrifying massacre’: Iranian attack on Jerusalem kills at least 73 Israelis
… funny how this headline draws more attention than the real one
Yeah because there’s a lot of ghouls that celebrate the deaths of Israelis. There would be people dancing in the streets celebrating the deaths of Israeli civilians.
When Palestinians die it’s a sad consequence of a war that rational people hope will end soon. And that’s dependent on what’s left of Hamas releasing hostages, which only they can choose to do.
But sure, keep on believing you’re on the right side of things.
Did you spend a lot of time googling up some links from 10 years ago?
Meanwhile… https://duckduckgo.com/?q=palestinians+celebrating
Zero effort to find some good old fascist violent fervor on full display in the society Hamas created. And now Gaza looks a lot like how cities in Germany looked in 1945. Only question now is whether Palestinians can move past the politics of hate like Germans did.
Never said I support one side or the other … I think they’re all religious nuts
What I do find repugnant is the death of any human for completely stupid reasons, especially if the deaths are caused by other humans.
I don’t support religions or religious ideology … but I do respect all human life regardless of who believes in what.
This a completely stupid situation because no deaths should be taking place on any side and the world should just step in as the global referee, get these people to stop, sit down, negotiate and figure out a solution that doesn’t involve having to kill one side or the other. If we’re going to spend billions and trillions on bombs and guns for this problem … then we can invest in peaceful solutions rather than in trying to dance our way to nuclear war and killing far more people than those in the Middle East.
Israeli murder of civlians is so normalized that its hardly even making the news anymore.
Part of the problem is that the images suck. Honestly. Here we see a bunch of body bags, we know literally nothing about who’s in them. But on Oct. 7 there were lots of images and video of what happened, with people’s faces visible.
The most effective thing that could be done to support Palestinians, infinitely more effective than spray painting neighborhoods and camping in public spaces, would be to give them cameras and a means of releasing video. As long as it’s just numbers, no one will care.
The thing is. There’s been loads of first hand evidence about the victims. You know the person who got burned in the hospital with IVs still attached to his hand? His name is Shaban al-Dalou. He’s a 19 year old aspiring software engineer who never got to finish his studies and work as an engineer because he was murdered.
There’s a lot of stories like this, if you just want to look. The western media fucking surpresses this stories because they don’t want us to humanize the Palestinians.

I’ve lost faith at this point.
Canada’s Prime Minister just posted something about the October 7th incident like it’s the most horrible thing to happen in the Middle East, when there’s a literal Holocaust happening in all of Palestine.
It’s fucking tone deaf.
But he’s got the anti defamation league and B’nai B’rith breathing down his neck at the same time. So it doesn’t matter what we do or say or how much we write to them or protest, they still won’t fucking listen.
And somehow, the conservatives are high in the polls for the next election somehow.
It make zero sense.
I don’t think its a good idea to compare it to the holocaust.
Genocide takes many different forms. Its still a genocide even if the people aren’t being exterminated by toxic gas and their remains burned in ovens.
Gaza is still a concentration camp even if they’re not wearing prison clothes and forced to work for the Israeli State.
Genocides take many different forms, but if you call this a Holocaust then you’re just falling into a Hasbara trap that’s very easy to prove you wrong.
Call it a genocide, not a Holocaust.
Gaza is still a concentration camp even if they’re not wearing prison clothes and forced to work for the Israeli State.
It’s not a concentration camp, it’s a hostile foreign territory that carries on launching hundreds of rockets into Israel.
They’ve been systematically eliminating Gazans at this point. Concentrating them in camps and them bombing the camps. Setting fire to them with incendiary bombs. They’ve had snipers shoot children. They’ve been systematically and indiscriminately killing everyone. They’ve almost wiped out the entire population of Gaza.
What makes that different from a Holocaust?
According to History.com:
The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. The word “holocaust,” from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned), was historically used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an altar.
After years of Nazi rule in Germany, dictator Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution”—now known as the Holocaust—came to fruition during World War II, with mass killing centers in concentration camps. About six million Jews and some five million others, targeted for racial, political, ideological and behavioral reasons, died in the Holocaust—more than one million of those who perished were children.
What’s happening right now is no different from that. Anyone that’s Arab in the region has faced state-sponsered persecution and mass murder. Israel is burning everything down from Gaza to the West Bank to Lebanon and it’ll keep going beyond those borders into Syria and even Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
That’s their “final solution”. It’s to kill everyone in those region or get rid of them one way or another. They’re experimenting how far they can push the limits of their international support.
If you think I’m wrong, I’d like to hear your arguments.
What you’re describing is a genocide. Its a genocide that’s very different from the holocaust.
Damn, Canadian politics sounds pretty bad too right now. Seems like Fascism is rising everywhere in the Western countries
Every action helps, the more public pressure the better
For my fellow Americans:
It makes a bit more sense when you remember countries like Canada, the UK and Germany are on America’s leash.
Israel should be abandoned by the U.S. entirely at this point. There is no reason to continue any type of relationship with these genocidal shitbags.
