The Israeli military had US support in rescuing four captives from Gaza in a “complex daytime operation” in Nuseirat that killed over 200 Palestinians.
A US official told Axios that the US hostages cell in Israel had “supported” the effort to rescue the captives.
The Palestinian government media office in Gaza said the death toll from Israel’s attack on central Gaza had reached at least 210, with 400 more wounded.
“The occupation has annihilated the Nuseirat refugee camp. Innocent and unarmed civilian were bombed in their homes. I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a catastrophe,” local Nidal Abdo told Middle East Eye.
"I came from the camp to here in the hospital on foot. I can’t describe how we fled. I saw dead children and body parts strewn all over as we fled. No one was able to assist them. I saw an elderly man killed on a animal-drawn cart.
“Nuseirat was being annihilated. It was hell.”
It said: “American participation in the criminal operation that was carried out today proves once again the complicit role of the American administration, its full participation in the war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip, [and] the falsity of its declared positions on the humanitarian situation and its concern for the lives of civilians.”
“We know where our people are but Hamas has surrounded themselves with their own citizens. What should we do?”
“Damn. I guess we’ll have to abandon our people then. Pack it up.”
Stop letting Hamas’ tactic work on you.
In the US the suicide hotline is 988.
I don’t follow
4 adults for 23 kids is not worth it.
I would say that everyone of them should be reminded what their rescue cost repeatedly, but that’s not fair to them and the others are like you and think the trade is worth it.
Stop letting Israel’s tactics work on you.
Darn. Guess we just have to let Hamas and anyone who comes after do whatever they want as long as they keep their human shields nearby.
Whatever you have to tell yourself to be okay with killing kids friend.
It’s s probably just “they’re brown”
Keep reducing everything to the color of people’s skin and you’ll continue to be confused about lots of other people’s positions on a wide variety of topics.
I’m sure it makes life simpler for you though.
Just in case you’re not totally gone, consider the Russia Ukraine conflict.
If Ukraine took action to recover their kidnapped citizens and it ended like this one did, I’d hold the exact same position. And gasp their skin is white!
Unlike lots of “progressives”, my opinion of right and wrong doesn’t change with people’s skin color.
You didn’t even need to use that conflict as an example. Most Israelis are brown.
They’re less brown then the people they’re killing and unfortunately that’s all that matters to a lot of people.
Ok, you’re just a regular piece of shit, not a racist one.
I guess that’s better
Isarel: Forcibly displaces people again, again and again, cramming them into less and less space.
You: Why is Hamas surrounding itself with Civillians, that is so evil!!!
Israel: Lets use aid trucks to bring our fighters in and slaughter random people. It is a clear warcrime to abuse humanitarian infrastructure to transport combatants, but who cares.
You: Oh my gosh. They did so well with their war crimes. It is totally justified because i am closeted racist, so who cares about women and children being murdered if they aren’t part of my group
Y’all mind if we stop pretending Hamas isn’t totally cool with getting their own citizens killed?

This is such a tired response, I’ve already replied to it here.
Ah yes the NYT, that bastion of truth regarding the Israelis.
Did they ever figure out who leaked all that?
They sure spent a lot of time trying to figure out who leaked it instead of actually strengthening their journalistic practices
We’ll ignore the fact that martyrdom is tightly intertwined with their religion.
They’re religious fanatics. Similar to US conservatives which I assume you’d have no problem criticizing.
Your reply doesn’t address my assessment of Hamas’ attitude toward their own citizens. It’s nice and snarky though and will do well here on Lemmy.
So, this comes down to trusting NYT reporting, something they have shown they are not capable of deserving.
Hummus are terrorists, fuck them and I hope that anyone involved in terroristic activities dies in pain.
I like how you completely ignored everything I said though.
You didn’t say shit. You conveyed your distrust of NYT.
I guess we only have the EU to reference here too: https://www.voanews.com/a/eu-condemns-hamas-for-using-civilians-at-gaza-hospitals-as-human-shields-/7353026.html
Should I find more?
Doesn’t VoA stand for voice of America?
Again, you’re overly concerned with the source rather than the content. Do you think VOA is making up an EU condemnation?
That can’t be because anyone who thinks that would simply open another tab in their browser and look for a different source which may corroborate this one.
So you just want to be obtuse. Literally nothing I say will convince you. Considering that, I think we’re done here.

Or, you know, they could just get them all back by agreeing to a peace deal and not killing anyone
