The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.

The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.

Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.

Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.

    I see your intent here but you’re going to have to say you killed all the Iraqis and Afghanis who didn’t deserve to die in our wars in the middle east, if you’re going to say Palestine is the one who did this.

    Sometimes bodies meant to represent and govern in fact do not represent while they govern.

      No, to be consistent they’d have to say America killed them. No need to switch from blaming a country to blaming an individual citizen.

      I think a majority of Americans would admit America killed them.

        I think it’s quite obvious they were using the royal ‘you’, as in America (almost every American assumes everyone else is also American in the internet unless otherwise stated).

        And they’re right, American soldiers did unspeakable things in Afghanistan and Iraq, but that doesn’t mean all Americans are responsible for the decisions those soldiers made.

            I do hope you’ll appreciate that everyone isn’t American though and assuming any given poster is is borderline insulting.

              Oh well. There’s a lot of big problems in the world and that’s not fucking one of them to me so carry on.

              I’m going to let you be a big boy and choose whether you want to be insulted or not, I don’t care either way, it’s YOUR choice.
