From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces.

This includes Israel’s assault of Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday that killed 274 Palestinians, including 64 children, and injured 698 others, with Israeli forces carrying out one of the most deadly single attacks of their genocidal siege so far in order to retrieve four Israelis held hostage in Gaza. The attack was carried out on a bustling civilian center in the middle of the day, raising questions about whether Israeli forces violated international law.

The 11-day death toll also includes at least 70 Palestinians killed and over 300 wounded due to heavy Israeli shelling in central Gaza on June 4, MSF said; and at least 40 Palestinians killed and 74 wounded on June 6, when Israel bombed a UN school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat. The killings of hundreds of Palestinians in other Israeli attacks, ranging across southern, central and northern Gaza, in the first days of June have otherwise been largely ignored by news outlets, and are hardly documented by official sources.

Behind each death is a horrifying story of a Palestinian who lived through months of displacement, constant bombardment, hunger and likely the loss of family members, bearing witness to the 37,000 people killed by Israel in Gaza over eight months just to themselves be killed by Israeli forces. Survivors recall horrors, like children who recount being pulled out of the rubble of their homes, and the pervading smell of death.

Is Hamas continuing to hold hostages really worth all of this death?

Hamas is refusing to agree to a ceasefire and release the hostages. So the death an destruction continues. How many more people will die while people far away from the conflict romanticize Hamas as noble “freedom fighters”?

Hamas is in the right to make sorties and take hostages when besieged.

No they don’t. Taking civilians hostage is an actual war crime according to international law. Deliberately killing people based on their ethnicity is genocide. Which is what Hamas did on October 7.

Because it all happens in the framework of a siege by Israel.

Israel has a right to build a fence on their border. Obviously not a good plan, since the fence wasn’t effective, but they have a right to do that.

Blockades are also legal and defined in the oldest of international law, Maritime Law.

If it’s subjectively beneficial for the state of Israel to wipe out Gaza, and they have plenty of agents in Hamas

If you believe that, then why are you supporting Hamas?

And if it’s a ceasefire, then after it Israel can continue killing as they want, and Hamas won’t have any hostages anymore

Yes they would no longer be committing a war crime. Will Hamas send the people responsible for this war crime to face justice at the ICJ? Or does the ICJ only exist to punish supposed crimes by Israel but Hamas can commit any crime it wants without fear of punishment?

While claiming that Israel is dehumanizing Palestinians you’re dehumanizing Israelis. A lot of people were brutally slaughtered on October 7, and you’re incapable of understanding the repercussions because you don’t think of Israelis as people deserving of life. Seems you’re doing a lot of projection of your tendency to dehumanize others onto other people.

Try to be a better person.

Hamas has agreed to a permanent ceasefire and hostage release for months. Israel has refused anything other than a temporary pause, because they want to bomb Gaza regardless

How many more people will die from this violent Apartheid State commiting genocide?

Where did you hear this from? A website that shows you photos of crying Palestinians with a “donate” popup over it? Or from a monetized TikTok channel?

How many people have to die before people stop sending money to Hamas billionaires in Qatar that profit from the suffering of Palestinians (along with TikTok and many other sites)?

Where did you hear this from?

Reuters, BBC, AP Newswire, NYT, CNN, NBC, NPR, ABC, MSN, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, Cat Fancy, the extremely Jewish deli at the corner, and every reputable news source on planet earth is reporting this.

Where are you hearing your news? Did they also try to sell you horse paste, colloidal silver elixir and survival powder?

Your comments are a textbook illustration of how every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Never in history has a conservative entered a discussion in good faith. Never.

Hamas did accept the peace deal. And it evaporated. Again. Israel is the one consistently sinking deals. Even to the point of telling Biden they support one and then publicly humiliating him when he announces they’re on board.

Yup. The Hamas leaders in Qatar are literally billionaires from all of this. TikTok influencers are also making some serious money from their monetized videos about this. This truthout site linked about pops up asking for donations in front of an image of crying Palestinians.

The suffering of Palestinians is very profitable for a lot of people.

36 children were killed in total on Oct 7. This includes israeli friendly fire.

More than 15.000 children have been killed in Gaza since then.

15000/253 = 59 children killed by israel per day

Almost double of Oct 7. Each day. And I’m probably undercounting the Palestinian children and also counting all israeli friendly fire.

40.000/253*7 =1107 Gazans killed each week by israel.

Slightly under the 1136 on oct7.but substract the at least 70 confirmed friendly fire casualties from israel and it is more. And I’m not even sure why we’re including the 373 IDF soldiers in the 1136.

Be fucking accurate

They approximately are, you just can’t read. They claimed there’s an Oct 7th per WEEK, not per day. If you divide your final number by 7, you get approximately 40k, which is very close to the 35k+ VIOLENTLY murdered by Israel since Oct 7th (not counting all the thousands that have died since as a consequence of hunger and preventable diseases).
