A British citizen is among dozens of festival attendees who are missing, kidnapped or presumed dead

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.

    It is what it is. The world needs some semblance of order and you can’t just go fucking killing this many civilians because somebody took your land. It doesn’t work and you can get fucked if this is how you think. Nobody’s saying Israel is the good guy here. Fact is, everyone here sucks, there’s no good guy just a bunch of innocent fucking civilians who don’t deserve any of this on either side.

      So by this logic, Native Americans should’ve just accepted Manifest Destiny?

      The rest of your statement is fine, the first part is stupid.

      Edit: this isn’t support for Hamas’ actions, this is the consequence of Israel’s very real policies and actions that lead to stupid people with a lot of anger targeting civilians
