US involved in Israeli operation in Nuseirat that killed over 200 Palestinians
Four captives released and taken to hospital as Israeli bombs pound central Gaza
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."
I wonder how the four hostages feel that their rescue involved the murdering of dozens of women and children on the same day.
I would hope they have the empathy to feel guilty about that, but considering what the general Israeli poster (and Israeli population member, based on polls) is like, I doubt they view Palestinians as human.
23Or like Ekaterina Shulman said about polls in Russia related to politics and war: "Average person when asked a question thinks «What do I think? I think same as others. What others think? They think what was said on TV»".
8Feel guilty for getting captured by one set of murdering lunatics and then freed by another set? Why? What was their misdeed? Going to a concert? Surviving a massacre?
-3It's called Survivor's Guilt. It may not be rational, but emotions often aren't. And yes, they're likely to wind up with it for both surviving the October 7th raid AND for the deaths in the raid that freed them. Along with all sorts of other trauma related mental health issues.

Man, I don't know how I could stomach that guilt. Knowing that your rescue came at the cost of many more innocent civilians killed and wounded, including children. I don't think I'd be able to look at any of the victims who survived in the face, let alone grieving family.
What's really twisted is it isn't the hostages' faults either that all those people died. I don't know if I'd even blame the kidnappers for those deaths. Surely the IDF could've done more to prevent civilian deaths.
It would take a monstrous person to not feel considerable guilt after this. I guess we'll find out the type of person these hostages are.

Can we finally say that Biden is directly killing children now?
18Its weird that the Whitehouse does not mention USA involvement in the action that saved 4 but killed hundreds
10A deal has been on the table for weeks now. A deal that would've released all the hostages and would've caused zero Palestinian deaths. I guess to the average Israeli one of their citizens goes for at least 50 Palestinians though.
9Israel also lost soldier
sin the rescue operation so its even worse than that1
Rumor: There are allegations with some still non conclusive footage floating that the IDF used a fake humanitarian aid truck during the rescue operation to get into the camp
And that the hostages were evacuated at the American temporary pier.
As UNRWA = Hamas is allowed without any evidence, surely we can post these allegations here.
8So, US had been reluctant to allow Ukraine to strike Russian military assets deep within Russia with American weapons; but at the same time, US handwaves away Israelis killing Palestinian civilians using massive American military package.
Biden-- you could not be any more of an ass without a spine.
5The fact that the hostages were located in a refugee camp says a lot every day is an opportunity to give up the hostages. The Palestinians are all complicit. Why do they not pressure Hamas to give them back? Because they are 100% aligned with Hamas. And people want to claim they are innocent? That claim has lost its legitimacy. Think what you want.
-6I think most civilians in Gaza are busy trying to survive. People are starving and trying to avoid being killed. Constantly moving. Even if starving refugees did run in to one of the hostages, how and to who would they relay this information? And with that information relayed, what could the informant expect happen to the the camp that they stay in?

The majority of Palestinians I have on Facebook cheered and posted demeaning stuff when the original Hamas attack happened.
I understand they don't like Israel, but rejoicing and being assholes about regular people being raped and murdered really won't get me to care about your cause.
I don't like the Israeli government at all, but Hamas and the people who support Hamas can fuck right off.
-7palestinians should shut up while being Genocided for the last 20 years with Zionists having a party about it and America supporting it.
Good thing you stood up for them before Oct7. They can always count on you.
2You're just larping at this point. You don't care about the Palestinians either -this much is certain.
Kony 2012, amirite?

Why on earth do you mostly have pro-terrorist facebook friends? Did you not realise you can just block people like that?

Glad to see 4 hostages rescues. Fuck Hamas.
-17How deranged do you have to be to think that it's okay to murder more than 200 innocent people to save 4? Imagine that there's a hostage situation somewhere near you, and the outcome is "we saved the 4 hostages, unfortunately 200 bystanders died". I can not comprehend how you can be so mentally disturbed that you can be okay with that.
32Glad to see 4 hostages rescued too.
Fuck Israel for their thinking 4 people are worth that.
