“Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days
“Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days
“We can no longer accept the statement that Israel is taking ‘all precautions’ — this is just propaganda.”…
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.
I can't imagine this ever settling down. How could they ever become neutral let alone good neighbours ever after all this that Israel has been doing to Palestine during the past half year??!
It was bad before but this is unforgivable!
53The end goal is near-total eradication of the natives. Similar to native americans in the U.S. Israel is a settler state, much like the U.S was, and actively drove the natives out of their homes. They're almost done though, we're seeing some of the final acts of the ethnic cleansing/genocide.
Once there are barely any left, they'll feign sympathy to garner support, and that'll be that. Another win for imperialist settler states. Nothing unique or special about it.
54I'm sure there are plenty of Israelis that want to do this even if they won't admit it to themselves but this isn't the final anything. The IDF has killed around 37,000 Palestinians out of ~2.3 million. That's horrible but nowhere near the "barely any left" stage.
A genocide on the scale of millions takes industrial effort to accomplish. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but given Israel's reliance on foreign aid, current industrial capacity, and political position, it seems unlikely. My guess is Israel will take some more territory and the conflict (kinda tough to call the IDF bombing almost exclusively civilians a war) will peter out. Foreign aid will be allowed back in and Israel will put its mask back on.
Personally, I don't see how this doesn't end with half the middle east actively going to war with Israel if they don't stop soon. The only thing really keeping them safe is the US, and Israel has burned a lot of political capital here. Their leaders are awful, power-hungry shits, but they're not stupid. If they don't try to rebuild some of that capital, there's every chance that Israel loses its lifeline.
What comes years after things die down, I don't know. Gazan sentiment towards Israel was already overwhelmingly negative before this, but the IDF has never done anything on this scale before. I don't think Israel can allow Gaza any type of self-governance for decades after this. This is beyond even post-WW2 Japan levels of destruction, and unlike Japan every nation around them is still on their side.
15Modern day trail of tears... except the killing is easier.
6Ya know, it sucks that you’re right.

It's easy. Hamas can be destroyed and the surviving 99% of Gaza can move on with their lives.
-30Oh fuck off

Israel committting an Oct7 every single week.
Israel kills more children than Oct 7 every single day.

-10Be 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).
13Turns out, you're the actual jackass.
436 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.
3That sounded insane but possibly true, so I did some math. Seems you didn't do the math, biased jackass!
QED:
8 months, 8 days war, yeah?
~1200 died Oct 7.
8 mo 8 days = ~240+8 days, averaging a month at 30 days
1,200 x 240+8 = 297,600
I'm bad at math, but you're claiming Israel has killed ~300,000 people in Gaza.
Edit: I am bad at math

That is a giant number. Wow.
20Wait until you find out the actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.
The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.
39This. Not talking about starvation and disease, which are the most common causes of death during conflicts like this (especially in this case where Gazans are subjected to inhumane conditions), is simply doing a favor to the genociders.

Side note:
Do a little investigative reading regarding Israel and their part in the killing of Armenian Christians. Chit is wild.
20A little investigative reading?
They are openly allied to Azerbaijan, supply it with most advanced weapons, and Israel's puppet organizations like the ADL have historically went out of their way in Armenian Genocide denial.
When the argument that recognizing any other genocide insults the Holocaust victims soured completely, they started working by diverting and diluting attention from that subject.
Israel is consistently allied with genocidal and totalitarian powers (not states, rather factions and ideas), because their "business model" as a state is one of selling indulgence papers. Criminals get their reputation whitewashed by supporting Israel, and are interested in supporting Israel even without any direct payback, because it's like a lightning rod for anything else.
One doesn't have to investigate it, they are not hiding it.

I'm sure this time, unlike the prior times in the last 5000 years, slaughter will bring lasting peace
/S
19Well, at some point, it will work, when there's no one left on both sides to start again.

but they saved three people!

1Any estimate of how many of those were Hamas?
0Thank god for religion
00 kids tho?
-7Hundreds per week

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"?
-10Hamas 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?
18Where 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)?
-24
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.
9Because the suffering of the Palestinians is the currency that powers Hamas.
2Yup. 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.

Hamas is in the right to make sorties and take hostages when besieged. Because it all happens in the framework of a siege by Israel.
So in any case morally and legally all of this death is on Israel.
Practically I'm not sure they have the option to surrender. If it's subjectively beneficial for the state of Israel to wipe out Gaza, and they have plenty of agents in Hamas as it is well known, perhaps they just play both parties. With such a power imbalance it's not a conspiracy theory.
And if it's a ceasefire, then after it Israel can continue killing as they want, and Hamas won't have any hostages anymore, which may or may not be a limiting factor for Israel (killing their own hostages would be bad internally, though not too bad).
-9Hamas 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.
