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.
Thank god for religion
Any estimate of how many of those were Hamas?
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!
It’s easy. Hamas can be destroyed and the surviving 99% of Gaza can move on with their lives.
The 35,000 Gazans killed already comprise 1.6% of the population. The 85,000 injured comprises another 4% of the population. Thousands of children have already experienced severe malnutrition that will lead to stunting and lifelong effects. So no, 99% of Gaza will not be able to “move on.”
Hamas expert or Hamas synoathizer? Ridiculous take. It’s a criminal organization and can and will be eliminated. Israel is going to do it or it’s going to continue to blockade and force Gaza to do it itself. Surely the people living there are getting tired of how it’s going under Hamas’s leadership.
Yes, ridiculous,
Hamas is an ideology. It’s a movement that’s committed to the liberation of Palestine. That ideology within Hamas is cloaked in an Islamist garb, but that ideology is not limited to Hamas. So even if Hamas militarily is severely hit by Israeli actions now, that ideology will reemerge because that’s grounded in the political principles of the Palestinian struggle. So this military approach is really just a way to avoid dealing with the root cause of the problem.
Lemmy.world detected, opinion rejected
The 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.
I’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.
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.
And this is from march!!!
Since November we’ve been hearing every day how “famine is imminent.”
Still haven’t seen it.
Maybe that’s because people more concerned than yourself have been risking their lives and going to great effort to inject aid to keep it away for one more day, one more day.
Nah it’s because Israel has been letting the aid in through their border and steadily ramping up capacity.
In your imagined scenario, why does Israel let any food in at all?
They’ve already bombed the vast majority of Gaza and resettled people, and the next step is almost certainly another expansion of the settler state of Israel.
Most of the millions of people that live in Gaza have been resettled into a very small area. Whether Israel decides to nuke them or force them into neighboring countries as refugees is irrelevant to their end goal of settling the territory. The Palestinians are just “rats” that need to be removed.
I’m sure they’d prefer to nuke them and just get rid of their problem once and for all; a final solution of sorts. However they do have limited political capital in this conflict, and nuking the remaining civilians does have the potential to negative impact U.S-Isrsel relations. So there’s a real chance they opt for just pushing the “human animals” out of the territories.
I’m sure this time, unlike the prior times in the last 5000 years, slaughter will bring lasting peace

Well, at some point, it will work, when there’s no one left on both sides to start again.
Israel committting an Oct7 every single week.
Israel kills more children than Oct 7 every single day.
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 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)?
It’s obvious for anyone paying attention to the news. If you check the Ceasefire History, you see it every week.

A lot of Hamas viewing a ceasefire deal “postively” but not actually agreeing to anything realistic.
Right now Israel has agreed to the US proposed ceasefire deal. Hamas once again are saying they are looking at it “positively” without agreeing to it. The UN Security Council has a binding resolution which Hamas is ignoring now.
Ever consider that the people that brutally murdered over a thousand people in a day might be capable of lying? They talk a lot about wanting a ceasefire but it’s all just talk. There’s a ceasefire agreement in front of them right now… and there’s just more talk from them.
Damn he did all that work to help you… I have a friend just like you. They send me videos of these clowns on YouTube that tie the most random events together to come to the most insane conclusions. Like trivial to disprove stuff. And they turn their channels into little echo chambers by pruning everything out of the comments that isn’t “Thanks for speaking the truth!”
Whoever your YouTuber is, they are lying to you.
I keep up on the news. I’ve read most of those things before… when they happened.
You may feel like if you can show people the information you’re getting from a youtuber or tiktoker will convince someone. But you didn’t consider that someone that doesn’t get their news from youtube and tiktok may have seen these things already along with some other information that your favourite youtube/tiktok personality didn’t tell you about.
Social media just isn’t a good news source. You’re getting a filtered version of events. Read the newspaper every day, you’ll be informed about things beyond a narrative from someone trying to appease an algorithm.
Cunts
I wonder who downvoted you. Must either not be an Aussie, or a zionist cunt.
