At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.

The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.

“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

    The hostages are mere pawns leveraged by both military organizations and specifically by the IDF to justify the ongoing genocide. The IDF was killing their own citizens on October 7th alongside Hamas, and the Israeli government themselves issued that report. Israeli blockading of food supplies starves the Israeli hostages alongside the Palestinian civilians.

    Why would Hamas ever give up hostages if this is how Israel acts towards their own captured citizens now?

      “Ongoing genocide” The moment hammas is de weaponized and hostages are back all this would stop.

      “Blockading food” The state of Israel just presented today to the supreme court that 6000 truck per months entered gaza since hmammas started this shit. Thats not blockade.

      If Israel wanted to genocide gazans it could use much more efficient methods for this.

      To add to that that BY HAMMAS numbers they had 19000 of their own killed by now. That’s about 1:1 (taking hammas claims for 35000 people killed so far) ratio to civilians so far. Pretty damn good for any military world wide. This is not how genocide lools Like.

        Investigating myself and presenting evidence to me that I have done nothing wrong, then acquitting myself of all charges. Then passing a law that says anyone who questions my ruling is a member of Hamas.

        BY HAMMAS numbers they had 19000 of their own killed by now

        I’m excited to see your citation on this.
