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.

    The native Americans would beg to differ about how the United States treated the people who were here before them.

        Shitty treatment? They were genocided and those that survived were pushed into little strips of leftover land. Hundreds of millions of colonists are happily living on the stolen land with plenty of excuses not to leave.

            C’mon, in the middle of all this shit, it was a small moment of humour.

            I for one will take any and all little silver lining I can get in the middle of this shit, even if its just a momentary small laugh.

          What part of I’m aware are you confused about. Moreover you’re arguing but you clearly don’t have a point, please get to it.

            Well you seem to be claiming the the analogy of the US retaliating in a no holds barred style against a Mexican attack should not be made, because the US hasn’t acted as bad to warrant such an attack. But that is of course beside the point itself as the above poster stated.

            The US has done a lot worse than Israel. They annihilated more than 95% of the natives ffs. 5 million people.

            Would there be much support if people of Native American ancestry attacked a music festival and killed 500?

              They are different situations, I’m not saying you can’t compare them but to do so it’s fairly pointless and irrelevant. I can compare a housecat and then planet Mercury but what honestly is the point?

              Arguable to say worse just more and over a longer time since worse is a matter of opinion.

              We don’t have to guess, we just need to see how the feds cleared Alcatraz during a peaceful occupation of land that was still native by treaty.
