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."
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Or 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»".
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.
I don’t know if I’d even blame the kidnappers for those deaths.
What the fuck?
For the 200 deaths today
Repressed brown people can do no wrong.
Feel 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?
Going to a rave on stolen Palestinian land*
So to you all Israeli Jews, Druze and Bedouin can be kidnapped and killed for being born on "stolen Palestinian land"?
You’re twisting my words. It’s not that they were born on stolen land it’s that they were actively partying on stolen land mere miles from an ethnic cleansing
Ah yes, so every american shouldn't ever feel any joy because they were born on stolen land.
Get out of here. Any person saying they want the 48 borders are a lunatic living in la-la land. You only enforce the Israeli twisted view of "there could never be peace with them" by actually showing that you want the genocide of all Israelis, instead of realistic borders of a palestinian state. Fuck you.
I’m not advocating for the 48 border. I’m advocating for the dissolution of Israel, it is an illegitimate state
And that kids, is why peace just isn't thing in the middle east. When you think of the other side as something meant to just be destroyed, don't be surprised when peace doesn't last and ceasefires break.
It'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.
