A more precise picture of Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel has emerged from social security data, confirming the unprecedented scale of the violence but also challenging some initial testimonies.
The final death toll from the attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139.
So? Does it matter if it was 1400, 1300 or 1139? It’s mass murder anyway, and Hamas are still bastards for killing them. And Netanyahu is still a bastard for using it as a free pass on bombing Gaza. These numbers don’t change anything at all.
Can one imagine a rave party with a thousand+ of people, and then imagine them all dead? Or a european-like district with housing, schools, shops for 13k people - you can see them on Google Maps, they were pretty sweet in spite of israeli politics - all leveled down to the ground. It’s a rave party not unlike one happening near you, this neighborhood is not unlike yours. These people may not speak english, yet they share basic things with you, like, they could’ve liked the same songs, the same movies like you do, some of them could’ve even been trekkies. And now they are lost. They won’t have a child, they won’t share a funny story over drinks with friends, they won’t build that birdhouse their elderly parents asked for. They are dead, non-existent, and all work put into making them proper adults is lost. And whatever it’s a thousand, or a thousand of thosands, it’s too much to ignore. Every person shot or slayed there is too much to ignore. There should be a ceasefire agreement first, it needs to stop.
I know right, imagine if it had been over 15,000 innocent people that had had their homes destroyed and their family and friends killed over something they had nothing to do with.
Also while atrocities were committed on October 7th, AFAIK there was no mass murder. And if you’re wondering how so many people died then, there’s an unknown but significant number of IDF-inflicted casualties in those 1139.
Yes but I’m saying that didn’t happen to my knowledge. From what we know so far about the attack, the IDF response was far from careful not to harm civilians, and in some cases chose to actively kill hostages to get the Hamas soldiers who captured them.
Israel so far hasn’t done anything close to releasing the number of people who died to IDF fire, or just in the crossfire between Hamas and the IDF, and until they do that they have no grounds to claim Hamas committed mass murder.
Go fuck yourself with a fork if 1139, or even 500 isn’t a mass murder in your dictionary, I don’t feel like I want to talk to you. You don’t help palestinians by downplaying what hamas bastards did to jews while enjoying golf courses in Quatar.
Fuck yourself first asshole they used this excuse to declare a genocide and it comes out Israeli leadership fucking funded Hamas and allowed this shit to happen.
Hamas sucks but everything they did has Israeli hands helping and now Israeli hands are committing genocide.
Yes i absolutely will excuse Hamas. They’re a rabid angry abused dog taunted and then their owner secretly unlocked the fence and cried “what a bad dog look what it did to me!”
Israel is the start and end of this Hamas is a pawn. Fuck off idiot.
You are honest about that. I’d give you that. It feels refreshing to find an opponent who stays by their ideals. Thinking you are terminally wrong, I respect you still being there.
I literally responded to that in the very next sentence. Until the IDF counts the people their own fire killed, and the ones who died in the crossfire, both of which exist in significant numbers, we have no evidence Hamas did anything close to mass murder. Also that 1139 is counting the 373 security force people, which are legitimate military targets.
The crossfire, reckless (sometimes deliberate when they were taken hostage) IDF fire and Hamas war crimes. These three categories all contain significant numbers of people, so until we know who killed how many and where there are no grounds to claim Hamas committed mass murder.

Did that happen?

I’m not sure what’s the definition of mass murder but advancing in a city/place and start killing indiscriminately sounds a lot like it.

~ 1/3 military kills is definitely not “indiscriminately killing”. These numbers change everything.
It’s not a mass murder anymore. Oct7 was a justified targeted retaliation.
Justified retaliation, and an operation meant to get concessions out of Israel for Gazans. That’s why they took the hostages.

How fuckin stupid are you?
You’d go to excuse Hamas, won’t you?
Get. Lost. Already.
Yes i absolutely will excuse Hamas. They’re a rabid angry abused dog taunted and then their owner secretly unlocked the fence and cried “what a bad dog look what it did to me!”

Excuse Hamas for what?
Launching an attack on a white supremacist settler-colonialist state that has been waging war on Palestinians since 1949?
I think it is you that needs to get lost.

So ~800 civilians dead still, right?
You… just ignored everything I said except the numbers right?
No?
You mean these 800-something people died in a cross-fire? I feel like I don’t uderstand you.
The crossfire, reckless (sometimes deliberate when they were taken hostage) IDF fire and Hamas war crimes. These three categories all contain significant numbers of people, so until we know who killed how many and where there are no grounds to claim Hamas committed mass murder.
