The death toll means around ten percent of the kibbutz’s population was wiped out
The bodies of more than 100 people were discovered by volunteers in a single, small Israeli village Monday — including those of children — believed to have been killed by Hamas militants caught on camera.
The remains were discovered in Be’eri, or Bari, a kibbutz in southern Israel close to Gaza. It’s one of the villages Hamas militants invaded on Saturday as they began their attack on the country.
“Today the volunteers entered Kibbutz Bari and it is impossible to explain in words the terrible sights - some were adults, some were children. These are horrors that cannot be grasped in the mind or soul,” a spokesperson for Zaka search and rescue told IDF radio.
Hamas thought this operation would change everything.
They were right, but not in the way they expected. All they’ve done is turn soft sympathisers like myself away from their cause. They deserve everything they get and it’s not going to be pretty. The Palestinian who will be killed during crossfire are on Hamas hands this time and the rest of the world will see it that way. absolute own goal, so they could… massacre a bunch of civilians. Hamas showing military genius of the likes of Russia
No, the Gaza residents don’t deserve collective punishment, and that is what Hamas wants. They want Israel to overreact and clamp down. They want videos of their dead children and women across all media. This is part of the tried and true strategy of big guy vs little guy conflicts, and guess what it NEVER WORKS… for the big guy.
How did 9/11 work out for Osama Bin Laden? Better then he could have ever even dreamed of.
You can’t kill your way out of this kind of conflict. The only ways out are A) complete genocide or B) political resolutions and bringing them to the table.
Neither Bibi, nor Hamas, want option B, and they’re both hoping that eventually option A will work out in their favor.
You just contradict yourself. You can’t kill your way out of this kind of conflict. Then you say you can complete genocide. So you can kill your way out of this.
That is likely what they are going to do. Starve out and destroy Gaza so everyone leaves. Then enter it and take it over and build another wall woth even more guns and keep pushing new walls further back to make the balstics Hamas use less effective.
This conflict is Israel vs Hamas, at least on paper. So even if Israel ramps up strikes without care of civilian death, that is still different then an actual intentional and systemic genocide.
So no, Israel cannot kill it’s way out of this current conflict.
Of course they can and they are doing it. They are going to destroy Gaza block by block until everyone has fled or is killed and there is nothing but rubble to go back too. Then Isreal will just take over the land and move in.
I understand that is ultimate dream of Bibi, Ben-Gvir, and a disturbingly large number of genocidal zealots that support them, but no, that is not going to be what happens with this specific conflict at this time.
Eventually, they will withdraw from Gaza and leave the millions of Palestinians left to starve and suffer in the rubble.
Let’s say, hypothetically, that Hamas was actually somehow destroyed, every leader killed, and 200k fighters dead. What kind of organization do you think would rise up to replace it?
Looks like they are doing a pretty good job if leveling Gaza right now and don’t appear to be stopping anytime soon
Option A won’t work out for them if they and their buddies cease existing and the strip is radioactive glass. Same with their buddies Hezbollah. And Israel, regardless of strategic ambiguity, almost certainly has the capability to pull it off.
Lol. Pretending like nuking them is an option is the most sadistic and stupid thing I’ve seen. They’d be nuking themselves. Radiation doesn’t stay in place, and also presumably they want to control that area too. These takes make everyone a little dumber.
Nah bro. I’m pretty sure radioactive fallout respects territorial integrity and has a strict lines on maps approach to how it gets distributed post detonation.
So as long as Israel gives its nukes clear orders not to float over and contaminate Israeli territory, they should be good.
Yep, just a stern talking to and those nukes will take care of the rest.
Oh, and he’s not pretending to not understand, he really doesn’t because he’s really, really, and I mean seriously, stupid.
Setting aside your own genocidal fantasies, which are beyond fucked up, I think you should pick up a map of the region and look at it. Like really look at it.
And if, within 10 secs, you don’t understand just how incredibly dumb your idea is, I think you should immediately get a vasectomy, because that would mean you’re way way way too stupid to ever be allowed to reproduce.
Please, for the sake of the world, snip snip.
I am a member of the United States Navy SSBN force, trained to set condition 1SQ for Strategic Launch of thermonuclear warheads if and when called upon to do so without hesitation. Each missile is capable of carrying in excess of ten multiple independent reentry vehicles, and each warhead is capable of at least ten times the power of Hiroshima.
What do you do for a living?
Wow. You probably shouldn’t hold that position if you actually do. Do you know what a nuke is? Do you know what happens to radioactive material after the explosion?
when called upon to do so without hesitation.
We have a few great heroes in our history who saved the world by hesitating when that call was made. If you think you shouldn’t hesitate, you’re bad for the position. You might be told that’s what you’re supposed to do, but it isn’t. You need to ensure the call is legitimate for legitimate reasons before you doom humanity.
People like you worry me. You’re so confident in some bullshit that you think it means anything at all. You clearly have no idea of the repercussions of a single nuclear attack is, let alone what happens if there’s a response.
I know the yield of a Trident II D5 missile’s REVs, yes. I know the entire sequence from receipt of an EAM to reentry and detonation. I’ve read the CJCS instructions and all other governing documentation.
It is not my job or that of any sailor or officer on an SSBN to determine the legitimacy of the reason, only that the EAM is in fact valid and authentic in accordance with procedure and governing documentation. To think otherwise is naive, and got at least one officer kicked off the ship.
My job is simple. When I’m told to man battle stations missile for Strategic Launch, I man battle stations missile for Strategic Launch. When I am ordered to set condition 1SQ by the CO and XO, I set condition 1SQ in accordance with procedure and governing documentation as quickly as possible while remaining within procedural guidance.
I know the yield of a Trident II D5 missile’s REVs, yes. I know the entire sequence from receipt of an EAM to reentry and detonation. I’ve read the CJCS instructions and all other governing documentation.
Then you’re aware of what would happen upon detonation in Gaza. You shouldn’t be dumb enough to wish to use it on them. You really shouldn’t be dumb enough to wish to use it ever, but I know your type.
These are two of the world’s greatest heroes. We’re all here today likely because they disobeyed orders.

I know you’re supposed to obey any lawful order, but a few have not and saved many for it. There will almost certainly be consequences for it, but any good person would still at least consider the risk to self to save many.
It is not my job or that of any sailor or officer on an SSBN to determine the legitimacy of the reason, only that the EAM is in fact valid and authentic in accordance with procedure and governing documentation. To think otherwise is naive, and got at least one officer kicked off the ship.
The end of this I agree with. You will be kicked off the ship. However, it is your duty to consider if an order is lawful. If you’re asked to kill unarmed civilians, for example, then that’s an unlawful order and can be disobeyed. However, it seems you aren’t in a direct line for the call being made to the launch, so it doesn’t really matter.
Yep, you definitely should snip snip. Please, for the sake of world’s gene pool.
Nah, my shipmates already have dozens of children, all slated to enlist or commission in the most powerful nuclear navy in the world when they are eligible. You should’ve seen Family Day on the pier. Our next generation of recruits are already on their way and lining up, our next strategic weapons platforms are already being built and slated for DASO in the next few years. Just earlier this year, we surfaced SSBNs in both Faslane, Scotland and Busan, South Korea, and an SSGN in Perth, Australia. Our SSNs are everywhere lurking beneath the waves, and our Seawolves are listening and stalking wherever they’re needed.
So stand down, civilian. There’s no stopping this war machine.
Holy shit. You’re easily one of the dumbest and most delusional people I’ve ever come across on Lemmy, or even Reddit.
Or, you’re a very committed and very bored troll.
Either way, there’s definitely something special about you. So… congrats?
I come from a military family. You thinking serving makes you better than a civilian is the biggest issue with many who serve. However, most who serve don’t believe this. I live in a very heavy USN area and most don’t think serving makes them smarter or better. Most do it because they like the civilians, not because they hate them. Many also do it for the benefits. If you’re serving to make up for your lack of manhood, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
The military answers to the civilians, not the other way around.
Shut up boot, you are either new to the fleet or everyone else in your shop hates you. It’s probably both.
Palestinians using violent means might think they’re succeeding because they are actually getting landback for the first time in decades, but they fail to consider how bad it looks to me, a guy on the internet who thinks it would be better for their PR if they kept dying instead.
A) they didnt get land back, they are likely to lose more
B) throw rocks at tanks, dont be surprised when you get glassed
A) they didnt get land back, they are likely to lose more
False, they did. And they only lose more if Israel continues its genocide, which you’re prob gonna advocate.
B) throw rocks at tanks, dont be surprised when you get glassed
Like I said. Grotesque, as usual 🤣
False, they did
what, a bloodsoaked festival ground? for long?

It’s a Tankie - what do you expect?
No, the Palestinians who are killed are on the hands of Israel, who killed them. The “they did it first” argument didn’t work with your mom when you and your siblings were fighting as kids, what the fuck kind of mental gymnastics makes you think it works when we’re talking about genocide of an entire people? You’re out of your damn mind.
And don’t get gleeful watching Palestinians die, because Israel is about to invade Gaza. That’s house-to-house and room-to-room fighting. Ask the Russians how that went in WW2, or the Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Israelis haven’t done all their dying, they’re just signing up for the slaughter now.
The “they did it first” argument didn’t work with your mom when you and your siblings were fighting as kids
yet that is all you whiny terrorist supporters have been removed and crying about since the attack (its ok to attack israel cause TheY dId It FiRSt
It was always unclear who was worse because it as always a tit for tat that has been going on for so long. It is such a complex issue.
What is not complex is this terror attack was totally one-sided and came at a time when tensions had been dropping and things seemingly improving. It is clear Hamas has gone too far, and it was just brutal to witness.
Isreal government leadership needs to change, and Hamas needs to be eliminated. Netanyahu has been in power for far too long and its dangerous, and unlikely to resolve and issues they have.
Once he is gone and Hamas is gone, they can perhaps come back to the bargaining table.
Tensions were rising not dropping.
Have you seen the air raids in the Gaza strip? They fucked up big time. They’re getting carpet bombed, I can’t believe they didn’t see this coming
They did I’m sure. This will turn more people against Israel. Israel has all the power, and they continuously kill civilians, sometimes because Hamas is using them but often for no reason. As bad as it is, this is how you fight when you don’t have equal power. You cause an overreaction and capitalize on it. It also shows that Bibi isn’t actually “Mr. Security” like he says.
Hamas has always supported genocide against Jewish Israelis, they have always been extreme. You had sympathy for that? WTF bro!?
sympathy for the plight of the poor bastards being used as pawns by their genocidal terrorist leaders? yeah of course I do. Why would I be in favour of wiping the people out?
You shouldn’t, but you phrased in a way that made it sound like the Palestinian masses are responsible for Hamas.
The masses aren’t interested in instigating war or conflict. Muslims and Jews both could live in peace like they did before the West took over, but that would disrupt the western hegemony. I think people should blame leaders, including leaders outside the Middle East when we are looking for reasons for this never ending and bloody conflict.
Hamas could probably extrapolate what came next, it’s not exactly new ground. As for your sympathy, it didnt change a damn thing for them in the first place what did they lose?
At the next Hamas leadership meeting
“Guys our attacks are causing us to lose the support of Internet neckbeards that kind of sort of support us but never did anything at all to show that support”
“Oh no, they’re our most crucial supporters”
“I told you we should have just kept letting the IDF commit war crimes on us with impunity”

Very sad to see for the village.
Scoreboard
The Palestinians will pay for their crimes this times. The gates of hell will open above them, and the fire will rain down on them. They still won’t regret what they did because they are so full of hate and they lack the cognitive ability for it.
You’re talking like the terrorists you indite.
The path to total victory will be a pyrrhic one, regardless of if you’re Palestinian or Israeli.
PalestiniansHamasNo he’s right in that regard unfortunately, the Palestinians will now suffer and the whole world will watch. Israel doesn’t view Palestinians as people, they will gladly murder dozens of civilians just to get at one hamas loser.
100%, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
Turn down your hate a notch - as others have already said: it is not „the Palestinians“ - it is Hamas
I’m pretty sure Jesus frowns upon delighting in the en masse deaths of a people. I believe that’s the story of thing that opens the gates of hell for you personally.
