    “Hospital patients burned alive” is becoming Israel’s whole brand identity.

        I just read about it and it is bad enough. I’ll paste this quote from someone who was there:

        “I swear to God I saw people burning in front of me. By god, no one could do anything. The man, the woman and the little girl burning in front of me, I swear to God. In front of me they burned, in front of me. Their souls left in front of me, in front of us, in front of all our eyes,” said Saleh Al-Jafarawi, an independent Palestinian journalist who filmed the massacre. “No one was able to do anything, no one was able to advance and get them. We tried, but we couldn’t, the fire was so strong that no one was able to advance and pull them out of the fire. They were burned alive. Their bodies were charred. This is a crime that we have never seen and no one has seen like it,” he added in a video posted on his Instagram account. “I swear to God the scenes that will remain in our memories, will remain in our hearts forever. We will never forget the scene that I witnessed today: The scene of the child and he is burning in the heart of the fire and no one was able to help him.”

        Be warned that there’s a very disturbing photograph in the source page.

    holocaust /hŏl′ə-kôst″, hō′lə-/
    noun

    • A great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire.

    The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God.

      I’m Greek and I always thought it’s derived from the words olo (whole, entire) and kafsi (to burn) so as to mean something that burns completely. A quick Google search seems to confirm this but I’m admittedly not an expert on the matter

    I legit woke up at night remembering this video that I saw yesterday. The boy was 20 and involuntarily I saw the last moments of his life, him stretching his arm trying to reach for help. I hope you’re in a better place now Shaban, this world wasn’t good enough for you.

      May every Zionist monster meet the same fate that they have inflicted upon the innocents of Palestine. 🙏🏻

      What would be an unbiased headline to report that the regime that promised to cut all food and water to northern Gaza with the express intent to kill all who remain there, firebombed a hospital, agonizingly killing the civilians and patients in there?

      Imagine having your brain this heavily poisoned with propaganda that a simple truthful headline triggers you this hard.

        I got genuinely curious, and so I asked ChatGPT to write a less biased headline. I got this: “Israeli airstrikes target Hamas militants hiding in civilian areas, leading to tragic collateral damage at a hospital in northern Gaza.”

    The more I think about it the more this was planned out by all 3 sides US, hamas and Israel. Waited for election time to start a war with the middle east with a president that supports the cause and is too old to be here another 4 years. I even think hamas was in on it with its attack which started the ball rolling, its like all the pieces fall together. The only ones who suffer are the innocent civilians just looking for peace. It’s a fucked up world we live in! The only winners here are arms manufacturers on both sides.
