An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave’s government media office.
More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.
Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.
The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.
Israeli murder of civlians is so normalized that its hardly even making the news anymore.
It’s hard for me to even track when it’s an article with more details about a previous massacre versus a report of a new massacre. Israel attacks civilians with such frequency that there’s a new slaughter even as the previous one is just being fully reported.
Part of the problem is that the images suck. Honestly. Here we see a bunch of body bags, we know literally nothing about who’s in them. But on Oct. 7 there were lots of images and video of what happened, with people’s faces visible.
The most effective thing that could be done to support Palestinians, infinitely more effective than spray painting neighborhoods and camping in public spaces, would be to give them cameras and a means of releasing video. As long as it’s just numbers, no one will care.
The thing is. There’s been loads of first hand evidence about the victims. You know the person who got burned in the hospital with IVs still attached to his hand? His name is Shaban al-Dalou. He’s a 19 year old aspiring software engineer who never got to finish his studies and work as an engineer because he was murdered.
There’s a lot of stories like this, if you just want to look. The western media fucking surpresses this stories because they don’t want us to humanize the Palestinians.

spoken out of ignorance, they’re broadcasting and Israel is killing the ones that are.

Because showing 73 military soldiers dead isn’t going to inspire sympathy from idiots in the west and get Hamas propaganda pieces written.
Where is Netanyahu’s arrest warrant for fucks sake?
Next to the peace deal and the stop order for arms shipments.
take heart, Biden says he is very concerned. Harris too. Any day now he’s going to stop the shipments and start poking netenyahu forcefully in the chest, screaming in his face, making threats.
/s. I’m just messing with you.
Doesn’t he literally have one from the ICC? And the US Govt sanctioned the ICC over it rather than help enforce it?
They opened the process up for “comments and objections”. Israels allies like Germany flooded the court with “comments and objections” that have to be worked through, before deciding on the warrant.
I don’t think Germans should be able to play the “hey listen to us we’re genocide experts” card at the UN.
Its super antisemitic of them to shout over the voices of Jews crying “never again” as they witness the genocide in Palestine unfold.
At the ICC it is not about genocide though. It is about specific war crimes. The “objection” by Germany was also not about qualifying what happened, but something procedural along the lines of saying there shouldn’t be a prosecution while there still is war. Which of course is equally absurd.
Does he? I think they’re still doing procedures or some shit.
Holy crap, you’re right
However the request for the warrants must yet be approved by ICC judges.
They really need to speed things up…
Plus that means the US sanctioned the ICC for just requesting an arrest warrant

Exactly. To be precise they sanctioned the prosecutor who requested the warrant IIRC.
‘Horrifying massacre’: Iranian attack on Jerusalem kills at least 73 Israelis
… funny how this headline draws more attention than the real one
Were they civilians?
They want to see if they can accidentally kill some Hamas leaders like last time
Israel should be abandoned by the U.S. entirely at this point. There is no reason to continue any type of relationship with these genocidal shitbags.
When capitalists develop the Gaza strip their sacrifice shall not be forgotten, just like in the US and Native Americans.
