At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.
Videos obtained by Middle East Eye showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.
Gaza’s civil defence agency described the attack as a “horrific massacre,” and said three Israeli rockets hit the Tabin school, located in Gaza City’s al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.
jFC. There is no end to this horror perpetrated by Zionists
This is textbook method of making terrorists.
This IS terrorism
Freedom fighters*
They are following the textbook
They wrote it
This is the result of zionism.
Would you look at that, Israel said that Hammas was using it as a base of operations.

[s] It’s almost like Israel has labeled every Palestinian living in Gaza whose over five years old as a member of Hammas. Hammas must be doing something right to recruit all of them at such a young age. [/s]
over five years old
You’re being too generous to Israel. They’re quite happy killing babies on the grounds that they will otherwise grow up into Palestinian adults.
I used to think the IDF was lying but I realize now that they classify every Palestinian as Hamas.
Hammas must have like 1000 bases of operation all in schools, mosques, and hospitals.
A base of operation must be one guy talking with a civilian.

I do not think this photo is necessary to be viewed. We know what the aftermath of these attacks look like. The victims and their families deserve peace, not to be made a spectacle.
people have been desentizied reading numbers. let them see it to remind them how these “numbers” are kids and women who have become cut up bodies and amputees
That’s a fair and valid criticism of the way western media is censoring the ongoing genocide. I do think there is some merit in reminding people of the brutality that is being enacted on men women and children. I don’t agree that showcasing these kinds of images in this way is the way to go about it. Images of graphic violence can be exploitative, they can be voyeuristic and serve actually to dehumanize victims rather than humanize them. I think photos of survivors with wounds, people being taken to hospital, and the ruins of the area left behind are important and should be spread far and wide.
I do not think that photos of mangled bodies are worthwhile though. I do not feel that images of horrifically torn apart and disfigured remains serve any function beyond satiating a curiosity some have. I feel the same way about photos and videos taken after mass shootings or other large-scale acts of horrific violence. It’s important that people understand what took place, but it doesn’t have to be conveyed in this manner.
Maybe I’m being pointlessly moralistic about this, and should feel that so long as it brings attention to what is happening that it is a good thing that I should support. But I don’t agree with that at all. I do think it’s relevant how we spread information about ongoing genocides and their victims.

It needs to be on the news
It’s not on the news. Total silence in Western media.
Surprisingly most people don’t know what these aftermaths looks like. For Palestinians the news shows bodies wrapped in cloth which makes the situation seem far less brutal than it is.
I think people like you specifically should look at the image
I’ve watched videos of it in the past that were posted online. I just disagree that showcasing horrific gore and violence in this manner is necessary. It is necessary for people to understand what’s happening, if they don’t. But in the aftermath of mass shootings and other forms of large scale graphic violence I don’t think it’s necessary to showcase images of dead and mangled bodies. It’s a kind of voyeurism I personally find distasteful and disrespectful to those that died. Pictures of survivors with wounds, hospitals full of patients. Rubble and ruins. Those things are worthwhile in my mind. But not mangled corpses.
There are a lot of people who don’t understand what is happening.
Though, to be fair to you, they probably aren’t on Lemmy. This seems to be an entirely anti-Zionist federation.
A big reason many people still vote Democrat with a “clean conscience” is because they never see the images of the terror and what the word Genocide really entails.
Very few people would still say “yeah but Trump would do more Genocide” after confronted with this kind of image.
Idk what makes you believe that. These images are and have always been available online. Similar albeit less graphic images appear frequently on news sites all around the world. People don’t support genocide because they aren’t aware of how brutal it is, they support it because they do not view the victims of genocide as human.
Why are they being so horrible to other human beings?
The colonial situation dehumanizes both the colonized and the colonizer. The colonized regain their humanity through resistance; the colonizer can only regain humanity by losing.
Violence is required for the maintenance of an occupation and apartheid, otherwise the people they subjugate would have power.
At least Israeli developers will have more land to develop
The death of thousands and the destruction of an entire generation is a reasonable price to pay
