At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.

The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.

“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

    I have no shame here, Israel got attacked and has a right to retaliate. It does not need to be proportional.

    When you want to stop violence, usually the best way to do so is your own overwhelming violence. See WW2.

      So if Lebanon had the capacity to destroy Tel Aviv and kill thousands of Israelis they’d have your full support?

        Lebanon was part of the group of countries that attacked Israel the day after the British protectorate ended because they weren’t happy with the UN agreed upon boundaries.

        So no they don’t have my support, they are part of what started this shit for the last 75 years.

      It absolutely does need to be proportional. The entire world agreed on this because of abuses in world war 2. Because we didn’t want to see anymore Dresdens or Tokyos.
