The bodies of 109 Palestinians including 23 children and 11 women were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and spokesperson Khalil Degran told the Associated Press that more than 100 wounded also arrived to the hospital. In addition, he said the rest of the 210 Palestinians killed were taken to Al-Awda Hospital after the spokesman said he spoke to the director there. But the numbers at that hospital could not be confirmed by the AP.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the war until all hostages are freed, but Bassem Naim, a senior Hamas official now based in Lebanon, struck a drastically different tone.

“The horrific massacre committed today by Netanyahu and his fascist government against the Palestinian people in Gaza, which led to slaughter of 210 and more than 400 wounded so far — under the pretext of liberating those detained by the resistance — confirms what the resistance has said repeatedly: that Netanyahu doesn’t plan to reach an agreement to stop the war and free the captured Israelis peacefully,” Naim said, according to the Associated Press.

    So next time there is a school shooting in america, and the shooter is hiding in the school, we can just bomb the school? I mean, the shooter could have just let the kids go or stop hiding among them. But no…

      That is an excellent analogy to illustrate why this isn’t a black-and-white situation. Well done, have an upvote!

      You’re better than that. The two have nothing to do with each other.

      • I’m going to ignore the incredibly horrifying insinuation that all Palestinians are Hamas-terrorists, and fix your analogy: what if the school shooters were a group of parents, whose children (who didn’t do anything wrong) are also in the same school. There’s also a couple teachers who can’t do anything against the school shooters out of fear of being fired.

        How many innocent teachers and children have to be in the school before bombing the school becomes morally wrong?
