In the video you can see him engulfed in flames. How are ordinary civilians who don't have the equipment or fire fighting resources supposed to save him and the others? You can hear lots of panic and terrified screaming including those of children. People should be asking how the IDF can be so depraved!

Yes, this is important, but was anyone helping him?

I'm not sure that videos like this should be shared with the world. It's quite undignified, don't you think? Or perhaps people think that in these cases the public interest overrides the right to privacy?

How was anyone supposed to help him? You think all the emergency services are functioning like normal? Do you think all those desperate homeless, displaced people have fire fighting equipment?

And actually I think he probably would want his horrific death to be shown to the world, so that we can all bear witness to the cruelty and horror being inflicted.

Ordinarily, yes filming a dead body etc is undignified and should be respected but in this situation, we need it to be recorded, people need to bear witness to the atrocities committed by Israel. The Israeli government have killed off so many journalists and not allowed any to document what's been happening so mobile phone footage shared by civilians is all we have left to document what's going on. Otherwise the world would be blind to it. This story is already making the news and without the footage we have seen, no one would have been none the wiser to it. Someone said this is just one case but there are many many more like this happening that we are not privy to due to the lack of journalism in Gaza.

The sooner Hamas release the hostages, surrender their leaders, and admit the right of Israel to exist, the sooner this awful bloodshed can stop. How many dead civilians is enough for Hamas?

And what concessions will Israel make?

@Zebrashavestripes here's a prime example of a journalist being targeted and shot in the neck.

Luckily I'm not negotiating, people much smarter than me are. But I guess it'd have to start with Israel stopping all military activities, and all further settlement, and coming up with a way of untangling all the different zones of occupation so that each people can have their separate area. Really hard to envision how this could happen, but I think it's the only way... and it's technically possible if logistically very difficult.

Also envision somehow getting families to sit down and talk to try to reset some of the hatred on both sides, perhaps like the Gacaca in Rwanda after the genocide there.

Then maybe after a few decades more reintegration could happen.

Think Netanyahu and the crazy right wingers out there need to go too, but he's not exactly popular in Israel and I hope that will happen soon anyway.

Still don't see why Israel should stop first though, given that Hamas started this with the awful atrocities of 7 Oct. So Hamas go first- surrender, give up hostages, and commit to allowing Isreal to exist without constant violence.

Absolutely awful. Yet nothing is being done about it. Remember the outrage when the Israelis asked everyone to move and then started bombing the refugee camps they had told them to move to.

The babies in hospitals who were bombed?

The pregnant women giving birth without any medical interventions? Children with their arms legs amputated without anaesthetic?
Or what about the people who were given their loved ones dead limbs in bin liners and estimating if it’s a child or an adult based on weight?

This is not War. A war would be two armies. This is a genocide. This is a holocaust. Israelis want to exterminate the Palestinians.

Remember how we look at history and think “how did the Nazis get away with it?”

Look at what is happening now.

We know how the Israelis are getting away with it. UK and US are enabling it. The Western Media is enabling it.

We see it though. The reality. We are not blinded by fake excuses and lies. This should not have even started. End the Occupation, give Palestinians their rights and there would be no Hamas.

Sadly if there were no Hamas, there'd be another Iranian backed militia hell-bent on eradicating Israel.

This. Indeed.

I wonder what people think Israel's reaction to Oct 7th should have been? Why didn't the UN demand an immediate hostage release on Oct 8?

Aswad · 17/10/2024 16:23

What an awful, awful way to die and to think he’s father had to witness that and the rest of his relatives.

I actually wish MN hadn't deleted that post. Because now people see the reality. This is the mindset that stands behind genocide, and also slavery. They don't see Palestinians as people. No, I do not mean all Israelis. I mean the ones perpetuating and supporting this.

They don't need to 'be educated'. They know. They know Palestinians are being burned alive in hospitals. They know Palestinian children are eating grass. They don't care, because they don't see Palestinians as human persons.

What intrigues me is why none of the surrounding countries will countenance allowing any Gazan refugees in? I understand Egypt strengthened its border.

Is it because they want Gazans to remain in place like sitting ducks while Hamas run around like rats, beneath them? Or because they are nervous of having Gazans on their soil?

Why hasn't the MENA risen up in support of them? That's the biggest mystery to me.

One that respect the international rules of laws, rules signed up to by the Israeli government of the time.
Since when does Netanyahu take any notice of the UN?

Why Egypt and other Arab countries are unwilling to take in Palestinian refugees from Gaza

As desperate Palestinians in sealed-off Gaza try to find refuge under Israel’s relentless bombardment in retaliation for Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack, many ask why neighboring Egypt or other Arab countries don’t take them in.

Well its been said on here plenty of times that The UN is anti semitic so can be ignored.

Most of the people I have seen on the media outlets defending Israel and Zionism are either American or British.

poor Israel - surrounded by the barbaric Muslim Arab states, who want to get rid of all the Jews.

These Muslim just wake up one day wanting to kill people.

Yes Hamas is the problem, Hezbollah and Iran are the problem. Right. Okay.

Now get off this thread where we’re mourning a young man who burned to death.
