I don’t see how anyone who’s paying attention to anything still believes in a god worth worshipping, if any god at all.
Ironically, it’s probably in part due to how shit the world is you hope there is a god.
But there isn’t.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The video was shot in the early hours of Oct. 8 by a woman searching for a missing friend at the site of the rave in southern Israel where, the day before, Hamas terrorists massacred hundreds of young Israelis.
Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.
And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush’s — legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.
That same morning, along Route 232 but in a different location about a mile southwest of the party area, Raz Cohen — a young Israeli who had also attended the rave and had worked recently in the Democratic Republic of Congo training Congolese soldiers — said that he was hiding in a dried-up streambed.
Jamal Waraki, a volunteer medic with the nonprofit ZAKA emergency response team, said he could not get out of his head a young woman in a rawhide vest found between the main stage and the bar.
Yinon Rivlin, a member of the rave’s production team who lost two brothers in the attacks, said that after hiding from the killers, he emerged from a ditch and made his way to the parking area, east of the party, along Route 232, looking for survivors.
The original article contains 3,352 words, the summary contains 271 words. Saved 92%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m sorry, is this supposed to make us OK with Israel bombing hospitals because a rapist might be hiding there?
Israel has been doing this shit for decades, and while this story is still horrific, it’s clearly designed for the reader to justify the violence against Hamas.
Neither side is without blood on their hands, but the scope is drastically different.
I don’t understand why folks think that posting articles that document one side’s atrocities is implicitly advocating for or justifying the other side. That is just the scope of the article and we need accuracy to make sense of all the shit going on.

No. Please master basic literacy. Learning about evil things Hamas has done has no relation to trying to justify things Israel has done.
Friendly reminder that Israel weaponized sexual violence long before even Hamas was a thing, let alone Oct 7.
Everything that Hamas did on Oct 7, Israel has already done to the Palestinian people.
Rape was always a disgusting strategy of war
Absolutely.
Friendly reminder your friendly reminder has no observable purpose beyond whataboutism.
But did you condemn Israel?
Exactly. Disgusting and extreme brutality on both sides but especially from the Israeli side and for generations now.
Friendly reminder, don’t believe people posting random shit without evidence. So your own research and fact check the sources for bias.
Often times you’ll find people like the above that just want you to support terrorists by attempting to invalidate human suffering with lies.
Friendly reminder, this genocide has shown the world how Israel operates.
Often times you’ll find people like the above defending genocidal colonist states by attempting to invalidate human suffering with lies.
Like for instance the above user posts nothing but pro-Israel comments. Such an inauthentic account is designed to manipulate you.
Cool. Source? Also this is a news article about a specific event. That’s why they are describing and framing the article of how Hamas did it on that day.
Cool
No. Not cool.

Yes I get that. But realize that rape is rape. Trivializing rape of other people or asking for evidence while taking stories from your own at face value is bullshit.
If we are condemning Hamas for its atrocities in Israel then we must condemn Israel for what it has been committing for the past 75 years. Yes, 75 - there are documented cases of rape committed by Israelis against Palestinians during the Nakba.
