Videos obtained by MEE showed scores of bodies strewn across the floor of the Tabin school in Gaza City after it was targeted in an early morning strike

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.

    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.
