Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.

Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.

    Though luck. You voted terrorists into power and let them dig tunnels under your cities. So cleanup is going to get messy.

    As long as nobody has a better idea on how to get rid of Hamas, this is unavoidable.

      You should go fuck yourself with these inhuman statements. There are millions of ideas if you cared enough.

        And yet you couldn’t even name a single one, nor could anybody else that I asked the question.

        Hard problems don’t magically go away just because you pretend they are easy.

      A reminder (that really shouldn’t be needed) that collective punishment is a war crime.

              What does it not? There have been no elections in 20 years. It’s a dictatorship and a huge amount of Gazans had no say whatsoever in their “leadership”.

                So they should be happy that Israel is helping them get rid of it.

                  By killing thousands of them? By removing access to water, internet, By bombing hospitals and infrastructure? By keeping them trapped in an open air prison? No I don’t think so, if Israel wanted to help the Palestinians there are a million positive things they could do to get rid of hamas, destroying the homes and livelihoods of Palestinians is not one of them.

                    By killing thousands of them?

                    That’s the price you pay for getting rid of a dictatorship.

                    if Israel wanted to help the Palestinians there are a million positive things they could do to get rid of hamas

                    And that would be? Please be the first to answer the unanswerable question that every Palestine supporter just loves to dodge.
