'I Felt Hunted': Israeli Rave Fan Describes Fleeing Massacre
“I couldn’t dream in my worst nightmare something like this,” says Amir Ben Natan, an attendee of the Supernova Sukkot Gathering rave where hundreds died in Hamas attack
I mean hamas is barbaric but I don't understand what do these Israelis expect? You can't imprison/displace millions of people without expecting any backlash? I'm I crazy to think like this?
Not crazy, but you seem to be applying empathy selectively. The victims deserve being remembered and respected (I’m not specifying a side on purpose). Your comment, though factually correct, lacks basic human decency. You’re basically reacting with a “told you so” to the terrible description of a massacre of young people trying to feel alive.
I think what's worse is that that was a peace festival as well if I'm not mistaken. it's a terrible situation for the people caught in between.
If you’re a regular kid and just happen to be born in Israel, is it reasonable to expect to be massacred because of something that some people in your country do and/or support?
your thinking is flawed; don't blame the innocent for the motivation of criminals

I'm not blaming the people at the rave but the policy of Israel.
Hamas is a terrorist organisation and awful, but they wouldn't have the numbers or the motivation without Israel's actions.
They're both bad, what just happened is unforgivable, but we can't just start turning a blind eye to Israel - they aren't the good guys. They're talking about cutting off water supply for millions of people in a desert as retaliation. That's really scary escalation.
I don't blame hamas at all though?
I think both sets of civilians have the right to expect a life free of military oppression and terror, largely uninvolved with the actions of those in charge.
it's deeply infuriating and heartbreaking each time I see stories about a given military organisation taking it out on people just living their lives, from Ukraine to Russia to China to Palestine to Israel and so on: innocent civilians dying (or worse) because of the decisions of military forces & their leash holders.
A constant problem is either an apathetic or even active citizenry supporting those perpetuating the butchery. They either don't see it as their problem or see a schadenfreude like glee in seeing those they deem "subhuman" or unworthy of respect being treated like scum.
Terrorist attacks won't fix that... but I can see how the downtrodden might see it as just desserts for people who help keep them oppressed.
If the people hamas brutalized at this festival were politicians of the Israeli state, or even members of their military or police force, then you may have some kind of point. But these were just innocent people, a good chunk of whom weren't even from Israel. Was the Israeli state itself aware that there would be further violence caused by their continued oppression of Palestinians? Definitely, and they aren't the ones who will suffer that violence.
Innocent people who thought it was totally okay to go party and rave on the outskirts of the biggest open air prison on earth, where people are getting massacred daily. Where children get separated from their parents or families daily, if not murdered themselves or burned alive or raped. Where people are given just enough electricity, drinking water and food to experience slow death and suffer.
Literally you have the entire world open, and if all the places to party and rave you choose that? I do not celebrate death, but if anyone to blame, it is themselves.
Hamas has treated their hostages far better than Israel has treated theirs, even though Israel is a recognized state that answers to the international community, and Hamas is a mere militia.
I'd agree with you if the attack was on the government or military facility, but this is a goddamn music festival!
A music festival held in outskirts of the biggest open air prison on earth, where people are getting massacred daily.
