‘An absolute massacre’: Aftermath of Israeli attack on popular Gaza cafe

Video discussing some of the people that were killed. A photojournalist, female boxer, an old man, a few little girls (one of which was having a small birthday party where she was being gifted a teddy bear)--the usual targets.

I've heard this was done by an F16 missile strike. The Israeli pilot, the IDF, the Israeli government, the Israeli state-- they massacred 37 innocents in this terrorist attack, killing all but two that were in this cafe.

Death, death to the IDF

Yeah...

The following is an article about two of the writer's cousins that Israel murdered in the cafe: War on Gaza: The world only saw my cousins' deaths. I want you to know their lives

I think it's important to not let these people become mere statistics. These oppressors are doing much more than merely killing people; they are snuffing out their present, robbing them of their futures, killing out their potential.

There are many brilliant and kind minds in Palestine that will never come to flourish because of the actions of the oppressors. Any possible advancement or contribution into this world--gone, ripped from this world, ripped from us. Every act of oppression made by these self-designated "peace-makers", is a desecration of the past, present, and future.

Elaborate.

Don't be shy now.

Elaborate.

Another:

Yousef Abu Jalila, 38, used to rely on humanitarian aid distributed through the WFP to feed his family of 10. But no such package has arrived in over two months, and the price of what little remains in the markets has skyrocketed.

Now sheltering in a tent in Al-Yarmouk Stadium in central Gaza City, after their home in the Sheikh Zayed neighborhood was destroyed during the Israeli army’s October 2024 incursion into northern Gaza, he told +972: “My children cry to me that they’re hungry, and I have nothing to feed them.”

With no white flour or remnants of canned food, Abu Jalila has no choice but to show up at the aid distribution points or wait for the aid trucks. “I know I might be one of those killed while trying to get food for my family,” Abu Jalila told +972. “But I go, because my family is starving.”

On June 14, Abu Jalila left the tent camp with a group of neighbors after hearing rumors that aid trucks might arrive in the Equestrian club area in the northwestern part of the Gaza Strip. When he got there, he was surprised to find thousands of others hoping to bring back food for their families.

As the hours passed, the crowd drifted closer to an Israeli military position. Then, without warning, several Israeli artillery shells exploded in the middle of the gathering.

“I still don’t know how I survived it,” Abu Jalila said. “Dozens of people were killed, their bodies torn to pieces. Many others were wounded.”

In the chaos, some fled in panic while others scrambled to load the dead and injured onto donkey carts as there were no ambulances or cars nearby. “One young man was blown in half; others had their limbs ripped off,” Abu Jalila recalled. “These were innocent people, unarmed, just trying to get food. Why kill them this way?”

Shaken and empty-handed, Abu Jalila walked four hours back to Gaza City, his legs trembling. When he reached the tent, his children were already outside, waiting. “They were hoping I’d bring food,” he said. “I wished I could die rather than see the disappointment in their eyes.”

This following excerpt is from just one of the stories in this article. Within this one alone, there is so much tragedy, so much cruelty deliberately caused by other humans--wretched humans who will never be held accountable as long as we allow the Western governments to be complicit in their crimes:

In the early hours of June 11, before sunrise, 19-year-old Hatem Shaldan and his brother Hamza, 23, went to wait for aid trucks near the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip. They hoped to return with a bag of white flour for their family of five. Instead, Hamza returned with his younger brother’s body wrapped in a white burial shroud.

The Shaldan family had lived virtually without food for nearly two months due to Israel’s blockade, crammed into a classroom-turned-shelter in eastern Gaza City. Their home, once nearby, was destroyed completely by an Israeli airstrike in January 2024.

At around 1:30 a.m., the two brothers joined dozens of starving Palestinians on Al-Rashid Street along the shore upon hearing that trucks carrying flour would enter the Strip. Two hours later, they heard shouts of “The trucks are coming!” followed immediately by the sound of Israeli artillery shelling.

“We didn’t care about the shelling,” Hamza recounted to +972 Magazine. “We just ran toward the trucks’ lights.”

But in the chaos of the crowd, the brothers got separated. Hamza managed to grab a 25kg bag of flour. When he returned to their agreed-upon meeting spot, Hatem wasn’t there.

“I kept calling his phone, over and over, without answer,” Hamza said. “My heart ached. I began seeing dead bodies being carried over to where I was. I refused to believe my brother might be among them.”

Hours after Hatem went missing, Hamza received a call from a friend: a photo of an unidentified body had surfaced in local Whatsapp groups, taken at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza. Hamza sent a cousin — a tuk-tuk driver — to check. “Half an hour later, he called back, his voice shaking. He told me it was Hatem.”

Upon hearing this, Hamza passed out. When he came to, people were pouring water on his face. He rushed to the hospital, where a man wounded in the same artillery strike explained what had happened: Hatem and about 15 others had tried to hide in tall grass when Israeli tanks opened fire.

“Hatem was hit by shrapnel in his legs,” the man said. “He bled for hours. Dogs circled them. Eventually, when more aid trucks arrived, people helped move the bodies onto one of them.”

In total, 25 Palestinians were killed that morning waiting for aid trucks on Al-Rashid Street. Hamza brought Hatem’s body back to Gaza City and buried him beside their mother, who was killed by an Israeli sniper in August 2024. Their older brother, Khalid, 21, had died months earlier — in a January airstrike while evacuating wounded civilians on his horse cart.

Archive Mirror

Since this was already posted. I am going to delete this post and submit the archive mirror to the earlier post.

Very well. I'll update my recent posts.

I almost had today's article confused with yesterday's when Israelis massacred at least 80 Palestinians in Gaza.

A 2.0 is pretty good, no?

“The Israeli army said it bombed the house because there was a Hamas officer in there, which is totally false. I know the whole family. It’s nonsense. It’s just so devastating.”

So, this wasn't even a random bombing. It was 100^100% deliberate precise targeting.

It's not even shocking anymore.

I'm always happy to help educate a fellow goy!

What is Zionism?

In short, Zionism is just Nazism but replace Aryan with Jew.

The more fleshed out answer is that Zionism is an ideology with its basis being Jewish racial supremacy. Just like with Nazi ideology and the Aryans, Zionist ideology believes in both the right and the entitlement to an ethnostate of a "special" or "chosen" people no matter the means, even if it comes at the deprivation of rights and injustice of other people.

Why is this problematic?

The problem is two-fold and can be found by observing history. During the founding of the current iteration of the Zionist project, known as Israel, the Jewish racial supremacists would rape, murder, and rob the indigenous people initially living on the land where the supremacists wanted to establish their ethnostate. Currently, Zionists will glorify, support, and perpetuate these actions to keep the ethnostate alive.

Why do Zionists glorify, support, or partake in rape, murder, and thievery?

First, Zionists believe racial Jews have the literal right commit such heinous actions against others, as Zionism holds racial Jews to be superior to others or as "God's chosen people". Second, even if these actions are deemed evil, Zionism justifies them as "necessary" evils, as they ensure the establishment and perpetuation of the Jewish ethnostate--something Zionism holds above all else.

Summary

A person who is a Zionist is a person who believes that racial Jews have the right to rape, murder, and rob others, whether due to their perceived privilege or to ensure the establishment and perpetuation of their ethnostate.

I hope this answers your question!

The comments from the enlightened athiests are killing me, lmao.

OP, from my understanding of Jewish religion, whether your dogma permisses the consumption of biscuits or not can be found by observing your stance on Zionism.

If you're Zionist, you're already rebelling against Yahweh's decree of Three Oath's by either outright denial or by thinking you can outsmart Yahweh through some perceived technicality or loophole. If that's the case, by all means, eat all the biscuits you desire; you'll eventually find someway to convince yourself that you didn't actually violate the decrees during Passover anyways.

Now, if you're not a Zionist, then you are actually following Yahweh and give proper respect and credence into the very spirit of Yahweh's decrees. In that case, no, do not eat any biscuits. Just like Lent and Ramadan, Passover will eventually. . . pass over, and you will live to eat your beloved biscuits another day.

You know, all this targeting of children and infants reminds me of the Pharoah's slaughter of the Jewish infants in ancient Egypt. . . What was the reason again?

Reading these accounts, their details, how can we not feel hatred and disgust towards those responsible?

When I responded to the commenter before you, I was thinking more in the general sense with scientific constructivism and the Bohrian interpretation of observation, measurement, and reality in mind.

However, what you said reminds me of the more institutionalized issues plaguing the sciences, and my mind went to the textbook case of The Bell Curve.

Science is a construct made by humans in their effort to best understand the world they exist in. The consciousness of science is not nothing, but the collective conciousness of every human being that has participated, and along with it, their collective follies and limitations.
