Gaza’s Health Ministry said Thursday that Israeli attacks killed at least 40 Palestinians and wounded 146 over the previous 24 hours as strikes pounded targets across the Strip amid a total Israeli blockade.
The Health Ministry’s figures are based on the number of dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals. “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry said.

According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli strikes included attacks on the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis and in Gaza City and Beit Lahia in the north. At least four Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood, which was hit by massive strikes a day earlier, leaving dozens missing under the rubble.
Al Jazeera reported on Thursday that rescuers continue to search for an estimated 80 people who are missing in Shujaiya.
The Health Ministry said that since Israel restarted its genocidal war on March 18, which it did with full US support, at least 1,522 Palestinians have been killed, and 3,834 have been injured. The renewed bombing campaign has had a devastating toll on children, with more than 500 among those killed.
The ministry also said that its recorded death toll since October 2023 has reached 50,886, and the number of wounded has climbed to 115,875. Gaza’s Government Media Office has said that including Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble brings the death toll to about 62,000. Other estimates that account for indirect deaths caused by the US-backed Israel siege put the death toll in the hundreds of thousands.
Same genocide, different day. This will not end until Israel ends. Israel will not end until the USA ends, its economy collapses, the dollar turned to toilet paper, its troops brought home to put down the food riots….

And, what are YOU???
A Ukrainian university student now hiding out in Poland until the war ends, posting under his third or fourth Disqus username after the last ones, starting with "Christian Vila", got banned on this site.
They say that the state of Israel has to be dissolved and that Jews and Arabs simply have to live together in the region without anyone ruling over someone else.
" its economy collapses, the dollar turned to toilet paper"
Don't fret. Rump is working on it.
Their “food” is disgusting anyway, but in case you wish to boycott:
Burger King to distribute $128,000 in vouchers to Israel soldiers

Give us the whole list!
Disgusting. In the words of Charleton Heston at the end of the movie, Planet of the Apes, "damn you all to hell!".
The soul of America has been taken over by Israel.
Eating Burger King is a crime against humanity.
Sorry can't boycott. last time I had both Burger King and McDonalds was in the early Seventies when I lived in a food desert area. That was enough for the rest of my life not to eat cardboard on a sponge.
Yeah, like I said, I don’t find their offerings palatable, but some may. But they may find genocide even less palatable. That’s the point.
Trump likes their food.
Time to wean Israel off the US tit!…
I'm done complaining about what has been obvious for a very long time, and that is the war criminal nature of Israel and its enabling by the sold-out USA government! Let's just all pray to a merciful God that He will deal with this sooner than later! For a "man" like Trump to praise God for saving his life in Butler, he sure is OK with allowing Israel to mass murder that very same God's children!
LEFTISTS: “These Zionists are evil monsters!”
ISRAEL: “We’re doing this because it is our God-given right to protect the Jewish People.”
LEFTISTS: “It has nothing to do with religion! Judaism is good and Zionists are evil! Why isn’t anyone listening to us?!”
ISRAEL: “We are doing this because it says to in our ancient holy religious texts. Any resistance is anti-Jewish.”
LEFTISTS: “We don’t want to be anti-semites! We don’t want to criticize religion! We don’t even believe Zionism is Jewish at all! We want people to know that Judaism is good and that the Israeli government are evil monsters! Why won’t anyone take us seriously?!”
Empire Shmempire: “Random noun random verb Judaism! Random noun random verb lefists! My car keys are missing because Judaism! Leftism killed the radio star!”
My car keys are missing because Judaism!
Good one. I'm going to run with that. Sounds better than being senile. But not much.
Hey ! "Leftism Killed The Radio Star" was the first music video MTV ever showed !
Your continued personal insults are a result of you not being able to convince me I should submit to the Jewish cult. Thanks for not erasing my comments anymore, though.
I have no interest in convincing you of anything.
But you’re out of rope. Stop violating the site’s guidelines or be gone. Your call.
"Empire Shmempire: "Random noun random verb Judaism! Random noun random verb lefists!"
stupid & annoying walk hand in hand – thx for reminder why i blocked.
The Company killed the radio star.
The majority in the world are against Zionism and the constant killing and genocide against Palestinians and other Arabs. to single out Leftists is childish. Anyway for that matter it is also wrong. Biden and Kamala were true Leftists with insane ideas about transgender and so on, yet they favored killing Palestinians.
Biden and Harris were (and presumably still are) center-rightists.
All politicians are wind sockets.
Most people on Earth are submissive to the perceived goodness of religion and the religions of Judaism and Christianity, which justify this mass murder in the minds of those actually committing the mass murder. The Right is fully dug-in to their religious sects, and the Left is mostly dug-in but less-so, and just tolerant of religion mostly because of Jewish/Islamic influence. Even on this website, merely saying “Judaism is bad” gets comments deleted. This is a problem. Right now, The Left is the only weapon the world has against total religious domination, which is why I target the Left, but I’m starting to believe religious tolerance is just as insidious as religious fascism.
Opiate of the masses.
The last cry of the oppressed.
Myth as truth.
Judaism isn't bad. It's a religion. And like all other religions, it's not evidently true, evidently NOT true, and/or both.
How its tenets or doctrine are applied by people, IS the real issue. To paraphrase 'Blade Runner', religions "are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's nobody's problem."
"Right now, The Left is the only weapon the world has against total religious domination, which is why I target the Left, but I’m starting to believe religious tolerance is just as insidious as religious fascism."
You seem confused.
So does the world.
"Biden and Kamala were true Leftists with insane ideas about transgender…"
So far as I remember, their policy seemed to be "transgender people are human, and should be treated with dignity".
What's "insane" about treating people they way they want to be treated ?
"What's 'insane' about treating people they way they want to be treated ?"
and what's "leftist" about it? – valuing individual liberty is a major strand of liberal thought and practice – largely apart from its "leftist," bohemian versions…
How's that "leftist bohemian" ideal different?
I looks more like a corollary to me.
"How's that 'leftist bohemian' ideal different?
I looks more like a corollary to me."
Broadly…I'd say that – in practice – liberal ideals of individual liberty – and equality, since you mention it – are understood as a value and something to be striven for within the framework of society as it more-or-less is;
whereas left countercultural versions of these values understand them as only realizable for all by political change; and not only try to live them, but understand them as the avant-garde of a future social order.
Yes, overly schematic, since – again, in practice – 'liberal' and 'left wing' versions of these values can and do overlap.
In US history, pre-WWI left bohemian enclaves, and the 1960s counterculture would be two cases of that – of both utopian left ideas of personal-political liberation, and of their overlap with mainstream liberal cultural rebellion.
“pre-WWI left bohemian enclaves, and the 1960s counterculture”
Woodstock was one of those enclaves.
"Woodstock was one of those enclaves."
Yes.
"By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation"
A majority of the world does not give a sh*t.
That's a very superficial straw man definition of the Left.
"Transgender and so on" are not fundamental leftist concepts. They are secondary, deriving from a fundamental belief in equality.
Insanity is a very subjective concept, especially when applied to human sexuality and gender.
Most cynics would expect land developers to begin demolishing Gaza's buildings and site excavations, and removing the dirt and debris within a year. That would include transporting a few hundred thousand complete and partial Palestinian corpses to a newly constructed concrete pulverizing facility.
The Israelis have a fully developed sense of the macabre.
