Kidnapping and killing random civilians... including at a "Festival for Peace" music festival near Gaza. Absolutely disgusting and horrific.
- The "festival for peace" thing has been retracted, the article now says "an all-night dance party, celebrating the Jewish holiday of Sukkot"
  
  It was likely propaganda
  
  The event was billed as a celebration of “friends, love and peace.”

What the world didn’t need right now was another war. I hope this ends as swiftly and peacefully as possible.
- This is not a new conflict, we just ignore usually this one.
  
  This looks like a pretty sudden escalation though
  
  If you think "we" are ignoring a conflict that is never out of the news in western nations for more than a few weeks at most and never at all in the Arab nations, what do you call what "we" do to the numerous other conflicst in Africa, the Middle East, Central and South-East Asia and South America?
  
  Israel has officially declared war though and is planning a complete siege of the Gaza strip.
- Bibi sure needed it to cover up the mass protests that were taking place after he rammed through judicial reform to keep himself out of jail.
  
  Failure of Israeli intelligence starting to make sense...
  
  Conspiracy Theory. Then why not do it earlier, when the protests were still in international news instead of now when everyone intenationally already lost interest and turned back to watching the Golden Bachelor?
- Palestine breached walls and took hostages. That hasn’t happened in decades. Israel is going to make a statement in retaliation.
  
  So this isn’t going away anytime soon.
  
  No usually it's Israel leveling buildings because Dan slept on the couch and might have thrown a rock at an Israeli when he was 7.
- No way this ends swiftly.
- Sadly it won’t. Peaceful options were already slim before this. It likely won’t end until Israel has destroyed Hamas.
Why does the headline says '600 killed' and the last bullet point bellow says '250 killed'?
- Because you can’t read lol. One are Israelis and the other Palestinians.
  
  Thanks for the useless assumption, but I already figured out that when seeing in mobile the bullet points loaded text from a previous version of the article when it was '250'. It can be seen in the archive.
Can we just kick-start the rapture so people in power can stop pretending to care about israel?
