Palestinians say the devastating war between Israel and Hamas 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 grief.

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.

    So I provide a potential solution and you hand wave it away

    I repeat myself: How is that going to stop Hamas?

    Your “solution” is not much of a solution when it completely fails to address the problem at hand.

        Hamas killing over 1000 Israeli’s and shooting thousands of rockets at Israel, in case you missed it.

            Yawn. As predicted, yet another one without a solution to the problem.

              No I have one, but it doesn’t fit your narrative so you dismissed it, your solution is to kill every last Palestinian because they are or could be hamas. Yawn, predictable.

                Way to misrepresent @lloram239 ‘s position. The solution they are defending is to depose Hamas by military force, not exterminate every civilian on the other side. Genocide is Hamas’ position regarding Israel as per their original charter, not the other way around.

                build bridges, don’t bomb them.

                Israel tried that when they unilaterally withdrew and allowed Gazans more economic freedoms. This autonomy was used to launch the most recent massacre.

                  Economic freedom by caging them in the strip? Controlling every point of entry and exit? Controlling water and gas that can come in and out? Odd way to “allow freedom”

                  That never works, there are always more, im not misrepresenting their point. That would be the only outcome. Kill Palestinians to get to hamas, bomb and destroy their homes and hospitals, and schools to get to hamas. If Israel wanted to kill hamas with military means they wouldn’t need to destroy North gaza to do so.
