Testimonies from camp residents, which were provided to the Euro-Med Monitor team, confirm that the sound of women screaming and babies crying was heard late at night on both Sunday and Monday. When some of the residents went out to investigate and tried to help, they were shot at by Israeli quadcopter drones. The sounds they had heard were in fact recordings playedby the Israeli drones, with the intent of forcing the camp’s residents out into the streets, where they could be easily targeted by snipers and other weaponry.

According to the testimonies, this tactic also involved broadcasting gunshots, armed conflicts, explosions, military vehicle movements, and occasionally songs in Hebrew and Arabic in order to psychologically intimidate civilians who live amid total darkness at night and total disconnection from the external world.

The Israeli army randomly and systematically targeted anyone in the Nuseirat camp who was simply walking down the street or peering out of windows, and also targeted some civilian residents who were attempting to move between shelter centres and homes or investigate what was going on in the area. The intensity of bombing and shooting operations increases during the course of the night, directly and purposefully targeting populated residential areas, civilian targets, including schools and mosques that house displaced people, as well as the civilian populace with the intention of killing and injuring them.

    This is beyond evil. I don’t know how any country can support this kind of inhumanity.

      I’ve concluded it’s Racism.

      It’s especially obvious in how German politicians justify their unwavering support of Israel whilst they commit a Genocide using the rationale that Israel is “The Jewish Nation”, which is explicitly about etnicity.

      Modern closet racists still look at people in the same way as traditional racists - judging them and treating them differently depending on their etnicity - whilst having different lists of “good” etnicities and “bad” etnicities than the traditional racists and by not openly discriminating against etnicities which is not “politically correct” to discriminate against have even for decades passed themselves as anti-racist.

      Israel has invested a lot of time and money into projecting an image of being a Western nation surrounded by non-Westerners exactly to leverage the racism in the West, especially in times like now.

        It is a western nation surrounded by non Westerners. The great majority of Jewish people that created the colony of Israel were all European to begin with.

          The most dominant political faction in Israel in the present day are Orthodox Jews who are mostly descendant from Jews that came from Russia, not Western Europe and they have a lot more children than those with a Western mindset, so they keep increasing as a proportion of the population, which is why Israel politics has kept getting more and more extreme rightwing as time went by.

          Further, whilst Europe has in the last half a century actually evolved away from things like the State being tightly coupled with Religion, etnocentrism, militarism and ultra-nationalism, Israel has not only preserved the early XX century mindset, but even in some ways gone in the opposite direction of Europe in social and ideological terms.

          Israel is more akin to of a Jewish and not-yet-quite-as-theocratic Iran, than to any modern Western European country.
