      They’re being counted. But people are denying the counts because the people doing the counting are from Gaza and can’t be trusted, kind of a perfect catch-22. We don’t trust you to tell us how many people have died therefore you can’t tell us how many people have died.

        But when Israel claims to have found “detailed plans” on the bodies of foot soldiers that just so conveniently can be used to justify Israel’s genocidal actions, we are all supposed to believe them.

        Cause yea a military organization just goes down to Kinkos, prints off their super secret plan, and distributes it to everyone they are sending into battle, ya know, to keep it secret.

        Also if they kill everyone, that means no one died and shows how peaceful Israel is.

    It’s fucking awful when innocent people pay for the price. In emergency situations such as the one described in the article, the need to address and respond to the situation takes precedence over religious law or traditions. The mention of Jewish law in the article is unnecessary in the context.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Hundreds of soldiers, women, and children in body bags line shelves of refrigerated trucks, awaiting examination.

    “Generally, Jewish law says that you cannot break the Sabbath for a dead person,” said Rabbi Israel Weiss, who is helping lead the operation.

    Seeking the final word on their loved ones, families across Israel have flocked to hospitals to give DNA samples in the hope that they can be matched to the bodies at one of several bases around the country receiving the dead.

    Her family spent a whole day searching Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel to find her body, only to come up short.

    Rabbis have not worked on the Sabbath since 2005, said Weiss, when the rabbinate disinterred graves from a cemetery in an Israeli settlement in Gaza that residents evacuated as part of Israel’s unilateral withdrawal at the time.

    Still, the freshly dug graves were visible, illuminated by harsh floodlights to help the military guard nearby keep close watch.
