CAIRO, Aug 10 (Reuters) - An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school compound housing displaced Palestinian families killed around 100 people, the Gaza Civil Emergency Service said on Saturday, while Israel said the toll was inflated and 19 militants were among the dead.

Video from the site showed body parts scattered among rubble and more bodies being carried away and covered by blankets. Empty food tins lay in a puddle of blood, and burned mattresses and a child's doll lay in the debris.

In another video, men prayed over a dozen body bags laid on the ground of the Tabeen school complex.

The Israeli strike drew condemnation from Arab states, Turkey, France, Britain and the European Union and an expression of deep concern from the U.S., which has been working with partners to prevent the 10-month-old Gaza conflict from escalating into a regional war.

How can you say religion is irrelevant when the entire Jewish identity is based on religion?

Are they also an ethnic group or just religious?

I find confusing information on that.

Maybe in the rural USA. Come to Western Europe. Religion is totally irrelevant here now. I met hundreds of Europeans.

Yes, it is an ethnic group but so much of that culture is grounded in Biblical stories.

@Karmadhi How can you say religion is irrelevant when the entire Jewish identity is based on religion? And same for Christians.

You're living in fantasy land. Religion defines the whole shebang.

We have still not evolved past Christianity in 2024.

Hitler didn’t care if you’re religious or not. 
 

Most of the Israeli government aren’t religious.
Most of the soldiers in IDF aren’t religious.

Religious people in Israel aren’t serving in the military.
Israel is fighting religious powers in the Arab world. 
Most of Arab countries don’t have freedom to believe in what you want. They will execute you if you’re not following Islam.

I am always surprised how you can’t see who is more evolved in this fight. I am not saying that there aren’t extremist in Israel but those are the minority and are not in power.

I have always said that Israel is more developed than Palestine.

But that's beside the point when it comes to fairness. It's as if I saw you kicking a dog, and called you out, and you replied, "I am surprised you can't see who is more evolved in this fight."

And yet you didn't really disprove what he said. 

He said the majority of the Israeli government isn't religious, which is true. You cherry picked.

Then as a counter to what he said about most Arab nations, you referenced Qatar, which is one of the more moderate nations that Israel actually has good relations with. More cherry picking.

Qatar established unofficial trade relations with the State of Israel in 1996, the first amongst all nations of the Arabian Peninsula.

They are key politicans, what you mean? "Moderates" like Gantz are irrelevant since they are not in government.

The current Israeli governement has been called as the most far right in its history.

I said also Lebanon, UAE.

Name me some Arab countries then. Iran and Afghanistan are not Arab countries.

I said UAE, Qatar, Lebanon.

I would kick a dog if he would try to bite me. And you need to trust my judgment as a developed person that I didn’t do it because I’m psychopath.

Maybe the dog bit you because you are a dog molestor.

If you were a dog molestor would you admit it? Or would you just blame the dog?

I want to believe I would admit it and go to therapy  but things aren’t black or white in life.

I love my dog with my whole heart but if he would bite my baby I would definitely teach him a lesson.
