Meanwhile bodies are piling up on the streets in Gaza with nobody to count them.
Having to work on your day off is the worst.
Garfield: “Mondays” 😕
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.
The original article contains 914 words, the summary contains 160 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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.

A story about rabbis counting the bodies of civilians killed in a major terrorist attack is being down voted by users. If this is something you think needs to be suppressed, you need to reassess your priorities.
Perhaps Israel shouldn’t have put so much effort into ensuring Palestinians didn’t have access to education and other basic human rights. I’m not into what Hamas is doing or what they’ve done really ever, but what were these rabbis doing while Palestine was being bulldozed for settlements? What, honestly, was the expected outcome? Decades of grinding them down wasnt making things more peaceful. I don’t get it. You cannot blame people for not being sympathetic to headlines like this. You just can’t.
I hear you.
Hamas is founded on the principle that Jews should not exist. Yet you expect Israelis to invite the Palestinians over for coffee and hummus.
Good job conflating Palestinians with Hamas. The only reason I might suspect it’s not intentional is that you did it with such a glaring lack of subtlety.
It’s their government, and multiple polls show that most Palestinians support Hamas, so it’s not conflation. It’s realism.
Zionist is founded on the principle that taking the whole Palestine as their own land. Yet you expect Palestinian to invite Zionists over for coffee and hummus.
I think its “Israeli state shouldnt exist” not “Jews shouldnt exist”.
Jews were living in most Arab countries including Palastine well before the establishment of Israeli state.
Edit: In fact Jews do live in Iran until this day
Hamas specifically advocates for total ethnic cleansing.
Ya but like what many people repeat. Palestine is not Hamas.
Hamas is the government of Gaza.
Palestine is not Hamas.
Hamas is the governing party of Palestine. Palestine is Hamas in the same way Russia is the Putin administration. Certainly that can change in the future, but right now, Hamas is running the government of Palestine.
Zionist doesn’t represent Jew. Jewish is a religion, Zionist is a radical movement.
They arrested many “American Jews” in NY in last few days for protesting genocide against Palestinians in their name. No media is reporting on it.
… I misread, never mind.
At some point as you grow up, you’ll have the opportunity to study history. I suggest you do so.
I guess Israel shouldnt have backed Hamas in order create an Islamist opposition to the secular Fatah and PLO huh?
I would guess they haven’t read that far
Fuck all these theocratic governments. This is what happens.
Rabbis having to work on the sabbath isn’t a new important revelation, it’s just a twist to refresh the story of “a lot of Israelis died” in the back and forth propaganda war.
It’s not being “suppressed”, it’s just not news. And it’s very one-sided non-news at that.
Emergency takes precedence over religious law or traditions. The mention of Jewish law in the article is unnecessary in the context.
