    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.
