An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave’s government media office.

More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.

Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.

The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.

    What you’re describing is a genocide. Its a genocide that’s very different from the holocaust.

      I’m asking you to explain to me what is so different from what is happening in Gaza to a Holocaust.

        As I said above, they’re not wearing the same clothing made of black and white stripes. They’re not doing slave labor. They’re not being gassed with the same chemicals. They’re not being burned in ovens.

        Its a genocide with different mechanisms of extermination. The 2013 Gaza Genocide is very different from the Rwandan Genocide, just as the 2013 Gaza Genocide is very different from the Holocaust.
