A British citizen is among dozens of festival attendees who are missing, kidnapped or presumed dead

The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.

The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.

Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.

Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.

      That’s why you revolt and form revolutions. But, when a majority of the country is on the wrong side, that becomes the public face of the country.

        Not what I’m saying. If my government does something I disagree with then it’s not really representing me.

            I think they meant support, please tone down your rhetoric. It’s not conducive to the growth of ideas. Also a person can misrepresent someone. If I elect someone on my behalf to promote a healthy lifestyle and instead they use all their power to sell cigarettes to children you could argue they are not faithfully representing your agreed upon views. Technically yes they are the representative though.

            So you are cheering on every decision your government makes? You must be living alone on a private island.
