Zookeeper Emad Jamil Qasim looks at the remains of a pregnant camel at the Gaza zoo. A missile fired by Israelitroops shot through the back of the camel. In every corner of the zoo and in every cage lie dead animals.
OR maybe the IOF saw that the animals were dying due to the fact that they have no food and water as a result of the three weeks war on Gaza, so IOF shot them with MERCY BULLETS?
I wonder if this fact will move some ACTIVISTS in Europe and USA? Maybe the animals are more valuable to them than the 460 Palestinian children slaughtered by the Jewish state?
Or maybe Israel will be brought to war criminal court because they killed these 'innocent' animals?
Or maybe the US government will block all the aid and arms supply to the Jewish state for their cruelty with the animals?
Just maybe!
Note: Sorry I don't have an "Animal Rights" category to file this post under so I selected the closest, which is "Human Rights".

I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if this does actually stir some response from the West if it gets publicized!
Israel has created such a massive propaganda and media campaign over the years, that they have completely dehumanized Palestinians in the eyes of the majority of the West. The fact that the entire world said nothing in the face of twenty-two days of genocide, is nothing short of a crime in itself.
I’m so sorry to hear of this travesty committed by IDF savages! The zoo was a featured topic on the National Geographic Travel magazine last year. I suggest contacting them to inform them of what happened to the zoo. Maybe they will be able to donate some funds for a new zoo.
The boundaries of how low IDF troops are have sunk even further beyond any recorded precedence.
Their evil is now on display for the entire world to sit up and take note.
Imagine the worldwide condemnation if HAMAS had done this at Tel Aviv ZOO>?
Why do stories like this NEVER EVER seem to make it on western tv screens for the sad Schlubbs to see first hand what Israel are doing. FOR SHAME israel FOR SHAME
Eh, could be worse.
It WAS worse!!!!!
1300 people died and more than 5000 were injured. Plus 90% of the city infrastructure was destroyed.
What could be worse?!
the israeli soldiers even killed the animals in the zoo…the bastards!
this gets worse every time I read something else my heart dies a little more – I wish there was something practical I could do to help… what advice can you give me – what is the best most direct way I can help the people of Gaza.

I spent three awful weeks watching the carnage on AlJazeera because it was the only news one could get anywhere in the West. My heart broke. My heart breaks a little more, if that is possible, at the slaughter of animals in Gaza.
Wow. Unfortunately, I think you are right in that some Americans would express more outrage over this event than the rest of the daily tragedies in Gaza- partially from our somewhat unique obsession with domesticated animals, and partially because of the helplessness and innocence of the animals. This sad event marks a twisted irony because Gazans are in such a similar position- caged in with no resources, left to be shot at.
I suppose that some people would feel more empathy towards the loss of the zoo animals than to the lost human lives because it is easier to accept as fact, but is there more to that? I think that if there were more reliable news reports reaching the states and the public had a greater comprehension of the wider scope of the issues and their history, we might be more responsible global citizens. This might just be the ramble of the idealistic college student, but I have to hope that people can care more (or AT LEAST as much) about the loss of a Palestinian child as they wood about a baby zoo animal. Of all the things…
