Hamas attacking Universo Parallelo psytrance festival in Israel

[Uplifted]

As some of you may know, Universo Parallelo is one of the biggest psytrance events, which is the heart of the Brazilian psytrance community and the most international festival in Brazil.

Just like Ozora or Boom festival, it sometimes has smaller events around the world- and one of them was called "Tribes Of Nova Pres. Supernova - Universo Parallelo Israel Edition" which was held near the Israel-Gaza border. As you can see, this lineup features some amazing goa/psytrance artists, including my favourites.

Yesterday morning hamas terrorists stormed the Universo Paralello festival, reportedly killing hundreds of innocent festival-goers.

It’s reported they threw hand grenades into the crowd, open-fired blindly and 4 of the acts are still missing

At the same time, the Miri in the Desert festival, featuring artists like Volcano on Mars, Faders, Dickster, Laughing Buddha and more, was also taking place not too far from Universo Parallelo. Fortunately, this event seems to have been less impacted by the ongoing conflict.

Lots of more videos with the hamas brutal actions can be currently found online, but I don't want to flood the thread too much.

Spectra Sonics (Japanese headliner) is now at hotel, I can imagine his shock yesterday...

Astral Projection saying he's safe.

Protonica stuck in Tel Aviv hotel

Horrible….

 

[BladeRunner_]

Fucking scum

 

[Katadunkass]

Jesus fucking Christ, this is horrible

 

[Progrez]

Hope MWNN is allright

 

[LostLegend]

Awful.
Now given the IDF more reason to start lobbing bombs back the other way with yet more casualties.

As always it’s the civilians stuck in the middle of all this that pay the price

 

[Archon]

Just read that more than 250 bodies have been pulled out from the festival site. Awful.

He's safe, as Protonica posted this earlier today.

Unfortunately Kido still hasn't been found. He opened the Mushroom stage on Friday at 10PM...

Given the context and names referenced, I believe this is Astral's story getting out. Note that while it is just his text recollection, it's pretty upsetting. They just barely made it out.

No words for the destruction and losses. It's so sad this planet we call Earth. Deep condolences to the the affected and their families. May God Bless You and Yours.

How does a response of raining fire down on the most densely populated area on earth help the situation. I don’t understand.

They have labeled the entire Gaza people terrorists and given themselves a free pass to turn their small world into rubble and blood.

It’s exactly what the Americans did with Afghanistan. Take the actions of extremists to justify the destruction of an entire country.

Moved to off-topic as more suitable there.

Heartbreaking situation all round, from whatever perspective you take. Can't even follow news about this. To me the conflict between these two nations is the very worst example of humanity we have on earth at the moment. It's a never ending cycle of hate perpetuated by both sides equally.

 

[Dreamless]

Hamas Terrorists - murders 1000 innocent people
Israeli Gov - murders 1500 innocent people

Which is worse? They are the same. Psychopaths and extremists killing endless innocents. Netanyahu is a terrorist just as Hamas, but he has the disgrace to do it as an elected leader, someone the world should respect. Jewish people nearly eradicated themselves then go on to taint their name in history by doing the same thing, it is so tragic. We will look back on Hamas and Israel as equals.

hol' up, THIS is the "music festival" that people were talking about?

god damn, I have no words. It's too close to our trance hobby

 

[Halon]

the world is a sick place

Which is worse?

Well there is obviously a difference between the attacker and the one responding to it.

If two people break into my house, kill my husband, and as a response I kill then both. Am I worse as it’s 2-1 murder-wise?

that's messed up logic man, if they break into your house you kill them on your ground, you don't find out where they live and bomb the entire city block bc of them

both sides of this conflict are villains

Depends on how you kill them, in direct self defence, or as revenge 24h later after they killed your husband.

And this is where the moral grey area comes in. Is the isreali response self defence or "solving the problem" they've had a part in creating and have been stuck with for a decennia now?

Netanyahu's policy since the last encursion in 2014 for instance has not been to "fight" hamas or boycot their (party illegal) funds...instead he allowed for huge cash sums to flow into Gaza's "problem" areas, and largely ignoring militairy provocation.

not to say that Hamas is any better, as since their inception their version of a constitution literally calls for the extermination of Isreal/the jews.

It is possible to be against Hamas and IDF's actions at the same time. This is absolutely brutal no matter what, thousands of civilians getting killed on both sides, men, women, children. What a fucking world we live in
