Israeli forces have been accused of executing handcuffed Palestinian medics before burying them in a mass grave underneath their crushed ambulances in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

Fifteen humanitarian workers went missing last week after responding to a distress call from civilians being attacked by Israeli forces.

The workers include eight paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), six members of the Palestinian Civil Defence search-and-rescue teams, and one UN staff member.

They were found over the weekend in a mass grave with at least around 20 multiple gunshots in each one of them, according to Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza.

At least one of them had their legs bound, another was decapitated and a third topless, he added.

          one side would have likely been more open to continued pressure to shift stances after the election

          I don’t believe this at all, if it’s true can you tell me what makes you think that? Because neither the Biden or Harris campaign gave me any indication that they would stop arming and defending this genocide

    Condoning or condemning atrocities has rarely been about the race, nationality, religion, etc. of who was harming or being harmed. Whoever is in power at the time decides what is condoned or condemned.

    20th century Jews were at the mercy of a seemingly-unstoppable German force. Now that Israel are largely in charge of the immediate region, they set the tone, forgetting what had been done to their ancestors.

    Americans weep and gnash teeth over foreign atrocities while standing on the blood of Indigenous people their powerful ancestors were perfectly fine murdering just to gain land.

    African tribes slaughtered each other long before becoming victims of Euro/American slavery.

    I’m not justifying any of it. Just saying it’s the ebb and flow of who is in power at the time that determines who gets to decide what’s condoned or condemned, not the race, etc. of the aggressor or victim. Over centuries and millennia, many/most nations and peoples will take turns giving and receiving atrocities. All you need is an evil leader and just enough supporters to make it seem “ok enough”.

      Israel is run by fascists. Most Jews are not fascists. But these fascists would love for you to conflate them with “Jews” in general so they can accuse you of antisemitism. Don’t fall for it.

        The ones who are doing this are jewish, full stop. Small minority are zionists, obviously. My comment was simple and accurate, it’s oxymoronic.

        Coincidentally, these zionists (devoutly religious) think they’re “the chosen people” by god. The nazis thought something similar with all that aryan race nonsense.

        Again, it’s comically oxymoronic, if it wasn’t so horrifying and full of death.

        The Israelis who are enacting policy, making decisions, pulling the trigger, and burying bodies are jewish. That’s why I said oxymoronic. That’s the point I was making, and you know it.

        Edit: also, I didn’t say all jews are nazis obviously.

          No. We don’t know it, because the words you used don’t mean what you think they mean.

          The sentence you were looking for, would have been “Jews who are literal nazis”.

          The sentence you wrote refers to all jews, and deserves the downvotes it is getting.

            The Israeli zionists, in the Israeli government and in the Israeli military, who are jewish in heritage and practicing believers of Judaism, who are doing the genocide killing or decision making for killing kids and innocent, are oxymoronic. Ya know, because of the whole nazi thing during WW2. They’re doing similar things the nazis did to jews.

            My original removed by mod comment, was meant to emphasize the oxymoroic situation. The responses are more focused on the jews are nazis part. Poorly worded. I don’t believe for a second all jews are nazis.

              Zionism goes against the actual teachings of Judaism, it’s very revisionist. Jewish opposition to Israel is as old as Zionism itself. Hasidic Jewish people, while small in number, are still the largest Anti-zionist group in Israel. Jewish people have been at the forefront of Anti-zionist activism for a long time, including Jewish Voice for Peace. Palestinians too of course.

              Zionism uses Judaism as a shield, deflecting criticism against it’s fascist actions as anti-semitic, which in-turn raises the amount of genuine anti-semitism experienced by Jewish people worldwide, due to that false conflation of Judaism and Zionism. That’s why it’s critical to detangle that false conflation.

              Zionism comes from the same roots of other-izing Jewish people as seen in white supremacy, that’s exactly why it’s been supported by white supremacist since the beginning to present day, and why we see this oxymoronic situation you mentioned. Adi Callai, who’s video I linked prior, does a phenomenal analysis of everything we’re talking about now. He has another on the Gaza Ghetto Uprising and on Franz Fanon which are also just as relevant to the current situation. I highly recommend, other than books by Historians

It’s oxymoronic.

    But their shills in the West will make sure that if you raise your voice, depending on your legal status, you will be slandered, roughed up by police, have your degree revoked, snatched up from your family or in the middle of the street, and deported.

    And they will use the charge of antisemitism as a cudgel, all the while playing into all the worst antisemitic tropes and preparing the ground for the next round of actual antisemitic violence.

    Zionism hurts Palestinians first, people who stand up for humanity second, all Jews third. It’s a shit ideology.
