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.
If you’re in the USA don’t you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you’ll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.
Israel First policy going strong across both administrations.
Something both parties can agree on.
the west: “nothing to see here, move on, move on!”
It’s worth reading the whole article, because it makes pretty clear that it was Israeli forces that did this, that they initially struck the ambulances and then proceeded to execute the people in them, and that there were other slaughters of civilians involved in the same action.
What puzzles me is not US, the lobbies are very strong and the media gets funded by well know institutions… but why the EU? Why Japan? Why even the UK since financial contribution is capped… how virtually every single one leader is blind or worse? Even calling for an investigation is outrageous for them!!!
but why the EU
Because white supremacy/Islamophobia.
They literally parrot the same rethoric that Israel is a last bastion of blonde hair blue eyed ubermensch in a sea of brown skinned heretics.
Why Japan
The country that committed the most atrocities during WWII and who the US refused to let the rest of the world punish (sound familiar?) is a fan of ethnic cleansing? The one that refuses to teach about the r*pe of Nanjing in school and spins it as self defense against the barbaric Chinese scum? I’m shocked.
Why even the UK
The country that colonized the majority of the world and whose wealth and power is built on the corpses of the Indigenous peoples they genocided?! The one that started the State of Israel in the first place?!?! Well I never!
I don’t think is that… the EU happily come to “rescue” Uyghurs from Beijing, or Kosovars from Belgrade, or Chechens from Moscow… the pattern I find is always to support Washington DC. For sure, you have much more chances of success by standing with the US (till now at least), but tens and tens of countries… that is not a normal statistical curve! And Corbin’s expulsion doubt US had anything to do with it.
One thing you said lighted my mind though, countries that committed genocide are very into Israel today though… well, no Belgium though… it is complicated I guess, not a normal curve though.
Israel has extremely strong lobbies in many European countries as well. They ousted Corbyn for being anti Israel, so it is safe to say Israel fully controls the UK. The UK also originally colonized Palestine and gave it to the Zionists.
Japan mostly because it is heavily reliant on the US and their population cares little about brown people getting massacared at the other side of the globe.
I get in on UK now… Japan… gosh, I hope not but I am very afraid that is the underlying truth.
After WW2 the US practically took over Japan. Japan is extremely subservient to the US.
Now that China is surpassing over the Japanese manufacturing industry including cars, Japan is in especially dire straits. Their only advantage is their good standing with the US. Japan also has a large amount of US military bases.
Because for these places it’s about more than just the money. They have an ideological position that drives their choices. They are convinced that Israel will allow them all to keep regional solidarity down, and ensure the region never coalesces into a region bound by common goals, self-determination, and mutual defense. Should it become a Europe type entity, representing middle eastern interests collectively, it will become considerably harder to exploit.
They say the dildo of consequence rarely comes lubed. I hope the one for Israel cones barbed and red hot.
at best: this is going the same way that the native american genocides happened and just like then, there will be no consequences.
at worst: americans and isrealis will be subjected to more bombings and/or more 9/11’s, leading our governments to respond with more wars and our people to further inculcate themselves with further complicity.
The colonial abuses of 2 centuries ago were not recorded for most to see. Most recently, from blaming Spain for the sinking of the Maine to blame 9/11 on Afghanistan and Iraq the press got away with it, but now sources are so varied it is hard to suppress the reality any longer. True, we are less likely to protest in streets for change (I blame social media), but no one now trust the system and their arguments either. As we won’t protest, we won’t also join any army to fight in a foreign land for any cause. This will eventually corrode the system from within… just wait for a mayor financial crisis.
the last largest financial crises averted a system wide shutdown and created a welfare state that allowed this system to continue operating and its wealth gap ensures that there will be millions of people who will voluntarily join the military in the hopes of viable future; as is happening right now.
it also feels like the media capture of the colonial narrative is holding strong examplified in tiktok’s ban and ukraine’s invasion. those native american pogroms were documented during their time and the people adjacently impacted, ie the mexicans, were cast aside until the memory of them only existed history books.
i feel that capitalism learns from its mistakes and adjusts since the people who benefit from it are learning, thinking beings who want to perpetuate it for their personal gain; the only thing that can stop it is itself, once it’s inherent contradictions become too large to smooth over.
You have a point… a scary point!
i think that the scariest thing about all of it is that it can only collapse once there’s isn’t enough money in the world to provide the table scraps necessary to keep the pawns inline; meaning that there isn’t enough food, shelter or even drinkable water to keep them towing the line.
Fuck israel with the karmadildo
War crimes! Benji needs to removed from office and go before The Hague for this ! Same as the US for supporting this genocide!
If you think removing Benji will automatically make things better, you’re wrong.
Isreal needs to be torn down brick by fucking brick.
Oh you are absolutely correct! We have to start somewhere….👍
Fuck that is foul.
