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.
AP telling the same story. Looked like Reuters was, as well, at a quick glance. So I guess this is confirmed.
What a terrible thing.
I’m not against Jews, I’m against Israel. It appears that the lesson they learned from the Nazis is how to commit atrocities.
You cannot expect atrocities to lead to anything good. We see it in gaza right now, the ongoing genocide will breed more terrorists and more conflicts.
which is part of the plan. without constant conflict the likes of Bibi Hitleryahu could never obtain power.
It’s almost as if the lesson should be that Jews aren’t unique and are just like any other people. And if you put any group of people into an explicit ethnostate, that group of people is going to turn into Nazis.
Most countries around the world are based on ethnicity/national identity. Yet they all don’t manage to turn into Nazis. It’s not the state type its the choice made by its people.
There is a difference between having a dominant ethnic identity and being an ethnostate.
Israel is only 75% Jewish 🤷
Obviously they’re trying to be an ethnostate and like to commit genocide. But it’s not like they’re doing that purely bc it’s only one group of people within their borders.
Ethnostate refers to them explicitly having written in their constitution that they are a state for ethnic Jews. Any civilized country has a constitution that grants human rights to ebery human and certain civil rights based on citizenship. Israel explicitly is designed as an ethnic supremacy apartheid state.
Ahh that makes the comment I was replying to make way more sense. Didn’t fully realize the extent to which Israel is founded on ethnic superiority
All Israeli citizens have the same rights under Israeli law.
Feels like most places have had their genocide era
Well we exist in the present, not the past. There’s not much to be gained today by sanctioning the Italians for the genocide their ancestors committed against the Gauls.
Not surprised. There’s a video out there with a journalist interviewing older IDF veterans who talk about murdering Palestinian civilians and the sick bastards are smiling.
around 20 multiple gunshots in each one of them […] one of them had their legs bound, another was decapitated
Oh that’s not good
The Israeli military said in an initial statement that trucks were struck because they were being used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Ah thank goodness for a clear explanation
for a country that loves to talk about their right to exist, they sure as fuck try their best to disprove they have that right at all. nazi germany didn’t have a right to exist.
They opened fire on French forces too in Lebanon.
It’s getting fucking spicy and real weird that European Jewish refugees are building their own Auschwitz next door.
Israel is literally kidnapping, raping, and assaulting civilians. by the thousands as they attempt to surrender. Beating them until they either agree they are Hamas or die, and then killing them anyway.
I get why the US government is down with that, many of our politicians are old people that love rape and genocide especially via proxy, since they can’t do it themselves anymore. It’s just really annoying that the same people ranting about wanting to protect women have spent the most money and time getting them tortured, raped, and killed.
God damn. If there’s a god, just wait.
Safely presuming there isn’t, these assholes gotta get found and destroyed just like people have done with former nazi commanders and stuff.
Have you ever given consideration to the fact that there may be a God… but they are malevolent, not benevolent?
Fucking hell… I mean how many blatant war crimes does Israel need to commit before countries start condemning them. Goddammit, seriously
The US is the behind this 100% we don’t even have a ballot option against it
We give them the weapons to do it, then drive aid trucks through their territory in a token effort to help the Gazans, it’s goddamn shameful.
I realize that’s what it was at face value but the reality worth keeping in mind is that one side would have likely been more open to continued pressure to shift stances after the election, but felt like they had to say certain things publicly prior to the election because this country spent the past 30+ years ejecting anyone that didn’t fully back Israel.
People only started caring enough to make this an issue within the past year. I’m not trying to shift blame or apologize for the system, but in what world can that sort of political entrenchment combined with the drawn out multi year election cycle be completely undone within a single election year?
This was all set in motion in 2016 and whats happening now is just that boulder coming to rest. Entire generations have been born and died (and/or murdered) in this prison.
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
They were the only side concerned with ever having to win an election again. I don’t think the literal insurrectionist side is concerned with public opinion that disagrees with them.
Plus, Trump is supporting Israel wiping Palestinians off the map (he literally made that video about turning it into a resort), and will probably support Israel if they try to start consuming Lebanon and Syria (which they already have been for a really long time in case you didn’t know). You realize if they cease to exist, there’s a literally 0 chance things get any better.
I didn’t say it would be a magical fix, I was just saying relatively speaking. Also sometimes shit takes time, I’ve had to wait 14 years to watch Syria finally rid itself of that asswipe bashar. Anything above zero is better than zero. Having to make that choice is why I was born here and not in another country you might be able to take a guess at.
In fact I watched the entire Arab Spring unfold (on Aljazeera where they actually covered it) and saw the same people now on the side of ending the Palestinian genocide, be against Obama helping intervene in support of the oppressed people of those countries who were getting massacred by western weapons used by their fucked up genocidal leaders, while said people were literally begging us for help. I watched France be the one to take the lead and say they would establish the No Fly Zone if the US didn’t, when the hand wringing was going on for weeks and the rebels taking a heavy price for that delay, only afterwards would the US and other countries step in to finally help. Even then there was a ton of shit from the side “looking out” for arabs today and I took note of the utter lack of humanity in the words I heard being spoke, despite how polite and pleasant they were made to sound.
After Libya, there was no political will left to help in Syria, and the Syrian situation was just a bit too “messy” to get involved with, so the result was basically “fuck em”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad people care enough to protest in the street about this shit finally, and I don’t want to shut you down with the arab card or anything, just for real, I grew up with stories about this as a child. It fucking sucks but I can be realistic enough to know entrenched career politicians who’ve had to survive the “cant disagree with Israel” political purge that was basically ongoing until 2023, are going to turn on a dime in the last quarter of an election cycle. I’m down with all the change/improving the fucked up political system (assuming that’s even an option anymore) but that hasn’t happened yet, this was the old system, and it works a certain way or it doesn’t work at all.
But I’m also not cynical enough to say the two options were in any way equal.
So your answer to my question “what made you think there was any chance Harris would stop arming this genocide” is vibes
You read between the lines and imagined some good intent on her part that wasn’t there, it was just in your mind
You are a privileged and racist piece of shit. They literally said and defended the US funding and arming Israel.
The fuck did this come from?
Trump is literally trying to turn Palestine into a fucking resort and somehow I’m fucking racist for thinking maybe the side that wanted to keep the fucking elections intact might have a slightly better chance of not wanting to wipe out every last fucking Arab life?
How are you not the racist fucked up piece of shit for caring so little about Arab lives that you clearly cant see the value in even the possibility that one less Arab fucking dies because of this. How are you not the racist fucked up piece of shit for clearly not giving a flying fuck if my home and my people are literally fucking swallowed alive and ceases to exist?
kol khara
Fuck you, no they wouldnt have you racist piece of shit. They literally said they will keep funding Israel.
And Republicans keep trying to convince us the Israeli government is the good guys. >.>
Please don’t act like it’s just republicans.
crazy that everyone came after Rashida Talib for speaking the truth that most US politicians are more loyal to israel than their constituents.
the thing is we’ll never move the republican party off their pro-israel spot except through weaponizing anti-semitism, which will do no one any good. in our two party political system our best bet is to cordon republicans away from power and to shift democrats left through quite frankly desperate maneuvers. additiunally, we must develop parallel structures of power to protect ourselves. these parrallel structures of power is what the establishment fears most, which is why they’re so quick to label us terrorists

Because being against genocide is a single issue voter thing, somehow? I guess being against ethnic cleansing means you’re actually Unamerican.
Democrats are not the answer. If you all don’t figure out soon that democrats are poison and we have got to create a new group. This is holding us back. Will it take a devastating loss for you to get it?
you are conflating anti-semitism with anti-israel and anti-zionism, many Jews are against the Likud genocide, many Isreali’s are not
no i am not conflating these things. i myself am jewish and am anti-zionist. when i say the only way to get the republicans to move off their spot is to embrace anti-semitism, i say that because the right wing of america hates jews. they want to deport us to israel. they support the genocide because it gives them a place to ship us eventually. so it could be possible to get their base to hate republicans for giving weapons to jews. but that would be lending legitimacy to just shifting where the genocide is. it’s a dangerous game to play and we shouldn’t play it. a far better strategy is to, as i said, cordon republicans away from power, desperately try to shift the democrats left, and create parallel structures of power. the aim of these actions is to create an environment where our voices for liberation, be those voices Palestinian, Black, Ukrainian, Jewish, Asian, or Queer, can be heard and listened to.
as someone from the south, “right wing of america hates jews”, I disagree with. Most southerners dont even know a single jewish person or have any reason to wish them ill will as long as a they are white.
The billionaire zionists wave the anti-semitism flag anytime they dont like a democrat, ADL is essentially an arm of the Liqud gov at this point, they dont care if you seig hiel, pal around with German nazi’s, just as long as you dont mention that Israel is daily committing some of the worst atrocities happening on the planet Earth right now.
Kind of unrelated but where do you get your point about republicans wanting to deport Jews to Israel? I’ve never thought about it that way. I thought (in very basic terms) both democrats and republicans supported Israel because it’s a strategic location in the middle east and it’s profitable.
it’s the christofascist goal to return the jews to israel so that all the aspects of revelations can come to pass
And the Democrat leader Schumer says his job is to keep the left pro-Israel, there is no redeemable politician in power here. If we had real justice they would all be hanged for supporting genocide.
That’s because Schumer is a Nazi collaborator.
