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.

        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.
