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.

      Are all nations helping Israel? That seems unlikely.

    IDF is war crime organization. Just like Hamas but on the other side. Just like not all Germans were Nazi, I am sure that not all Isrealis are IDF.

      It’s not the United Russia invasion, Likud genocide, or Republican aggression.

      It’s Russian, Israeli, and American.

      That’s the stage, that’s the lens, that’s the demarcation of responsibility and blame between citizens of one country and another.

        Collective responsibility and punishment is mother of all war atrocities. Just like not all Palestinians are Hamas (war criminals, terrorists), I am sure that not all Isrealis are Likud/IDF. Isreal’s role in this genocide is clear. Isreal as a country made terrible war crimes. But countries are not making anything, pepople do.

    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”.

    If the IDF scum are ever held to account, the decent people of the world should next go after their own leaders for blindly supporting these atrocities and not stopping them earlier. The genocide of the Palestinians is a blight on many western so-called liberal democracies.

      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.

            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.

          Exactly, anyone with two braincells realizes the implications.

          Do you go in blazing, making it clear you’re trying to minimize collateral damage and treat people with respect while getting the job done?

          Or do you go in blazing, setting people’s houses on fire and killing medics?

      Isn’t it far* older than that? Didn’t Israel commit the main genocide in the Old Testament? Religious people tell me that’s a historical document.

      To me, this same holy war has been raging for millennia and I really wish we’d outgrow it.

        I don’t think it’s fair to tie history that far back to current people. Maybe it’s context for what’s going on now, idk, but it’s wrong to point to it as some sort of gotcha.

        There’s more than enough damning history just looking back one week.

          It wasn’t meant as a gotcha, just an observation that they didn’t learn from the Nazis, near the same holy war has been going for a really long time with a few names changing, and it’s tiresome.

            This is a misunderstanding of how modern Israel got to its current state.

            There were Jews in Palestine before the state of Israel was established.

            The issue isn’t some ancient conflict, it’s that without working with the natives of the region, the British government and UN unilaterally declared that they were making a colonialist ethnostate and took land from the native population for that purpose.

            This isn’t some biblical tale as old as time. The region was (relatively) peaceful.

            It’s very similar the gigantic fuck up of the India Pakistan split based on religion.

            As it turns out, religious ethnostates established by the displacement of natives creates a huge cluster fuck.

            And even with all that, things are as bad as they are today because over the last 3 decades Israel has used every conflict as a tool to militarize and isolate Palestinians.

            Palestinians aren’t blameless, but they’ve been blamed enough for the problems of Israel. Much like the IRA’s bombings were uncalled for, that doesn’t mean Britain wasn’t to blame for a lot of the problems of Ireland.

    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

    Just when one thinks IDF has reached rock bottom depravity, some war criminal finds a way to go deeper.

    I hope the pepetrators (and if a command was given, their commanders, and if directions were given, the political leaders) are held responsible.

    It will take a lot of time and maneuvering. Politically, Israel must lose status and become considerably weaker before justice can occur. Meanwhile, the ICC must gain status and become considerably more influential. Then…
