I'm going to wait till more comes out. For me, the question becomes, who is more likely to have filled a mass grave with hospital patients? The IDF who were briefly in the hospital and accounted for all the "terrorists" they killed during the raid and let the hospital continue to operate afterwards with no reports of mass executions? Or the Gazans who ran the hospital for months, lacked the supplies to save those injured during the constant attacks, and lacked the infrastructure to properly dispose of bodies?

I'm not saying it couldn't have been the IDF, we've literally seen videos of them running over and burying bodies with a bulldozer. I'm just saying given the context, it looks more like the sad reality of what happens when a hospital has a high amount of casualties and dead bodies brought to it and lacks the resources to properly identify or store them.

They had their hands tied behind their backs. Does that sound like a hospital patient to you?

That would still make those deaths Israel's responsibility.

They have found many bodies wrapped in plastic, contrary to any normal practice, sometimes with medical devices like catheters still attached. Some people may have been buried alive.

Hi, I actually posted an article from Mondoweiss, but it was taken down for "not being a credible source".

I think if you read the families reactions from there you will be able of answering your own questions.

They quote families looking for disappeared babies for long time, finding them on the bad, and also people tied via their hands on their backs inside bags, eyes blinded.

I don't believe the population would take people with their hands tied and eyes blinded in such a dehumanizing way and put them inside bags.

Here is it:

I'm interested in hearing how the articles answers your questions.

Thanks

Israel already proudly said they basically dug up buried bodies and did DNA tests to see if any were hostages. I’m not sure it’s in question that it was a mass grave used by the IDF to discard Palestinian bodies.

Mate stop using logic and thinking for yourself believe the narrative or fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I believe the words of the dozens of doctors and independent aid workers, the footage of atrocities, the long history of atrocities, more than the words of the people killing them (IDF propaganda). It's not like this is the 1700s and there are no photos or direct evidence.

Nah, they need to start using logic and thinking for themselves, rather than just mindlessly accepting the zionist media narratives.
