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.

But their shills in the West will make sure that if you raise your voice, depending on your legal status, you will be slandered, roughed up by police, have your degree revoked, snatched up from your family or in the middle of the street, and deported.

And they will use the charge of antisemitism as a cudgel, all the while playing into all the worst antisemitic tropes and preparing the ground for the next round of actual antisemitic violence.

Zionism hurts Palestinians first, people who stand up for humanity second, all Jews third. It's a shit ideology.

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.

utterly horrific, genocidal, warcrimes

We're well past genocide and into Holocaust now.

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.

Here is some of the footage of the digging up of the bodies for those who want video evidence:

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.

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?

People are foolish to think god cares. God caring is the equivalent of a child in a sand box playing with his army soldiers. Actually the child likely cares about his army men more than a god would.
