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.
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…
Behold, the apex of humanity. God help us.
And Republicans keep trying to convince us the Israeli government is the good guys. >.>
Please don’t act like it’s just republicans.
Please don’t act like it’s just USAmericans.
When I worked in a restaurant - and this was near 20 years ago, at the tail end they had us sign some condition of employment and that added a clause that we weren’t to boycott Israel as employees. A restaurant in America.
So, how many of you work for companies that have this exact thing? I quit working for others over twelve years so because of shit like this. If you work for a major corp 99% of you likely signed an anti Israel boycott in your hiring forms and you don’t even know it.
Let that simmer a bit then figure out what you need to do because these companies can’t run without employees. They need employees more than customers.
This started under Biden, and centrist democrats gleefully shouted down progressives sounding the alarm like good little fascism apologists. It is much worse under the Trump regime, but you are 1000% right.
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
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.
They may have never met a Jew in their life, that doesn’t stop them from hating us. I’m Jewish and went to college in the south. When they found out I was Jewish (I declined one too many Bible studies I guess), I was targeted for conversion almost constantly. It was a nightmare. I was also pepper sprayed by a Neo Nazi in Southern VA. Trust me, they hate us plenty.
interesting. i’m also from the south and there are multiple far right anti-semitic groups i have to think about like Atomwaffen SS, the KKK, Patriot Front, the Proud Boys, several militias whose names i don’t know, but i know where their training facilities are
they are not anti-semitic at their base, KKK is about skin color and was born from the confederate south and that was born out of racial dominance and idiocy, but not jewish hatred. The KKK is just an mlm for racists and has largely all its been throughout its history.
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
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?
They explicitly said to build dual power. Or do you believe you can vote your way out of this?
i know they’re not. the parallel structures of power is the most important part
crazy that everyone came after Rashida Talib for speaking the truth that most US politicians are more loyal to israel than their constituents.
Because being against genocide is a single issue voter thing, somehow? I guess being against ethnic cleansing means you’re actually Unamerican.
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.
… Fucking hell. What is wrong with Israel.
Far right wing government, a president (PM in their case) that has multiple credible cases of corruption against him and is holding onto power desperately to try to avoid prosecution.
Sound familiar?
Jews are literal Nazis. How morbidly oxymoronic.
Zionists are nazis. There are plenty of Zionists that aren’t jewish and plenty of Jews who aren’t Zionists.
plenty of Zionists that aren’t jewish
Press x for doubt LOL. At minimum they use the religion as a tool for their genocide zionism slop. Zionism is inherently foundationally religious or religion inspired, so this argument is silly.
Lol no, most Israelis are Zionists because the obviously support the general idea of an Israeli state despite the current fascist government.
Not all Jews are Israeli, and conflating the two groups only helps Israel and their propaganda. But these killings are indeed some fucked up Nazi shit.
You think I dont know that? Everyone knows that. Doesn’t change a thing.
The Israelis who are enacting policy, making decisions, pulling the trigger, and burying bodies are jewish. That’s why I said oxymoronic. That’s the point I was making, and you know it.
Edit: also, I didn’t say all jews are nazis obviously.
No. We don’t know it, because the words you used don’t mean what you think they mean.
The sentence you were looking for, would have been “Jews who are literal nazis”.
The sentence you wrote refers to all jews, and deserves the downvotes it is getting.

Israel is run by fascists. Most Jews are not fascists. But these fascists would love for you to conflate them with “Jews” in general so they can accuse you of antisemitism. Don’t fall for it.
The ones who are doing this are jewish, full stop. Small minority are zionists, obviously. My comment was simple and accurate, it’s oxymoronic.
Coincidentally, these zionists (devoutly religious) think they’re “the chosen people” by god. The nazis though something similar with all that aryan race nonsense.
Again, it’s comically oxymoronic, if it wasn’t so horrifying and full of death.
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.
utterly horrific, genocidal, warcrimes
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.
Just fucking Nuke Israel already!
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.
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”.
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
I’ll never get enough of saying it: this is happening with the help and support of your government
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.
read the room, trying to whitewash a genocidal entity is weird and disturbing.
Jesus fucking christ this is some evil shit.
