Israeli forces are accused of executing 15 first responders who were found buried under their crushed ambulances

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.

    they set up a Jewish state because european countries didn’t want to accept Jewish migrants. they used the holy land as an excuse to tell Jewish people to fuck off to Palestine where they can replace some brown people rather than bother white christians.

    again, if the problem was really the religion it would be there before the establishment of the Israeli state. I’m telling you that the religions of both peoples were constant while the political move was the variable that changed. that’s how you find causes, however much you’d like to chalk this up to religion bad.

    I hear the same shit from people who blame Iran’s situation on their religion when again it was clearly the very blatant meddling of colonial forces. they had the same religion before and after the revolution. the thing that changed was the US replacing a democratically elected head of state with a stooge. people love to cover for the atrocities of western powers by pretending it’s all about religious disputes.

      Why does Israel decry it’s criticism of the genocide as anti-semitism if it has nothing to do with it’s religion? Israelis do use Judaism as a justification for their actions, is that not in doubt? Whatever happened in the past has no bearing on the immense suffering caused by a flag that symbolizes Judaism right now.

        already addressed:

        the way Israel insists that they represent jews and Judaism breeds antisemitism. which is what they want by the way. jews experiencing antisemitism around the world gives them more potential colonizing power.

        never heard of propaganda I guess. maybe look it up. so this is what you do, take fascists at their word, is that it?

        i wonder what nazis thought about criticisms of nazi germany. I bet they had some correct assessments.

        dude not gonna lie, when I first started arguing against your shit I thought it was just a neckbeard atheist thing, but at this point I think you’re just desperate to justify antisemitism.

        not interested in arguing with bigots. especially since you’re running in circles now.

          Reading the thread that’s my take as well. It very much reads like he’s soft peddling neonazi bullshit.
