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.

I'm not against Jews, I'm against Israel. It appears that the lesson they learned from the Nazis is how to commit atrocities.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 100 points 1 week ago (7 children)

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.

You cannot expect atrocities to lead to anything good. We see it in gaza right now, the ongoing genocide will breed more terrorists and more conflicts.

And Republicans keep trying to convince us the Israeli government is the good guys. >.>

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 133 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Please don't act like it's just republicans.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 71 points 1 week ago (13 children)

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

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?

This started under Biden, and centrist democrats gleefully shouted down progressives sounding the alarm like the good little fascism apologists that US centrists are. It is now much worse under the Trump regime, but you are 1000% right.

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.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

That's because Schumer is a Nazi collaborator.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The Democrats lost the election because they refused to condemn Israel. For once, this is actually a "both sides" problem.

for a country that loves to talk about their right to exist, they sure as fuck try their best to disprove they have that right at all. nazi germany didn't have a right to exist.

[–] ganbramor@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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”.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Theres an active ongoing genocide happening and you are talking about ebb and flow? What the actual fuck. Fuck off. Use your words and voice to speak out against it not defend it you privileged fucking asshole.

They opened fire on French forces too in Lebanon.

It’s getting fucking spicy and real weird that European Jewish refugees are building their own Auschwitz next door.

I'll never get enough of saying it: this is happening with the help and support of your government

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...
