The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

Damn. Even the Jerusalem Post is disturbed by this.

But the IDF's explanation for the ambush already has problems. Initially, the military claimed that the ambulances' lights were off, but in fact, at least some of the ambulances' lights were on, though possibly the first ambulance had its lights off.

Also, despite initial IDF claims, the ambulances were properly labeled as Red Cross.

After killing the Red Cross workers, the IDF still believed them to be Hamas based on examining six of the bodies, though the military's explanation of what about the aid workers made them seem like Hamas forces was unclear.

[The IDF] buried the bodies to protect them from damage during any expected new fight, according to the narrative.

...

The Jerusalem Post was not provided with other cases in which the IDF used such a procedure to leave bodies of aid workers for the UN.

Anyone think this will stop? I don't. I think that the Rubicon wasn't just passed, it was flatted and erased from existence.

We're a failed species on our way out. Good riddance.

Anyone think this will stop?

When you look back into history of the countries that boast "western values" and "human rights", and see they're just war machines that benefitted of the wars in the past to reach to a point of "moral superiority" after ravaging and looting others to be self sufficient, you begin to understand no one capable of stopping it cares.
