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.

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.

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?

It straight up feels like we are living in, like, the world of Final Fantasy 7. They could literally be using the souls of the dead to generate electricity as it literally kills the planet both physically and metaphysically, but only like 7 people are gonna actually be pissed and try to stop it.

Selfrighteousness would be the most likely answer

By topless, do they mean no shirt? Or no torso?

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”.

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.

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
