Israel has done it again. They are blatantly committing atrocities in their ongoing genocide of Palestinian people.
Some of the bodies of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, killed by Israeli forces and buried in a mass grave nine days ago in Gaza, were found with their hands or legs tied and had gunshot wounds to the head and chest, according to two witnesses.
The witness accounts add to an accumulating body of evidence pointing to a potentially serious war crime on 23 March, when Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance crews and civil defence rescue workers were sent to the scene of an airstrike in the early hours of the morning in the al-Hashashin district of Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city.
Paramedics and rescue workers are not terrorists, but the Israeli soldiers who gunned them down are.
No more aid or military assistance to Israel, because that would be contributing to war crimes.
Joe Biden: “If Israel did not exist we would have to invent it”
Fun fact; the last US president to even remotely play hardball with the Israeli government was Ronal Reagan.
And if you publicly call this atrocities what they are, murder, crimes against humanity and genocide, here in Germany you are treated like the second coming of Goebbels.

If you’re a non-citizen in the US, speaking out against these atrocities will get you disappeared by ICE thugs. I suppose I should be grateful it’s not happening to citizens… yet.
@ mordred, # 2: Nope. If you speak out against Israeli atrocities you’ll be called Anti Semitic.
Honesty is being muzzled. There is a huge difference between calling the Israeli government genocidal war criminals and acknowledging that there are still so many decent Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world that don’t support the genocide. There are many zealots who support the war criminal Israeli nationalist cause and call anyone who does not support the israeli genocide in gaza anti-semitic.
Its not just paramedics and rescue worker. About a year ago I watched a video feed from Gaza where a Malaysian doctor volunteering in a hospital was interviewed about her work. Her husband was working at another hospital in Gaza when news came through that his hospital had been bombed and he was killed. The doctor paused and when asked what she was going to do she said she would mourn her husband later because she had patients that needed her help. Israel is a pariah terrorist state and at a minimum needs to be cut off from the rest of the world and so do the political cowards who not only refuse to act against it they actively support it by supplying bombs to continue the genocide.
Owen Jones latest YT clip Netanyahu BRAGS About Genocide – And Our (British* – ed) Media Covers It Up (12 mins 15 secs long) is damming here.
.* But the Aussie & presume USA and “western” media in general is generally equally bad on this issue.
Bernie Sanders give s a good speech about this here – Netanyahu’s Gaza War is ‘Barbaric.’ The U.S. Must End Our Complicity (6 & a half min.) plus a couple of resolutions he’s going to put to the Senate FWIW.

Not…. quite correct. At least a few of the disappeared have been people with a) green cards, and/or b) specific status as refugees, who have, “Do not deport. Protected.”, literally in their official government status data. One of them was married to a US citizen, with a disabled kid. It would be more accurate to say that, for now, someone “born here”, or white, are not yet being deported, but I am sure that Trump is still pushing for the ability to revoke birthright citizenship, and technically that isn’t even necessary, because, as numerous people have pointed out, “If you literally never see a lawyer, judge, trial, or any other process through which you might prove you are a citizen, then there can be no proof that you are one, and they can imprison/deport you at will anyway, since no one will be able to do a damn thing to stop them, or object.”
And, of course, when/if they have to admit a mistake, their response will be, “Oopsie!”, followed by, “The people we are paying to imprison and torture them are not under our control, and we have no way to get them back.”
