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.
What puzzles me is not US, the lobbies are very strong and the media gets funded by well know institutions… but why the EU? Why Japan? Why even the UK since financial contribution is capped… how virtually every single one leader is blind or worse? Even calling for an investigation is outrageous for them!!!
Because white supremacy/Islamophobia.
They literally parrot the same rethoric that Israel is a last bastion of blonde hair blue eyed ubermensch in a sea of brown skinned heretics.
The country that committed the most atrocities during WWII and who the US refused to let the rest of the world punish (sound familiar?) is a fan of ethnic cleansing? The one that refuses to teach about the r*pe of Nanjing in school and spins it as self defense against the barbaric Chinese scum? I’m shocked.
The country that colonized the majority of the world and whose wealth and power is built on the corpses of the Indigenous peoples they genocided?! The one that started the State of Israel in the first place?!?! Well I never!
I don’t think is that… the EU happily come to “rescue” Uyghurs from Beijing, or Kosovars from Belgrade, or Chechens from Moscow… the pattern I find is always to support Washington DC. For sure, you have much more chances of success by standing with the US (till now at least), but tens and tens of countries… that is not a normal statistical curve! And Corbin’s expulsion doubt US had anything to do with it.
One thing you said lighted my mind though, countries that committed genocide are very into Israel today though… well, no Belgium though… it is complicated I guess, not a normal curve though.
Politcal expedience, that smear campaign was effective in the west against China. There never was a any sort of genocide there.
Again, NATO got a wonderful strategic military base and drug hub (with a bit of country around it) out of it.
Anything to weaken Russia.
Almost as if the west does not actually give a shit about anyone not white? It’s all divide and conquer.
Israel has extremely strong lobbies in many European countries as well. They ousted Corbyn for being anti Israel, so it is safe to say Israel fully controls the UK. The UK also originally colonized Palestine and gave it to the Zionists.
Japan mostly because it is heavily reliant on the US and their population cares little about brown people getting massacared at the other side of the globe.
I get in on UK now… Japan… gosh, I hope not but I am very afraid that is the underlying truth.
After WW2 the US practically took over Japan. Japan is extremely subservient to the US.
Now that China is surpassing over the Japanese manufacturing industry including cars, Japan is in especially dire straits. Their only advantage is their good standing with the US. Japan also has a large amount of US military bases.
Because for these places it’s about more than just the money. They have an ideological position that drives their choices. They are convinced that Israel will allow them all to keep regional solidarity down, and ensure the region never coalesces into a region bound by common goals, self-determination, and mutual defense. Should it become a Europe type entity, representing middle eastern interests collectively, it will become considerably harder to exploit.
