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 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.

or Kosovars from Belgrade

Again, NATO got a wonderful strategic military base and drug hub (with a bit of country around it) out of it.

or Chechens from Moscow

Anything to weaken Russia.

the pattern I find is always to support Washington DC

Almost as if the west does not actually give a shit about anyone not white? It's all divide and conquer.
