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.
The Democrats lost the election because they refused to condemn Israel. For once, this is actually a “both sides” problem.
People keep saying this and I apologise if this comes across as callous, but this is a very online opinion. I’ve seen no evidence whatsoever that the Palestinian genocide would even move the needle for the average American voter let alone be enough to sway the election. While I’m sure it didn’t help, the Democrats lost because they promised more of the same neoliberalism at home when many Americans desperately wanted a departure from the status quo and because there’s a depressing amount of Americans that are just straight up bigots, not because of their stance on Gaza.
I haven’t heard anything about Gaza not online. I work blue collar and am surrounded by low information/conservative people. I can’t think of any time any of them mentioned Palestine or Gaza.
Venezuela has come up far more often. Lots of racism and at my job I’m the minority being white. I’ve heard absolute crazy shit from my coworkers mouths and sometimes have walked them through their thought process and that usually ends up with them saying “when you put it like that it sounds mean”.
I don’t think many of them actually vote though. I know personally its hard for me to make it in time to vote if I don’t request off or something.
All that to say I agree. I know my little work place isn’t representative of everyone but it’s a common thread of almost everyone we hire.
Exactly.
Blind support for Israel is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is American issue, stewing for decades.
If anything, condemning Israel before manufacturing consent from American public for the same is political suicide.
And American public is fucking stupid.
i concur with your assessment. aside from a miniscule number of spiteful perpetually online leftists, there is no evidence whatsoever that gaza made an impact on large numbers of voters. whether one party represented change/disruption VS status-quo/more-of-the-same is almost certainly how typical Americans framed their decision.
You know what I want you and everyone who makes this argument to do?
Next time some pro-genocide centrist is blaming people who weren’t 100% on board with wiping out every last Palestinian in Gaza for the loss Harris earned, you make this same argument then.
Otherwise, you’re just dismissing opposition to genocide.
