Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show signs of torture and execution

the apartheid regime, so beloved by zionistas and christian fascists alike, shows it's true face

"...Many of the 90 bodies of Palestinians returned to Gaza by Israeli authorities under the ceasefire deal showed signs of torture and execution, including blindfolds, cuffed hands and bullet wounds in the head, according to doctors’ accounts.

As part of the US-brokered truce, Hamas has handed over the bodies of some of the hostages who died during the course of the war, and Israel has transferred the bodies of two groups of 45 Palestinians killed during the fighting. The exchange was carried out through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Doctors at Nasser hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which received the Palestinian bodies from the ICRC, said on Wednesday there was substantial evidence of beatings and summary executions, and that none of the bodies were identifiable.

“Almost all of them had been blindfolded, and had been bound up and they had gunshots between the eyes. Almost all of them had been executed,” said Dr Ahmed al-Farra, the head of Nasser hospital’s paediatric department.

“There were also scars and discoloured patches of skin showing they had been beaten before being killed. There were also signs that their bodies had been abused after they were killed.”

Farra added that the bodies had been handed over by the Israeli authorities with no identification, and the hospitals in Gaza, heavily bombed over the course of two years of war, had no means of doing DNA analysis.

“They know the identity of these bodies but they want the families to suffer even more about these victims,” the doctor said.

Nasser hospital authorities said the bodies, which had been kept in refrigerators in Israel, were returned with numbered labels but no names. Doctors said they were asking relatives of missing Palestinian men to help identify the bodies.

logical fallacy of shooting the messenger

you just cannot get it into your head that you might be backing the bad guys

we all know you vigourously support the killing of women and children under the bogus pretext of "israel's right to defend itself"

Kadiwala is one of dozens of American doctors and nurses who have worked in the Gaza Strip since 2023, when Israel began bombing the enclave in retaliation for the deadly Hamas attacks of Oct. 7.

The volunteers — men and women of all ages, agnostics as well as Muslims, Christians and Jews — have labored under the constant threat of violence, amid raging disease and with little access to food and medicine they need to save lives.

Many are hopeful that the new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that took effect Friday will halt the violence. But even with new aid rolling in, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza remains daunting.

With foreign journalists largely barred from Gaza and more than 200 Palestinian media workers slain by Israeli bombs and bullets, on-the-ground testimony from doctors and nurses has been critical to helping the world understand the horrors unfolding.

But bearing witness comes at a steep personal cost.

As Kadiwala drove into the enclave in a United Nations convoy late last year, he saw an endless expanse of gray rubble. Emaciated young men swarmed his vehicle. The sky buzzed with drones. Bombs sounded like rolling thunder.

[Stalin]

The two of us are humanitarian surgeons. Together, in our combined 57 years of volunteering, we’ve worked on more than 40 surgical missions in developing countries on four continents. We’re used to working in disaster and war zones, of being on intimate terms with death and carnage and despair.

None of that prepared us for what we saw in Gaza this spring.

The constant begging for money, the malnourished population, the open sewage — all of that was familiar to us as veteran war zone doctors. But add in the incredible population density, the overwhelming numbers of badly maimed children and amputees, the constant hum of drones, the smell of explosives and gunpowder — not to mention the constant earth-shaking explosions — and it’s no wonder UNICEF has declared the Gaza Strip as “the world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”

We have always gone where we were most needed. In March, it was obvious that the place was the Gaza Strip.

What nations have been recognized as having covertly supported brutalizing prisoners of war? China. Japan. Germany. Palestine. Cuba. Iraq, Iran, and many others. What nations are not commonly recognized as supporting abuse of prisoners of war? The US and Israel and possibly some others.

Both Hamas and Israel are guilty of war crimes and torture. The US is also guilty of war crimes at Abu Greib in the futile Iraq War.

Demons and devils always blame the good guys for atrocities committed by demons and devils.

There are NO "good guys" in the Gaza War.

Of course not! Again, there are no "good guys". Both sides are terrorists. But the Zionists have killed far more innocent people.

You cannot blame victims of genocidal terrorists on those fighting to put a stop to their reigns of terror.

I sure as Hell can and I sure as Hell do. Murdering 70,000 Palestinians is a worse crime than murdering 2000 Jews. The Israelis held the Gazans in a crowded open air prison for 65 years before Netanyahu was so incompetent that he failed to prevent a massacre from happening.

Of course morons blame the victims instead of blaming the savages who attacked the victims.
