#Gaza medic deaths just the latest in Israel’s long history of changing its story over civilian killings

"Often, at first, the IDF denies involvement. Sometimes – in the context of Gaza – it suggests one of Hamas’s own rockets fell short, causing the casualties.

Otherwise, it might allege that those killed were either combatants themselves, or collateral damage from the targeting of combatants.
If some have identified a pattern of obfuscation over the years, there is also a suspicion that it is in service of a wider aim: muddying the waters when an investigation is launched.

And when the #IDF does launch an investigation the results are often opaque and seldom lead to the most serious charges.

According to analysis conducted by Israeli human rights organisation, Yesh Din, published last year, the mechanism set up by the IDF’s general staff to investigate potential #warcrimes is designed to avoid responsibility while giving the impression that a process is taking place.

... “at least 664 complaints were transferred … for review.”

Of that, the organisation says, “542 (81.6%) incidents were closed without a criminal investigation, with “just 41 incidents (6%)” leading to a criminal investigation."

– "The Israeli occupation continues its assault on Jenin City and its refugee camp for the 77th consecutive day, as raids expand across towns in the governorate."

– "Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the start of the third phase of the military’s plan targeting refugee camps, particularly #Jenin Camp. This phase includes road expansion and the establishment of permanent army outposts within the camp."

– "The humanitarian situation of the 21,000 displaced residents continues to deteriorate, as the aggression persists and thousands lose their jobs and sources of income under the ongoing siege of Jenin."

– "Around 600 homes have been completely destroyed in Jenin Camp, while 3,250 housing units have been rendered uninhabitable due to destruction and arson during the ongoing assault. In addition, widespread damage has affected roads and critical infrastructure."

Quoting an anonymous commenter:

Israel is now fully controlled by the fascist right. Under its leadership, the state commits daily acts of mass killing that would not shame even the Nazis. Since October 7, Illouz, who has had access to all public platforms for years, has done nothing to stand against fascism and alongside its Palestinian and Jewish victims. On the contrary. She used her public position to voice her lament of "disillusionment." And even when the air came out of this inflated balloon, and the blood of tens of thousands of murdered Palestinians continued to cry out from the ground, Illouz paid no attention to it and continued to play the victim under the new patriotic cloak she had adopted.

If Eva Illouz had received the prize from the state, it would have been an indelible mark of disgrace. But as luck would have it, sweetness came from bitterness. The "Minister of Education" - a pathetic figure like no other who, if he weren't also dangerous, one could say isn't worth spitting on - found a flaw in her candidacy and provided her with an opportunity for a comeback. Now she is suddenly a human and civil rights fighter, a representative of light standing against the forces of darkness.

There is no reason to embrace Prof. Illouz now. In the most difficult hour, when it was necessary to be "a woman" "in a place where there are no people," or at least try to be, she proved that she has no moral or intellectual backbone.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wenn man denkt, die Nachricht ist schon entsetzlich genug, kommen noch mehr unglaubliche Details ans Licht, siehe dieser Artikel im #guardian

Deutsche Staatsräson sollte es sein, die Menschenwürde zu schützen und Kriegsverbrechen - von wem auch immer verübt - anzuprangern. Punkt.

More lies from the most cowardly army in the world:

Israeli army: Jabalia strike targeted Hamas ‘command centre’
The Israeli army confirmed its attack on the #UNRWA clinic in #Jabalia saying it targeted a “command-and-control centre” for Hamas.

The Israeli army has routinely claimed its targets in #Gaza are #Hamas centres without providing proof.

At least 19 people have been killed at the medical facility – including nine children – which was housing displaced families as a result of intense Israeli bombardment that levelled houses throughout the enclave.

(Continuous thread of the mass #warcrimes against medics in #Gaza.)

On March 30, the first day of Eid al-Fitr, they went back and uncovered 14 more bodies buried in the sand in a mass grave. All of them were still dressed in their uniforms and wearing gloves. Among them were Mohammad and his colleagues Mustafa Khafaja, Ezzedine Sha’at, Saleh Moammar, Rifaat Radwan, Ashraf Abu Labda, Mohammad al-Hila, and Raed al-Sharif.

The killing of these paramedics is not an isolated incident. #Israel has been systematically targeting medical and rescue workers as part of its genocidal war – a war against life itself in Gaza. Only in Gaza, medical uniforms and ambulances do not offer protection, which international law affords. Only in Gaza, medical uniforms and ambulances can mark people as targets for execution.

Despite the Israeli army’s attempt to cover up its crime by burying it in the sand, evidence speaks for what happened. A statement released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health on March 30 said the Israeli forces carried out an execution and that some of the victims were handcuffed and had injuries to the head and chest. The chief of the #UN humanitarian affairs office in Palestine said the paramedics and first responders were killed “one by one”.

@NOSRSS Breng ook de #Palestijnse slachtoffers sinds 1947 even in kaart. Die slachtingen worden maar al te gemakkelijk vergeten zeker in de huidige omstandigheden in #Gaza. #Netanyhu is een #oorlogsmidadiger en moet opgehangen worden. #IsraelWarCrimes
