The first This Writer knew of the latest Israeli atrocity in Gaza was this message on ‘X’:
Evidence of another crime: Bodies of Palestinians civilians executed by the Israeli army were found in the garbage in North Gaza blindfolded and their hands cuffed and hidden in plastic bags.

Some commentators tried to dismiss the claim as the ravings of a pro-Palestine propagandist – but it was not wrong, as the first few seconds of this Turkish news report make clear:
Here are the details in written form, along with video of the bodies (wrapped in rubbish bags) being unearthed:
A horrific crime..
30 bodies were found inside the Khalifa Bin Zayed School in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, after Israeli army withdrawal. The bodies were found buried under the sand in plastic body bags with Hebrew words typed on tags. #GazaGeniocide pic.twitter.com/QiAVtBFe36

This is horrifying.
The two people they identify here are apparently a husband and wife pair: Abu & Umm Srour. https://t.co/ZyxVg6rg9C

This is a terrible atrocity.
Not only is it a war crime to execute any civilian non-combatants at all, let alone in large numbers, but it is also a crime to hide what was done by burying the bodies in mass graves.
It is also a huge mark of disrespect for the religion to whom the deceased belonged; according to their beliefs, they need to be buried in a very particular way, at a particular time.
I also hope the bodies are being checked to ensure that no organs are missing.
Furthermore, the discovery invites comparison with another organisation that executed people and dumped them in mass graves: the Nazis, in World War II.
Even worse, many victims of the Nazi Holocaust were buried in mass graves.
These Israelis are plumbing new depths of depravity.
It has been claimed that comparing Jews with the Nazis is the height of anti-Semitism – and that may be true when such a comparison is false.
When the comparison is accurate, on the other hand, it indicates a level of insult not only to the rest of the world but to their own fellow Jews – by these Israeli armed forces – that is breathtaking in its scope.
Incidentally…
I can find no mention of this Israeli atrocity on any of the UK’s mass media news sites. Has it been censored – to stop us from drawing the logical conclusions and comparisons that I have?
