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 last largest financial crises averted a system wide shutdown and created a welfare state that allowed this system to continue operating and its wealth gap ensures that there will be millions of people who will voluntarily join the military in the hopes of viable future; as is happening right now.

    it also feels like the media capture of the colonial narrative is holding strong examplified in tiktok’s ban and ukraine’s invasion. those native american pogroms were documented during their time and the people adjacently impacted, ie the mexicans, were cast aside until the memory of them only existed history books.

    i feel that capitalism learns from its mistakes and adjusts since the people who benefit from it are learning, thinking beings who want to perpetuate it for their personal gain; the only thing that can stop it is itself, once it’s inherent contradictions become too large to smooth over.

        i think that the scariest thing about all of it is that it can only collapse once there’s isn’t enough money in the world to provide the table scraps necessary to keep the pawns inline; meaning that there isn’t enough food, shelter or even drinkable water to keep them towing the line.
