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.

The Guardian · Palestinian paramedics shot by Israeli forces had hands tied, witnesses sayBy Lorenzo Tondo

Continued thread

At this point I'm starting to believe the primary purpose of the sham ceasefire in Gaza, broken by Israel to continue a US-backed genocide of Palestinian people, was to allow US corporate media to catch its breath and reset to a position of trying very hard to ignore blatant war crimes against clearly innocent Palestinians. A United Nations investigation has revealed that the IDF executed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including a UN employee, in March 23rd; then tried to bury the evidence, including crushed ambulances, to hide this crime against humanity. Details of the murders make it clear that this activity was deliberate, and yet the portions of the mainstream western media that remain firmly pro-genocide have hardly registered any sort of outcry or calls for action.

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN

“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.

“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said that one of its employees was among the dead found in Rafah."

As an American, please let me once again remind you that none of these atrocities would be happening without US financial, material, and diplomatic support. We're subsidizing the Israeli government, we're shipping the IDF the bombs and weapons being used to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza, and it is by US diplomatic force that Western support for Israel even as it commits a genocide, remains strong, if somewhat less overt than it was at the start of this genocide. Trump (and Biden before him) could end this inhuman slaughter today if he wanted to; he just doesn't want to because killing brown people and taking their resources (beachfront property and natural gas, in this case) is a important business activity for the entire Pig Empire.

In an environment where the media is actively cultivating a numb complicity, and western states are either ignoring the massacres, or as in the Trump regime's case, openly celebrating them, it behooves all of us in the so-called West to reject these attempts to rewind time and protect the genocide. In the months leading up to the ceasefire, Western political leaders and media were on the backfoot as independent media, folks with Tik Tok accounts, protestors, and even everyday people refused to accept the complicity of silence and demanded action. This "reset" must not be allowed to continue while Palestinians in Gaza are murdered with impunity and the complicity of the larger Pig Empire; as noted by Ahmed Moor writing in the Guardian - which is sadly where I have to get my mainstream news about a US-enabled and supported genocide the Trump administration is happily paying for, because US media outlets are still trying to pretend none of this is real:

Israel executes unarmed Red Crescent paramedics with the west’s blessing

"Nor will global leaders intervene to end the mass murder which has been punctuated by this latest obscenity. Some of them – such as Emmanuel Macron, who called for a ceasefire, might appear to want to end the slaughter. After all, dead babies in incubators and paramedics in a mass grave are unpleasant garlands to wear. But 18 months in, they are too deeply implicated. Who can forget Ursula von der Leyen’s embrace of Netanyahu? Or Keir Starmer’s affirmation of Israel’s “right” to starve Palestinians in Gaza?

Today, those who are tasked with upholding international law have been co-opted by the Israeli leadership, whether they like it or not. The logic of gangland drug dealers and criminals – new members commit crimes to join, and are locked in – prevails.

So far from being complicit, US and European leaders are the authors of this latest atrocity by their Israeli colleagues in Gaza."

mille morti in due settimane. nella striscia di gaza, israele bombarda, sfolla, e prende di mira gli operatori sanitari

Martina Stefanoni
da Radio Popolare

In nemmeno due settimane di ripresa dei bombardamenti israeliani sulla striscia di Gaza, sono state uccise mille persone. I bombardamenti sono stati costanti e inarrestabili, proseguiti anche durante l’Eid al-Fitr, la festa per la fine del mese del Ramadan, una delle feste più importante e sentite per il mondo islamico.
Oggi, l’esercito israeliano va oltre, ordinando l’evacuazione della città di Rafah, nel sud della striscia di Gaza. Decine di migliaia di persone, per l’ennesima volta, hanno raccolto il poco che avevano, e a piedi o a bordo di mezzi di fortuna, hanno lasciato Rafah. Una città che durante i mesi di guerra è stata completamente rasa al suolo. Alla popolazione che durante il cessate il fuoco aveva provato a ristabilirsi lì, o che si trovavano lì nella speranza di passare il confine con l’Egitto nelle rare evacuazioni concesse, è stato ordinato di spostarsi ad Al Mawasi, una zona costiera che già era stata identificata come “zona umanitaria” dall’esercito israeliano, ma che è stata più e più volte bombardata. Al Mawasi è anche la zona dove secondo il piano israeliano per la rioccupazione di Gaza che era stato rivelato dal Financial Times negli scorsi giorni sarebbero stati confinati tutti i 2 milioni di Gazawi, prima di procedere all’espulsione.
In questi giorni di ripresa dei bombardamenti, le ong e le agenzie onu presenti nella striscia, hanno descritto una situazione umanitaria spaventosa, aggravata dal fatto che da un mese nella striscia non entra più niente: cibo, carburante, acqua, medicinali. Gli ospedali – ha detto l’Onu – sono tornati ad essere un campo di battaglia. Oggi Jonathan Whittall, il capo dell’agenzia Onu Ocha in Palestina, è tornato a parlare dei quindici paramedici palestinesi uccisi da israele. I quindici operatori sanitari sono stati uccisi una settimana fa, ma solo in questi giorni sono stati recuperati i corpi. Secondo l’ufficio per gli affari umanitari delle Nazioni Unite la Mezzaluna Rossa Palestinese e gli operatori della protezione civile erano in missione per salvare i colleghi che erano stati colpiti in precedenza nel corso della giornata, quando i loro veicoli chiaramente contrassegnati come sanitari sono finiti sotto il pesante fuoco israeliano.
Whittall, ha detto che i paramedici sono stati colpiti e uccisi uno per uno e i loro corpi sepolti in questa fossa comune.
“Li stiamo tirando fuori con le loro uniformi, con i guanti. Erano qui per salvare vite. Invece, sono finiti in una fossa comune”, ha detto Whittall. “Queste ambulanze sono state sepolte nella sabbia”. L’esercito ha ammesso di aver colpito le ambulanze perché – hanno fatto sapere – si muovevano in modo sospetto.
Secondo le Nazioni Unite, almeno 1.060 operatori sanitari sono stati uccisi nei diciotto mesi trascorsi da quando israele ha lanciato la sua offensiva a Gaza.

⛑🏳 Absoluter Meilenstein: die vier „modernen“ Genfer Konventionen wurden heute vor 75 Jahren unterzeichnet. Die I. (Schutz im Landkrieg), II. (Schutz im Seekrieg) und III. (Schutz von Kriegsgefangenen) wurde aufgrund der Erfahrungen des 2. Weltkriegs durch eine IV. (Schutz von Zivilpersonen) ergänzt. Wichtig aber: die „alten“ Abkommen blieben in Kraft, so dass Staaten, die zwar den alten, aber nicht den neuen Abkommen beigetreten waren, weiterhin gebunden blieben. Wie wichtig das war, zeigte sich nach 1990: die wieder souverän gewordenen Staaten, die zwar früher den alten Abkommen beigetreten, 1949 aber bereits von der Sowjetunion okkupiert waren, konnten nahtlos an ihren alten völkerrechtlichen Status anschließen, bevor sie dann den neuen Abkommen beigetreten sind. Heute gehören alle Staaten weltweit den Genfer Abkommen an, die Konventionen gelten inzwischen sogar auch als sog. „Völkergewohnheitsrecht“.

"Diese Konventionen sind das Herzstück des humanitären Völkerrechts und repräsentieren unsere tiefsten menschlichen Werte", sagt der Vizepräsident unseres Partnerlandesverbandes Bayerisches Rotes Kreuz, Andreas Krahl.

Among all the tragic stories about the #IDF's #warcrimes in #Gaza, 6-year-old #HindRajab's story is especially powerful.

- #Israeli tanks killed her family in the car, she survived & called for help
- #IDF approved #RedCrescent to go get her
- Tanks then murdered all the aid workers, & she died

Independent experts conclude this was no mistake.

#Israel continue to brazenly lie about it. "There were no tanks nearby", "Red crescent ghosted us".

Es war der 24. Juni 1859. Genau in diesen Stunden traf Henry Dunant in Castiglione delle Stiviere ein. Vor ihm die Qual der Verwundeten, die, nachdem sie die Schlacht überlebt hatten, die Stadt erreichten und eine Blutspur auf den Straßen hinterließen. Er war beeindruckt von den Schrecken des Krieges: zerschmetterte Schädel, amputierte Gliedmaßen, zerrissene Bäuche; Er sah, wie so viele Soldaten starben. Er kümmerte sich um viele Verletzte, tröstete die Sterbenden und versprach, ihren Familien ihre letzten Wünsche zu erfüllen. Er war beeindruckt von der Desorganisation der Hilfsmaßnahmen und dachte in den folgenden Tagen darüber nach, wie viele Leben hätten gerettet werden können, wenn die Kräfte nur gut gelenkt worden wären.
Nach einiger Zeit fasste er seine Ideen in seinem Buch „Un Souvenir de Solferino“ zusammen, das er an alle Herrscher Europas schickte. In nur vier Jahren führten seine Ideen zur Genfer Konferenz im Oktober 1863 und bildeten den Grundstein für das, was später das Rote Kreuz werden sollte.
#einRotesKreuz #RedCross #RedCrescent @drk

In zwei Tagen jährt sich die Schlacht von Solferino (24. Juni 1859) zum 165. mal. Henry Dunant hat dort gemeinsam mit den Frauen von Solferino den Verwundeten und Sterbenden beider Seiten Hilfe geleistet, was ihm dann später Anlass war, sein Buch „Eine Erinnerung an Solferino“ zu schreiben und damit den „Funken“ zu liefern, der die internationale Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmondbewegung begründet hat. Die sog. „Genfer Rotkreuz-Konventionen“, die damals initiiert worden sind, sind heute universal geltendes Völkerrecht und ein letztes Bollwerk der Menschlichkeit in bewaffneten Konflikten.
Es ist unsere gemeinsame Aufgabe, dafür zu sorgen, dass dieser Gedanke nicht verlorengeht und unparteiliche und neutrale Humanität auch in der Zukunft weiter gelebt wird.
