Victims In Gaza Mass Grave Were "Stripped Naked With Their Hands Tied."

A total of 283 bodies were recovered at Nasser Hospital, of which 42 were identified.

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

“Reports suggest that there were 30 Palestinian bodies buried in two graves in the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City; one in front of the emergency building and the others in front of the dialysis building,” Ms. Shamdasani told journalists in Geneva.

“There are reports that the hands of some of these bodies were also tied,” Ms. Shamdasani said, adding that there could be “many more” victims, “despite the claim by the Israeli Defense Forces to have killed 200 Palestinians during the Al-Shifa medical complex operation”.

What emotions or thoughts does the thought of victims being stripped and tied invoke in you, especially considering some were elderly or wounded?

 @9LRF8NR from Ohio answered…1wk1W

That is so wrong. That shouldn't happen to anyone.

 @9LRF3BJ from Georgia answered…1wk1W

That they should probably not do that since that is inhumane.

Sounds like what Hamas did to Jews in southern Israel on 10/7.

 @ShadsRaySocialist from Michigan disagreed…1wk1W

What was the IDF doing when this was happening 40 minutes away from Tel Aviv?

Weird there’s no drone footage of this stuff or anything

If these were hundreds of white Jewish bodies in mass graves would it be disturbing? Of would it be the most barbaric and hideous atrocity ever committed?

 @GnuDonnyGreen from Texas agreed…1wk1W

Funny, Biden can denounce students in the US, but not a word about mass graves.

 @PragmaticBurritosPatriot from Illinois commented…1wk1W

How do they know the victims were Palestinian and not former hostages of Hamas?

 @EuphoricJ0intResolutionWorking Family from Pennsylvania commented…1wk1W

This is why Israel and the US refuse to allow international press into Gaza. They want to be able to say it was not true.

US mainstream media is barely paying attention. Mass graves are not news worthy unlike the "unsafe" and discomfort few students feel in response to peaceful protests on our campuses.

Considering such information, how important do you believe it is for international bodies and communities to intervene or respond to these situations?

 @9LRCMLGWomen’s Equality from Texas answered…1wk1W

The concept of the international community's responsibility to act in the face of the gravest human rights violations while respecting the sovereignty of states has been a subject of extensive discussion and deliberation.

In reflecting on this incident, how does it shape or challenge your views on the humanity or inhumanity of conflict?

 @9LRBX4P from California commented…1wk1W

i find it inhumane that the US government isn’t doing anything to support the people in Gaza as they are victims of ethnic cleansing.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

Why do you think some people's first reaction might be to seek justification for these actions, and is that a response you share or disagree with?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

How do you feel about the dignity and rights of individuals in conflict situations when you hear they were treated in such a way?
