the jewish monster....

For Palestinians in Gaza, there is no room for death, as there is no room for life, due to Zionist crimes and Israeli savagery, writes Refaat Ibrahim from occupied Gaza. “Many die and are turned into body parts, their limbs mixed together and lost… They transport them into Israel, subject them to examination, sometimes steal organs in certain cases, and then return them as remains of many individuals, often mixed together. Thus, these bodies bear no features, and their identities remain unknown, eventually buried in mass graves in a way that degrades human dignity and attacks it even after death…”

 

‘Many die and are turned into body parts, their limbs mixed together and lost.’ Mass graves are a violation of human dignity     By Refaat Ibrahim

 

One of the last things a person always wishes for, or perhaps their only wish after death, is to be buried in a dignified and humane way and to have a marked grave. This would allow their relatives and loved ones to visit, place flowers on their grave, and remember them always.

The right to a dignified burial is guaranteed by all human rights laws and legislation. Among these laws that ensure a person’s right to a respectful and humane burial after death are:

  • International humanitarian law, which mandates respect for the bodies of the deceased, especially during armed conflicts. It prohibits burial in mass graves except in cases of extreme necessity and requires that this be done with due regard for the dignity of the deceased.
  • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that everyone has the right to dignity, including the right to a dignified burial.
  • The Geneva Conventions, which call for the protection of civilians during armed conflicts, emphasise the need for dignified burial of bodies and prohibit mass graves unless absolutely necessary, provided that the identities of the deceased are documented.

However, the Palestinian people have been denied their rights both in life and even after death. Hundreds of Palestinian citizens in Gaza have faced random killings and genocide, buried in inhumane mass graves in violation of all human laws and the sentiments and thoughts of rational people.

According to reports from the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, citizens in Gaza have had to resort to mass graves, with more than 120 documented mass graves since 7 October 2023. Many people have been buried in these graves without their identities being known, without being recorded by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, and without their families saying goodbye to them or even knowing that they were buried there. These individuals were buried in large pits on top of each other after being killed by apartheid and racist Israeli occupation forces.

The conditions under which citizens in Gaza have been buried in mass graves are extremely harsh and beyond comprehension. One of the main reasons for the resort to mass graves has been the indiscriminate bombing of residential areas, civilian buildings, hospitals, and schools, where a large number of citizens gathered in one place were subjected to intense shelling. Many died and were turned into body parts, their limbs mixed together and lost, with some parts even vaporising or disappearing due to burns from explosive and incendiary materials in internationally banned missiles used by the Israeli occupation forces.

Additionally, cases of grave digging and body theft by Israeli forces have forced the need for mass graves. Israeli forces take bodies from graves in a brutal and monstrous manner, constituting a blatant and gross violation of human dignity. They transport them into Israel, subject them to examination, sometimes steal organs, and then return them as remains of many individuals, often mixed together. Thus, these bodies bear no features, and their identities remain unknown. They are eventually buried in mass graves in a way that degrades human dignity and attacks it even after death.

How do mass graves appear?

The form of mass graves where people are buried in Gaza involves digging a large pit next to the full cemeteries and placing tens, or sometimes hundreds, of bodies using a large excavator in a terrifying manner that reflects the horror and brutality faced by Palestinian citizens in Gaza. Afterward, the excavator pulls the sand to cover the large pit with the bodies directly, without a barrier between the body and the sand on top of the grave. This is extremely worrying, as this sand may be washed away by heavy rain, revealing the bodies or what remains of them, constituting a violation of human dignity and an assault on it after death. Animals might also dig into the soil, reaching these bodies or remains, gnawing on them or moving them elsewhere, which is horrifying and against all human laws.

For the families of these victims, the idea of mass graves is terrifying and deeply saddening. Perhaps if the families of these victims had a single wish after losing their loved ones, it would be to have a proper grave for each victim, where they could be remembered by their loved ones, and visited from time to time, with flowers placed on it. Such a grave would stand as a witness to what happened to that victim. However, for Palestinians in Gaza, there is no room for death either, as there is no room for life, due to Zionist crimes and Israeli savagery.

The Israeli occupation continues its violations against the Palestinian people, crossing all red lines and committing all internationally prohibited crimes, which represent a blatant assault on Palestinian citizens in Gaza. The occupation forces face no accountability or punishment for all these crimes, and it does not appear that they will face any, given the significant silence and neglect from the international community. Everyone turns a blind eye when Israel acts, just as everyone turns a blind eye when the victim is Palestinian.

Iran: America’s Next War Of Choice
The U.S. is at risk of being buffaloed into a bloody war of regional realignment in the wake of Syria’s collapse.

 

BY and  

 

Peace is not at hand in the Middle East, and Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu remains determined to expand the war. Syria’s de facto partition into Israeli and Turkish territories is the prelude to wider war with Iran. As the Times of Israel reported last week, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has “continued to increase its readiness and preparations” for “potential strikes in Iran.”

Netanyahu’s top priority is the destruction of Iran before Russia wraps up its victory in Ukraine and Syria becomes a new battleground for Turks and Israelis. It’s not simply the end of Washington’s “rules-based international order.” It’s the onset of chaos. Israeli forces and Turkish auxiliaries (i.e. the Islamist terrorists who sacked Syria) are already staring at each other across a demarcation line that runs east–west just south of Damascus. Netanyahu harbors no illusions about the conflict between Ankara’s long-term strategic aims in the region and Jerusalem’s determination to claim the Syrian spoils of war. 

In addition to serious financial trouble and societal discontent on the home front, President-elect Donald Trump now confronts the dangerous distraction of wars he did not start, wars that will bring his administration and his country no strategic benefit. America’s underwriting of Netanyahu’s expanding war in the Middle East will endanger U.S. national security and guarantee that Washington, its armed forces, and the U.S. economy will be hostage to whatever strategic direction Netanyahu decides to take. 

Starting the war sooner, rather than later, is critical for Netanyahu. War with Iran presents Trump with a strategic fait accompli. In case Trump decides to distance the United States from another bloodbath in the Middle East, Israel’s ongoing conflict with Iran and Turkey’s potential confrontation with Israel will make disengagement impossible.

American policy planners need to understand the larger context in which this is all unfolding—and why a war on Iran will ultimately bring us and our alleged Israeli friends to grief. The principal aim of U.S. foreign policy planners ought to be the adaptation of the American economy and military establishment to the multipolar world and the development of new markets, not new enemies. Washington’s refusal to acknowledge the fundamental shifts in power and wealth lie at the heart of much of the Biden administration’s foreign policy failure.

successful management of change would avoid a conflict with Iran; it would peacefully reconcile competing claims to regional hegemony, as the Chinese recently did with their brokering of the historic rapprochement between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It would revitalize such multilateral organizations as the UN Security Council and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. These actions would cultivate the emergence of new constellations of power along the lines of Metternich and Castlereagh’s 1815 Concert of Europe. Just as no question of strategic security in Europe can be solved without Russian participation, Washington cannot create stability in the Middle East by unconditionally backing Israel’s territorial ambitions.

An American failure to manage its own transition to multipolarity will create more chaos and ignite a major war in the Middle East, not to mention a full blown war with Russia, and, eventually, China. An outlook that prioritizes avoiding conflict, not starting new conflicts, must replace nearly three decades of feckless leadership in foreign affairs. New thinking in defense and foreign policy should rank diplomacy and peaceful cooperation first over the use of military power.

Bonaparte quipped that in war, truth is the first casualty. Nothing has changed since then. Washington is a veritable fountainhead of lies feeding an unending stream of false narratives regarding the true character of the jihadist hordes raging across Syria. For our purposes, however, it is important to note the alignment of powers behind the Islamist factions now pillaging and terrorizing Syria.

Washington seems blithely oblivious to Syria’s destruction and the emergence of joint Israeli-Turkish hegemony across the Near East. The disintegration of Syria does, however, open up a short window of opportunity for Tel Aviv to attack Iran. As the Times of Israel report noted, while previously the “IAF would not fly directly over Damascus when carrying out strikes on Iran-linked targets in the capital, it now can.”

Netanyahu believes he has the wind at his back: Emboldened by the collapse of the Assad regime, he will turn his attention to Lebanon, southern Syria, and the West Bank. One predictable consequence of an attack on Iran will be a solidifying of the Chinese-brokered Iran-Saudi rapprochement—and a hardening of the blocs in the Greater Middle East, which will see Iran, backed by Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, set against a temporary Israel-Turkish bloc backed by Washington and its European vassals. 

Iran is not Iraq: At 90 million people, it is double Iraq’s population, has a more developed economy, and has more powerful allies than Saddam Hussein ever did. Contrary to neoconservative expectations, there are no cake-walks in the greater Middle East.

The only certainty amid the chaos is that, thanks to the connivance of Biden, Netanyahu, and Erdogan, a wider war in the greater Middle East is only just beginning. It is one we will come to regret.
