Video footage broadcast Wednesday by Al Jazeera shows Israeli soldiers gunning down two Palestinians on the coast of northern Gaza, even as one of them waves what appears to be a piece of white fabric. The video then shows Israeli soldiers burying the bodies with a bulldozer.
Richard Falk, former United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, toldAl Jazeera that the footage provides “vivid confirmation of continuing Israeli atrocities” and spotlights the “unambiguous character of Israeli atrocities that are being carried out on a daily basis.”
“The eyes and ears of the world have been assaulted in real-time by this form of genocidal behavior,” said Falk. “It is a shocking reality that there has been no adverse reaction from the liberal democracies in the West. It is a shameful moment.”

Call it what it is: this is standard operating procedure.
The entire world knows what you are now, Israel.
Wrong, you’ll still have Americans who see this and say “that is EXACTLY what I want”.
They’re not wrong. The world now knows what Israel is, and some Americans like what they see.
America is a part of the world? I really have been gone a long time…
I don’t think that makes op wrong
Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said the killings took place near where World Central Kitchen recently dropped off food aid.
Video is in the article.
What seems to be a tank drives up at 0:55 and shoots at 1:08.
The Bulldozer crushes them into a pile of rubble at 1:27
FYI, the IDF regularly uses bulldozers to clear bodies for fear of suicide vests.
Not clear why they would shoot them. Don’t see a clear threat. Possibly an assassination or just being indiscriminate.

Famously very safe to have a bomb go off next go a vehicle you’re operating. Just fucking check manually at that point.
And obviously in this situation these people were clearly not on the way to do a suicide bombing but honestly nobody thought that in the first place. This is just a long line of excuses used by a genocidal government to whitewash the most flagrant of their crimes.
You know they used armored bulldozers specifically for that reason, right? Sounds like you’re not very familiar with the tactics booth sides use.
Did you see the video? Looks pretty normal.

Wow if only we could all be as smart as you. Don’t be an asshole. Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know the details of how exactly they clear away murdered civilians with armoured bulldozers. We aren’t all used to witnessing this horrific shit and the twisted logic of the people who just feel compelled to defend genocide.
Get a grip, calm down, and do a little bit of research before spouting off. Histrionics don’t really serve anybody.
I am calm. “Histrionics”? Yes of course god forbid someone takes mass murder seriously.
That just sounds like an excuse to bulldoze bodies just like israel has a convenient excuse for all their war crimes.
If a bomb is what they’re worried about, I don’t think those soldiers would be standing so close as they “checked” the bodies for a suicide vest
It’s difficult to take these kinds of things seriously when they can’t even get basic facts about the situation right.
A front end loader is not a bulldozer, so what other facts are they taking liberty with?
Oh sorry didn’t realize it’s sparkling construction equipment I guess these killings are fine
“Thousands and thousands of children massacred but hey in this clip where bibi personally ran a dozen kids over with a Ford F250 the title says it’s a Ford F350!!! Curious, wonder what other liberties are being taken.”
Wake up babe, new genocide denial just dropped.
Most people wouldn’t know the difference when there’s a bucket attached
Doesn’t matter, journalistic integrity and accuracy should mean something.
There’s also a typo in paragraph 4. This whole article must be false.
Maybe… watch the video?
There is also the one where they assassinate 4 people walking down a street, whilenwarxhing via drone. Or the one where they blow up a girl’s leg. You can hear the girl being hysterical. Or the shoer videos of kids with half their guts out or bog wounds after bombings.
What I am saying is that you get a lot of choice. The IDF has hooked you up.
