UN Human Rights Office - OPT: Unlawful killings in Gaza City
On Wednesday, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report alleging that Israeli forces carried out a mass execution of civilians in Northern Gaza, separating 11 men from their families and summarily shooting them.

I swapped the original article at the request of a mod to from a source deemed more reliable, but to avoid confusion when reading the comment section prior to this edit, here is the link to the original article. I chose the Relief Web source listed by some who commented. Cheers!
You're viewing a single thread.
WSWS isn't a great source because it's based on a cause.
However, here's the report.
It's uh... Not good.
At what point does the Foreign Assistance Act's ban on sending aid to countries in violation of human rights standards come into play? It seems like we're getting a report on a new war crime every few days, which is a breathtaking rate for a professional Army.
At what point does the Foreign Assistance Act’s ban on sending aid to countries in violation of human rights standards come into play?
when it's politically convenient and not a moment before
Too true.
Sad but true
I just saw a report that the US is going to agree to a UN resolution to let more aid into Gaza. I wonder if this is why.
It's looking like Biden is trying to score brownie points for Christmas season so people stop talking about him committing genocide in the birth land of Jesus during family diners.
If it helps Palestinians I'll take it, regardless if it's just for political points or not.
It won’t be popular here - but that report is just a report of allegations and is also not substantiated by anything?
If the UN says it, it's always true.
The report includes the sources.
The report is just repeating allegations and asking for an investigation. Did no one else read it?
It is not a finding of fact or anything similar.
The report here also does not include sources or evidence.
The current membership of the HRC is: Albania, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Dominican Republic, France, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Malawi and the Netherlands.
Do with that what you will.
It literally tells you exactly which NGO did the original information gathering. And if Israel wants better treatment at the UN they should stop running an Apartheid government.
That is neither evidence nor a source.
It is literally a source. And you won't see actual evidence without going there yourself.
Genocide Joe removed any restriction of human rights violations on the aid for israel so until you vote him out
Oh yes because Trump would use our forces to do it instead.
Look, don't counter with 3rd party. That's literally throwing your vote away.
Biden is the only way to beat Trump. There are backwards racists in the Democrats too. You're not going to get support for anything than an old white guy until at least 2028....
Isn't what you're doing straight up "whataboutism"?
Not when presented with "vote him out." At that point, you have to look at what that realistically looks like. If just pointing out what's wrong with Biden, then bringing Republicans up would be. But if you're looking at the choice between the two, it only makes sense to talk about them.
See you in the camps!
Whataboutism.
Who are you to tell people they are throwing THEIR votes away?
A person with an understanding of math
Americans will vote for two genocide enabling people before they even realize that they always had a choice. You people are so brainwashed it's scary. The democracy you have is a farce
No matter what you think is the proper way to approach change, in the meantime you are better off not voting for the authoritarian.
Yup, and voting third party.
They are completely free to say that
I read it as it's not up to somebody else to decide if your choice of vote is a waste.
It's up to each person to decide what to do with their own vote.
Sure, they're free to say it and the other person is free to point out that it's not up to "Anonymous Internet Person" to decide what is the right way for me to vote.
From my point of view in a system that's nowehere as undemocratic as the US, these "things are the way they are, so we have to accept these constraints" kind of responses to that post sure look like the kind of passive acceptance of injustice so common in dictatorships.
Go ahead, throw your vote away!
Just don't cry when you're in the camps .
What camp? Is this related to the rape centers from a few posts back?
It's one of the possible activities. I'm looking forward to basket weaving.
Probably a place where there's a lot of concentration on finding solutions. You know, the final kind?
Just say "I don't care about Genocide I only care about my student loans. Fuck Arab babies they can all die if I get some money. I am as morally reprehensible as every single billionaire I condemn".
Take your mask off already and stop pretending.
Friend I don't want to be raped to death in a 2025 US concentration camp so I'm voting for Joe. I'm sorry this is what it's come down to for many of us.
Yeah they said this shit in 2016 and you're all still alive. You can drop the fear mongering act now and just say you want all Arabs to die.
Thank you for explaining myself to me. I have never been more ecstatic to be a woman than after hearing this enlightened kind sentiment.
I'm just glad you don't give a shit about babies, kids and women ACTUALLY being mass murdered by Biden and children's hospitals being bombed because your fears are the only thing that matter in this world and other people don't matter.
I'm just glad you don't give a shit about babies, kids and women ACTUALLY being mass murdered by Biden.
Children's hospitals full of little kids with already blown off legs are being bombed by Genocide Joe just to make sure they all die. But your fears are the only thing that matter in this world.
It's hilarious you're pretending you care about "arab babies" while parroting bullshit about "Genocide Joe" to try to have some moral high ground. It's very obvious to everyone, you're probably just mad the "wrong" people are getting killed.
It's hilarious how much mental gymnastics you will do to justify a Democrat committing LITERAL NAZI STYLE GENOCIDE.
I thought voting for Biden was supposed to prevent this kind of shit from being happening. Both parties are foreign agents. You vote 3rd party or you vote Nazi.
You just told a woman genuinely afraid of getting raped to get over it and that she actually hates xyz people.
You need to pause for a moment and ask yourself where you've gone wrong.
You just justified Nazism and Genocide by saying "vote for Genocide Joe else something bad might happen to me instead of brown people I don't know!"
Ask yourself that question. Where are your morals?
Hitler would have loved the current Americans in WW2.
So what are you gonna do genius? Vote for Trump which will make it 100x worse? A third party is never gonna have enough votes to win right now.
Yeah, when the entire country believes "third party isn't going to win, I have to vote for genocide :(" then obviously nothing will change.
Dude, chill.
I hate Trump but the stuff these people make up is absurd. How does voting for Trump lead to rape centers; except for the ones that already exist for Mexicans...
This is a good video if you're asking in good faith.
It's an interesting video. I suppose you are referring to the part where Trump does not care about your rights if he considers you part of the opposition? Is this going back to keeping the Mexicans in cages or something else?
Once an enemy or vermin has been dealt with, a different scapegoat is chosen. Eventually you or someone you care about becomes the scapegoat. The point being to recognize it before it gets to you and stop it.
Oh yes Trump, well known for opposition to authoritarian overreach.
What you should have said was nothing.
Guy asks a question about what it will take to stop Genocide Joe from his Zionazi escapades
I give the only correct answer since bombing children's hospitals full of already maimed kids doesn't seem to cross a red line for Biden
