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”.

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

I think that it's messed up and that there should be an invasion on Israel.

 @9LRD2D9from Prince Edward Island  answered…12mos12MO

Its not fair the way there treated for just being victims and they weren't doing anything that should get them killed.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

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

 @9LRCX2HConservativefrom Prince Edward Island  answered…12mos12MO

it just proves that the people in isreal are heartless an dont care for people in Gaza at all.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

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?

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
