The Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza reports that hundreds of dead bodies have been found in the grounds of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Civil Defense announced in a press conference that since May 1st, 392 bodies had been found in mass graves, many of whom had been identified as missing for weeks, while 58% of the bodies haven’t been identified.
Muhammad al-Mughayyir, director of the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, said that some 20 bodies were buried while medical and medication tubes were still connected to their bodies, suggesting that they might have been buried alive. Al-Mughayyir added that the bodies showed signs of torture.

We have seen pictures, and heard of mass graves in nations like Rwanda, Darfur, Cambodia and other nations, throughout the last few decades. There were mass graves even in Iraq, one of the reasons why the US supposedly wanted to invade the country. It’s what brutal (and uncivilized) regimes do, regimes that are evil, cruel, and full of hatred for the victims. Innocent men, women, children, doctors, journalists, and others, some with their hands tied up, and slaughtered by one of the most “moral” militaries in the world…..to think Biden, his officials like Blinken, and members of Congress have funded this horrible war crime, and are now trying hard to block and prevent any investigations by the international human rights organization, is unbelievable and unacceptable. Again, we invaded Iraq for this. We have become the biggest supporters of a terrorist nation, and Biden’s hands have the blood of every innocent man, women, and child. Make that 14,000 little children.
We should be called the United States of Israel at this point. We should be ashamed for the part we have played in this genocide, and our sick relationship with this nation that has been violating International laws and is now a pariah in the world.
