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!

    When I responded, the submission went to the World Socialist Web Site. I linked above to the actual report. If you read the actual report, you see that eleven civilians were murdered. And that’s terrible. The report rightly calls for an investigation.

    Yeah, no need to explain that, it was well understood the first time.

    This doesn’t diminish those eleven lives. But that’s the difference between state policy and a military commander gone rogue.

    I don’t know if we can assume that anymore. The whole IDF is the former. Many Palestinians aside from those died in custody in circumstances the IDF wants to investigate, and then these 11, and in the upcoming months we will hear about a lot more.

    You ask, what is a mass execution or massacre?

    You didn’t answer the question. Your point was clear from the first comment I responded to. There was no need for over explaining it all.

    I suggest you Google mass killing and massacre and summary executions. “Mass” doesn’t imply thousands of people necessarily.

      I’m not debating your point on mass executions. Even or 22,000. They’re bad.

      But if you claim these were murdered as policy set by top leadership, you need evidence. Not speculation.

        The evidence is the collection of IDF crimes committed every day. Sorry the list is too long to put in one post. I suggest you use Google.

          No. That is not relevant to this crime. At best, it is circumstantial.

          What is needed are documents from official sources. Witness testimony from within the high command attesting to orchestration of this crime. Actual specifics.

          You are on a witch hunt.

            I don’t think any of what you are saying here is a logical conclusion to “11 men”
