Israel has rejected a US call for an investigation into a mass grave that was discovered at Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
US officials have said they want Israel to investigate the situation itself and has not backed international calls for an independent investigation. When asked by POLITICO if Israel would conduct an investigation, Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani said, “Investigate what?”
Shoshani said the military had already cleared itself of any wrongdoing. “We gave answers. We don’t bury people in mass graves. Not something we do,” he said.
Israel’s story is that a mass grave was already there when its troops showed up and that its forces dug up the bodies to look for Israeli hostages, then returned them to the ground. But Gaza’s Civil Defense agency said only about 100 people were buried at the hospital before the Israeli raid, and a total of 392 bodies have been discovered.
Gaza’s Civil Defense said some children were found in the mass grave, some bodies had their hands in restraints, and there were signs of torture.
“There are indications of carrying out field executions against some of the victims, while the bodies of other victims carried signs of torture and others were buried alive,” said Abu Sulaiman, the head of Gaza’s Civil Defense.
The UN has backed the Palestinian call for an independent investigation into the mass grave. “Given the prevailing climate of impunity, this should include international investigators,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk. “Hospitals are entitled to very special protection under international humanitarian law. And the intentional killing of civilians, detainees, and others who are hors de combat is a war crime.”
“We gave answers. We don’t bury people in mass graves. Not something we do,” he said.
But with sub-humans, the unchosen, that’s another story.
If only one group has heritage, some will indeed see that group as special.
One person’s so-called heritage is another’s brutal occupation.
The nature of groups is exclusion, as with the smallest group, the family.
But the Palestinians are part of a group(s) also.
These bodies have foot and mouth disease! All evidence must be destroyed, but let it be recorded that these are 11000 Israelis infected and killed by a Hamas foot and mouth WMD.
WTF are you saying or commenting about??
Joking
In other words, they won’t allow the area to be studied, and they’ll destroy the evidence then write a new story.
“Investigations? We ain’t got to show you no stinkin’ investigations!”
“We don’t bury people in mass graves. Not something we do”
The Israelis just leave the bodies to rot wherever they died.
Israel is so nice. Why does it need mass graves? Israel bombs cities, killing babies under rubble, then it uses bulldozers to spread their body parts in the dirt. If any Palestinians are found in mass graves, blame it on them. They bury themselves in mass graves to make Israel look bad. They are @ntisimitique.

Any news on the ICC warrants?
Did anyone really think governments tell the truth? Israel is just on the extreme end of deceit by government, and the US isn’t far behind.
The US isn’t behind at all.
Wash. hasn’t started bombing or sending in troops–YET.
