Allegations (and possible evidence?) of Mass Execuations in Gaza
A Blog from David Crump
Krystal Ball at Breaking Point news offers a penetrating look at anti-Palestinian media bias.
The way in which people and events are described in news reports tells us a lot about the prejudices, likes and dislikes of news producers and reporters.
In western media Jews and the state of Israel are generally covered very positively. Whereas, Palestinians and the victims of Israel’s aggression in Gaza are portrayed rather negatively.
Check out the evidence offered below. It’s titled “Study Reveals How Media Whitewashes Genocide”:
What happens to a society where the vast majority endorse their government’s policy of committing genocide against a subject people?
Unsurprisingly, it will demonstrate increased levels of hard-heartedness and moral corruption.
Gideon Levy is an award-winning Israeli journalist who provides a chilling description of how Israeli society-at-large now illustrates such corruption as the people of Gaza are exterminated.
Watch and shudder.
Max Blumenthal is the chief editor and investigative journalist at The Gray Zone, an independent news outlet.
He is also the author of two excellent books related to the current war against Gaza: Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel (2013) and The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza (2015).
Given the recent Israeli poll showing that 68% of Jewish Israelis favor the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, I am sad to say that the evidence of anti-Palestinian sentiment in this sadistic video is not surprising.

In the following clip from Breaking Point News, Krystal Ball offers a good summary of recent developments in the assault against Gaza.
Be sure to watch for the recent Israeli national poll showing that 83% of the Jewish people in Israel favor the “voluntary immigration” all the people from Gaza.
I am not sure how anyone can consider such an action to be voluntary, given the fact that Israel has flattened their homes, turned the region into a vast parking lot, and destroyed any semblance of Palestinian civilization in the area.
Certainly every eventual “emigrant” will have a rifle to his or her back motivating their “voluntarism.”
But, then, we should never underestimate the delusional power of Zionism to turn reality on its head, causing its adherents to imagine that black is white and up is down.
Also wait for the statistics demonstrating that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has been the most destructive war of the 21st century, by far:
“No one but Jews can inhabit this land (of Gaza)”:
“Every baby in Gaza is an enemy”
Common Dreams has published an article by investigative journalist, Brett Wilkins laying out the many accusations against Israeli soldiers charging them with mass executions of Palestinian civilians, men, women and children.
The article is titled,
Euro-Med Monitor documented nine separate cases in which Israeli troops executed Palestinians—including numerous women and children—during the ongoing invasion of Gaza.
A prominent European human rights group on Monday submitted a report to the International Criminal Court and United Nations special rapporteurs documenting “dozens of cases of field executions carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.”
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based nonprofit, requested the ICC and U.N. immediately investigate “the widespread killing operations carried out by Israeli forces targeting Palestinian civilians, especially the field executions and physical liquidations in the Gaza Strip.”
In addition to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, Euro-Med Monitor sent copies of its preliminary findings to Maurice Tydball Benz, the U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial or arbitrary executions; Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967; and Navanethem Pillay, head of the Investigative Committee on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
“Nearly 10 days after the Israeli army began its ground attack in the Gaza Strip on October 27, the Israeli army carried out dozens of executions and direct physical liquidations against civilians as part of its all-out military campaign that started on October 7 in retaliation for the armed attack that Palestinian factions carried out in Israeli settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip,” Euro-Med Monitor said in a statement.
The group’s report lists nine separate instances in which it says Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops executed Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Victims include multiple elderly couples shot and left to bleed to death after being forced from their homes in Gaza City last week; a mentally ill man shot in his home in the Jabalia refugee camp; six members of the al-Khaldi family shot dead during an Israeli raid on their home; and nine forcibly displaced civilians including women and children who were massacred while seeking shelter in the Shadia Abu Ghazala School near Jabalia on December 13.
“The Israeli soldiers came in and opened fire,” one unidentified witness said of the school attack. “They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her,” including “newborn children.”
“The Israeli soldiers executed those innocent families point-blank,” she added.

The video speaks for itself. This is a former member of the Israeli Knesset (Israel’s parliament).
I wish I could say that this man’s speech is an outlier. But I have now seen far too many video clips declaring the same message from average citizens and government officials alike to remain that naive.
A former Israeli sniper explains the circumstances in which soldiers are instructed to “shoot anything that moves.”
The recent shooting of three Jewish hostages — shirtless, waving a white flag and shouting in Hebrew — was anything but accidental or a mistake. It was the direct result of explicit rules of engagement in the Israeli army.
If Israel will flagrantly murder three of its own people in this way, just imagine how many Palestinian civilians have been gunned down under similar circumstances.
The murder of these three hostages illustrates the moral bankruptcy of Israel’s claims to having “the most moral army in the world.” Moral armies don’t teach 18 to 20 year olds to “shoot anything that moves,” no matter the circumstances.
Never before has the Jewish settlement movement held as much power as they do today. Several of their leaders are members of the Israeli cabinet. They now call the shots in the West Bank, accelerating Jewish attacks against Palestinians, stealing their homes, destroying their crops and killing them with impunity.
The following video compilation offers a glimpse into this world of daily threats and violence:
