The Official Israel-Gaza Thread

[mastermind]

This is so fukking crazy. An American Air Force soldier self-immolated himself in protest of this genocide and the media doesn’t want to give any coverage for why.

Another person did similar in Georgia and we don’t know if that woman’s name and if they are even alive.

No room for dialogue for why a us serviceman would do something like this.

 

[Pressure]

Military should do a better job with mental health

[NZA]

this leads me to some interesting questions, like "are american soldiers today more prone to mental health problems than other soldiers across nationality or even time?" "and if so, why?"

Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation really shook me up ...

I am awed by his principals and bravery, saddened by the loss of someone like that

yeah it shook me up yesterday too. I watched it (blurred out) and it stayed with me for a while.

RIP

Beyond being a meme he isn't accomplishing much. He can do what he wants. Just like Hamas. Doesn't mean it's effectively changing anything.

 

[Gifted one]

RIP Aaron Bushnell, it's so tragic how our country is using US Tax paying dollars to give Israel free Healthcare, while US citizens don't often go to get checked out due to a high hospital bill. It's tragic how our US Tax paying dollars is going towards bombing buildings and institutions, innocent children and families in Gaza. Its tragic how not only are these bills passed but some have bypassed congress to get passed without their approval. It's tragic how our US Tax paying dollars gives Israel a free education all while many US citizens are in perpetual debt from getting a higher education to make more money. Our tax dollars makes Israel a Utopia all while Our tax dollars isn't helping our needs. Aaron being a serviceman immolating himself hopefully brings more light to a ceasefire.

Hamas has still no released the hostages. They hostages have been held since the beginning of October. Hamas is even ransoming the bodies of the dead.

what's good for the goose... and israel's crimes wrt that are orders of magnitude greater than hamas's

The Israeli army also dug up and confiscated the bodies from a mass grave that was established more than 10 days ago in one of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex’s courtyards. Medical professionals [in Gaza] found evidence of organ theft, including missing cochleas and corneas as well as other vital organs like livers, kidneys, and hearts.

Israel has recently made it lawful to hold dead Palestinians’ bodies and steal their organs. One such decision is the 2019 Israeli Supreme Court ruling that permits the military ruler to temporarily bury the bodies in what is known as the “Numbers Cemetery”. By the end of 2021, the Israeli Knesset (or Parliament) had passed laws allowing the army and police to hold onto the bodies of dead Palestinians.

Israeli doctor Meira Weiss disclosed in her book Over Their Dead Bodies that organs taken from dead Palestinians were utilised in medical research at Israeli universities’ medical faculties and were transplanted into Jewish-Israeli patients’ bodies. Even more concerning are admissions made by Yehuda Hess, the former director of Israel’s Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic Medicine, about the theft of human tissues, organs, and skin from dead Palestinians over a period of time without their relatives’ knowledge or approval.

Int’l committee must investigate Israel’s holding of dead bodies in Gaza [EN/AR] - occupied Palestinian territory

In November 2019, then Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, instructed the Israeli military to “completely stop the release of terrorist Palestinian bodies” to family members for religious burial. The policy of withholding of Palestinian bodies can be dated on and off to as early as 1967.

During the first Intifada, Palestinian corpses were subject to abuse such as organ harvesting. The Israeli army allowed the [Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine] to collect organs from every killed Palestinian using a military regulation that was court ordered to have them undergo a mandatory autopsy.

Israel even criminalizes dead Palestinian bodies

Israel has a long-standing policy of refusing to release the bodies of Palestinians who have been killed by its military for burial. This is yet another form of collective punishment, where Israel uses the dead as an example to anyone who dare challenges the apartheid state.

mondoweiss.net

In general, three reasons are given as to why Israeli authorities insist on not handing over the remains. Bodies are either withheld as punishment, an attempt at deterring future attacks, or as leverage in negotiations and potential prisoners exchanges — particularly with the Hamas movement in Gaza, where at least two Israeli civilians are being held.“

They’ve been holding bodies for so long, most of them are from the beginning of the First Intifada, a lot of bodies are being withheld from that period, and what has it done? What has happened?” [the mother of a son whose body is being held hostage] asked. “If someone wants to go to die, if they have something in their mind that is pushing them to make some sort of attack, do you really think that person is at all worried about their body?”

Defying families, Israel moves four Palestinians’ bodies to anonymous ‘Cemetery of Numbers’

Remains of four Palestinians that are subject of court case from their families were buried by Israeli in a “Cemetery of Numbers,” with only numbers marking their graves, instead of being turned over…

Israel to withhold bodies of Hamas-linked terrorists, return others to families

After disagreement between Defense Minister Lieberman and army representative in security cabinet meeting, slightly unusual compromise reached according to which Israel will return bodies of Palestinian assailants according to organizational affiliation.

2009:

Israel Took Organs of Dead Without Permission

A senior Israeli scientist has admitted that in the 1990s Israel routinely harvested organs from dead bodies without telling families. The revelation came from an interview with Dr Yehuda Hiss, former head of the country's Abu Kabir forensic institute, which was broadcast on Israel's Channel 2...

Are you connecting Bushnell and Hamas?? It is odd you would mention Hamas right after Bushnell like the two are related.

"Like the two are related."

regardless of what you think of his positions, suicide is a mental health issue and his suicide did not increase awareness of whatsoever. The entire premise is flawed.
