Mass graves in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied

A total of 283 bodies were recovered at Nasser Hospital

Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

OK so on further investigation this is based on remarks allegedly said by Palestinian staff working at a hospital.
The guts of the story is about how they didn't have access to cemetary's to bury their dead.
And the UN Human Rights Office it's busy trying to gather reports (you'll notice, not the word evidence) on the alleged hands tied story.

So Israel busted in.. stripped their hostages of clothes , tied them up, went home and bombed them?

Or are they Palestinians being used as meat shields by Hamas.. the terror org everyone was been fawning over and financing?

Pretty sure if any of that were factual it would be considered mass murder and it would be all over news media.

But this is the problem when you isolate people from so called war zones.
Nobody independent gets to see or verify what either side is allegedly reporting.

Disturbing all the more so that this 'report' comes from a high commission on human rights.
But that's not the same thing.

Even human rights groups have an agenda

@Picklebobble2 Media has an agenda also and it has been exclusively biased. It will all come out in the wash no.

@Ozymandiaz Which is why it worries me when you say this thing has a U:N stamp on it.

Ozymandiaz

@Picklebobble2 Why would that worry you?

They had an Israeli soldier on the BBC last night describing ill treatment of prisoners and not identifying targets clearly before firing upon them. Pretty horrific stuff.

No surprise. Criticizing Israël is not allowed.
