Another horrific discovery occurred at Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital this week: a third mass grave full of bodies left behind by Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The seventh mass grave to be discovered so far in the Gaza Strip since October 7, this most recent mass grave contained "dozens of Palestinians, including women, children, and patients, executed by Israel," according to Ramy Abdu, chairman of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. The Government Media Office in Gaza also shared a statement via Telegram condemning the actions of Israel that created this tragedy. "We condemn in the strongest terms the crimes of genocide and the continuous killing committed by the occupation army against our Palestinian people. This brings the number of mass graves found inside hospitals to seven: one in Kamal Adwan Hospital, three graves in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, and three graves in the Nasser Medical Complex ... 520 martyrs have been recovered from these graves so far."

U.S. government complicit

Israel of course did not act alone, at least not technically seeing as how it receives regular welfare payments and arms shipments from the United States government. Gaza officials stressed this, stating that they "hold the U.S. administration, the international community, and the occupation fully responsible for these mass graves and this blatant aggression." Supporters of Israel continue to point to the events of October 7 as justification for this ongoing genocide in Gaza, but what many of them are failing to mention is the sheer number of Israel citizens who were slaughtered by IDF as well in its chaotic response that fateful day. Not only that, but Hamas took very few lives in Israel on October 7 compared to the tens of thousands of lives that IDF has taken, both Israeli and Palestinian, over the past six-plus months. International organizations say they are looking into the many mass graves being uncovered, which in many ways resemble the mass graves tied to the Holocaust from the 1940s. Innocent people, many of them women and children, were dumped into these mass graves by Israeli soldiers after they were executed, and in some cases tortured. Is this something that supporters of Israel want on their conscience? Some of the bodies were reportedly wrapped in plastic bags with Hebrew writing on them. There were also bodies whose hands were tied behind their backs, their identities including doctors, nurses, children and the elderly. "Some of the bodies found have evaporated and turned to ash," reported the Gaza Civil Defense towards the end of April. "International institutions must identify the type of weapons used [by Israel]." Since the start of Israel's post-October 7 operation in Gaza, about 13,000 Palestinians remain missing, according to Euro-Med. Some of these are people whose bodies are trapped under the rubble of buildings destroyed by IDF airstrikes, as well as others who were "forcibly disappeared" by Israel for whatever reason. "They raided Al-Shifa and killed 50 civilians, execution style, including children," someone wrote on X about what is said to have happened in the most recent incident at the hospital. "The first raid on Al-Shifa in November saw similar civilian executions. The impunity is chilling, but the case for genocide is building as Israel keeps destroying civilian buildings." Netanyahu has said he will not stop bombing Gaza until the mission is complete. Learn more at Genocide.news. Sources for this article include: TheCradle.co NaturalNews.com
