❗️Palestinian Red Crescent:

– “The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has obtained a video from the phone of the martyred paramedic, Rifaat Radwan, after his body was discovered in a mass grave in Gaza along with 15 other emergency and relief workers who were targeted by Israeli army fire on 23 March."

– “The footage clearly shows that the ambulances and fire trucks they were using were visibly marked and displayed emergency symbols, with their lights flashing at the time they were fired upon by Israeli forces."

– “This video directly refutes the occupation's claims that Israeli forces did not randomly attack ambulances and had alleged that some vehicles approached "suspiciously, without lights or emergency indicators."

– “The video exposes the truth and clearly debunks that narrative."

The white, western world has descended into barbarism. Can there be any recovery now that we have shown the planet that there are no rules, no laws, no customs, no decencies that we will not violate? Western “civilization” is dead and I fear for what comes next. I hope future generations will finally learn from history, but I don’t know what they could model themselves on and it will take centuries for the rest of the world to trust us. We have not just destroyed Palestine, we have destroyed hope.

It’s an extremely distressing audio recording to listening to as the shots get closer. He was trying to help people.

I'm 66 now but, l remember being about 7 or 8 and catching a glimpse of a B&W documenatary about WWII my parents were watching on TV. It contained old photos of emmaciated men with hollowed eyes, wearing filthy rags, standing behind chain link fences. I was only about 7 or 8 and was meant to be asleep in my bed but, came downstairs to ask for a glass of water. My mother saw me looking at the TV and quickly got up to take me back to my room.

I couldn't comprehend what l'd seen and, the next day l asked my mom what they had been watching on TV. Eventually she told me about the war and the bad men (Nazis) then the death camps. As l got older l saw photos in history books and other documentaries showing mass graves and piles of dead bodies and learned about the Jewish Holocaust. I say "learned" about it but, it was many years before the images in my mind's eye faded.

I believed that Never Again meant... Never Again. But, genocide HAS happened again and again and again and it's happening now. Only now the pictures are in colour and the documentaries are being live streamed on my cell. phone.

It sickens me that nothing is being done and no one is stopping it. Not even the President of the USA or the German Chancellor is willing to face the facts, admit the truth and send Netenyahu to the Hague.

I can't imagine what the mothers will be telling their 6 or 7 year olds 50 years from now.
