No wonder how Israel can murder in cold blood 15 paramedics, bury them in a mass grave with their ambulances, lie about it, then admit its crime without any shame.This level of brutality doesn’t happen overnight. It happens because Israel does not find anyone who stops it, so it feels free to commit whatever it likes, ‘If you do not feel ashamed, then do whatever you like”.  

Israel has western backers who support it and partner in its crimes against humanity, repeating its lies for long decades. It spent decades preparing people for this. 

In June 2018, an Israeli sniper killed a 20-year-old medic, Razan al-Najjar, during protests by Palestinians imprisoned by Israel’s occupation and siege of Gaza.  An-Najjar was fatally shot by a member of the security forces who was aiming directly at her as she was standing about 25 meters away from the fence, despite the fact that she posed no danger to him or anyone else and was wearing a medical uniform.

In an attempt to cover up their crime and justify her brutal killing following an international outcry, Israeli officials circulated a video purporting to show her saying she was acting as a human shield for Hamas. However, the video was subsequently revealed to have been doctored by the Israeli military to take her comments out of context.  

An investigation conducted by Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem has concluded that Israeli security forces deliberately shot and killed Palestinian paramedics Razan al-Najjar, contradicting the Israeli army’s claims that it was an accident.

Israel lied about beheading of babies in October 2023

On October 7, 2023, Israel lied about the beheading of up to 40 Israeli babies. Benjamin Netanyahu’s office claimed that Hamas fighters beheaded about 40 babies during their October 7 attack on the town of Kfar Aza. The false allegations spread quickly and were widely repeated in the western media, and by the then American President Joe Biden, who falsely claimed during a meeting with some Jewish leaders that he personally saw pictures of the claimed beheaded babies, which the White House later walked back, admitting he had not seen any such photos and that the US had not verified the claim.

The NBC News published on Oct. 12, 2023 published, “Unverified reports of ‘40 babies beheaded’ in Israel-Hamas war inflame social media” 

Israel didn’t just lie about the New York time video, or about Ash Shifa Hospital, or about hind Rajab, the 6-year-old girl, whom they left to rot in a car for 12 days, her tiny body decomposing beside her murdered family, her final words “I’m scared, please save me ” met with silence. Israel has been lying for long decades and its western backers kept repeating its lies.

Israel has a long documented history of lying and falsifying realities to cover up and deflect responsibility for the atrocities and war crimes they commit against Palestinians, and western backers kept repeating those lies in their propaganda tools. 

Israel massacred thousands of medics, journalists, babies, civilians, about whom we have never heard. They turned Gaza into a mass grave amid the deafening silence of the whole world.
