I was not prepared for that header image even when blurred.

If you are easily distributed maybe skip this article. The headline is an accurate TLDR.

Does Lemmy do content warnings? If so maybe I should bite the bullet already and move.

No one should skip it. We need to be face to face with the horrors of humanity.

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

No we don't. If you already oppose the horror there's no need to see it for yourself. If you support it then yes, you should have the courage to face what you support.

Euro-Med Monitor documented the Israeli army’s killing of a Palestinian man who was deliberately run over in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood on 29 February after he was arrested. The man was subjected to harsh interrogation by members of the Israeli army, who bound his hands with plastic zip-tie handcuffs before running him over with a military vehicle from the bottom to the top of his body.

The incident occurred on the main Salah al-Din Street in the Zaytoun neighbourhood, according to eyewitnesses who spoke to the Euro-Med Monitor team. Israeli soldiers restrained the victim’s hands before they crushed him, and tramped on his body from the legs up, confirming that he was alive during the incident. To guarantee thorough and complete crushing, the victim was placed on asphalt rather than in an adjacent sandy area.

The victim’s mutilated body and the surrounding area bear obvious signs that a military bulldozer or tank was present. It appears that the victim was purposefully stripped of his clothes, as he was seen wearing only his underpants at the time of his death.

The ramming operation occurred before the Israeli army withdrew to the outskirts of the Zaytoun neighbourhood two days ago, as evidenced by the condition of the entrails and other body parts, which had not yet decomposed when the case was documented.

Another documented incident took place on 23 January, when an Israeli tank ran over members of the Ghannam family while they were sleeping in a shelter caravan in the Taiba Towers area of Khan Younis. As a result, a man and his eldest daughter were killed, and his remaining three children and wife were injured. Amina, his 13-year-old daughter, confirmed that her father and older sister were killed when an Israeli tank unexpectedly and repeatedly ran over the caravan, where the family had been sleeping. While her mother and two other siblings survived the attack, Amina experienced extreme pressure in her eyes, nearly losing her sight.

All I feel is anger.

Makes sense. It's communism when tanks don't run over people, so the inverse must be true as well.

I'd heard that this was a bulldozer when this first came out a few days ago.

You can see a zip tie around the victim's wrist.

It happens a lot, so that could be another incident.

Free Palestine

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Quite true. Found a photo of a young boy being ran over. It is terrible, looks unreal. Not sure if I should post it here, so see if you can search for it, it is a human pancake.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

Well that's nothing compared to Chyna not running over tank man /s

This guy runs Euro Med Monitor:

Abdu was the assistant director and Palestine Office Manager for Council for European Palestinian Relations,[19][20] an organisation described by The Independent as "a Belgian non-profit organisation that lobbies on behalf of the Hamas-led Gaza Government."[21] He was on the board of trustees of the International platform of NGOs working for Palestine.

Congratulations, you're spreading Hamas propaganda. There's a reason this story isn't being run anywhere credible.
