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.

“Possible” war crimes.

What a joke.

Agree, but until investigations are concluded, a UN body should err on the side of caution in their words. It does no one good for that organisation to be seen as partisan.

The US led west, (very much including australia), are such hypocrites over these atrocities. Theres probably more evidence for these than the Russian war crimes in Ukraine. And yet there are no chest beating bellows of morality from the supposedly moral western governments when it comes to Israels likely crimes.

The region only seems to react to power. The rug will have to be pulled eventually for this to stop, do it now, save a few lives.

Or you know, keep going with the Grand Strategy against Iran. Who cares if a few more crimes are committed against Palestinians if the 'big dogs' taken out. /s

At the end of the day, even if they take down the Ayatollah, and the revolutionary guard at best it'll be a pyrrhic win for the west and arab states. Inter-generational scars don't heal because some leadership group is replaced.

I hate reading this stuff, but cheers u/zero-gravitas for posting. We have to know the good and the wrong things happening, and we are associated with. Whichever side of this particular subject people come down on.
