Israeli forces have been accused of executing handcuffed Palestinian medics before burying them in a mass grave underneath their crushed ambulances in southern Gaza's Rafah.

Fifteen humanitarian workers went missing last week after responding to a distress call from civilians being attacked by Israeli forces.

The workers include eight paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), six members of the Palestinian Civil Defence search-and-rescue teams, and one UN staff member.

They were found over the weekend in a mass grave with at least around 20 multiple gunshots in each one of them, according to Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza.

At least one of them had their legs bound, another was decapitated and a third topless, he added.

I get in on UK now... Japan... gosh, I hope not but I am very afraid that is the underlying truth.

After WW2 the US practically took over Japan. Japan is extremely subservient to the US.

Now that China is surpassing over the Japanese manufacturing industry including cars, Japan is in especially dire straits. Their only advantage is their good standing with the US. Japan also has a large amount of US military bases.
