Israel’s “Black Wednesday” Massacre Leaves Lebanese Families Giving DNA to ID Loved Ones’ Remains
The cold-storage units at the Hariri hospital have been fashioned into ad hoc laboratories to identify a relentless influx of dead bodies.
The unprecedented scales of DNA identification of corpses is born of a macabre need. Last week, after Iran and the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire, Israel pressed on in its Lebanese front with a ferocious blitz of airstrikes. The toll was staggering, leaving demolished buildings and infrastructure, along with the attendant skyrocketing casualties — the violence rending people into unrecognizable forms.
“The bodies arrive completely disfigured,” said Hisham Fawwaz, director of the hospitals and dispensaries department at the Lebanese Ministry of Health, which operates the hospital. “The remains are scattered and the features obliterated. We are often not dealing with whole bodies. We are dealing with human fragments that the force of the explosions has turned into medical puzzles.”

That's who the UK government are defending without hesitation from any criticism.
Keir Starmer will go down in History as a supporter of XXI century Nazis and their Holocaust.
Next to Starmer doing anything and everything in the service of ultra-racist Fascists actively committing a Genocide that's becoming a modern version of the Holocaust, Chamberlain just looks like somebody who made a minor mistake.
They are just following through
All the countries Israel keeps bombing need to form a pact that they'll act in unison to defend each other
That’s is in fact what Hezbollah, Iran, and Hamas had.
They’re not innocent, Oct 7 was unacceptable, but fuck this. This is so far beyond okay, it’s disgusting what Israel is doing. You can fight a war without becoming monsters like this.
Edit: wow the responses here are fucked.
That presupposes that they didn't start the war just so they'd have an excuse to be monsters. They've been propping up Hamas for decades as their own personal bogeyman.
They'd happily have a hundred Oct 7ths if it meant they could continue their imperialistic genocide unabated.
This right here. If you read writings from some of the more radical rabbis it will send chills down your spine. They view their own people as pawns for sympathy and outright say they are happy to sacrifice many Jews if it means that a thousand Muslims die for each Jew.
9/11 was provoked by America's support of Isreal
Bin Laden said it was to wake people up to the evils being done to the Palestinian people.
This is like a christian udentity church but rheir holy book is 'the protocols of the elders of zion' in addition to the normal 'turner diaries'.
Fuck all the abrahamic religions.
Yes and no is it bad that innocent people died yes. But on the other hand I can completely see why they did the attack. Your being oppressed and controlled for so long and eventually your going to fight back.
They only killed zios on oct7th
You think there are zio civilians?
They killed babies you jackass.
Is there a day in my lifetime the zios havent? Zios have declared babies are fair game. That babies are not off limits. Therefore zio babies are not civilians
also,citation needed, zio scum.
They don't really have the resources for it.
They could pick a catchy and descriptive name like "the Allies".
The US delivers "freedom" to any country in the region that tries to stand up to israel.
Last century the allied powers joined forces to prevent a genocide, this time they join forces to perpetrate one
It all began in 1948 right after the other genocide. Zionists learned from the best.
All their best guys were out of work.
The Axis has shifted
They prevented a genocide by causing another genocide? It's like that corporate wants you to find the difference in the two images meme.
Maybe Hitler was just really good at predicting the future.
