Israeli forces in Gaza destroyed the body of a Palestinian man by running him over either using a tank or a bulldozer, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said on Friday.

The man is believed to have been in Israeli custody at the time or as of recently. It is not clear if he was alive or dead at the time he was run over.

    Strawman. I’m not someone who looks highly on how the IDF is acting. But these images cause an emotional reaction, and I can’t find the source other than a social media claim (on the most disinfo-friendly social media network) that itself cites hearsay. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, just that it has massive red flags and needs confirmation.

      Counterpoint: the IDF is doing these things specifically to create anger and resentment because they need continued terrorism on Israelis to keep their casus belli in play. They’re provoking it so they can continue ethnic cleansing defending themselves.

        Yes, western media includes a lot more than safe stations like CNN. But furthermore, it could be any media, arab media like Al Jazeera, whatever. No one is posting about this other than on social media.
