Israel 'Returns' Bodies, BBC Skips the War Crime Prep School
When the BBC covers Israel 'handing over' Palestinian bodies, it's worth recalling a long-standing Israeli practice: systematically withholding Palestinian remains. This isn't a new 'deal'; it’s an ongoing, documented policy. Human rights groups like Al-Haq have detailed how Israel retains hundreds of Palestinian bodies in what they term 'cemeteries of numbers'—mass unmarked graves and
morgues—allegedly for 'negotiating leverage' or 'deterrence.' The current 'exchange' isn't about humanity; it’s a continuation of this calculated strategy, turning grief into a geopolitical commodity. So, while Hamas receives global condemnation for hostage-taking, Israel’s decades-long practice of body snatching and leveraged repatriation simply becomes a quiet backend detail of a 'ceasefire
deal.' One might wonder how many more 'returns' are needed before the media questions the initial seizure.
