Israel 'Returns' Bodies to Gaza, as if from a Lost and Found
Gaza’s authorities received 15 bodies, with hundreds more still withheld, according to The New Arab. The framing suggests a standard procedure of repatriation, rather than the systematic desecration and withholding of Palestinian remains, a practice documented by groups like Al-Haq for decades. Israel maintains several 'cemeteries of numbers' where unidentified Palestinian bodies are buried,
effectively denying families closure and violating international humanitarian law. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a chilling continuation of policies that treat Palestinian lives and deaths with utter disregard. One might wonder if the White House, fresh off approving more taxpayer-funded weaponry, notes such 'returns' in their tally of 'humanitarian pauses.' (Spoiler: they don't.)
