The execution of 15 Gaza medics reveals a disturbing trend of dehumanization towards Palestinians. These humanitarian workers were killed as they tried to aid the injured during bombings, falsely labeled as militants by the Israeli military. Footage disproves claims of unmarked vehicles carrying threats. The article highlights a systemic issue where Palestinians are viewed as inherently guilty, requiring constant justification of their existence. The author emphasizes the value of Red Crescent workers, who symbolize hope amid despair, showcasing the moral and ethical complexities in the conflict.
"Fifteen members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society and Civil Defence were killed... They were aid workers. Humanitarians. Medics who ran towards the injured when bombs fell."
"Footage retrieved from the phone of Rifat Radwan, one of the murdered medics, shows flashing red lights, clearly marked vehicles and no weapons in sight."
"A system in which Palestinians are presumed guilty. A system in which hospitals must prove they are hospitals, schools must prove they are schools and children must prove they are not human shields."
"This is what dehumanisation looks like. I was born and raised in Gaza. I know what a Red Crescent vest means. It means hope when there's nothing left."
