Video footage broadcast Wednesday by Al Jazeera shows Israeli soldiers gunning down two Palestinians on the coast of northern Gaza, even as one of them waves what appears to be a piece of white fabric. The video then shows Israeli soldiers burying the bodies with a bulldozer.

Richard Falk, former United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, toldAl Jazeera that the footage provides “vivid confirmation of continuing Israeli atrocities” and spotlights the “unambiguous character of Israeli atrocities that are being carried out on a daily basis.”

“The eyes and ears of the world have been assaulted in real-time by this form of genocidal behavior,” said Falk. “It is a shocking reality that there has been no adverse reaction from the liberal democracies in the West. It is a shameful moment.”

    It’s difficult to take these kinds of things seriously when they can’t even get basic facts about the situation right.

    A front end loader is not a bulldozer, so what other facts are they taking liberty with?

        Doesn’t matter, journalistic integrity and accuracy should mean something.

      Maybe… watch the video?

      There is also the one where they assassinate 4 people walking down a street, while watching via another drone. Or the one where they blow up a girl’s leg. You can hear the girl being hysterical. Or the other videos of kids with half their guts out or large wounds after bombings.

      What I am saying is that you get a lot of choice. The IDF has hooked you up.
