Head of the 🔵 UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, shared a harrowing account of a mass grave uncovered in Gaza's southern city of #rafah, where several emergency responders and #paramedics, still in their uniforms and gloves, were killed by ISR forces.

So Kristi Noem violated the Geneva Conventions, what a surprise;

“The humanitarian laws included in the Geneva Convention mandate that “prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated and protected against acts of violence, intimidation, insults, and public curiosity,” wrote Secretary of the Navy John H. Chafee in 1971 during the height of the Vietnam War.

That means that “[p]risoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of propaganda,” wrote Jonathan V. Last in a scathing column at The Bulwark that pointed out the grotesque nature of Noem’s photo op, with the prisoners dressed alike, “crammed into a cell,” unmoving, silent, and not making any facial expressions.”

But we don’t live there anymore. We live in a country where the fed govt allies itself w/Russian & South American #dictators while taking sides against #democratic #allies. A country that threatens its neighbors w/annexation. A country that views the #GenevaConventions as namby-pamby suggestions that only apply to suckers & losers. A country that uses #SecretPolice.

And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.

The goal is always the same, though: To use #prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will.

This is what evil, #illiberal regimes do.

Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.

Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.

“So you are saying that the Geneva Convention should not be observed?” King asked. “We follow rules,” Hegseth said. “But we don't need burdensome rules of engagement that make it impossible for us to win these wars. And that's what President Trump understands.”

Hegseth refused to say he would abide by the Geneva Conventions. He refused to condemn torture.
