"When the Israeli army can do these things and get away with it, it can only then do more of it knowing that it will not meet any punishment," said one analyst.

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.”

      Did you see the video? Looks pretty normal.

      Sounds like you’re not very familiar with the tactics booth sides use.

      Wow if only we could all be as smart as you. Don’t be an asshole. Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know the details of how exactly they clear away murdered civilians with armoured bulldozers. We aren’t all used to witnessing this horrific shit and the twisted logic of the people who just feel compelled to defend genocide.

        Get a grip, calm down, and do a little bit of research before spouting off. Histrionics don’t really serve anybody.
