“Palestinian civil defense discovered hundreds of bodies buried by Israeli forces in a mass grave inside the complex of Khan Younis' Nasser Medical Complex on Saturday.

Rescue workers said they had removed at least 200 bodies as of 12:00 pm local time on Sunday, and they estimated that at least another 200 remained, Middle East Eye reported.

"We found corpses without heads, bodies without skins, and some had their organs stolen," the director-general of the Government Media Office said in a statement shared by Quds News Network.”

A mass grave was discovered at al-Shifa Medical Complex after a deadly Israeli assault last month left the Gaza City hospital in ruins. Several bodies were found Monday in the hospital’s courtyard, including at least one person wearing underwear who appeared to have been “executed recently” according to an Al Jazeera Arabic reporter at the scene. After Israeli forces withdrew from the hospital on 1 April, teams from several government ministries were deployed to al-Shifa to remove and identify bodies. The searches were initiated after survivors said they witnessed the summary execution of Palestinians by Israeli forces during the two-week raid that started in mid-March.

Burying civilians in mass graves still ongoing in Gaza.

Clean blue bags. That’s what international law, human rights, and the “west” has boiled down to: the right to be buried in a mass grave in a vinyl body bag, no doubt donated by an international aid organization.

Palestinian civil defence crews have uncovered a mass grave inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza’s Khan Younis, with 180 bodies recovered so far, Al Jazeera has learned, as Israel has continued bombardment of the devastated coastal enclave for more than six months. The discovery on Saturday, and continuing into Sunday, comes after the Israeli military withdrew its troops from the southern city on April 7. Much of the Khan Younis is now in ruins after months of relentless Israeli bombardment and heavy fighting. “In the hospital courtyard, civil defence members and paramedics have retrieved 180 bodies buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military. The bodies include elderly women, children and young men,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reporting from Khan Younis said on Sunday. In a statement late on Saturday, Palestinian emergency services said: “Our teams continue their search and retrieval operations for the remaining martyrs in the coming days as there are still a significant number of them.”

Saw someone on twt ask how the discovery of 215 bodies buried in unmarked graves behind a jail in Jackson Mississippi wasn’t the biggest story in the country right now…

*gestures vaguely*

The state is not going to air out their own fuck ups when everyone is already mad at them. They’re hoping this will leave the media cycle as quickly as possible.

Also the only reason the mass grave was found is because a mother was looking for son for months and found out that the police had not only killed him, but also took him to the unmarked grave behind a county jail, and buried him there with his id in his front pocket. They made her pay to claim the body and charged her even more money to move the body from the unmarked grave

Fucking hell.

They found another one!

Jesus Chryste!

These ones have been identified to mostly be Yazidis and Iraqi Turks.

Poor buggers.

Speaking of Isis

This saddens me to a point where I just feel lost. Like, no tears, no screaming, no hyperventilating. Just lost. How do we, as humanity, fail time and time again?

Look at these graves. Look at their headstones. Think of how many families, or even individuals who had to bury their ENTIRE family, are distraught because they couldn't find flowers to decorate their relative's grave.

Think of the bodies, who will be disturbed even in death. If not by the forced excavation from Israeli bombardment, then by the pollution in the ground from the chemicals the IDF has dropped on Gaza.

They will be disturbed - even in death. I cannot come to terms with that, let alone fathom it.

This was an incredibly gory and disturbing dream, if you couldn't pick up that vibe from the art. For most of the dreams on this project I've written a little two line or so poem to sum up the dream. Sometimes I write that on the art, sometimes I don't. This is what I wrote for this one:

I stand over a pit filled with corpses. My hands are red from butchering. They are all me.

The dream involved me dragging the dead, older versions of myself into a mass grave. Sometimes chopping them up so they'd fit better. Sometimes keeping a little memento before I kicked a version of what I could have been in the pit to join the others.

It's no secret I've had a rough few years. I've kept my head up and kept trucking, but sometimes things come to a head and you realize just how many pieces of yourself you've had to chop off to survive, to try and keep certain people in your life placated, how many growing tendrils of self have been hastily chopped off by people around you or society at large. There's an inherent violence in having to survive a world you were never meant to thrive in and sometimes we buy into it and are violent to ourselves, trying to make ourselves fit into a box that can never actually contain the human experience. I think completing this piece has made me realize how important it is to not be complicit in my own destruction. Which seems like a very fitting bookend to this project as I move on to different artistic goals and feel more settled into myself because of the dream journals I've made over the past two years.

The original art will be available in my Ko-fi shop for $115 if none of my patrons claim it first and there will me prints available on my inprnt.

If you’re interested in seeing behind the scenes progress pictures, gaining access to my new work a week early, or are interested in getting to claim new art pieces before everyone else, consider becoming a patron by searching TundraKatieBean on Patreon or following the link in my biolink!
