If this were any other country in Europe or the US, no one would be questioning the doctors, the first responders, and news outlets who report their claims. Because ultimately, that’s what’s going on here.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. There were some big allegations of mass rape and infant decapitations, which received a lot of attention and credulity and then turned out to be unsubstantiated. It’s happened before in other conflicts where unsubstantiated claims of specific attrocities have been used to dehumanize enemies and build support for war. The Nayirah testimony comes to mind as an infamous example. So, when I hear wild stories of victims bound together with steel wire (of all things) and then directly set on fire, I am rightfully skeptical.

The image of the CT scan the The Media Line shows something next to the torsos, but we don’t know what it is because there’s no quote from Dr. Kugel or any other expert to tell us. This report also omits a detail that the Guardian report includes, which is that the remains were recovered from a safe room in a kibbutz. Therefore, a scenario where the two individuals were tied together (with steel wire) and directly set on fire, as opposed to being trapped in a room in a burning building, seems relatively farfetched.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood featured many confirmed atrocities. I’ve seen videos and read corroborating reports. I do not dispute that. What I take issue with are the uncorroborated rumors that seem designed to make people especially upset. The Israeli government, its supporters, and apologists were so quick and eager to run with the false allegations of mass rape and infant beheadings. If there was evidence that unequivocally confirmed that people were tied together and set on fire, a scene that might have come from a Saw sequel, they would absolutely be showcasing it. However, not even The Media Line report can produce a quote from a forensic expert (that isn’t an obvious lie) to support the allegation.
