So we've gotten to the point where they have created camps where civilians, including children, are being lined up naked. I know I won't be able to convince anyone who still denies it's genocide. The reason I keep talking about this, and the you should keep talking about this, is so that these same people cheering on the fascists can't pretend they didn't know it was happening.
I believe I mentioned this faux pas by the BBC earlier today, but here are the hard, cold facts. On Christmas Eve, BBC radio repeated, six t
The story:
The BBC has apologised for reporting Hamas claims that the Israeli army was responsible for carrying out “summary executions” in the Gaza strip without seeking sufficient corroborating evidence. The story, which appears to have been based on a report from the news agency AFP [Agence France-Presse], centered on a statement from the Hamas terror group. It accused Israeli troops of illegally killing 137 Palestinian civilians since the war started on October 7 and burying them in a pit in northern Gaza. The BBC said that it had failed to “make sufficient effort to seek corroborating evidence to justify reporting the Hamas claim”. It added that its accusations were attributed and its story contained a response from the Israeli military saying that it was unaware of the incident and that Hamas was a terrorist organisation that did not value truth. Some staff considered that by posting the report on its corrections and clarifications web page, the BBC had not gone far enough to rectify its mistake. “Unless this apology is public and broadcast in the same arena as the original mistake, the damage is done,” said one Jewish employee. A second staffer added: “They have taken the Hamas line — a terror organisation — at face value, far too much since October 7. And nothing has changed. And again it’s an apology about a very serious accusation against Israel hidden on a corrections page.” The BBC has previously apologised for a television report that Israeli troops had targeted medical staff during a raid on a hospital in Gaza in November. The previous month it had admitted that it was wrong of one of its correspondents to speculate that that a rocket that fell outside al-Ahli hospital in Gaza had been fired by Israel.
So there you have it: a completely bogus report, originating from Hamas, that the BBC apologized for because it didn’t do “due diligence”.
Exécution sommaire de gardes SS dans un dépôt de charbon de Dachau par des éléments du 3e bataillon du 157e régiment de la 45e division d’infanterie de la 7e armée US lors de la libération du camp – Massacre de Dachau – Allemagne – 29 avril 1945

Le matin du 29 avril 1945, le 3e bataillon du 157e régiment de la 45e division d’infanterie de la 7e armée américaine reçut l'ordre de prendre le camp de Dachau. Aux abords du camp, le bataillon découvrit un convoi ferroviaire de 39 wagons provenant de Buchenwald, remplis de cadavres. 4 gardes SS qui se rendaient furent conduits vers le train et abattus. Selon un rapport d'enquête, la formule « Ici nous ne ferons pas de prisonniers ! » aurait circulée dans les rangs des américains.
Arrivés près de l'hôpital militaire à l'entrée du camp, les soldats américains extrayèrent une centaine d'allemands. Les gardiens SS, sur sélection d'un prisonnier polonais, furent emmenés vers le dépôt de charbon près de l'hôpital et adossés au mur face à une mitrailleuse en batterie.
Les témoignages divergent sur la suite des événements. Les SS se précipitent-ils sur les américains ? La photo laisse penser le contraire, ou alors affrontent-ils le feu tranquillement debout face aux américains ?
Le servant de la mitrailleuse a tiré plusieurs rafales en direction des prisonniers et trois ou quatre autres soldats américains tirèrent sur ceux-ci avec leurs fusils. Les hommes touchés s’écroulèrent au sol et beaucoup d’autres qui n’avaient pas été touchés se laissèrent également tomber. Une poignée de SS restèrent debout mains levées. En raison d’un enrayage de la mitrailleuse, la fusillade ne dura que quelques secondes. Le Lieutenant-Colonel Sparks, commandant du bataillon, survint peu après et s'interposa pour mettre un terme aux exécutions en usant de son arme de poing.
Au fur et à mesure de la libération du camp, d'autres exactions eurent lieu de la part de soldats américains comme de prisonniers vis-à-vis des SS, des kapos et des collaborateurs.
La commission d'enquête sur le processus de libération du camp requit cinq procédures de traduction en cour martiale pour meurtres et non assistance à personne en danger. Aucun des soldats mis en cause n’eut à affronter un procès militaire.

Summary Executions is still taking its post-HBP break, but this is a special burst of nostalgia to celebrate the existence of 30 batches - and the reappearance of Death-Curse.com's fiction section, now HPStories.com . Ten summaries hand-picked from each batch, all the way back to the first one in…
Okay, so, if you want to wake up your neighbours laughing (which is what I am currently doing), do read these. They’re oldies but goodies.
I was on AO3 and had a sneak peak into the Harry Potter fanfic section, only to discover that Harry Potter fanfic is still predominantly terrible with few exceptions, so I was reminded of the good old summary executions.

The UN's human rights chief on Friday condemned reports of summary executions and extrajudicial killings in Iraq amid fears of mounting abuses by jihadists as they advance across the north of the country. "The High Commissioner Navi Pillay is expressing extreme alarm at the dramatic deterioration of the situation in Iraq," Rupert Colville, her spokesman, told reporters in Geneva. The rights chief was especially concerned by verified reports of "summary executions and extrajudicial killings and the massive displacement of an additional half a million people" by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), he added. According to the UN mission in Iraq, "the number of people killed in recent days may run into the hundreds and the number of wounded is said to be approaching one thousand," Colville said.
