Norman Finkelstein talks Gaza, a mass grave of Palestinian paramedics, and why he believes the Israeli army's actions reflect the citizenry of Israel.

In recent discussions, political scientist and author Norman Finkelstein has addressed the tragic incident involving the deaths of 15 Palestinian paramedics in Gaza. This event, known as the Rafah paramedic massacre, occurred on March 23, 2025, when Israeli forces targeted several humanitarian vehicles, including ambulances and a UN vehicle, in the Al-Hashashin area of Rafah. The attack resulted in the deaths of eight members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, five civil defense workers, and a UN staff member. ​Wikipedia+1The Guardian+1



Finkelstein, known for his critical views on Israeli policies, has commented on this incident, highlighting concerns about the actions of the Israeli military and their reflection on broader societal attitudes. He emphasizes the importance of accountability and the need for independent investigations into such events.

The Israeli military acknowledged "professional failures" in this incident, including breaches of orders and inadequate reporting. A deputy commander was dismissed, and another officer was censured. However, no criminal charges were filed, and the military maintained that there was no violation of its code of ethics. ​The Guardian+1Wikipedia+1

Human rights organizations and international bodies have called for independent investigations, citing concerns about the impartiality of internal military inquiries. The United Nations and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies condemned the attack, describing it as one of the deadliest for aid workers in recent history. ​Wikipedia
