'Beyond Evil': Medics Say Iran School Massacre Was Double-Tap Strike

Choosing children to target and terrorize a nation is NAZI.





‘Beyond Evil’: Medics Say Iran School Massacre Was Double-Tap Strike

“The second bomb hit,” said one paramedic. “Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived.”

As the US and Israel continued to wage war on Iran Wednesday, paramedics and victims’ relatives said last weekend’s bombing of an elementary in southern Iran was a so-called “double-tap” airstrike—a common tactic used by US, Israeli, and Russian forces by which attackers bomb a target and then follow up with a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.

Iranian officials said that around 175 people—most of them young children—were killed when the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab was hit Saturday by what they said was a US-Israeli attack

“When the first bomb hit the school, one of the teachers and the principal moved a group of students to the prayer hall to protect them,” said one of two Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) paramedics who spoke to Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.

“The principal called the parents and told them to come and pick up their children,” the paramedic added. “But the second bomb hit that area as well. Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived... Some parents recognized their children only because of the gold bracelets they were wearing.”

Excerpt...

“When I saw her smile after coming home from work, all my pain disappeared,” the father added. “Now I don’t know what to do with this pain. I don’t know how to live with this.”

The symbolism of pedophile protectors killing children to advance their self-interests should not be lost on anyone. ALL who lied America into war and mass murder of innocent people must face justice in a United States court and then before the International Court of Justice at The Hague.

Of those named so far, about event split between boys and girls.

On Wednesday, Middle East Eye published a partial list containing the names and ages of 51 children—26 boys and 25 girls—one infant, and eight women killed in the school strike.

Or maybe they won't even bother. They don't have to answer to anybody now.

that killed 22 people, including 5 journalists. Double-tap strikes are a hallmark of IDF tactics: attack, then attack again to kill rescue workers in order to maximize casualties.

168 dead and 95 wounded. (3 days old #s) The number of dead has probably gone up because
some of the wounded have no doubt passed by now because of their injuries.

Double tap is exactly what Russia has been doing in Ukraine. On good Friday ‘25 Russia hit the
Ukrainian City of Kharkiv with a missile as people were leaving church services and then hit the
same area in the same city with a second missile in order to get the first responders too.

The holiest communion

These are war crimes.
These are crimes against humanity.

When we take The House and Senate, incentivize and empower the very populace currently being abused with the needed resources for bringing hese marauding Nazis to justice

Here's the full poem:

There ain't no turning back
There're only new directions
Though the instruments may change
Bet they keep the big brass section

For the hardness of your hearts
The lives spent toiling, suffering
Ought not law just serve mankind?
No I don't mean pluck and stuff him

Some say they heard the voices
Still others saw the signs
Sounds like some other story
Where the blood turns into wine

They toast the wine of wartime
The finest as they serve
The holiest communion
For sacrilegious words

Handwringing about 6 American combatants being killed is mandatory. Mourning the deaths of over 100 school children is not part of the warrior ethos. Concern is neatly avoided by citing the inevitability of "collateral damage." The double tap might offer a clue as to which side of the good/evil contest Americans have chosen.
