At Dar Al-Shifa, the bombed out Gaza hospital where as many as 100,000 were seeking refuge, the IDF has surrounded the facility, making it impossible for the Palestinians even to dig a mass grave to bury their dead. What are accepted norms in such situations? I eventually arrived at this tale of one side burying ENEMY dead. The enemy in question? Fighter pilot Manfred von Richtofen:
"When it’s a war without hate, as Erwin Rommel once called it, it happens quite often. I’ll give you a very famous example."
"On 22 April 1918, a military funeral was held in France. That is the chaplain (pic attached below) and a guard of honour from the No. 3 Squadron Australian Flying Corps, who were fighting against Germany in World War I as part of the Allied forces. The man they were burying was Manfred von Richthofen, who you may know better as “The Red Baron,” the German ace who shot down at least 80 Allied aircraft before someone got him. The Baron still landed his plane in good order although mortally wounded.
Several Allied units in the area were represented in the funeral, and one laid a wreath dedicated to “Our Gallant And Worthy Foe.”
His grave has been moved multiple times since then and his remains now finally lie in peace in what is left of his homeland. But you can see here that there is often great respect between fighting men forced by the hand of fate to be enemies."
A "war without hate" is impossible when Jews are involved. Their hatred of humanity is truly unique.
