I am begging you all once more to understand - the point of bringing up the decades long and systematic abuse, apartheid, and Occupation by the Israeli government of Palestinians ISN'T to "excuse" Hamas. It's to point out that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to build a lasting peace even IF Hamas is removed, as long the deliberate and ongoing IDF and Occupation violence continues.
Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.
From an interview with a Hasidic Jewish person in Israel, taken by The Ask Project (see explainer article below):
Interviewer: "Does everyone who lives here deserve to be treated the same way?"
Interviewee: "I think not. I think this is the nation of the Jews and that the Jews should have more rights than the non-Jews. I think that each Jew should get a plot of land and non-Jews shouldn't" https://archive.ph/cN0yM #CeasefireNow#GazaGenocide#FreePalestine#Apartheid
Verified: The Israeli army reportedly stole 10 million shekels ($2.76 million) from various money exchange shops in the West Bank during their raids last night.
Multiple jewelry shops were also broken into and looted by IDF soldiers.
South Africa's application to the International Court of Justice, to establish Israel’s responsibility for violations of the Genocide Convention, hold it fully accountable under international law, and ensure the protection of Palestinians in Gaza:
I was never that impressed with the idea of a Two-State-Solution to the #Israel-#Palestine conflict, especially with the West Bank carved up like it was. But hey, if it helped achieve peace, then that was surely a good thing. But now, more than ever, I think we need to recognise that we need one state, free of #Apartheid. All citizens, no matter what their religion or ethnicity, equal and free. It worked in South Africa, and it can work again in Israel/Palestine.
I need to verify this : Israeli military interviewed by channel 12 news claim that Israel attacked, bombed and shot at their own civilians on October 8th.
The news also claims that the family used by IDF and Netanyahu as the proof of barbaric act of Hamas during their attacks were killed by an Israeli tanks shell.
I can't find any western media covering the story but inside Israel, the story is gaining momentum and people are realizing that the official story of what happened on October 7 and 8th is from from the official story pushed world wide #Netanyahu and his blind supporters in the west.
Imagine being a medic.
Imagine being a photographer.
Imagine being a parent.
Imagine being a child.
And imagine your home got bombed, after you were told to move there to "be safe". Your child gets hurt, and you end up in a hospital that doesn't have any beds, any equipment, any pain killers, not even disinfectant.
You have to hold your child screaming while the doctors performing an operation on her, the pain is so overwhelming that you have to pin down the child with all your weight.
Just close your eyes and put yourself in their position.
As a father, I can't imagine such horror. Glad I never did.
Now imagine doctors, medics and photographers having to witness and perform these operations over and over again.
And we, the people with high morals, watching it happen. It's not like the words of witnesses that Israel and their whole multi billion dollar paid propagandists repeatedly calling them for "Pollywood", to make you have doubt about what you just watched and simply move on and ignore it.
There is absolutely no need to prevent painkillers getting into Gaza.
There is absolutely no need for the world to ignore the suffering of innocent children.
And there is no way those doctors, medics and photographers to stop doing what they possibly can to help the victims of Israeli bombings.
But we don't care.
We just move on with our lives not even thinking about those little ones who later die of the shock because their tiny hearts can't handle the unimaginable stress during the bombings and the horror of ab operation.
And by then, she become a number. One of 13400+ that the civilized world has chosen to ignore.
I am not sharing the video, I simply can't. Even the image is from another victim because I'm writing this with tearsein my eyes. I hate the world we live in, the politics, the religion, the money and anything that is justifying the ongoing slaughter of the innocent little angles who had the who life ahead them.
CCTV footage of Israeli special forces attacking a hospital in Jenin, harassing patients, stealing wheelchairs and then later (off camera) assassinating 3 patients before leaving the hospital has been released (you can see it on my telegram channel)
Israel is completely out of control and have 0 regards for human lives or international laws. While the western leaders standing on the pedestals of morality and humanity, they turn a blind eye on war crimes comitted by IDF and unconditionally supporting this rouge nations under the false cover of the "right to defence".
Israel did the same in the past, but we were not able to see them, their leaders and supporters and an army of "activists" called the accusations for false, Palestinians for liars and human rights groups for antisemitic.
But we have video after vide,o showing clear violations of palestinians rights and assassination of injured, elderly, children and in this case hospital patients. But still we hear 0 reaction from the disgusting leaders of the west who rather starve millions of desperate Palestinians, than condemn crimes of war comitted by Israeli forces.
Very worthwhile examination by @anderspuck of what the word "Genocide" actually means and how it may or may not apply in the #IsraelGazaWar or #russiaUkraineWar or in other cases. Especially in the age of hashtags it is always a good idea to check our language so that we can create rhetoric that is both compelling and factual.
After watching this I'll be more circumspect about the language I use to describe Israel's crimes against Palestinians including #apartheid, potential ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and other war crimes, but perhaps not, specifically, genocide unless more information and proof of intent becomes clear.
"People keep asking me for Israel-Palestine coverage. I don't think I'll be covering the issue indepth... Instead, I'll write a community post about it.
Disclaimer: "Hamas" is not a synonym for "Palestinians’, nor are "Israel" or "the Israeli government” synonyms for "Jewish people". Claiming the former is anti-Arab, while claiming the latter is antisemitic. "
According to the Mother of Israeli soldier Ron Sherman, he was killed by the Israeli army who gassed a tunnel he was held in.
The mother posted on social media officially accusing the #IDF of murdering her son.
In a statement by the Israeli army, they claim his body was found intact with no gunshot wounds or trauma that can indicate he was killed by conventional means.
