"He walked 12km to get there, and when he got there, he thanked us for the remnants and the small crumbs that he got.

"He set them down on the ground, because I was kneeling at this point, and he sets his food down, and he places his hands on my face, on the side of my face, on my cheeks, these frail, skeleton, emaciated hands - dirty - and he puts them on my face, and he kissed me.

"He kissed me, and he said thank you in English, thank you. And he collected his items, and he walked back to the group," he said.

The next line in the article sums up the situation though:

"Then he was shot at with pepper spray, tear gas, stun grenades and bullets shot at his feet [and then] in the air, and he runs away scared, and the IDF [Israeli army] were shooting at the crowd.

Jesus fucking Christ... Monsters

Sadistic fucking psychopaths. I literally can't wrap my head around this level of cruelty. How can you even live with yourself, fucking hell, how do you sleep at night after doing something like this? I can't fathom hating anyone bad enough to actually enjoy watching them suffer like that, it's just... I don't even have words to express how disgusting and sad this whole situation is...

I always think of that episode of black mirror where the soldiers are made to wear masks that make the humans that they're killing look like monsters. Except in real life the mask is inside their brain and it's extremely difficult if not impossible to remove. They're not seeing humans when they kill and torture.

I am very glad these people are telling stories of their experiences. As someone with severe PTSD from a chaotic job trying to help people I can tell you this will stay with this guy the rest of his life. I see this not just from the starving Palestinian side but also from the side that this guy's life, without proper acknowledgement and treatment is just as over as that poor Palestinian he watched starve and die.

I am hopeful he gets the help he needs but in this current western culture of hatred and cynicism I imagine he will disappear into a terrible obscurity of fucked up memories because Palestinians obviously deserve this and so does he for trying to help.

Neither person in this story should be experiencing this and all of us are complicit in allowing it to happen until we force our governments to do otherwise.

The Judaism that I was indoctrinated into without choice as a child taught me not to murder. Fuck everything about this. Fuck Israel.

Literally one of the 10 commandments.

Just imagine the outrage if Hamas had done this, and it would be rightly so. But the other way around? This is how Palestinians are being treated, subhuman.

There's plenty of outrage from people who don't shut off their brains.

The majority of Israeli's who support the genocide have forgotten their history. Any student of history knows it has a funny way of repeating itself, time and time again.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago

Don't let Israel appropriate the Holocaust. The vast majority of Israelis are not, and have nothing to do with, Holocaust survivors. In the first place most Israeli Jews are of Middle Eastern or Eastern European descent (the latter having mostly immigrated in the interwar or post-Cold War period).

Unfortunately Israels actions are much like any extremists these days, very loud, very violent, throwing the victim card willy nilly and calling everything antisemetic. I remember when 911 happened and Muslims everywhere had to go out of their way to prove they are not extremists. There is crickets from Jewish leaders across the world on Israels actions.

[-] FatCrab@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Really? I think it's more that they don't get the social media and news traction that outrageous shit like their (minority extremist) opposition gets. Folks like Lander and Sanders regularly speak out about Israeli atrocities. Myriad organizations like JVP, INN, and more are among the most active organized voices trying to get this shit to stop. Bunds are popping up literally all over the world and fundamentally anti-Zionist and most stand in solidarity with Palestine. This narrative that Jews are silently condoning Israeli ethnosupremecist fascism is a made up one that serves only to benefit a minority of extremists and Zionists.

I guess it must be lack of media coverage, obviously I'm talking about leaders and not the general public, who have been very vocal about it.

“One of the contractors…was an American that did speak Hebrew. He said, ‘Hey. He just told the snipers…to take these kids out',” Aguilar said.

These people need to watch their backs and stay safe so they can testify at some point. Hopefully.

[-] card797@champserver.net 13 points 1 year ago

Shooting a kid. That's barbaric and unholy. They should be in hell if it existed.

GHF probably isn’t the worst death squad.
