Druze mourners protest Israeli ministers' presence at funeral after Golan attack (Anadolu Agency, 2024-07-28)

"... Footage aired by Israeli media showed mourners protesting the presence of Israeli ministers, including far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, at the funeral."

"Environment Protection Minister Idit Silman, Economy Minister Nir Barkat and Energy Minister Eli Cohen..."

"According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the #Druze Authorities Forum sent a letter to Israeli government ministers requesting them not to attend the funeral.

"'Do not come. Given the sensitivity of the situation, we ask not to turn this massacre into a political event. We demand a quiet religious funeral according to Druze customs,' read the letter."

Despite that.

‘I can’t justify this military operation any more’: the #IDF reservists refusing to return to #Gaza

Three Israeli reserve soldiers who fought in the war against Hamas say why they no longer want to be part of military

Early this year, he said: “We were given an order. We were inside a house and our commander ordered us to burn it down.”

When he raised the issue with the head of his company, he added: “The answers he gave me were not good enough. I said: ‘If we’re doing all of this for no reason, I’m not going to participate.’ I left the next day.”

People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine: We offer our condolences to the occupied Syrian Arab people of Majdal Shams and its fighters, and it does not hide the horrible crime of the occupying army in the city of Majdal Shams. We emphasize our trust in what Hezbollah has issued and we ask our people and nation to act wisely and miss the opportunity for the occupation that tries to create between our people

Forensic Architecture: THE KILLING OF HIND RAJAB

Working closely with journalists from Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines, Forensic Architecture collaborated with Earshot to examine the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hind Rajab, her four cousins, her aunt and uncle, and the two paramedics who came to her rescue.

Our investigation sought to answer the following questions: Where were the Israeli military vehicles located the day that Hind’s car was attacked? From what position and proximity was Hind’s 15-year-old cousin Layan killed after being connected by phone to Palestine Red Crescent dispatchers? Would it have been possible for the shooter to see Layan before killing her? What type of munition was used? From what position and direction was the ambulance shot? Could answers to these questions help us to identify the perpetrators of the shootings?

This is freaking infuriating.

We are letting a known war criminal to carry the flag of a genocidal regime during #Olympics.

Israel’s flagbearer at the Paris Olympic Games, Peter Paltchik, previously posted on social media about signing bombs that would be dropped on Gaza.

#Netanyahu spent minutes ranting and raving about protests in America against his government’s atrocities in Gaza, during which he received a standing ovation from Congress that went on for nearly a minute.

He accused the International Criminal Court of “antisemitism” and “blood libel” for saying that #Israel deliberately targets civilians, as though this hasn’t been conclusively established by mountains of evidence like the #IDF’s Lavender AI system and statements from doctors describing what can only be deliberate sniper executions of children in #Gaza.

He repeated Israel’s evidence-free claim that the only reason people are starving in Gaza is because Hamas is “stealing” all of the aid Israel allows in for itself.

Why, why, why, are we allowing this criminal regime to keep in doing these outrageous acts unpunished?

For years, Palestinians accused Israel for using Palestinians specially young boys and girls as human shield to hide behind. For years we were told that Israel is the most moral army in the world and bombarded with cartoons and speeches by Israelites and their supporters about Palestinians doing that to justify murder of innocent people by IDF.

With mobile phones, we are now able to see that these accusations were all true and the ones lying were once again the Israelis.

But for some reason, the global psyche of the "civilized world" seems to have created a filter for letting Israel to commit what ever crimes they please without the fear of ever being held accountable.

Mobile phones have uncovered the inhumanity, racism and hypocrisy of the world when it comes to crime where victims are Palestinians.

Blair government accused #IDF of acting like Russian army in West Bank

Tony Blair’s government accused #Israeli forces of acting more like the “Russian army than that of a civilised country during a major military incursion into the occupied West Bank, newly released official files show.

The tensions, which have eerie parallels to western concerns over current Israeli operations in the #Gaza Strip, are laid bare in papers released by the National Archives.

Israeli army admits troops 'likely killed' two captives held in Gaza

"Hamas fighters took Alexander Dancyg, 76, and Yagev Buchshtab, 35, captive during their attack...on 7 October"
"Hamas announced the deaths in March amid a brutal three-month Israeli military operation and bombing campaign in the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, where the men were being held"
"The Israeli military confirmed their deaths Monday..."

PS. These MFers have kilellled many many more Israelis than the fee they released from captivity.

Verstehen Sie, wenn Pa­läs­ti­nen­ser*in­nen oder propalästinensische Ak­ti­vis­t*in­nen sich weigern, über die Hamas zu sprechen, weil sie meinen, dass die Brutalität Israels viel schlimmer sei?

Eigentlich bin ich nicht hier, um #Israel zu verteidigen, aber wenn die Protestierenden sagen, dass Israel schlimmere Verbrechen begeht als die #Hamas, sollten sie sich die Frage stellen: Was wäre, wenn die Hamas über die militärischen Kapazitäten der #IDF verfügen würde? Ich glaube, es wäre ein Albtraum für alle. Ich denke, dass die Ak­ti­vist*in­nen Angst haben, als Alibi benutzt zu werden, um zu rechtfertigen, was mit den Zi­vi­list_in­nen in Gaza und im Westjordanland geschieht. Andererseits zeigen die Menschen gerne mit dem Finger auf Israel und machen es für alles verantwortlich. Das ist nicht nur auf den Nahen Osten oder die arabische Welt beschränkt, sondern geschieht auch im Westen. Also ja, Israel verdient einige Kritik und trägt einige Schuld; aber nein, nicht die alleinige.

#IDF #hannibal-directive #Israel #Palestine #Oct-7

So how many Israelis were killed by Israel? People are simply arguing the number.

Report I read months ago, stated that IDF ground troops were removed from the area prior to the #Hamas attack. How many people don't accept that this happened, and why? Does anyone else have a source for that? If the troops weren't on the ground, how could they effectively liaise with the air force? If that was deliberate, then how far doesn't such a conspiracy extend? To what extent is the scenario in its entirety, a creation of Israel - including the Hamas attack? Be'eri residents also get 0 answers when asking where the army was at that time.

(can't find second source of this) Major General (Reserve) in the occupation army, Ishaq Brik reveals a letter from a fighter in the “Engineering Battalion” confirming the falsehood of the numbers announced by the occupation:

  • A fighter in the engineering battalion who served in the reserve for 8 months wrote me a letter in which he said that he and his comrades felt that they had been “deceived.”

  • How does the army announce the killing of 300 #Palestinian fighters in #Jabalia when we did not see the enemy?

  • I asked an officer in the armored battalion: “Could it be that the death toll that is being reported was due to artillery fire? He said: This is not true.”

  • In short, I ask: Was the army lying here as well?

Dare we ask how many were murdered by IDF?

The image of the burned cars on October 7, showing clearly that they were bombed by a helicopter or a plane, and no way some Palestinians with light weapons and a few RPGs could have caused such massive damage seen on this picture and many other like that

burned cars on October 7

The videos shared late last year slowed IDF helicopters killing anyone moving, mostly unarmed civilians and possibly Israelis.

The full video was never released and Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir have put a gag order on any investigation of wrong doing by IDF during the hours after IDF helicopters and tanks were deployed to Sdeot and kibbutz where palestinians had entered.

ToI has a report with detailed information about how the police tried to take back control of the police station in the city before the interior ministry ordered the tanks to blow up the building with all the police, civilians and a few Palestinians inside.

CNN covered it completely different.

https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/al-aqsa-storm-militants-infiltrate-israel-after-gaza-rockets-10-07-intl-hnk#h_9243bb102f4e8f0134a66f60a356edd2

About 10 armed “terrorists” were “neutralized,” after the forces were ordered to carry out live fire “by all means” on the station where “the terrorists were entrenched,” the spokesperson said.

No mention of using tanks in "by all means" I'm that article.

But the ToI had the story covered differently:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/wreckage-of-sderot-police-station-destroyed-on-oct-7-found-dumped-in-nature-reserve/

The Sderot police station, overrun on October 7 by Hamas terrorists who killed 35 officers and civilians there, has suffered yet another sad ending.
Sderot police station after IDF tanks blew it up
After the terrorists barricaded themselves inside the police station and the site became the focus of fierce gun battles with Israeli forces for a number of hours, the order was given to demolish the building with tank fire and a military wheel loader and the attackers were eventually killed.

The IDF blow up the building, but the terrorists were the ones who killed the police and civilians.

Sounds perfectly logical, doesn't it?

If you think like me, then you will be target of personal attacks and called different nasty names.

Palestinian resistance in Gaza used one of the unexploded 500 pound bombs dropped by an American provided F-16 to blow up a building they have lured in a group of Israeli soldiers.

So far Israel has admitted to 4 dead and 5 injured, but the Palestinians claim the numbers are much higher.

Multiple helicopters seen landing in the area to carry the injured and the deads back to #TelAviv.

This is the 4th such @ambush by Palestinians in the past 2 weeks, followed by massive indiscriminated bombing of civilian targets by #IDF.
