From a post On X: On May 21st, I published and translated photos about Eliran Mizrahi, a reserve soldier in the engineering corps who was always posting about the war crimes he committed in #Gaza.

Eliran Mizrahi, who fought in the Gaza Strip since October 7th, ended his life by shooting himself last Friday - two days before he was supposed to return to fight in #Rafah.

#Mizrahi, 40 years old, left behind a wife and four children. He was called up for reserve duty at the beginning of the war by Order 8 and worked as a D9 bulldozer driver, destroying Palestinian homes.

He entered the Gaza Strip and, according to Hebrew media, was exposed to dozens of anti-tank missiles, survived resistance ambushes, small arms fire, and explosive devices and mines.

After half a year of fighting, Eliran returned home. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, but despite this, he requested to continue serving in the reserves. Shortly after his release from the reserves, he received another Order 8, and he was supposed to report again today.

Now, his family demands that he be buried in a military funeral. His father said, "The army took him, and the army should take care of his burial. We will not hold a non-military funeral. He remained in Gaza even when he was at home and was preparing to go out today for reserve duty by Order 8."

The end of a war criminal who participated in genocide
(I do not share links on ShiTwitter where I found the original).

يوم 21 مايو/آيار كنت نشرت وترجمت صور عن إليران مزراحي، جندي احتياط في سلاح الهندسة كان دائماً ينشر عن جرائم الحرب التي يقوم بإرتكابها في غزة. (البوست مثبت)

إليران مزراحي، الذي قاتل في قطاع غزة منذ 7 أكتوبر، أنهى حياته بإطلاق النار على نفسه يوم الجمعة الماضي - يومين قبل أن كان من المقرر أن يعود للقتال في رفح.

مزراحي، البالغ من العمر 40 عامًا، ترك وراءه زوجة وأربعة أطفال. تم استدعاؤه للاحتياط في بداية الحرب بأمر 8 وعمل كسائق جرافة D9 وقام بتدمير منازل الفلسطينيين.

دخل قطاع غزة وتعرض -بحسب الإعلام العبري- لعشرات الصواريخ المضادة للدروع، ونجى من كمائن للمقاومة ومن إطلاق نار من الأسلحة الخفيفة ومن عبوات ناسفة وألغام.

بعد نصف عام من القتال، عاد إليران إلى المنزل. تم تشخيصه بأنه يعاني من اضطراب ما بعد الصدمة، ورغم ذلك طلب الاستمرار في الخدمة الاحتياطية، بعد فترة قصيرة من إطلاق سراحه من الاحتياط، تلقى أمر 8 آخر، وكان من المقرر أن يلتحق اليوم مجددًا.

الآن، تطالب عائلته بأن يُدفن بجنازة عسكرية، وقال والده: "الجيش أخذه ويجب على الجيش أن يعتني بدفنه. لن نقيم جنازة ليست عسكرية، فقد بقي في غزة حتى عندما كان في المنزل واستعد للخروج اليوم للخدمة الاحتياطية بأمر 8".

The real victim of genocide is the man who crushed people with bulldozers - Thank you to CNN for explaining

#CNN published one of the most moving pieces of journalism I’ve ever read, a report that will truly echo through the ages. It told the harrowing story of a brave Israeli soldier whose job it was to… crush Palestinians to death with a bulldozer. Heartbreakingly, crushing people to death later made the soldier feel sad. This proves he is the real victim of the genocide. What do you mean, I’m “doing the meme”?

While Eliran Mizrahi was on active duty, he always maintained a brave face, which included smiling on camera as he drove a gigantic child crusher. He explained he destroyed more than 5,000 homes and ran people over in their hundreds, whether they were dead or alive, but it was okay because “there are no civilians in Gaza”. He sensitively referred to the “terrorists” he crushed to death as “meat” and later told the Israeli knesset “everything squirts out”.

Mizrahi appeared in videos on social media, gloating about his war crimes, but his family would like you to know it’s unfair to talk about the incriminating evidence. It was clearly the fault of Iranian troll farms that Mizrahi posted this stuff to TikTok for clicks.

This actually makes sense as #PTSD is about the lack of social support after a traumatic event A) someone on the #spectrum is much more likely to feel alone in general and therefore will feel like they are suffering alone and B ) the average person will not understand why something a person on spectrum found traumatic is traumatic and therefore dismiss and diminish it, often belittling them for being a wimp. I've found a few triggers here and there but never viewed myself as having PTSD, however looking back on my days prior to college I can see how many of my reactions to stress were hyperfragile. I would just cripple at stresses that were nothing to the average person.
There are serious breakthroughs in the treatment of PTSD with #MDMA , which allows the brain to feel positive emotions on the level of a normal person, #ketamine , which allows the mind to dissociate the emotions from the trauma to help them reframe it in a much less emotionally crippling way and #Psilocybin mushrooms which causes the brain to become hyper-plastic, a person with PTSD has hyper-crystalline memory at the level of an elderly person which makes it hard to change the way one thinks.
I never used MDMA or ketamine but I have used #shrooms 3-4 times in my life and look back that is around the time my life and confidence began to improve. Mind you at the time a LOT of changes were happening including my use of #self-hypnosis , so I can't say for certain if the shrooms helped or not. Luckily its impossible to become addicted to shrooms because they are so overwhelming you want quite a break between them except for maybe #microdosing .
However I would love now to try MDMA and ketamine therapy with a trained #psychologist and see if some of my other issues such as long term #depression which drives my #ADHD which I unknowingly use as a tool to distract myself from depression. Ketamine probably will not be nearly as useful for me as MDMA as I have in fact, possibly because of my #autism, been able to emotionally disconnect from bad memories and reframe them, but I'd be willing to try with qualified therapist if they believe it might help.
That said, John Oliver has recently done an episode showing that due to the severe shortage of licensed therapists, and the way drug/insurance companies fund things, only the rich or upper middle class may have access to these treatments while the poor who have some of the most trauma that often keeps them poor, will be left without this kind of treatment. This will lead many to self-medicate illegally which in the case of MDMA and ketamine can lead to addictions if not dosed properly, and without the therapist engaging in talk therapy, will only give a fraction of the possible benefits.

Acupuncture, which involves the placement of tiny needles into key points on the body, is now being used in a groundbreaking new PTSD teaching clinic on the West Los Angeles VA campus, as well as the emergency department and other clinical settings.

When Navy Veteran Johnny Theissen first started coming to the clinic seven months ago, he was using a walker and struggling with a variety of other issues. Since then, he’s undergone a “transformation” and speaks glowingly of how acupuncture has been a catalyst.

#acupuncture Tops #sham for Easing #ptsd in Combat #veterans — Large #treatment effect observed for clinical and biological measures of combat-related PTSD

There was also a significant pretreatment to post-treatment reduction in fear-conditioned extinction, which was assessed by a fear-potentiated startle response -- a sudden blast of air paired with a certain image, such as a blue box -- in the group receiving verum acupuncture versus the sham group, and a significant correlation (r=0.31) between symptom reduction and fear extinction.

it takes #healing, processing, to come to healthy terms with what happened. #trauma.

(and as silly as it first seems, try #EFT, which, surprisingly, works even better the more severe the stuff being dealt with in #ptsd or #cptsd or #grief or #addiction or #survivorguilt or #stress or #anxiety or #depression or #burnout , or whatever trauma from, and with, toxic overload...
this Emotional Freedom Technique stuff helps,
as silly as it first seems, it really helps. it's no magic pixie wand that solves everything, but it helps with the #overwhelmed #overwhelm, helps widen the processing aperture and expedite the jam straight through )

#mendwards
[no guarantees, do research it yourself, just speaking from my experience, it astonishes me how much it helps, enough i want to share it, perchance it really helps alleviate a lot of suffering.]

"look at #pedogate2020, watch #outofshadows" and #AChildsVoice if you can find it.
"seek the truth. dont wait for them to tell you."
"First, learn about Alice Miller and her work: #DramaOfTheGiftedChild #ForYourOwnGood #TheBodyNeverLies. Those 3 books right there, are paramount to understanding the lingering effects of harmful parenting. And we're not just talking about mom saying a bad word to us. I'm talking about systemic abuse that is in the home, that is carried within us for a very long time, and we tell ourselves a story that mom and dad did the best they could. And half of that is true. Because if they had known what they were doing to you at the time, they would have stopped. I hope.
The second thing, is to #Learn #EFT. #EmotionFreedomTechnique. It was developed by #CarlDawson and it has now been integrated into #MatrixReImprinting. You can go on youtube and look up the videos there. This is something you can do yourself. There's also something called #Havening by ~PaulMcKenna. These are all on youtube. But EFT and Matrix-Reimprinting by Carl Dawson ~ And there's many many practitioners out there now~ and what this thing is ~ I've done it myself ~ It takes the emotions of the past, and the thoughts associated with them, the anger the rage, the depression, the sadness, which we often burry, or get busy with doing something else, and breaks the connection permanently. This is a technique that has cured people with #PTSD for over 20 years, #ManicDepression, in 60 seconds, has been cured permanently, for people who have been on every single drug. And there's endless testimonies to this. And there's practices of wide demonstrations of this being done on people. It is a beautiful thing. And i is the thing that we need to begin to change our brains. To change the way we think. And to open our minds to a loving heart, that each and every one of us is born with. Because we have a battle ahead. We are going to have a lot of human carnage that we dont see yet, having manifested, because of the #Horrors that have been sewn into #Society, and our children, that are being summoned by this #energy, this #negativeenergy, this #anger. And they're going to be pulled from themselves even further, and given a righteousness to act in violence against their fellow human beings.
I cannot tell you the depths of how far this goes. I can only point you in one direction. If you look up Ronald Bernard, and his testimony, in the International Tribunal of Justice, in 2018. It's about a 33 minute video, it will tll you the entire time that we're living through right now. And it is very important. And there is a message of love and #hope in there."

"We have to start learning: We cannot be caught in this division anymore. The people who that are the doing the division, know very well, how to make you angry. And you have to say that's about enough. And when you do, and when this world comes together, against these #monsters. They will have no more power, because the only weapon that they have is fear. And that's how they get to these kids, they give them fear, and they put fear into them, and they keep them controlled through fear, and they do exactly that with you, through the #Television, through #TheMedia, through your #Politicians, through all these institutions to cause you #despair and anger and negativity, where argue amongst each other."

MDMA trials under review in Canada over alleged abuse of study participants | Canada | The Guardian

All clinical trials into the psychoactive drug MDMA are being reviewed by Canadian regulators after complaints about abuse of study participants by a trailblazing American psychedelic research organization.
The California-based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (Maps) has led the way in conducting trials into the medicinal qualities of the drug. In May 2021, it released results from a phase-three trial in the journal Nature on the benefits of the drug – commonly sold illegally as a powder or within ecstasy tablets – as a breakthrough treatment for PTSD, for which there is currently no effective pharmaceutical treatment.
But the government regulator Health Canada confirmed it had announced a review into the MDMA clinical trials sponsored by Maps that have in part been conducted in Canada, following a complaint that detailed “alleged investigator misconduct”.
