this thread is to document the racist, criminal and dehumanizing behaviour by the most “moral army in the world” both during its most recent bombardment of Gaza and across decades of military occupation in the West Bank.

to start, here is a video of Israeli soldiers chanting they will turn Gazans into Kebabs.

Palestinian children aren't built differently - they've simply had to adapt in order to survive the daily traumas of the occupation. I read somewhere that every single Palestinian child has witnessed at least one person killed before their eyes. The checkpoints, the nightly raids, threat of soldiers, arrests, sexual/physical assault, malnutrition, disrupted education, homelessness, absence of parents due to death or imprisonment, displacement etc etc. Every single day involves risk of death to these people. A death for which no one will be called to account. End the occupation and let the Palestinians be free! 🇵🇸

It isn't the first time they've done this, not even to a child. Disgusting. I see they're still trying to lie their way out of everything too, luckily people see through it now.

I completely agree. Not just the children but the adults alike.

Do they have nothing else better to do than to go and look for children to imprison? Makes you so angry. All he was doing was looking for his toy.

‘They shot her son in her arms and forced her to throw his body’: testimonies from the death march on Salah al-Din Street

One incident I heard from multiple people that I met at an UNRWA school recounts the story of a woman carrying her child and walking along Salah al-Din. Her child would cry loudly as she carried him, multiple people told me, all repeating the same details and recounting the same sequence of events that would follow: a soldier, annoyed by the child’s screeching, “sniped at him” from a distance and shot him in the head as his mother carried him. The soldier then picked up his megaphone and ordered her to throw him by the side of the road and keep walking.

In utter shock, the woman wailed and cried but eventually was forced to obey the soldiers’ orders at gunpoint, who surrounded her from the side and were also perched on top of a tank. Everyone told me the same thing: that the woman was forced to set down her lifeless child and continue, screaming and crying the entire way.

‘They shot her son in her arms and forced her to throw his body’: testimonies from the death march on Salah al-Din Street

Multiple testimonies collected from Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza reveal the horrors of the Israeli army’s “safe passage” on Salah al-Din Street.

This is Netanyahu's wife's aide and this is what she wrote - there is something very sick in that she feels emboldened to write such toxic filth. God only knows what is being said in private. I didn't believe it when I first read it as it is indeed shockingly unbelievable.

James O'Brien on his show today said he believes Israel wants to effectively destroy Gaza now at whatever the price in civilian deaths as the price worth paying to neuter Hamas for the foreseeable future. Genocide pure and simple now aided and abetted by Western governments. Israel may get away with it but they will never be forgiven or their war crimes forgotten and they have lost any support from the developing world and the youth probably forever. He also said that he had heard 400 civilian deaths for 1 terrorist was the current awful rate of exchange.

That is scary. I'm so scared for what they're about to endure. 175 Palestinians killed today.

Nah, not off topic perfectly encapsulates the Hasbara and extremely funny too and from the Palestinians I've listened too on Twitter spaces they're an extremely resilient, funny and lovely people!

@twilightmoon3 I don't understand how these people can think such twisted thoughts. Nobody believes the attacks were ok. But how you get to this kind of rhetoric? Honestly, it is serial killer vibes. Hannibal Lecter or something like that! What a twisted weird mind. Sad when you think so many of the top Israeli officials actually think like this.

Commissioned by the family to write Yoni’s biography, Max Hastings portrayed him as a moody, stubborn loner, much like his father, only without his father’s brains – ‘a troubled young man of moderate intelligence, striving to come to terms with intellectual concepts beyond his grasp’. Far from being the peerless commander, Yoni had been ‘actively disliked by more than a few of his men’. Furious at Hastings, the Netanyahus had the book published in a bowdlerised form. Hastings, who wrote about his encounter with the family in his memoirs (‘one of the sorriest episodes of my career’), took a particularly strong dislike to Bibi, who boasted: ‘In the next war, if we do it right, we’ll have a chance to get all the Arabs out ... We can clear the West Bank, sort out Jerusalem.’ Bibi’s racism, Hastings recalled, wasn’t limited to Arabs. ‘He joked about the Golani Brigade, the infantry force in which so many men were North African or Yemeni Jews. “They’re OK as long as they are led by white officers,” he grinned.’

Human Rights Watch confirm babies left in incubators due to IDF siege, now dead.

On November 9, Israeli airstrikes hit Al-Nasr Medical Center in Gaza City, cutting off the neonatal intensive care unit’s oxygen supply. The attack forced to evacuate the next day, leaving babies that could not be transported alone in intensive care, according to Doctors Without Borders. On November 28 during the ceasefire, doctors were able to return and found five babies dead.
