I posted this on another thread, but it's worth a thread of its own in CITME.

Fabulous work by this group. I am in total awe of them.

Jews risking their life and limb to support Palestinian shepherds in their struggle to fend off settler terrorism.

It is a nice thread but it has bern used to focus on the settlements.

And?

What on earth is your problem?

I started this thread, about a fabulous group of Jewish Israelis helping Palestinian shepherds stave off attacks from violent settlers.

Yes that subject is related to settlements because we are talking about settlers and this is the West Bank.

Are we not allowed to mention that?

Honestly 🙄

Well said

"It is a nice thread but it has bern used to focus on the settlements."

You seem to look for offence at everything and anything. Why is that?

Scirocco · 03/07/2024 16:57

The thread is about Jewish people saving Palestinian people. It's usual, when discussing people being saved, to have some mention of what they're being saved from.

Limesodaagain · 03/07/2024 17:18

It’s brilliant to hear about acts of courage and compassion in such a dark time. I don’t understand how anyone could have a problem with this thread .

Liv999 · 03/07/2024 17:42

Well done to those Israelis, good to know not every israeli is indifferent to the suffering taking place at Netanyahus command

I am offended at every thread being used to bash the Israelis . So I am going to call out every attempt to do so.

And yes , well done Israel for your compassion here.

You are finding offence where there is literally none.

Mother of god, I am literally highlighting this group's humanity and bravery.

Well done but... nobody should mention what they did or why?

(That's kind of the opposite of celebrating what they're doing)

keenforhelp · 03/07/2024 18:05

AhNowTed · 03/07/2024 13:14

Many Palestinians have been saved by Israelis, from other violent marauding Israelis.

Fixed that for you.

Don't forget the Israelis saving other Israelis and EU diplomats from some violent, marauding Palestinians

@keenforhelp i dont understand what your second post has to do with this thread?

Mellowdramadrama · 03/07/2024 18:57

Did you even read the article?
The whole article calls the act of throwing stones as a form of resistance
It's normally something that would offend you, if shared by someone else.

keenforhelp · 03/07/2024 19:18

So you can all see there are more peaceful ways of opposing occupation rather than violence and terrorism .

Scirocco · 03/07/2024 19:24

So we're allowed to mention occupation now?

Mellowdramadrama · 03/07/2024 19:30

keenforhelp · 03/07/2024 19:18

That makes no sense. All you did was share a article that glorifies anti-occupation resistance by way of throwing stones.
It doesn't say anything, anywhere on what peaceful methods, the Palestinians themselves should adopt to oppose the occupation.

It might be that my native language is not English and I’m misunderstanding.

thread title : Jews helping Palestinians

comments of posters praising Jewish people.

keenforhelp : I’m offended at every thread that is for bashing Israelis

it might be that English is my 3rd language … I thought this thread was for praising Israelis.. but you still find an offend in it?

if your problem is that people are not happy with settlers , those that set fire to other peoples houses Then def you’re going to get offended with this thread. But not because it’s a thread to bash israelis. But because you want us to praise actions that go against our morality

Scirocco · 03/07/2024 22:57

I don't think you're misunderstanding, @EasterIssland .

EasterIssland · 03/07/2024 23:19

Thanks for the thread OP btw. To me another group that should be praised are some Israeli volunteers that have been trying for weeks to bring food into Gaza without much success as they weren’t allowed to go in.

I believed it was this ONG

https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-790863

Israeli NGO sends convoy of food to Gazans

"We will not stand idly by. On Thursday, we will all demand stopping the starvation in Gaza," the Israeli grassroots peace movement Standing Together stated.

Yup you are misunderstanding , dunno whether it is because English is your 3rd language .

This thread is just another thinly veiled attempt to criticise Israel .

Praise the work that some Israelis are doing despite the bad Israelis stopping them .

keenforhelp · 04/07/2024 02:11

Oh and by the way , saying Jews is offensive to us.
Also, not every Israeli is Jewish . 20 % are not.

nicetuchus · 04/07/2024 07:05

Oh great, another non-Jewish person starting a thread with "Jews" in the title.

Any chance you could change the title to "Jewish" OP. I can't even begin to tell you how triggering it is for many of us, especially those of us who grew up being on the receiving end of racist attacks. We get to use it, you don't.

Criticise Israel all you want, but all these threads highlighting 'good Jews' (not like those horrible ones) have such a sinister undertone.
