They had been accused for years but until this recent report came out they basically got everyone to look the other way.

The report detailed systematic, sadistic, and multi- perpetrator assaults on young children. These acts took place in community locations, including synagogues, forests, and cemeteries. He interviewed different girls who didn't know each other and they provided identical details naming the same perpetrators, locations, and methods.

There's a one hour long TV documentary about this that I don't have in me to watch.

Here's some sources detailing the recent Gush Etzion scandal (in hebrew; use a translator)

My pregnant wife was shot in the chest as she prepared to receive our first child.

I never imagined that I would write these words or live this nightmare.

My wife is in her fifth month of pregnancy, and she was trying to live simple moments of joy in the midst of the war. I went out that day to see some of the children's clothes and prepare the needs of our first baby that we are waiting for impatiently.

But instead of returning home carrying clothes for our child, she returned to the hospital soaked in her blood after being shot in the chest.

In moments our dreams and joy turned into fear and terror. We ran to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to check on her life and the life of our unborn child. Due to difficult conditions and lack of medical capabilities, doctors have not been able to remove the bullet, and it is still stable inside its chest until now.

If you were able to help or share our story with others, you would have given our family hope at a time when hope has become scarce

THANK YOU!

THIS! ^^^^^

They love trying to reframe it every time. They love to omit the fact that a significant portion of Israelis are not indigenous at all to the region. Many of them were brought over by organizations like Jewish Colonization Association. And yes that's a real organization. And yes thats the name they chose.

Not only is Kars4kids not a charity for needy children, it's actually an organization with deep ties to Israel. Specifically it's linked to Oorah in Israel. If you're unfamiliar with Oorah the only thing you need to know about them is that they'll fund trips to Israel for youth groups/students looking to take a gap year in Israel and contribute to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

K4k sends 60% of the money they receive to Oorah and the rest goes back into marketing. They even spent like $20 million on real estate purchases in Israel.

Now that the Flotilla members have been released and with those photos of brutal physical abuse and sexual assault, can we admit that there is no line they wouldn't cross. Let's be serious the israelis know that even attacking the "untouchable" ie people with european and american passports won't cut off the aid they get from the very countries the members come from. Its a message to peaceful advocates everywhere that they are not hesitant to treat you like palestinian prisoners. And i think the lib zionist reaction that this is "ben gvirs doing" is so fucking laughable. If the israeli government really disapproved they would arrest him. This faux condemnation of ben gvir is a distraction from the fact that hes been given greenlight to do whatever he wants bc israel is a settler colony. Their purpose is eradication of the indigenous people. There are no red lines.

The irony of this coming from Canary Mission.

And of course Canary Mission can't help but lie. The map is showing you ways to get involved in supporting Palestine. Protests and rallies etc

Canary Mission on the other hand targets actual civilians, posts their pictures, schools, jobs etc.

Most people on there are classified as antisemites simply for being at a pro Palestinian rally or joining the DSA. Zionazis love playing victim and crying when they get out on a map for being genocidal freaks

Just look at how it's described in 2026 (now), in 2016, in 2006 and in 2004 (below the cut).

one of said sources, Rashid Khalidi, is a former PLO spokesperson. like, actively produced propaganda in an official capacity for the PLO.

another of the sources claims that “as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible” was a position that “enjoyed the unanimous support of Zionists of all inclinations” (emphasis my own), which is just… an utterly batshit and easily-disproven statement for anyone who has ever met a Zionist (or for that matter, a Jew) or read the writings of the early Zionists.

Nahman Syrkin, socialist zionist, said that Palestine was “thinly populated, in which the Jews constitute today 10 percent of the population, must be evacuated for the Jews." B. Katznelson and Y. Kaufman, eds., Ketvei Nahman Syrkin [Writings of Nahman Syrkin].

Israel Zangwill, British zionist author and confidante of Herzl, in 1905 stated "[We] must be prepared either to drive out by the sword the [Arab] tribes in possession as our forefathers did or to grapple with the problem of a large alien population, mostly Mohammedan and accustomed for centuries to despise us." Speech delivered in April 1905, in Israel Zangwill, Speeches, Articles and Letters (London: The Soncino Press, 1937), p. 210

Zangwill wrote in the League of Nations Journal in 1919 that Palestinians “should be gradually transplanted” in Arab countries. In his book, The Voice of Jerusalem, in 1920. There, he advocated an “Arab exodus” that would be based on “race redistribution” or a “trek like that of the Boers from Cape Colony,” which he advocated as “literally the only ‘way out’ of the difficulty of creating a Jewish State in Palestine.” Masalha, Nur. 1992. Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of "Transfer" in Zionist Political Thought, 1882–1948

He also stated quite racistly, that "many [Palestinians] are semi-nomad, they have given nothing to Palestine and are not entitled to the rules of democracy."

Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote in 1925: “If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find a benefactor who will maintain the garrison on your behalf . . . Zionism is a colonizing adventure and, therefore, it stands or falls on the question of armed forces." Jabotinsky constantly disparaged anyone seeking a "peaceful" route to a jewish state by calling them "peace mongers."

Ben Gurion, first PM of Israel, in a meeting with the Jewish Agency Executive in 1936 said "If it was permissible to move an Arab from the Galilee to Judea, why it is impossible to move an Arab from Hebron to Transjordan, which is much closer? There are vast expanses of land there and we are over crowded….Even the High Commission agrees to a transfer to Transjordan if we equip the peasants with land and money. If the Peel Commission and the London Government accept, we’ll remove the land problem from the agenda. Flapan, Zionism and the Palestinians , p. 260, citing Protocols of the Executive meeting.

Also in 1936, Schmuel Shmuel Zuchovitzky (later Zakif), a leading figure in the agricultural sector and a member of the General Zionist Party Executive stated in a committee "I am convinced that it would be impossible to carry out transfer without compulsion. I do not see in this any immoral measure. I want to help the Jews to come to the Jewish state and to help the Arabs to cross to the Arab state. I know that these things are not so easy and involve a lot of difficulties …. And also [land] expropriation must be carried out." Compulsory transfer meant through the use of force. Protocol of the Jewish Agency Executive meeting of 12 June 1938.

Yosef Weitz, former director of the Jewish National Fund's Land Department, wrote in 1941 seeing “large [Arab] villages crowded in population and surrounded by cultivated land growing olives, grapes, figs, sesame, and maize fields . . . and once again I hear that voice inside me called: Evacuate this country” Another diary entry that same year: “They [the Arabs] are too many and too much rooted [in the country]… the only way is to cut and eradicate them from the roots.”

Weitz also wrote, "Amongst ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples in this country. No 'development' will bring us closer to our aim to be an independent people in this small country. After the Arabs are transferred, the country will be wide open for us; with the Arabs staying the country will remain narrow and restricted . . . The only way is to transfer the Arabs from here to neighbouring countries, all of them, except perhaps Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Old Jerusalem. Not a single village or a single tribe must be left. And the transfer must be done through their absorption in Iraq and Syria and even in Transjordan. For that goal, money will be found—even a lot of money. And only then will the country be able to absorb millions of Jews and a solution will be found to the Jewish question. There is no other solution."

I'm an antisemitic Turkish racefaker for saying genocide is bad and fighting to separate a genocidal ethnostate from Judaism.

But a REAL Jew is someone like Cecil who can't stop saying the N word, sending rape threats, and of course celebrating the death of innocent children.

Why?

Because when zionists say that calling out these horrificly disgusting events is antisemitic, and you follow that logic, it means that those israeli soldiers are doing these things BECAUSE they are jews.

I don't know how much simpler can this explanation get. If there is a bunch of men robbing a bank and someone says "they should be in jail for that" and another person is like "you're a mysandrist, a man-hater for saying that!" that very heavily implies that that person thinks they robbed the bank BECAUSE they are men. Because robbing a bank is such a uniquely, inherently male thing to do, that obviously they wouldn't be men if they couldn't rob banks and anyone questioning their "male culture" of robbing banks is just a man-hater, and under no circumstances can the bank robbery be discussed or condemned.

This rhetoric links these genocidal, murderous acts to being jewish, it says that mass murder, cruelty, apartheid is INHERENTLY JEWISH.

My dear friend Maram needs help! Her youngest son Ziad will be getting surgery to remove a metal plate and a cast from his arm. The whole procedure costs 1000 dollars. So far we've managed to raise a hundred but we still need your help 🙏 Please share this post, go donate and help Ziad fully recover!

You are directly harming your own cause.

Refusing to acknowledge the existence of the State of Israel doesn’t materially change the reality that Israel is a sovereign nation with over ten million citizens. When leftists in the west chant “from the river to the sea” and “we don’t want no two states”, regardless of the intention, what do you think Israelis hear? What do you think a people that has faced genocide in living memory, from which our population still has not recovered, gets from that? We don’t hear it and consider your points, we hear it and remember all of the times Israel has been attacked with genocidal intent, and only survived through our own defense.

And what does this ultimately result it? It results in Israelis who no longer believe in the peace process. It results in Israelis who feel a visceral sense of fear which leads to doubling down on national security. It leads to diaspora Jews feeling unsafe in their communities and immigrating to Israel.

Sorry but this is so dumb and no one other than your fellow Zionazis are going to entertain this take. This is basically the same "reason" colonizers gave for why ending the South African apartheid was a "bad idea"

why does Hezbollah (or any lebanese militia) even exist in the first place? if another country is attacking you and taking your land and killing your people, it's the job of government and army to defend the country. so why are they not doing that?

and even if government is bad, why isn't there push for defense from other citizens? why only Shias? vast majority of population do not care that their country is being invaded?

Honestly that's a pretty valid question.

The simple answer is that the Lebanese armed forces are really weak. The civil war + Israeli invasions pretty much shattered all state capacity. Check out Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk to get an understanding of how all this happened + some of the other books I mentioned.

But when a state is too weak to protect its people you end up getting resistance groups like Hezbollah and that's pretty much what happened. Southern Lebanon and it's Shia community were heavily neglected and offered little to no security by the LAF and that's where Hezbollah emerged. It's now actually more powerful than the state's security.

And while Hezbollah is amazing and the dominant resistance group, that doesn't mean non Shias haven't stood up. Look into Jammoul.

If you support Israel, genocide, IDF soldiers who go around raping and murdering people you're a modern day Nazi.
