#Fuck Hamas

There are a lot of people in the notes advocating for a repeat of the Reign of Terror.

The lesson of the pecking order shit above, and of the Reign of Terror and its wannabes in the notes, is that the only difference between many of them and many of us is who currently holds the guillotine.

Harming others because you don't see them as real people is the problem, not the solution.

you know, it’s amazing. people have been spreading lies about us for over 3,000 years. lies, as in shit that ISNT TRUE. that never was true even when it was spread as complete, concrete fact.

so maybe this time the shit being spewed about jews and by extension, the ONE jewish country…isn’t true either.

hmm. something to consider.

Vogue Greece picked an Israeli model Sun Mizrahi to be on the cover of their “Mediterranean Touch” and their followers got really angry.

“Posting an Israeli model on your cover in the midst of current world events is an extremely tone deaf decision and it really does beg the question whether you are able to read the room” one commentator said. “This is not what Israelis look like” another one added.

This is just a radicalized and panicked whitewashing of Israel to fit an insane narrative that Israelis are all White.

They essentially ask Vogue to not show the world that Israelis are Middle Eastern people. And since it annoys them so much, I decided to post it here too 😘

Six hostages were found murdered in Hamas tunnels under Rafah, and initial IDF reports say they were likely killed only a day or two before their bodies were recovered. These six precious souls managed to hold on for almost an entire year in the horrors of Hamas captivity, counting on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to end the war and bring them home to their families, but for eleven months, the world has instead turned its backs on the hostages in Gaza and emboldened their captors. Netanyahu and his cronies have blood on their hands. Sinwar, Abbas, and every other Palestinian leader who continues to promote false narratives about Israel and encourage violence against Jews have blood on their hands. The UN, the Red Cross and other so-called “humanitarian” NGOs who have aided Hamas terrorists have blood on their hands. Privileged western leftists who have emboldened Hamas with their unabashed Jew hate and calls to “globalize the intifada” have blood on their hands.

In Judaism, the phrase we usually say for those who have died is zichronam livrachah, may their memories be a blessing. But there is another phrase which we use when our people are murdered so brutally and senselessly like these six hostages whose loved ones will never get to hold them again. We say: Hashem yikom damam. May Hashem avenge their blood.

Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Almog, Ori, and Alexander, we will never forget you. You were loved, you were valued, and you deserved so much better. You should be alive and home with your families. May your captors and your murders face swift justice and never know a minute of peace. May no more families experience the enormity of devastation and grief that your families are feeling today after nearly a year of screaming and fighting to bring you home.

Fuck Hamas. Fuck Netanyahu. End this war and bring the hostages home. 🎗️

I empathize with the Palestinian people.

They were failed by their elected government, and now that same elected government is using them as human shields.

They have been failed.

I don't think people realize the number of rockets that have been fired at Israeli civilians daily for the past year: over 23,000!

These rockets were fired from over 5 countries, sometimes simultaneously. Over 150 rockers were fired today alone, and it's only 3PM here. People die almost every day from these rockets, let alone the daily terror attacks. Western & Arabic media outlets simply don't cover most of this.

my all-time favorite Palestinian activist

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Hamza Howidy (@hamzahowidyy)

"I think [reaching Greece in an overcrowded boat no one knew how to drive] was one of the happiest moments in my life, because I survived. And I stayed in Greece -- and I was supposed to stay there to apply for my asylum and get my life there.

"Unfortunately, with the atrocities of October the 7th and my activism, the threats I received when I was in Greece by some radical pro-Palestinian folks, I decided to leave.

"And based on a friend's recommendation, I decided to go to Germany because it's somehow considered safer than the other European countries and there is somehow enough space for a free speech here."

"Voicing dissent [in Gaza] was not an option. Hamas has a no tolerance policy for criticism or objections to any of its policies. Even discussion is forbidden.

"Any journalist who objects or criticizes a policy is suspended and investigated. Demonstrations are strictly prohibited. Freedom of speech in Gaza is a fantasy.

"The dirtiest tool Hamas uses to silence citizens is character assassination through online campaigns accusing dissenters of working for hostile bodies or committing immoral acts.

"Hamas also routinely breaks into the homes of people deemed disloyal and humiliates them in front of their family and neighbors.

"...A huge social gap opened between the wealthy elite who belong to Hamas and the rest of the population who were increasingly living in driving poverty. Public sector jobs were limited to Hamas members, and taxes were increasing on necessities day by day, even as the cost of living skyrocketed.

"Many of us could no longer bear it. I was one of them.

"Though we knew dissenters were subject to imprisonment, torture, and even murder, in 2019, a few of us decided to join forces and form a protest to voice our opposition to Hamas. We called it the 'We Want to Live' demonstration.

"Our demonstration elicited an extreme reaction by Hamas. They violently cracked down on the protests and we were all arrested.

"I will never forget my first day in jail—walking up the steps listening to screams of my colleagues, most of them fellow students, who had been arrested before me. I was held under arrest for 21 days and subjected to various types of torture. I was beaten with batons and sprayed with cold water in the late winter night hours.

"My friends didn't fare much better. A Christian friend was in the next cell and I could hear them screaming at him, 'You are a Christian and you don't like the situation? Then go to another country!'

"After we were released, most of those who participated in the demonstrations emigrated away from Gaza. There was no hope for any change in the current situation. We suffered ongoing harassment by Hamas members.

"Some died trying to leave, like Tamer Al-Sultan, a pharmacist whose crime was asking for a reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah. [The political party of the Palestinian president, which Hamas violently kicked out of Gaza in a 2007 coup.]

"People's living conditions got worse. The wealth gap expanded even further. We protested again in 2023 and were crushed in the same manner as in 2019.

"I was arrested again by Hamas last year and held for 14 days, this time in a small cell with no bed, no window, and barely enough space to sit down. I was released on bail on the condition that I not take part in any further demonstrations.

"I still expressed my opinion occasionally on social media, but the arrest warrants after each post and the continuous threats from Hamas members and accusations of treason made me lose hope that I could make any kind of change.

"I left Gaza in August [2023] to seek a better future for myself and my family."

"I know firsthand that when ordinary Gazans like myself protested against Hamas, there was no media attention.

"No human rights organizations demanded the release of prisoners held for months in Hamas prisons, not to mention those who were tortured by Hamas, and even killed by Hamas—like Issam Al-Saaffein, who was killed under torture in Hamas's jails.

"This trend has continued during the present war. Since October 7, hundreds of Gazans have been killed by Hamas' failing rockets. Hamas has confiscated the food, fuel, and medicine sent to Gaza, and they did not stop here.

"13-year-old Ahmad Breka was shot in the head by Hamas in Rafah while attempting to collect humanitarian aid. Others were fortunate because they were merely shot in the legs by Hamas while attempting to grab humanitarian goods that Hamas stole and kept in their facilities.

"These inhumane acts, along with the agony that Gazans have undergone since October, prompted many to demonstrate anew during this war. They demonstrated in Khan-Younis in front of Yahya Sinwar's house; others protested in the north, asking that Hamas free the captives and cease the war.

"They received the same response from Hamas that I did: They were fired upon.

"And once again, the global media largely overlooked these crimes.

"Daring to take some food in the midst of a war or protesting Hamas isn't the only activity Hamas has persecuted us Gazans for; attempting to play any part of delivering this aid to those in need, or even considering playing any role the day after the war, is enough to get anybody the death penalty from Hamas.

"That's what happened to the Abu-Amro tribe leader, along with two members of his tribe who were killed by Hamas militants a few days ago.

"A couple of months ago, they beheaded the head of a clan leader in the north of Gaza and issued a statement on social media: 'We murdered him, and we will do so to anyone who stands against us and cooperates with Israel.'

"Others who publicly criticized Hamas during the war were reported missing."

Here's a controversial opinion that really shouldn't be:

Palestinians have the right to live in their homeland (or any other land) with security and dignity.

Israelis and Diaspora Jews also have the right to live in their homeland (or any other land) with security and dignity.

These need not and should not be contradictory positions, because the entire point of human rights is that they're universal, and if they're not, then they're not rights, just privileges, and you don't really believe in human rights at all.

this is part of what i was talking about re: ben gurion and the misquoting.

[pettytiredandjewish]

Honestly fuck every one who supports Hamas. And fuck every one who is using this war as a reason to openly hate/attack Jewish and Israeli people. From the bottom of my heart- fuck you.

[arunswild]

I don't really know what to say. This morning I got the news that six of the hostages were found dead, recently shot. I know the family of one of them, and they are the bravest and most resilient people I know. They gave me, and, well, everyone hope that their son would be back. I fully believed he would. Everyone did. I guess we just expected him to turn up one day at synagogue after all this time.

There are a few thoughts going through my head right now. Most of them start with the word "why", like,

Why did a 23 year old spend 11 out of the 12 months of his 23rd year in a tunnel?

Why do baby-murdering, hostage-taking, house-burning militias live two hours away from my house?

and

Why do I, an 18 year old, fresh out of highschool, know three dead people, ranging in ages from 19 to 32?

Some of them start with the words "what", like

What are they going to do now?

What awful, awful heartbreak am I going to hear about next?

and

What the fuck?

Former hostage Noa Argamani attends the funeral of her mother after she passed away from stage 4 terminal brain cancer.

Liora Argamani passed away just 2 weeks after her daughter’s rescue- with her last wish being to see her daughter one last time after she was held hostage for 8 months.

Speaking at the funeral, Noa said:

“Against all odds, I was fortunate to be with you in your final moments, to talk with you, laugh with you, and hear your last words.

Thank you for being strong and holding on all this time, just so I could see you at least one more time. Just so Dad wouldn't be left alone.”

[notaplaceofhonour]

thinking of the meta irony of queer western leftists putting the 🔻 symbol, which hamas uses to mark their targets, on their profiles and outfits to show their support for hamas. they aren’t just supporting the leopards eating people’s faces party, they are actively writing “leopards, eat me” on their faces.

whether you know it or not, hamas knows it, and they are laughing: you are willingly marking yourselves for death to follow them.

Friendly reminder that JEWS ARE INDIGENOUS TO ISRAEL. GET OVER IT. Shove that between your fucking river and sea.
