#Israeli Hostages

[hussyknee]

Not surprised but also

TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE MURDERED FOR THIS.

"We made an oopsie while shooting at all the other unarmed people trying to run away."

This genocide never has been about the hostages, never will be about the hostages.

Mind you, the IDF shot and killed three hostages today. (They spoke Hebrew and held up a white flag in surrender btw).

If you still think this is about the hostages you are gravely mistaken and your ignorance is profound. 🇵🇸

“They came in on humanitarian aid trucks!”

“This is a war crime!!!”

“They massacred 200+ people!”

It’s actually a war crime to take hostages babe. It’s also a war crime to kill people you take and/or attack civilians. All of October 7th was a war crime. You cannot enter another country and slaughter random civilians dancing at a rave. You cannot go door-to-door in a village and burn people alive. That’s a war crime.

On the other hand, it is not a war crime to attack an entity involved in war, even if it would normally be a crime to do so. For example: attacking a refugee camp is not a war crime when the “refugees” are hiding hostages. If a hospital is being used as a base for terrorists, the hospital is now legally fair game for war. When we have satellite videos of Hamas members driving UN vehicles and operating out of an UNRWA building, those vehicles and that building are up for grabs.

They will literally video themselves wearing press vests while firing rockets into Israel. But if they die, they won’t be reported as a combatant death. The headlines will read “Israel Kills Member of Gazan Press”. And people eat it up.

At this point people have two options:

1. You’re a sheep. You do no real research. You follow blindly.

2. You’re a Jew hater. You are antisemitic.

Which one is it? Maybe a combo of both.

Did not rescue the Israeli hostages:

1) the UN

2) the ICJ

3) NGOs

4) any world government besides Israel, including the countries whose own citizens are hostages

5) the Free Palestine movement

7) college campus encampments

8) keyboard warriors

9) calls for a “ceasefire”

10) anyone who calls themselves an “anti-Zionist”

Did rescue the Israeli hostages:

1) Israel

2) the IDF

Why would we ever listen to anyone in that first category? Listening to them means we die. Ignoring them and rescuing each other means we live. It’s that simple. Don’t you dare moralize at us and lecture us while sentencing us to death. If you’re not going to lift a finger to save us, get the fuck out of our way.

So yes, I support Israel and the IDF, the entities that actually save the lives of Jews - the only entities in the world that do so. And I will never, ever be ashamed of that. And if I became ashamed of that, the world would still let me get kidnapped and leave me to rot for being a Jew, so 🤷‍♀️

During her arrest, Ayesh was subjected to assault, threats, and insults by Israeli soldiers, according to the Addameer human rights organisation. She was transferred to Israel’s Hasharon Prison before being later taken to Damon Prison, where she is now being held.

Ayesh’s work as a human rights defender rose to the fore during her time at the Ramallah-based Lawyers for Justice, representing Palestinian political detainees in PA prisons. In July, she attended a session on behalf of the group at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.

Tala Nasser, from the Addameer prisoners’ rights group, explained that Ayesh’s arrest comes amid a “violent mass arrest campaign” carried out by Israel since October 7.

The fact that the vast majority of the more than 6,900 Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7 have been transferred to administrative detention highlights the arbitrariness of Israel’s arrests, she said.

“This campaign includes activists, human rights defenders and political leaders,” Nassar told Al Jazeera, noting that it is “an attempt to silence them and prevent the exposure of the occupation’s crimes across the whole country”.

In December, Israeli forces also arrested political and civil society leader Khalida Jarrar, who was similarly transferred to administrative detention.

Despite releasing all but three Palestinian female detainees during the latest prisoner exchange with Hamas at the end of 2023, the Israeli army rearrested dozens. Some 80 female prisoners are being held today, all of whom are in the Damon Prison.

Among the 80 are dozens of women from the besieged Gaza Strip, but lawyers are forbidden from visiting them or knowing anything about them.

Several reports have emerged of female detainees from Gaza being physically beaten and abused, including an unknown number of them being held at Israeli military bases and not in prison.

Lawyers say conditions for all Palestinian detainees, including women, are unprecedentedly difficult. Eight Palestinian male prisoners have also died or were killed in Israeli custody since October 7, most of them in the days and weeks after their arrest.

Over the past few months, many videos have emerged of Israeli soldiers stripping, torturing and abusing male prisoners from both the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

“It is important to note that every female that is arrested is violated in one way or another,” said Nasser. “They are all facing threats, intensive strip searches, verbal assault and physical violence.”

Today, the first thing I noticed stepping off the tramway in my childhood city were the policemen. I didn't think anything of it because they're often around. It was pouring and I was focused on staying dry under the tram stop.

Then I saw the small crowd of maybe 50, 100 people in mostly black, with a few yellow umbrellas here and there, standing in the open with their backs to the square. I quickly googled if it was what I thought it was, and I walked over there in the torrential rain.

Story after story of horror, of trauma, of sexual assault, of dead loved ones were being told on a small microphone, just loud enough to rise above the rain - a young woman's husband who jumped on a grenade for her; the 81 year old Holocaust survivor who only now remembers what she went through as a baby, because she went through it again. There were only a few signs - just pictures with a big KIDNAPPED above it. Most people there were older, but I saw kids too, a little boy my brother's age with a black kippa with Hebrew all around it.

We did a minute of silence at the end. The whole thing was quiet, solemn and unobtrusive. Most people passing by the square probably didn't notice.

Only after I stepped out did I see the policemen again, and understand why they were there. Because even this, the smallest possible acknowledgement of Jewish and Israeli suffering in a big French city carried enough risk to warrant their presence.

But all along I knew why it was pouring when I arrived, and why it slowed just as the gathering ended: the heavens were crying with them.

Am Yisrael Chai.

May the hostages come home. May all of you dance again.

Still can't belive Israel has killed more of their own hostages than hamas has. This shit is wild. And some of yall still think this is about October 7th.

[casavanse]

I really wanna scream.

What's going on in tumblr right now is making me sick.

Noah Marciano, an Israeli hostage, has died.

Hamas has posted a video of her, claimed to be from the fourth day of war. We know she was alive. We know Hamas had her alive.

Killing a hostage is a war crime. Did you know that?

Why does nobody talks about it? Why when you thought that Israel bombed a hospital (which they obviously didnt) it was on the news and trending the in a moment, but when Hamas kills a hostage it goes unknown?

You oppose war crimes? Start with admitting that Hamas are committing them.

You say you aren't antisemitic. You say you oppose war crimes.

But you are silent when a hostage dies.

Let's be honest, all right? If Israel had palestinian hostages, and they would kill one of them, you wouldn't shut up about it. You would say they committed a war crime.

Why are you silent now?

May her memory be a blessing.

I never want to hear the phrase “collective liberation” from people who think the Israeli/Jewish hostages should have just been left to rot in literal captivity, ever again.
