#Israeli hostages

[unsolicited-opinions]

^^^^This^^^^

I figure there's definitely going to be a lot of Talk now with the ceasefire. So, here's some rules.

If you hate Jews, you're not allowed to say anything about the hostages. If you ever tore down a poster of the hostages, you're not allowed to say anything about the hostages. If you believed the posters were "Zionist propaganda," if you laughed at swastikas drawn on them, you're not allowed to talk about them.

If you ever told us they weren't important, that they deserve it, that they should die, you cannot talk about them. If you mocked their appearance, if you thought Hamas was nice for baking a cake, if you thought people should get over it, if you didn't believe them, if you rooted for their destruction, you cannot talk about them.

If you took our word, twisted it, and used Zionist as an insult, Zionazi, Zio (a term popularized by David Duke), if you started seeing sense with David Duke, Osama bin Laden, Sinwar, Hitler, because they were "anti-Zionist" You aren't allowed in our spaces. If you don't listen to us when we say anti-Zionism is jew hatred, if the only Jews you care about are JVP and Neturei Karta, you're not allowed in our spaces.

If you thought October 7th was justified, if you want to globalize the intifada, if you shouted From the river to the sea at us, if you put Sinwar and Hamas on a pedestal, if you don't acknowledge Hamas, and Hezbollah, and the Houthis, or any other terrorist group is a terrorist group, stay away from us. If you did a Nazi salute, drew swastikas, use the red triangle (a symbol used for marking which houses were going to be attacked on October 7), called for the final solution, praised Hamas for trying to finish what Hitler started, if you told us to go back to Europe (we know what you meant), if you saw any of this and you didn't say anything, stay away from us, and admit you're a Jew hater.

And if you're Islamophobic or believe Palestinians don't deserve rights, you can also shut up.

All of these are things I've actually seen, by the way.

(Does not apply to non-Zionists. Goyim are fine to interact, No Jew Haters.)

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. 🇵🇸

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.
