#TERRORISM

"Hamas is a terrorist organisation that terrorises, more than anyone, it's own people..."

"The removing of them [Hamas] is not going to be pretty. Not because the Israeli army enjoys slaughtering civilians, but because Hamas, unprecedented really in military history, has spent almost twenty years and enormous amounts of money stolen from foreign aid entrenching itself... building tunnels, that exceed the London tube system, under Gaza, putting weapon stocks in schools, and using its own civilian population as a shield ... as a sacrifice"

"Their incentive is to maximize deaths on their own side. this is a very perverse situation... what Hamas does is they go across the border, slaughter, rape and torture Israeli civilians and then hide behind their own people and say 'oh you can't touch us!'"

"they use international law, they reverse engineer international law, in order to use it as a shield for their own atrocities. either you allow this to continue or someone has to remove them and clear the way for some better government and the clearing the way is not going to be a pretty process- they've guaranteed that"

"The basic (colonial) double standard of the Israel Palestine 'conflict' is that any Palestinian violence justifies any Israeli violence, but no Israeli violence ever justifies any Palestinian violence, and once you see it, you'll never stop seeing it." - Aaron Bady

I'm still in shock.

Our Holocaust museum has just released a statement mourning the death of my colleague, Alex Dancyg. That's how I just found out that he and another hostage have been confirmed as having been killed months ago in Hamas captivity, and their bodies are still held hostage.

We just observed Alex's 76th birthday yesterday, not knowing he will forever be 75 years old.

Alex was born in Poland in 1948, to parents who had survived the Holocaust. He was a peace supporter. He was a man of humor, and a lover of Yiddish. He was a husband, father and grandpa. He was a farmer with a deep connection to the land. He was passionate about learning in general, and loved sharing his knowledge generously with everyone he knew. He had heart problems and was not receiving his medications from Hamas. He was a true educator about the Holocaust, helping to establish youth trips to Poland, to teach the youth about the horrors of the genocide against the Jews that took place there, but also about Jewish life in Poland before all hell broke loose. He was an educator against the kind of hatred that led to the Holocaust. It's hard to accept that this type of hatred killed him, too.

Goodbye, Alex. May your memory be a blessing. Actually, I know it will be. You'll forever be with us. 💔

Diversity win: this antisemitic mob is multicultural

[stopmakingliberalslookbad]

Principles that so-called "leftists" have abandoned since October 7th

Being against religious fundamentalism: You guys used to think that fundamentalism was a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, you still believe that OTHER religions that are fundamentalist are bad, but Muslim right wing religious fundamentalism is very much okay with you. When you express support for religious fundamentalist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Islamic Republic, you are supporting suppression against women, LGBT people, and Jews (though the latter doesn't bother you at all). These are not resistance groups, they are terror groups.

Anti-racism: Mocking Israeli accents is suddenly funny to you. Jews aren't oppressed any more and antisemitism isn't as important as other forms of ethnic hate. It's okay to discriminate against people based on where they're from (the treatment of twenty year old Eden Golan is a particularly disgusting example). Indigeneity expires if you're Jewish. You support land back efforts for everyone but Jews. You employ the noble savage stereotype against Palestinians, because "That's just their way!" Holocaust inversion and even denial? NBD. Jews are trying to take over the world and are bloodthirsty monsters who support genocide. And the blatant tokenization is horrific. Some of you have even used the expression "Good Jews".

Being against ethnic cleansing: You bleat about the non-existent "genocide" in Palestine (and it is NOT a genocide according the the actual definition of the word), but your only solution is to ethnically cleanse Jews from the Middle East instead of supporting the two state solution.

Anti-nationalism: Jewish nationalism is bad. Arab nationalism is good. There are 22 Arab states and over fifty Muslim states, but even the two state solution in which there would be 22 Arab states, over fifty Muslim states and one Jewish state isn't enough, because Jews bad. Arab and Muslim conquest and imperialism? It's a good thing, ackchuyally!

Belief in science: Genetic studies prove that all ethnic Jews (yes, that includes Ashkenazi Jews) are indigenous to the Levant, but you guys seem to believe that we fell out of the sky. Archaeology proves that Jews were there first, but those findings are "fake" according to you.

Once again, I am asking why are you guys willing to sacrifice your principles for Palestine?

Blame To Share

Just the other day, I was rejoicing at the news that one of the hostages -- Qaid Farhan Al-Qaid -- had been redeemed from Hamas captivity. Today, I mourned the news that at least six more hostages, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, were found dead -- reportedly executed by Hamas moments before their rescue. First and foremost, responsibility for these deaths falls on the heads of those who kidnapped and murdered them. Hamas has agency, and this is how it has chosen to exercise it. But past that, there is plenty of blame to share. Blame falls in part on Bibi Netanyahu and his blood-soaked government, who have displayed reckless disregard for the lives of Israeli hostages in order to prolong their ruinous bombardment of Gaza and potentially stave off their political reckoning for a little while longer. Blame falls in part on those who've cheer-led a never-ending Israeli assault on Gaza, taking the mantra of "Bring Them Home" -- in Israel, a plea to concentrate on securing the well-being of the hostages -- and converting it into a chant for a war of indefinite duration with no plan of exit. Blame falls in part on those who pronounced themselves "exhilarated" by the "great victory" of October 7 and have made clear their desire to see it happen again, and again, and again, at every chance and opportunity, regardless of the costs it exacts on Israeli and Palestinian innocents alike. There's blame enough to go around, and one would be tempted to say that those who share the blame deserve one another. But more often than not, it is not they who reap the consequences of their reckless bloodlust. It is innocents, countless innocents, Israeli and Palestinian alike, of whom Goldberg-Polin is only the most recent. May his, and their, memory be a blessing. via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/g7SDr8N

IDF: “We are the most moral army in the world.”

Guys, you literally bombed a church full of nuns.

One of the most haunting and tragic aspects of the September 11 attacks was the sight of people jumping from the burning towers of the World Trade Center. Faced with an impossible choice between being consumed by fire or falling to their deaths, these victims chose the latter.

Witnesses on the ground and in nearby buildings watched in horror as, one by one, people fell from the upper floors of the towers. While most jumped alone, there were reports of a few holding hands as they fell. In a particularly poignant moment, one woman was seen trying to hold down her skirt as she jumped, a final act of dignity in the face of certain death.

These individuals, often referred to as the "forgotten victims" of September 11, have been largely left out of the broader narrative of the attacks. While their deaths were captured in photographs and videos, the media and authorities quickly moved to downplay or avoid showing these images. There was a reluctance to focus on the jumpers, perhaps due to the visceral, unsettling nature of their deaths. Unlike the firefighters and other first responders whose bravery is rightfully honored, the jumpers were not discussed in depth, and few efforts were made to identify them.

Estimates suggest that at least 200 people jumped from the towers, with some estimates placing the number higher. The first jumpers were seen shortly after American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower at 8:46AM., and the grim scenes continued until the tower collapsed 102 minutes later. These people had been trapped above the impact zone, where the intense heat and smoke left them with no viable means of escape. Many of the jumpers came from the upper floors, where the fire was most intense and where rescue seemed impossible.

The stories of those who jumped from the towers remain a tragic reminder of the human suffering endured on that day. The lack of attention given to their deaths has, for some, added to their sense of being forgotten. However, these victims—who made the heartbreaking choice to end their lives rather than wait for death—deserve to be remembered with the same reverence as those who died in other ways.

On top of being shot at and starved, Palestinians are not given a moment of peace because of the constant buzzing of drones

Y’all are showing that it was never about hUmAn RiGHts with the fact that no one here has an issue with Iran being in the olympics.

“The British would’ve called the Founding Fathers terrorists.”

Speculation. The British did not and could not have called the Founding Fathers terrorists because that was not a word or concept at the time of the American Revolutionary War. This is a made up “what if” scenario with no historical basis.

Irrelevant. Whether the Crown would have called American Revolutionaries “terrorists” has no relevance to whether modern day acts of terrorism are terrorism.

What we “call terrorism” today is people strapping bombs to themselves and their children to blow up buses, hijacking planes to fly them into buildings, shooting up schools, music venues, and places of worship, randomized violence against non-military targets, taking civilians hostage. We call these terrorism because they fit the bill of terrorism by nearly every possible definition of the word:

The American Revolutionaries’ guerrilla-esque tactics may have been seen by the British as “unfair” or “uncivilized”, but they were not terrorism. Shooting up music venues, beheading & mutilating civilian victims by hand, hunting down and executing children, and taking hostages are not comparable to ambushing troops in the woods.
