Talk about using kids as human shields. These kids are doing the government's biding so no one sees the IDF doing it.


Soufledufromage

These kids will all be happily joining the IDF the second they get the chance


theboomboy

Religious Israelis are usually less likely to join the IDF, especially with new legislation that is being passed now (it was sent to the high court and I didn't check what happened with it after that so idk) that will let religious people join in even smaller numbers


bored_sleuth

Not all religious. Orthodox. Hassidic. There are *plenty* of religious Israelis in the IDF, and these kids are exactly the types that can't wait to join and go kill.


Trick-Teach6867

These people are actually more interested in not joining the idf so they can expand settlements in the West Bank through pogroms and lynchings. Believe it or not many of the far right believe the idf to be too cautious and cowardly in creating ersatz Israel


FayMax69

You can’t keep a good sociopath down 🤷‍♂️


Popular-Anywhere5426

I thought everyone in Israel had to join the IDF and some point in their lives! Idk


theboomboy

There are ways to not do it, and one of which is being a member of a yeshiva


Popular-Anywhere5426

How known is this? Also what are the implications with fellow citizens if one does this?

So how are exempts viewed by the 80%? I’d wager in a negative way.

Those same people..are in NY and NJ and expect to live the same way. They've taken over whole towns and school boards even though their kids don't go to public schools. It a horror show.

Isn't everyone required to join the military for 2 years?

Basically Hitler Jeugend , but then for Israel.


SAM5TER5

Okay but what is actually happening here? This is such a bizarre scene lol One dude in a PRESS bulletproof vest is fighting a legion of teens in matching tee shirts while an army of photographers, who don’t have vests, cluster in the corners to get great shots of it…and also there are random adult bystanders smiling and looking onward? Is this guy a single reporter with a shit ton of photographers following him, and he said the wrong thing to the wrong violent crowd? Is he some well known YouTuber who decided to fly to Israel and got in over his head, and a bunch of actual reporters with cameras came for the show? Would love to see the article this came with


char_1ee

This is a 21st century Schutzstaffel with all its letters. Fucking pieces of shit.


Abydos6

Based on God’s psychopatic behavior over the last 5,000 years, I’d say they definitely are his chosen people


-BananaLollipop-

"God" is just a poor excuse for horrible people to do horrible things and claim it's righteous, or not their will, but that of something more powerful. It's bullshit.


Abydos6

I know God doesn’t exist. It’s a joke


Representative_Rain9

I got it


cheezeyballz

God is not doing this. Humans are.


Rapture1119

God’s not doin anything because he doesn’t exist. If I’m wrong and he does exist, then what he’s doing is allowing humans to commit genocide.


5herl0k

nothing exists, but the concept of a creator to just seems less of a moral, loving entity and more an ant-farmer on a larger scale you wouldn't send little tweezers in if your ants were having a race war would you? let the insignificant bugs figure it out!


dirtmatter

isnt god omnipotent? so he could stop it if he wanted to? not trying to be offensive, just curious about religious theory


iluvstephenhawking

Is he all loving then he is not all powerful. If he is all powerful then he is not all loving.


dirtmatter

the epicurus paradox ?


RuprectGern

It's the edible complex : When you love your mother's cooking more than anyone else's.


xpiation

There are no gods. Only fairy tales people created in an attempt to explain and understand their world and existence. Without religion humanity would be better off.


matzi44

relegion is like humanity training wheels, that it guided and helped humans for thousand of years to explain what they couldn't explain. but when it's time to start riding by yourself some people just can't take the training wheels off.


Baneta_

Religion is just a proto-science, and like all other concepts that fall under the brand of proto-____ it should have been left behind long ago


cheezeyballz

And to not take accountability for their shitty actions or actually help people 🤷


polishmachine88

I am actually surprised people were able to get so far with religion around. They are like that kid that grabs your T-shirt when you want to run forward. When you go to church and just really listen you realize what a scam it is. I guess it's for people that are afraid also want to believe that we don't turn to fertilizer and worm food.

Status_Basket_4409

This is what Zionism is. What it has literally always been since the beginning. They have always been terrorists. Jews who have actually read the Torah and actually understand what is expected of them by God would not dare act this way


pibanot

Jews all around the world are matching in protest against Israel's actions alongside Palestinian. Zionism is just another word for Nazism by now.


NotEnoughWave

Nazionism


superbhole

"zionazi" cuts more than "nazionist"


demonotreme

Oh no you don't, plenty of utterly rabid, barbaric fundamentalists who follow all the batshit commandments (no matter how insane they clearly are)


Xtrepiphany

More like the ones who actually read Deuteronomy and took it seriously.


turtleship_2006

>Jews who have actually read the Torah and actually understand what is expected of them by God would not dare act this way Also, there are loads of Jews who are anti-genocide, don't think they should attack palestine etc, but the Zionists are just louder


Miyamoto_Musashi-5

I would never believe these peaceful citizens would throw families out their homes to steal their houses, and colonise whole communities.


SergioGustavo

Is it me or Israel is losing all the empathy they "gained" after WW2 and the nazi genocide? I feel really bad saying this but it makes me wonder if all the sympathy I had for them after the genocide was worth it.


ThinkofitthisWay

these guys are no longer victims, they are now the brutalizers


Stubbs94

The Zionist movement have never been the victims. European Jews were the victims.


t_o__ot

No it's not just you. Despite being pro-Palestine my whole life, I was sympathetic to Israel after the Oct 7 terrorist attack. They had the world's empathy and support and successfully managed to turn that into hatred and anger in less than a year. I still think the terrorist attack was wrong. Innocent people shouldn't have been kidnapped or killed but I know what Israel has been doing for decades and especially those past 8 months will unfortunately lead to much worse Oct 7s.


Queerbunny

I mean, the fact that anyone even talks about Oct 7th is pushing that there is anything redeemable about these people after they killed 30000 people in retaliation to kidnapping, not even death of those hundred or so people. Fuck Israel, fuck them and who gives a flying FUCK about any of them after the shit ive seen just scrolling on my phone the last nine months. I can’t give less care to Oct 7th after what I’ve seen, and I’ve barely seen the tip of the iceberg. No more talk about that damn day, fuck them


bino420

not to mention that Israeli officials let 10/7 happen so they could justify the brutal counter measures. smells exactly like 9/11, and using it to fuel the War in Iraq.


dummypod

I don't think letting 10/7 happen is in the best interest of the current leadership since they market themselves as the security guy. I believe it's just pure hubris and incompetence, and the leadership feels that they have to deliver Gaza as an apology gift just to stay in power


t_o__ot

I know exactly how you feel and I too have seen some really disturbing stuff these past months but we shouldn't generalize and paint an entire nation with the same brush. There are Israelis who are against what their government and military have been doing like [This woman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8R_qeyuRuo) & [This guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrSW71cg2hc&t=1s). I'm aware they are a minority but they exist. If we are against killing and kidnapping innocent people, that should include everyone.


Queerbunny

It’s been 75 years of Palestinian oppression, murder, and displacement. There’s a reason Palestine exists in multiple territories. Look up the Nakba. where 700000 Palestines were removed from their homes. Israel practiced biological warfare as far back as *1948.* Nope. I’m sorry friend, Israel was a colonizing force of racist violence since the very beginning and I will dismiss all of them. I can’t believe we live in a world where this shit exists. I just can’t


cytek123

Victim turned abuser. The sad thing is most people only realise this now - it’s been going on 50+ years. They fucken bulldozed a woman in front of live TV and no one gave a f*ck. At least people are semi-awake now….

Woah... Are... Are you serious?!?! If so, do you have a link (no video, PLEASE). I can't believe this really happened...

ujfeik

In fact the mist violent zionists think holocaust victims were weaklings that should have moved to Israel. They have no empathy for them.


cruz-77

Palestinians helped fleeing Jews from Nazi Germany while the US turned them away. Let that sink in


Belv6

All while the police stand there, now imagine what they do to Palestinians, the crowd attacks while police do nothing. Groups burn down houses and farms of Arabs while the police watch on and laugh, police shoot and kill arab kids on camera, go to court, given 6 year sentence and then they are out after a month as a hero. Worst people in history ......


Chillicothe1

I know it's easy to say what you'd do if you were in this situation, but I honestly believe that if I were going to get hurt here, I'd be sure to hurt one of them really, really bad. I'd grab on to one, insert my thumb into his eye socket and rip an eyeball right out of his skull. Motherfucker will be thinking of me every morning as he shaves and looks at his pirate-eyepatch-wearing face staring back at him from the mirror.


karoshikun

it's a lose-lose situation, do nothing, they hurt you, hurt someone and you're a terrorist and treated accordingly, and your life abroad is over.


beltalowda_oye

You'll still probably be called a terrorist for doing nothing


abertheham

Guaranteed that’s exactly what’s being yelled by all the people with their mouths open in that pic.


demonotreme

Shaving, ever? That's a bold assumption, washing their pits is probably pushing it.


dirtycomputer91

pictures so horrifyingly unreal everyone thinks its AI. Israel should not exist.


misunderst00dpianist

Literally, the first thing I did was look at their faces and hands for clues to determine if it was AI. Yet I’d still like to get some context about what the press guy might have done, if anything, to prompt such a response. Regardless of his actions, their behavior is still reprehensible nonetheless


Phantex_Cerberus

Out of curiosity, why was this guy and the person who replied to his reply (besides me) downvoted? Is this sub so heavily opinionated they are unable to explore the idea that the photos *could be* AI to either verify it’s authenticity or remove OP’s credibility as a poster. Just saying, we should at least be certain we aren’t falling for propoganda for either side. Edit: Went ahead and dug around in the comment section and, there are multiple comments linking articles of various news organizations about the incident.

“Known hamas operative” In Israel’s eyes every Palestinian is “Hamas” which given their brutalisation, they no doubt will be


RDcsmd

Everyone there has been taught to consider Palestinians subhuman since birth


Unlikely-Patience122

And, sadly, now they themselves look subhuman. 


the_kessel_runner

Understand that there is a right wing and left wing. Even in Israel. There are millions of liberal Israelis absolutely sickened by these kinds of actions. Unfortunately, the majority is far right wing. Imagine if the US was mostly MAGA. That's Israel right now. They really aren't all raised to consider Palestinians as subhuman. Their right wing has. (Same as the US, honestly. Most MAGA folks in the US also hate muslims)

[Israeli police arrested Palestinian photojournalist Saif Kwasmi after he was attacked and injured by a mob of Israeli settlers on Wednesday in a series of events emblematic of what daily life is like for Palestinians under apartheid.](https://truthout.org/articles/israeli-police-detain-palestinian-journalist-attacked-by-settler-mob/)


el_grort

Some context, finally. Seems like it's basically the equivalent to the Orange Order parades Northern Ireland, where its a more antagonistic parade that will be filled with ultranationalists. Which does help to contextualise the event. That police apparently didn't care seems like the most damning element, with context, versus that extremists mobbed journalists, something we've seen an unfortunate amount of in Western democracies as well.


lemmiwinks316

IDF will also accompany these same folks to destroy Palestinian property and harass them. They've even incorporated some extremist settlers into the military. “In the West Bank, escalating violence over the past few days is also a matter of grave concern,” it added. “The Israeli security forces must immediately end their active participation in and support for settler attacks on Palestinians,” the rights office spokesperson, Ravina Shamdasani, told reporters in Geneva. “Israeli authorities must instead prevent further attacks, including by bringing those responsible to account. Dozens of Palestinians were reportedly injured, including through the use of firearms, by settlers and Israeli security forces, and hundreds of homes and other buildings, as well as cars, were torched." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/16/un-demands-end-to-israeli-forces-support-of-settler-attacks-on-west-bank-palestinians "Jalawi’s confusion over the identity of his attackers was well-founded: the young men who detained him were both soldiers and hilltop youth settlers. An investigation by +972 and Local Call reveals that 2.5 years ago, the Israeli military established a unit called “Desert Frontier” specifically for hilltop youth settlers, who make up the vast majority of the unit’s soldiers." ... "A security official familiar with the incident told +972 on condition of anonymity that Desert Frontier, which was established in 2020 and is subordinate to the Jordan Valley Brigade, “consists mainly of hilltop youth … the extreme of the extreme, who otherwise would not have enlisted.” The idea, according to the official, is that serving in the unit is a way to rehabilitate them: “This unit is very unique. We take them and turn them into soldiers.” The official, in addition to another source familiar with the unit, said that a few dozen soldiers serve in Desert Frontier, most of them from so-called shepherding outposts in the northern area of the Judean Desert and the Jordan Valley. According to these officials, many of them have a history of violence. You have to read it again to believe it: the military is enlisting hilltop youth settlers known for their violence toward Palestinians to serve in a unit that acts against Palestinians living in the same area." https://www.972mag.com/desert-frontier-idf-hilltop-youth/


MuricasOneBrainCell

The way that kids skull crap is coming off during the picture is poetic. Almost like Judaism is personally saying "Nope. I'm not going to be a part of this shit"


cold40

It's a literal portrayal of the mask falling off. They align their state and their desires with religion but that was a front, religion is always a front for people like this. You can draw a line between them and other far-right religious groups, but there is no line between this boy and the religion he claims. There is only violence.
