Israel "At War!" [NSFW]

Israel launches a full scale assault on the Gaza Strip after Hamas made a surprise attack on occupied settlements.

Be warned there will be graphic images and photos.

Free Palestine.

End the apartheid.

Over 2.5 million people live in the Gaza Strip.

Americans should consider leaving Israel due to instability within its government.

While I don't condone the actions, it appears that Israel is on the brink of a civil war.

Israel's ultra orthodox and ultra Zionist groups are with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial decision to reform the national courts. Many believe Israel is leaning towards a dictatorship.

Israel for years peddled an influence campaign into American politics. The lawmakers, lobbyists and media agitators falsely equate criticism of Israeli policies with antisemitism. The U.S. has just passed a resolution condemning Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) after she said Israel is a "racist state" during the 2023 Netroots Nation convention.

Nine Democrats voted against the resolution. They were people of color. The Jewish Democrats and senior Democratic leaders have forced Jayapal, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to apologize or walk back statements. Omar was removed from her Foreign Relations Committee by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) because she criticized AIPAC in 2019. Her remarks "all about the Benjamins" was condemned by Jewish Democrats, senior Democratic  leaders and Republicans as anti-semitic. Even though she did not mention religion, they falsely equated her attacks on AIPAC as an attack on Jews. The Anti-Defamation League is also invested in the peddling of propaganda on behalf of Israel. Jonathan Greenblatt, the current leader of the ADL condemned Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) after she claimed it was an apartheid.

The Israeli government is using apartheid measures when it comes to the Palestinians.

Western media offer propaganda that always favors Israeli interests.

Those living in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem are subjected to second class status. They are forcibly removed from their homes. They are either hit with non lethal or deadly force if they react to Israeli forces with protests or weapons.

The Israelis literally are shooting at Palestinian doctors, children and journalists who get in the way.

The Israeli military have blocked ambulances and UN inspectors. 

The junk food media continues to refer the Palestinians who defend themselves as militants. They ignore the brutal bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government claims that Hamas launched rockets into Tel Aviv and they have to bomb facilities to stop the militants.

Excuses from the U.S. is basically, "Israel has a right to defend itself" or "[We] stand firm with the Jewish state."

I am sick and tired of hearing American lawmakers and media figures defending Israel.

In one breathe, most back Ukraine's fight against the Russian offense. They are willing to see bloodshed on Ukraine to prevent Russia from winning. They are willing to look the other way when Israeli spreads bloodshed on the Palestinians. 

We want to hold Russia accountable for its invasion of Ukraine. But when it comes to Israel and Palestine, the U.S. and many other countries ignore the war crimes, the illegal occupation and the Israel's tilt towards fascism.

The Palestinians do not have a military or the weapons of defense. Israel does and they have vowed to wipe out the Palestinians from existence.

The Republicans and some Democrats have this notion that criticism of the state of Israel is equal to antisemitism. They seriously call for boycotts and censorship of those who dare speak against the inhumane crimes done by the Israeli government. 

I mean, Palestinians cannot defend themselves from the years of oppression.

Netanyahu is a war criminal, despot and a horrible man. He often lurks into American politics corrupting lawmakers into supporting Israeli interests.

It is a destructive and deadly alliance that led to 9/11, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, unrest in the Middle East and politicians in the states passing legislation to prevent protests against Israel.

The Israeli government has been very keen on demolishing the Palestinians.

Hamas, the elected government of the Gaza Strip has launchd a strike against the Israeli government. Over 40 Israelis were killed. An unknown amount of Palestinians were killed.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congress and world leaders reacting to the controversies surrounding Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Golan Heights.

Of course, Biden and Congress took the fucking side of Israel and ignored the months of tensions brewing since settlers attack Palestinians at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Old Jerusalem. They literally ignore the Palestinians right to defend itself from illegal settlements, racism, neo-fascism and apartheid.

The Israeli military captured alleged Hamas members.

The Gaza Strip and Israel have been in conflict since the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and Hamas gaining control of the Gaza Strip after elections in 2006 and a civil war with Fatah in 2007. The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli and Egyptian blockade since 2007.

The attack followed three weeks of violence at the Israel–Gaza separation fence. Hamas and Israel had recently negotiated a truce, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United Nations on September 29. Prior to the attack and including combatants and civilians on both sides, at least 247 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces in 2023, while 32 Israelis and two foreign nationals had been killed in Palestinian attacks.

The attack took place during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah and Shabbat, and a day after the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, which also began with a surprise attack.

Israel and Saudi Arabia are conducting negotiations to normalize relations, with Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman recently stating that normalization was "for the first time, real". Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it had "repeatedly warned that Israel's ongoing occupation of Gaza would propel further violence."

The commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, said that the attack was in response to "desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque," and called on Palestinians and Arab Israelis to "expel the occupiers and demolish the walls". Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri said the operation was a response "to the crimes of the occupation", adding that fighters were defending the Al-Aqsa Mosque and thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Biden issued a statement condemning the attacks and saying that he was ready to offer "all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel". Acting ambassador to Israel, Stephanie Hallett said she was "sickened by the images coming out of southern Israel of dead and wounded civilians at the hands of terrorists from Gaza". The White House issued a statement saying the United States "unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians".
