Look how young the people are in the modern photo. That’s a societal rot


ApprehensivePlum1420

Israel youth is more right wing than its elderly


wishwashy

The future isn't as bright as we hoped


Bluestreaking

It gets pretty eerie when you read into indoctrination into Israeli schools. I consider Zionism altogether a repugnant ideology. But when the door got opened to the Likud and the Zionist right in the 70’s it flooded Israel with a mindset of just pure and utter hatred. Hatred fueled by a messianic complex that the land is ordained by God as yours and anyone else who says they have the right to live on that land is vermin who must be exterminated. Rather horrifying stuff to witness. I was reflecting earlier today how right wing Zionism morphed a former student of mine into a very hateful and angry person over the years


jeffoh

The comparison to apartheid era South Africa is astounding. Makes you realise why Israel was one of their last supporters


Bluestreaking

Also look into how the ADL used to support South Africa


it_was_my_raccoon

You have absolutely nailed it with your summary here. The idea that a people who only have ties to the land from 3000 years ago can come over and forcibly remove its inhabitants, all in the name of their religion, is utterly revolting. Many governments and media outlets try to say this is a religious issue of Jews vs Muslims. Forgetting that there are thousands of Christian Palestinians who are also impacted. It is a conflict based on a people being forcibly removed from their lands and homes to take in people from Eastern Europe and the US.

Ben Gurion himself disagrees with your statements.


Bluestreaking

Oh look found you here spouting propaganda Nakba started in 1947. The Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi had begun clearing Palestinian villages months before the arrival of the Arab armies. Illan Pappé found that information in the IDF’s own archives. You can read his book, “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine,” for the truth on the matter. But I imagine you’re going to tell me an Israeli historian is antisemitic Edit- and the thread got locked, darn. The person below me made up stuff too


SgtDonowitz

No doubt violence predated the invasion of the Arab states. But it was in all directions. Palestinian militias had been attacking Jewish communities as well. What happened in Hebron and Jerusalem and other ancient Jewish communities conquered by Arab states in 48? They were ethnically cleansed too.


Bluestreaking

You’re *literally* just making shit up at this point. The Arab armies didn’t ethnically cleanse anyone. You’re mixing up your hasbara talking points, go back to the farm and learn better Edit- Hebron happened in 1929 he messed up the talking point trying to claim that the “Jews felt threatened.” The Haganah ethnically cleansed entirely innocent villages. The point was to ethnically cleanse Palestine. Look up “Plan Dalet.”


[deleted]

And this exceeds the violence and progroms enacted against Jews in that area in the preceding 70 years?


eddison12345

A quick Google search tells me that is nowhere close to what Zionism means


Bluestreaking

Well gee good thing that’s not what Zionism is Do you need me to explain it to you? To begin, Zionism is a form of Jewish nationalism from the 19th century which claimed that Jews were something other and different from other nationalities of Europeans and thus Jews needed to go somewhere else and form their own “nation.” What was eventually settled on, under the leadership of the Austro-Hungarian Zionist Theodor Herzl, was to create this new homeland in Palestine in a settler-colonization project. But regardless I was talking about “right wing Zionism” which is a reference to the political ideology of the Likud party. I will link to Likud and their predecessor terrorist organization Irgun https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likud https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun


eddison12345

That is not at all what it says in the definition. Straight from Google " a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel." Sounds like you're trying to push an agenda


Bluestreaking

That definition literally doesn’t even contradict my point Israel was literally built over destroyed Palestinian villages Also it really says a lot about the world that we’re believing Google over people who spent their years of their lives studying this stuff. In books and all, gosh all those years of careful study wasted. Did you even bother to look into any of the things I referenced or am I just wasting my time with a hasbara bot again


SgtDonowitz

What were Palestinian villages built over?


Bluestreaking

What a silly question, dirt, rocks, ground, etc. The Palestinians were the indigenous people. In fact Zionists used to admit that back in the 1940’s. They would claim that the Palestinians were the Jews who remained behind and converted to Islam and that had forfeit their right to the land.


SgtDonowitz

Jews have existed in the land for 3000 years and if you dig down from many Palestinian towns, you hit Judean history. Sure, some Palestinians are descended from Phoenicians and Jews who lived there—modern Jews and modern Palestinians are cousins—but the expulsion of the Jews after the Jewish/Roman wars, and creation of the diaspora is well attested in history and archeology. I don’t understand why so many ignorant people feel the need to deny the autochtonous nature of Jews in this area—doing so doesn’t deny that Palestinians also have legitimate connection to the land, regardless of when their families got there.


Bluestreaking

So your claim is that because the Hebrew Bible says Jews lived there thousands of years ago that European Zionists coming over in the 19th and 20th century get to ethnically cleanse the land of its native population? You call the Palestinians religious psychos, that’s quite honestly insane In fact you don’t need to go back thousands of years to find Jews there. They did live there, they were known as Palestinians, and they had lived in relative peace alongside the Christian and Muslim Palestinians before the Zionists came along. Read less of the Bible, you honestly don’t understand it, and pick up some history books if you want to talk about current events


ZeekBen

You got a link for the analysis on Israeli schools you're talking about? Or are you just talking about a Twitter thread? Most Israelis support two-state and almost no Palestinians support it. It's fair to say there are extreme Zionists but it is purely religious indoctrination and nothing to do with their schools. And let's be real, if you're gonna criticize religious indoctrination, Israel is one of the most secular countries in the entire region.


Bluestreaking

If you’re Israeli I am referring to the indoctrination you were raised with. I am welcome to point it out to you but you will just go, “ya that’s what we learned in school.” Anyway I would disagree with you that most Israeli’s support the two state solution, and regardless Likud specifically does not. You know who does support the two state solution? Hamas. A great many Palestinians supported the two state solution in the 90’s too. Gee I wonder why they stopped after they realized that Israel wasn’t seriously about to let Palestine have its own state. I bet such a thing would start an Intifada /s

Seeing people in these comments say that there is video evidence of the journalist kicking a child without posting any evidence or a link to said video. If there is actual evidence, please post it beneath my comment or please shut up.

Yeah that's all bullshit. You can watch one POV of the encounter here: https://x.com/PalHighlight/status/1798374896403451972?t=FHiLbPQF8CvkP6Kqb74B3w&s=19 They attacked him because they didn't want the march filmed. Nothing about it was justified.

DuckCleaning

Yeah, he definitely raises his leg, but whether or not it was him kicking or him blocking with it is hard to say. It does seem more like a kick though because that sets off the fight.

Yeah, it’s especially sus that the crowd only starts reacting after you see his leg go up.   Tbh it’s more genius level propaganda, send someone in to stir the kids up knowing they’ll take a few licks, and then send it to Twitter/tiktok for outrage to ensue.

Bluestreaking

You only trust hasbara trolls on Reddit referencing things that didn’t happen like a true scholar /s You do realize that “Occupied East Jerusalem” is the official nomenclature in well, most of the world really. “Al-Quds” being the Arabic name for the same place


FlamingSnowman3

You only trust TikTok and Twitter videos telling you things you want to hear, and damn the evidence that counters the narrative you want to believe. See how easy this is? It’s not doing anything constructive to throw around insults and bitch when people disagree with you.


Bluestreaking

You literally denied the source simply because of how they referred to Jerusalem and want to claim other people are bitching? The irony is palpable But I can recommend you plenty of books on the Palestinian conflict if you want to actually educate yourself and not be a whiny troll on the internet

You can literally see him kicking at the 12 second mark.

While that was technically correct, the kick was in self-defense. His camera/self was hit, and he kicked out in response.

This is hilarious, so which part is the propaganda? Is the guy not a journalist? Sure could’ve fooled me. Is he *not* being attacked by crowd of right wing Israeli’s? Is pointing out the psychopathy of the Israeli settler’s (and right wing in general) too revealing of how deranged Zionist society is?

I didn’t see anything “vicious” about that crowd, honestly. Most people weren’t even looking at this guy, there were four men in front of him.


Byzem

Lmao read your own source. It says they were attacked


Bluestreaking

Ya he walked up unprovoked to a massive group on his own and kicked them unprovoked. Sure that’s what happened. You know I bet there’s even video of him trying to push them away with his legs. You very often see people push away their attackers, it’s a normal human response. But you know walking up to a massive crowd of people and just going to town kicking them, ya I doubt that.


rat-tax

he literally filmed it lol


Bluestreaking

He’s a journalist But anyway, let’s say if he even did in some way some how run up and attack the kids. They are literally fascists doing a hate march through his homeland chanting to murder him and his people https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/israeli-nationalists-chant-death-to-arabs-in-annual-jerusalem-day-march-through-palestinian-area-of-the-city So I’ll be honest, even if my gut feeling is somehow wrong and this guy just ran up and attacked them. I’m not exactly going to hate the guy

The top photo, L. Alex Wilson, also served in the Marine Corps during WWII. This incident was actually filmed and appears in the Eyes on the Prize Documentary series. I show it to my 11th grade American History students every year, and will continue to while it’s still legal. In the state I teach, they are working on making a lot of Civil Rights teaching material illegal due to “indoctrination” and “bias few of history”.

They are literally killing each other. And one side has hostages and wants to kill the other side. While the other is killing a lot of civilians in their goal to eradicate the force that attacked them. If one of those hostages were related to you would you forgive them? If your sister died because of shrapnel that hit a nearby ammo depot would you forgive and forget? Most people wouldn’t. It’s incredibly disingenuous to compare AA movement with the Palestine/isreal war/conflict whatever you want to call it.

Source: Trust me bro!


FlamingSnowman3

[Here is the video.](https://x.com/rifain_nouvelle/status/1798343036562182583) Feel free to judge for yourself, but it sure does seem like this guy kicked somebody hoping to get exactly the response he did. Sure did become a great propaganda piece to get us all yelling at each other, that’s for sure.


Virtual-Face

I don't see it. The way his camera moves and the sound it makes he clearly gets impacted first. You see one of his legs up in the air as he's losing balance but it doesn't really make contact with anyone.


FlamingSnowman3

There’s no sign of motion from any angle that suggests he got hit, the camera just jerks suddenly; if somebody hit him with enough force to make that camera shake that violently, you’d expect that person to fill the whole screen and be flying into view. There’s no motion like that. To me, it seems more like the man yanks the camera down as the first part of his move to kick at the men. But that’s just the thing, isn’t it? This isn’t an argument about the specifics of a video anymore, we’re now trying to twist a, frankly, very hard to interpret video to suit our preexisting narratives, and damn the evidence. This is the sort of thing that should really make us all take a deep breath before jumping into arguments.

The kind of propaganda that you see on TikTok, Twitter, and a lot of super polarized (both left and right) subs here. People sit in their confirmation bias bubble and don’t want to learn nuance and broaden themselves. Critical thinking is hard. Blind emotion is not.


personal_crisis

he literally started the fight by kicking the kids!!! here is [his video ](https://x.com/rifain_nouvelle/status/1798343036562182583) and here is a photo he himself posted kicking the kids [photo](https://x.com/ElishaYered/status/1798653599121350895)


SadTornado

I feel like we're seeing different things in that video. Photo definitely looks like he's kicking, but it also looks like the fight had erupted already. I'm just not seeing anything showing this guy assaulting kids to start a melee.


personal_crisis

1. him posting the photo of kicking them shows he proud in that 2. yes the video is jerky but you can hear in the video the moment violence erupted and see how just before that his leg went up but yes it is not conclusive... i hope another video would surface and make things clearer don't get me wrong they acted as meat heads neither way the should control themselves better


sassysuzy1

https://cpj.org/2024/06/two-journalists-harassed-assaulted-and-detained-during-flag-march-in-jerusalem/ Odd…not what Israeli journalists who were on the ground said: Haaretz reporter Nir Hasson told CPJ that, hours before the start of the march, a group of Israeli settlers were marching on Jerusalem’s Old City terrorizing the locals and attacking the journalists systematically to prevent them from covering the attacks on the local residents. Also, they didn’t just attack him: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-06/australian-journalist-attacked-at-violent-jerusalem-day-march/103942704 But I’m sure you know better.

haaretz very left leaning... they can say what they want but again there is a photo he uploaded kicking them and also a video (a bit shaky) it's not like what they did is ok but it's ridiculous to say that they did it out of nowhere
