“Do not worry, we are Muslims, we will not harm you.” A settler tells how the resistance dealt with her - eviltoast

«An Isreli settler told how Palestinian resistance fighters refused to harm her and her children during the recent Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by Al-Qassam forces on the border of the Gaza Strip, amid celebration of the morals of resistance men across platforms. “Rotem,” a mother of two children, spoke to Isreli Channel 12 the moment Al-Qassam Brigades fighters stormed her house during the recent operation, and she could only try to protect her children and explain the situation to them before her house was stormed.»

Rotem: “When they came in, I said, “I have two children here.” That’s the first thing I told them.”

Press reporter: “In Arabic?”

Rotem: “No, in English , They looked around, then one of them said to me in English: Do not be afraid, I am a Muslim. We will not attack you. On the one hand, I was surprised by his response, and on the other hand, I was freed from a lot of pressure. Then I sat with my children, and one of them found a banana on the table. He said to me: Can I have one ? So I told him, yes, you can eat one. They stayed in my house for about two hours, and at the end of the two hours, one of them closes the door and they left .”

Reporter: “That’s all?”

Rotem: “Yes, that’s it.”

      While things like rape unfortunately happen with things like this, it’s rarely en masse like the media claims it is. The most prevalent source for the rape stories of Hamas is ‘an eyewitness’. No name, no org, no nothing.

      Edit: it’s an old trick of the western propaganda machine. Read The Jakarta Method to see how things like rape scares were a common tactic of the CIA even back in the 60s and 70s to portray upcoming communist movements as a scary thing.

      Most likely yes. The concert/rave story has also been exposed as seriously dubious. Expect now the war propaganda machine has been put into overdrive it will be producing atrocity propaganda on an industrial scale. Critically question everything you read (and most of what you think you see too, considering that deep fakes exist…). It doesn’t mean the Palestinian fighters behave perfectly in every single instance, but clearly allegations of systematic abuses are being fabricated wholesale in order to dehumanize the enemy and justify genocide and atrocities.

      Because it’s obvious that despite the atrocities committed against the Palestinians, they don’t want brutal revenge. They just want to live.
