A video has been shared on social media appearing to show an Israeli soldier coercing detained Palestinians to describe themselves as slaves.
The clip shows blindfolded detainees sitting on a coach, repeating words in Hebrew after a man speaking from behind the camera.
“We’d like to congratulate the Azoulai family, lots of love and great success. We, the terrorists from Gaza are very afraid of the entire Azoulai family,” the men repeat.
“The Azoulai family is very, very, very, very respectable, important and we want to be slaves of the Azoulai family forever and ever. [We want] to work for them in sewage and gardening and a do a very good job,” they continue.
Slavery and a large prison camp where people are starving?
Hey, don’t forget at Al-Aqsa they were digging mass graves while IDF snipers were aiming at them.
Let’s see… Digging mass graves at gunpoint…
Israel is beyond irredeemable at this point. We need mass protests against our governments who are supporting them.
And where are all those proud Israeli supporting cowards who come out to tell us how evil Hamas is every thread that isn’t showing Israels war crimes?
I think this soldier should be given a lengthy prison sentence.
They will be given a promotion
Might even be PM one day.
Historically, several Israeli PMs have been involved in or associated with groups that committed massacres on civilians in that country’s various conflicts.
Let’s be clear, their government is irredeemable. I’m sure their people don’t all agree with this. I know Jewish people here who are otherwise Zionists and are disgusted af at Israel’s genocidal rampage.
Jewish people and Zionists are two entirely different things. Many Jews protest against Zionism
(Checks dictionary) Zionism is simply supporting the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. Technically anyone who supports Israel’s existence at all, is a Zionist. I was actually meaning to say those who support crushing Hamas, even all of them that I know find Israel’s actions heinous to the point of kicking Netanyahu out of office. The internet Zionists are far more virulent than what I see IRL. I don’t know any Jewish people who want Israel to disappear as a nation, which would be the dictionary antonym to Zionism.
American Jews against Zionism have blocked highways to protest against israel.
“Not in our name” was one of the first groups to stand up against israel three months ago

I don’t really know any Jewish person who doesn’t sympathize with this, even if where I live is way too far from LA or NYC. I honestly don’t know where these people are who support what’s happening to the Palestinians. Maybe we live in a bubble?

Ah. A genocide supporter. Victim blaming the Gazans for their own genocide. They didn’t rat out their murderous captors to their glorious and wonderful Israeli knights in shining armor so their genocide is perfectly acceptable.
People like you are on the same level as the people back in WWII that denied, supported, and excused the Holocaust. Remember back in school, when we asked ourselves how could people be so ignorant and monstrous at the same time to do something like that? It’s because of people like you muddying the waters.
Congratulations, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Okay, so you’re a jingoist, a loyalist sheep, and apparently not able to form your own opinion. Do you often let the government make your decisions for you?
We’ve historically supported Israel because they are a stepping stone into the Middle East. They are a loose Democracy, that holds strategic value in a region that we hold great economic interest in. That’s it. I understand nuance may be a little difficult for you to understand, but economic stability does not justify genocide. Nor does a terrorist act from HAMAS justify the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Justice is by Hamas and Israeli Officials being tried for their war crimes, not more harsh and brutal collective punishment

It is simply astounding that you don’t see the deep irony in your comment.
Not a single Palestinian stood against the events of Oct 7th
I assume that you just don’t count palestinian diaspora? Or do you just mean those living IN gaza?
Hi :)
Go fuck yourself.
Shut the fuck up, Zionist swine
I won’t respond like the other two even though you deserved it. What I will say is the hostages need to be returned, Hamas deserves to be hit hard, and Israel has gone TOTALLY over the top. There are no heroes here, only victims on both sides.

Israel is also a terrorist state the way they treat the Palestinians. Why are we giving them an excuse?
Did you just compare one attack to the Holocaust?
While the IDF is systematically starving the entire Gaza strip?
I’m not even mad, I’m impressed. That takes some serious cognitive dissonance.
Most ethical army in the world btw.
They really like smelling their own farts don’t they
I have ripped the audio from the video and threw it through an online translator. The video translations look very accurate.

What the fuck
The Israelis did not listen to Biden at all did they…
Oh they heard him loud and clear
So, in this moment, we must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.
They heard him when he provided weapons and when he vetoed UN resolutions for a humanitarian pause.
If Biden wants to say otherwise he needs to do so with actions, not empty warnings of losing public support because the global public cannot stop the US governments defense of Israel, only he can.
And he won’t because he’s 100% onboard with this, which is both disappointing and unsurprising. The only way we get better policy is to elect better candidates.
When are you planning on starting that? Before or after the climate apocalypse?
As soon as the system doesn’t shitcall over anyone who isn’t the anointed from the elite reds and blues, I suppose. Maybe next run of this simulated world?
A ceasefire would be a good thing, but it’s not a permanent solution. Remember, thousands of civilians have died since the last ceasefire. It will take an international coalition to stand between Gaza and Israel with a viable strategy for a Palestinian state to form. Biden has a terrible history with his unconditional support of Israel, but he’s been trying to get Bibi to cooperate with a 2 state solution. Netanyahu is more interested in genociding Palestinians.
Biden said the US will support israel, that the US will not support and extended war, and that the US is focusing on a two-state solution.
It’s foolish and incorrect to call direct contradictions to statements of intent by the leader of Israel empty.
Do you know what you need for an extended war? Money and weapons. Stop shipment of both and the war stops.
Israel has 70 years of munitions, global historical and current military aid, and they already have one of the largest militaries in the world, especially considering their size and the relative strength of the region they are in.
Even if the US were to ignore the terrorist attack, not investigate the credibility of Israeli atrocities, ignore all diplomatic solutions and immediately suspend all material military aid to a 70-year-old ally, the israeli military could move forward with this genocide.
We all want the war crimes to stop, but the entire global community has been cheerleading Israel for two lifetimes now, and a 180 turnaround isn’t going to happen as quickly as you might hope, especially since this is an extranational affair and Biden has no direct military control over the situation.
The US and Israel have not been allies for 70 years. When Israel embarrassed itself in the 1956 invasion of Egypt with British and French support, the US backed Egypt.
Even during the '67 war, the US forced Israel to abandon its aggression.
Things really changed when Kissinger came into the picture.
Their relationship grew stronger over the years, but they’ve been allies for 75 years. They’ve been Uber allies for, what, 45 years?
Then let them use their own shit, withdraw our carrier groups, offer Israeli citizens a place somewhere in America, we have access to plenty of land with damn near every biome.
After all that, just step back and let them deal with the consequences of their actions
Yes, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble convincing states to accept millions of refugees in this political climate.
After all, relocating militant Israelis away from their promised land they are willing to die and commit genocide for should be easy enough.
I don’t really give a shit if any of them take me up on it, I just want to make sure the innocents have a chance to escape.
Why not we can put all of the republicans on record as refusing to help Israel
Biden said the US supports israel, the US won’t support an extended war, and the US is focusing on a two-state solution.
These are top level diplomatic declarations to the state of israel and netanyahu specifically, theyhave no bearing on soldiers thousands of miles away not under his command who choose to act inhumanely.
Everyone in the israeli government who directs this soldier speaking in the video has made it very clear they don’t view Israelis as people, and those is really leaders, not Biden, are the ones influencing and in charge of thus soldier.
That’s absolutely disgusting
most moral army in the world, y’all. children of light.
