Netanyahu: "1,200 Israelis dying on October 7th is the equivalent of 40,000 Americans dying in one day." By the same logic, Israel has killed over 3.7% Palestinian population - which is the equivalent of 12.5 million Americans By his own logic, he's committed a Holocaust-scale massacre multiple times over.

Palestinian children scream and cry as Israeli settlers brutally beat their father before their eyes, leaving them terrified and helpless.

I am shocked by the political inertia in the face of what Israelis -settlers and soldiers- are doing in Palestine, where terror has become a daily reality. In the West Bank, torching century old trees and poisoning livestock. When will the EU take action against Apartheid Israel?
Replying to @warfareanalysis
1, This is today, A Jewish settler, guarded by Israeli army soldiers, poisons Palestinian owned sheep and goats in the eastern part of al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Owen Jones just laid out the most devastating indictment of Israeli society and its military: 70% of Jewish Israelis believe there are no innocents in Gaza. That means: No babies. No children. No mothers. No fathers. No grandparents The UN found Israel deliberately targeted children. Dr. Guthrie testified that soldiers played games with Palestinian bodies-shooting different parts of children on different days.

Why do PA security forces never intervene against Israeli settlers,at least in areas under their control? Because under the Oslo Accords PA security is not meant to protect Palestinians. Voilà what 33yrs+ of int'l community backed peace process have delivered to the Palestinians.
Israeli settlers planted a forest of Israeli flags around a Palestinian store in the West Bank, blocking the entrance and the windows. The owners called the IDF to report the incident, and the IDF told them not to touch the flags. 📍 Lubban ash-Sharkiyya 🇵🇸

Video from Oct 7 shows members of Hamas protecting the Bibas family from the incoming Hannibal directive. 'Dont worry, we dont target women & children' says one of them 'The airplanes are getting close' warns another 'Protect them, shield them, keep them safe' says another Just imagine if the IDF behaved like this in Gaza.

İsrailli askerlerin Filistinli bir esire tecavüz ettiği anlar kameraya yakalandı. Kurbanın bağırsakları yırtıldı; anüsünde ve akciğerlerinde ağır hasar, kaburgalarında kırıklar oluştu. İsrailliler "tecavüz hakkı" için sokaklara döküldü, bakanlar tecavüzcüleri savundu, tecavüzcülerden biri televizyon yıldızı oldu! Ve bugün... Tüm suçlamalar düşürüldü. Bu sadece Ben-Gvir'in zihniyeti değil, bu İsrail'in ta kendisi!

This footage is 35 years old. It shows how Israel was treating Palestinians decades ago. The oppression did not begin on October 7; it has been a reality for generations.
