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.
The Israelis did not listen to Biden at all did they…
Oh they heard him loud and clear
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.
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
Republicans have become inured to shame because of dumpster fire president, they do not care about rape, election fraud, apparently anything, they certainly don’t care about some country that they probably don’t even know anything about.
I appreciate the sentiment, though.
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?
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.
