Three soldiers pounce on a shepherd sitting outside his sheep pen. They knock him over and then one of them shoots him to death at point-blank range. Fakher Jaber, a father of four, was suspected of involvement in an incident that probably never happened

On the last day of his life, two and a half weeks ago, the shepherd and his wife got up at 5:30 A.M., as usual, and immediately went out together to milk the ewes. With their flock of 120 sheep, their work is never done. Maryam recalls now that they didn’t manage to eat breakfast before the daily Ramadan fast began. After about two hours they finished milking. Fakher took the sheep out to graze and she began to make cheese from the milk, which they sell in Nablus to help make their living.

After he returned the sheep to their pen, Fakher sat down near it, removed the Quran from his pocket and began to read from it. Maryam finished making dinner. She remembers that everything was normal and relatively peaceful that afternoon, in this beleaguered community, living under the constant threat of invasions by settlers. Suddenly Maryam heard shouting. She rushed outside and saw three Israelis in uniform yelling at and wrestling with her husband. One of the men was masked, which led her to believe that they were settlers – of the type that frequently assault the shepherding communities, graze their livestock on the residents’ lands and water their flocks from their wells.

      And Jews will declare war against fascism once again. Torah Jews seem the legitimate channel for Jews to act against facism and support for Palestinian existence.

      All Jews in all countries except Zionist Jews are against this bloodshed.

      It’s a race war disguised as a crusade.

            The holocaust did not define genocide, it simply was one. Intent defines genocide.

            The genocide of American Natives happened FAR before the holocaust.

                Intent is clear and was shown at the ICJ case, that’s why it was ruled a plausible genocide and ordered Israel to take actions to prevent genocide. Israel was failed to do, which is why the ICJ ruled on additional measures in March. Which again Israel has failed to do.

                There is over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities.

                Law for Palestine Releases Database with 500+ Instances of Israeli Incitement to Genocide – Continuously Updated

                The Court considers that, with regard to the situation described above, Israel must, in accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular: (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; © deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and (d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. The Court recalls that these acts fall within the scope of Article II of the Convention when they are committed with the intent to destroy in whole or in part a group as such. The Court further considers that Israel must ensure with immediate effect that its military forces do not commit any of the above-described acts.

        To be fair, or isn’t exactly the same thing.

        We stopped the Nazi government by force.

        We’re arming the Israeli government and asking them to pretty please pretend to be careful about keeping civilian casualties out of the news.

      No the Nazis had fashion, and still at least had German culture. The parts they didn’t burn for being too philosophical or gay.

      Zionists don’t even have that much. They’re worse.

          That’s the thing, the Nazis are as bad as you think they are (worse and stupider, probably)

          They are saying that creating a “who’s the worst bad guy” competition isn’t helping in any way.

            Not quite what I was saying, but I completely agree. Probably what i shouldve been saying.

            Theres a moral event horizon after which ‘kill em all’ is the only conscionable option, and I think both groups are well past it.

          No. I’d just make sure, if I had the option, to shoot them in the head so I could steal their clothes after.

        Nazis are still foolish.

        There is no such thing as a German Anglo-Aryan race with blue hair and blonde eyes.

        Hilter made it up.

        But it was 20 years too early for the discovery of DNA.

        Neo-nazis are even stupider to still believe that nonsense like flat earthers.
