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.
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
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.
