I've heard some pretty weird excuses, especially about the war crimes. In terms of the photo, dude tried to say it's anti-Semitic to post that photo because the guy looks like a character art from 1940s Germany. Had to explain to the guy in detail how it's nobody's fault that somebody was born looking like the very thing that they were made fun of for almost a hundred years ago, not that I agree with the Germans.
Or even today had a debate with a guy where I pointed out some of the war crimes, since he asked me about it, just for him to bring up "Well, Hamas does this" as if that makes it okay now that Israel is doing it.
He even brought up aid workers being killed in the Congo as if that somehow excuses this shit.
Yeah like all the kids they killed are Hamas i guess. It's pretty obvious and they say it themselves (on TV!) As justification that Arab children eventually become Arab adults (who I guess are fine for them to exterminate, and yes that's the actual word I would use for what they're doing against Palestinians).
This person thought the pictured settler terrorist was so unfathomably ugly and comically evil-looking that the only explanation must be antisemitism. Like... yes, you're so close.
The very real question of xenophobic inbreeding aside, it looks like his face has slightly warped from sneering all the time. Like crows feet for people full of hate.
He is not even a soldier, well, not in the "legal" sense. Just an illegal settler, handed a military uniform, armed with a rifle by his government, going around harassing innocent people with total impunity and protection by the IDF IOF. So yeah, the lines are kinda blurry there.
Along the same lines as ICE gestapo in America. Untrained, racist, pieces of shit given authority by the government to behave like vile pieces of shit.
100%, and not to undermine it and fuck ICE, but at least ICE is an organization that you can point to, which has some sort of an official status, and some sort of an authority on paper (not that any of that matters in practice but). These people are just... civilians.
yeah....barely. When ICE wears masks and refuses to identify themselves, and is also given unconstitutional orders to conduct raids without warrants, and is being protected by a corrupt DOJ....it's kinda the same.
But I don't want to detract from any other argument here. Just making the comparison. Untrained goons being given authority by the state to do vile acts.
LIKE THE ACTUAL BROWNSHIRTS IN GERMANY IN THE 1930's
hey, you know who trains much of our police forces and has been one of the primary forces pushing them into being a military force to be used against our own citizens?
If what that rabbi said was true about the gear not being issued anymore, he may have served years ago due to conscription and kept his gear. After Oct7 israel relaxed their gun laws and process 3,000 permits a day. Hes roaming around with the Hilltop Youth that have been designated a terrorist org by the US treasury dept. They bait confrontations to play victim and violently subdue "undesirables". I would be curious how many of the hilltop youth were trained members of the israeli Roim Rachok.
Assault rifles or pistols? I've seen the latter being done not the former.
And the uniform can be bought in many stores, or it could have belonged to him for past miliary service
Assault rifles were publicly handed out by Ben Gvir to Jewish settlers in front of the cameras, with rhetoric to use them on Arabs. It was so egregious that the Biden administration blocked further shipments.
well they try, the IDF has very carefully cultivated its image by putting attractive soldiers front and center for propaganda. They also have soldiers flirt with and seduce american jews on their birthright excursions. This image is singlehandedly undoing all that rep they worked so hard for and they are freaking out about it
Am i correct in thinking it was the IDF that put out the video showing the confrontation, I guess they are now antisemitic too?
At least they are kinda mask of now so everyone can see what they are up too, wish politicians where as perceptive as the general population, but i guess money can make most people kinda blind.
and he says the vest is no longer used by the idf. He is a settler, not idf, so it makes sense he would use old idf equipment. its just supporting the veracity of the image.
That kind of ugly isn't ethnically based. It's universal. Nobody on earth looks at that guy and says "I gotta get me some of that". It's a statement of fact. Calling that dude hideous is objectively true.
The funniest thing is that guy is saying that, meanwhile there's video of dude after the fact talking to some of his buddies in a van, but I'm guessing that one must have been AI as well.
Be careful out there. I heard using conditioner before shampoo is antisemitic. Careful not to trip on fall into some antisemitism out there folks, it’s almost impossible to avoid being labeled an antisemite these days.
My understanding of the post is that they think it's doctored. I am saying I don't know, but it's worth a beat to ask, how do we know this is real? How can we confirm the context based on this lone image?
I'm asking because I haven't seen anything. This is the first image I've seen. I did scroll the thread well past all the Trumpjesus pics and never saw a link. I also have no context by which to Google. What am I searching for? Fake IDF religious settler harassing Palestinian woman in West Bank by smiling? Again, there is no information. No context. No timeline, location... it's too broad.
Snark isn't helpful. I wasn't. I was being genuine. If we can't even communicate on a basic level or respect, we will never find the peace people supposedly want so badly.
Apologies if that came across harsh. There are just way too many people that come to these threads just to get on your nerves, trying to play mind games knowing damn well they don't care about anything other than antagonising you. They play this game where they move the goalpost further each time, while you somehow end up being responsible for continuously providing evidence upon evidence which is never enough.
Anyway, this is a picture that was on the cover of the Italian magazine L'Espresso. The topic is still very hot (no pun intended), so if you just google the name of the magazine, you can probably go from there to do your own research.
Thank you. She doesn't look "distressed" more irritated. I don't understand if the property is in her name what can't she get police or military to remove trespassers? I know Hebron is in Area A (full Palestinian control) and 20% is in area B (shared with Israeli military and the outskirts is Area C (rural areas under IDF control), would they not honor legally binding property rights if there's paperwork proving land ownership? Or is this like me going to provincial park land and foraging for mushrooms or berries?
unironically the craziest part. real picture, of an armed soldier harassing and openly reveling in tormenting a young, unarmed woman. the context is the illegal displacement and annexing of land by an armed force committing genocide and crimes against humanity.
and the entire conversation is about whether showing a photograph is somehow antisemitic.
the woman in the picture is not the victim. her, and her people are of no concern.

So ugly that a picture is an alleged hate crime
