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 is beyond irredeemable at this point. We need mass protests against our governments who are supporting them.

And where are all those proud Israeli supporting cowards who come out to tell us how evil Hamas is every thread that isn’t showing Israels war crimes?

I think this soldier should be given a lengthy prison sentence.

Might even be PM one day.

Historically, several Israeli PMs have been involved in or associated with groups that committed massacres on civilians in that country's various conflicts.

Let's be clear, their government is irredeemable. I'm sure their people don't all agree with this. I know Jewish people here who are otherwise Zionists and are disgusted af at Israel's genocidal rampage.

Jewish people and Zionists are two entirely different things. Many Jews protest against Zionism

(Checks dictionary) Zionism is simply supporting the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. Technically anyone who supports Israel's existence at all, is a Zionist. I was actually meaning to say those who support crushing Hamas, even all of them that I know find Israel's actions heinous to the point of kicking Netanyahu out of office. The internet Zionists are far more virulent than what I see IRL. I don't know any Jewish people who want Israel to disappear as a nation, which would be the dictionary antonym to Zionism.

American Jews against Zionism have blocked highways to protest against israel.

"Not in our name" was one of the first groups to stand up against israel three months ago

[-] GhostFence@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

I don't really know any Jewish person who doesn't sympathize with this, even if where I live is way too far from LA or NYC. I honestly don't know where these people are who support what's happening to the Palestinians. Maybe we live in a bubble?

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
