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.

Slavery and a large prison camp where people are starving?

Hey, don’t forget at Al-Aqsa they were digging mass graves while IDF snipers were aiming at them.

Let’s see… Digging mass graves at gunpoint…

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.

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 16 points 7 months ago

They will be given a promotion

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.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] GhostFence@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

(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.

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?

They really like smelling their own farts don’t they

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 59 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Video is available here.

I have ripped the audio from the video and threw it through an online translator. The video translations look very accurate.

What the fuck

[-] Ab_intra@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

The Israelis did not listen to Biden at all did they..

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 67 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Oh they heard him loud and clear

So, in this moment, we must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.

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.

[-] Diotima@kbin.social 12 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 25 points 7 months ago

That's absolutely disgusting
