  1. Quoting Hanin Majadli on Israel's moral crisis:

    Israeli public's silence on #Gaza civilian deaths reflects a deeper moral crisis. Even those opposing the war fear acknowledging Gazans as human. Recent attack reportedly killed 400 civilians including 200 children, yet mainstream media labeled victims as "operatives." Majadli questions how Israelis can demand democracy while ignoring "inconceivable human price" paid in Gaza, suggesting this contradiction stems from decades of "militaristic racist indoctrination." The piece challenges anti-war Israelis to speak up despite potential backlash.

    [...] It's already impossible to distinguish between things in Israel. It's impossible to distinguish the media from the public. Because even those who oppose the war are afraid to say that Gazans are human, too. Because it's impossible to separate the pilot from the bomb. He's told to push the button and he pushes it. The majority of the people not only tolerate mass slaughter, but demand it, either explicitly or tacitly.

    [...] How is it possible to insist on freedom and justice without any reference to the inconceivable human price of this war? How it is possible to devalue life in Gaza, which has become so cheap for Jews in Israel, while simultaneously calling for the preservation of Israeli democracy? Exactly what democracy are we talking about? One that carries on its back such enormous, terrible destruction every day?

    On March 17-18, an Israeli airstrike killed 436 Palestinians according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Among the dead: 183 children, 94 women, and 34 elderly people over 65. The attack began at 2:20 AM during Ramadan when many were preparing for suhoor meal. Israeli media described it as "one of the greatest preemptive operations in military history". Channel 12 News claimed "400 militants killed" while Maariv reported "300 terrorists liquidated".

  2. #Israel / Noa Argamani denies fake reports in Israeli media she was beaten in captivity

    "They beat me all over my body, my hair was cut," was quoted in quotation marks on the front page of "Israel Hayom", attributed to the released hostage Noa Argamani as a "shocking testimony".

    But according to Noa Argamani herself, Israeli media is using her to spread fake news.

    "I cannot ignore what happened here in the media in the last 24 hours, things were taken out of context. I was not beaten and my hair was not cut," she wrote on her Instagram account, "I was in a building that was bombed by the Air Force.

    'At the end of this week, after the shooting, as I said, I had cuts all over my head, and I was injured all over my body'. (I emphasize that I was not beaten but was injured all over my body from the building collapsing on me). As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be victimized again by the media."
