Quoting Sergey Brin: "The use of the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, I would not rely on an anti-Semitic organization like the UN."
One might argue that companies profiting from genocide may react defensively... #ProjectNimbus is a $1.2 billion cloud and #AI contract between #Google, #Amazon, and #Israel that has been criticized internationally for enabling Israel's war on #Gaza, including surveillance and AI-driven tactics that contribute to the ongoing #genocide.
Google is to Israel what #IBM was to #Germany in the 1930s—tech support. See https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/114715091687865234

Quoting Iris Hefetz:
As part of the “new chapter” in its history, #Germany has become a kind of #Jewish shtetl. Descendants of #Nazis adopt Jewish symbols, worship #Zionism and persecute Jews who criticize Israel – in the name of fighting #antisemitism, of course.
Hefetz describes how Germany has undergone what she calls “convertion to Zionism,” that is the transformion of descendants of Nazis into “the new Jews.” But she starts with a joke she heard from a Jewish child in #Berlin:
“What’s the difference between Jews and Muslims? The Jews are already past that.”
Muslims have become the new target for traditional German racism and intolerance. She contrasts today’s Germany with the country she found 23 years ago:
“Germany 23 years ago was truly a different Germany. It was still an anti-militaristic and anti-nationalist society and state, which respected its constitution and international law to some extent, where a million people marched against the horrific and internationally illegal war by the US in Iraq, which Germany refused to participate in.”
She traces this transformation back to Germany’s first chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, who stated: “We caused the Jews such great injustice, we committed such terrible crimes against them, that there was a need to atone for them or repair them to some extent, if we wanted to regain honor among the nations of the world.” However, Adenauer’s antisemitic reasoning was revealed when he added: “The power of the Jews – even today, especially in America – should not be underestimated. Therefore, I consciously and carefully invested my entire being, to the best of my ability, to bring about reconciliation between the German people and the Jewish people.”
Hefetz says that Germans have now collectively “converted to Zionism” without the need for actual conversion:
“An entire wing of the German ‘left’ consists of men who ‘engaged in identity searching’ and found it in the form of Israel. They sound as if Noa Tishby is speaking from their throats, wrapping themselves in Israeli flags and IDF flags, going to see folk dance performances celebrating diplomatic relations between the states, and saving Jews from ‘antisemitism.’”
She explains that “according to data published in the Israeli magazine in Berlin, ‘Spitz,’ in an article later removed, more than half of the complaints about antisemitic incidents in Germany are by German Christians with Nazi grandparents, who are attacked by Jews demonstrating against Israel, for example.” The irony, she notes, is that “descendants and great-grandchildren of Nazis are very sensitive to ‘antisemitic attacks against them,’ especially if they come from Jews and Israelis.”
Hefetz describes Germany’s creation of an artificial Jewish identity: “Germany has become a kind of Jewish shtetl. There is no place in the world where you can hear more #klezmer music (traditional Eastern European Jewish music) , adapted to the German ear. The popular names in recent decades in Germany are Hebrew Jewish names.” She explains how “the German state began funding Reform conversion of Christians to Judaism, and recreated the destroyed German liberal Judaism, a ‘new Judaism’ that is of course more desirable than the ultra-Orthodox, who are ‘Ostjuden.’”
Note: The original derogatory term #Mizrahim as used by Ashkenazi Jews, referred to Jews of Eastern European heritage. In #Israel this term was then repurposed to describe Arab Jews, mostly, as part of what Aziza Khazzoom described as de-orinetalization of the largest Jewish diaspora, see “How the Polish Peddler Became a German Intellectual” https://www.sup.org/books/sociology/shifting-ethnic-boundaries-and-inequality-israel
Hefetz details how this “Israelization” serves #Germany’s return to #militarism:
“Identification with Israel helps Germany return to being a militaristic state: it helps break the taboo of nationalism; it helps rehabilitate the image of the German man, who in the years after the war tried to be ‘non-German’ by emphasizing soft qualities, non-authoritarian education for children.”
She quotes recent statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said Israel “does the dirty work for us” regarding attacks on Iran, while a security expert from his party stated “we are also ready to die for Israel.” She notes the antisemitic nature of these statements:
“These antisemitic statements about Jews doing Germany’s ‘dirty work’ are not new, and the reference to killing civilians as ‘dirty work’ recalls Himmler’s Poznan speech, or what Rudolf Hess said at the Nuremberg trials.”
She concludes that “Germany is making a comeback” through authoritarian measures disguised as fighting antisemitism, while “Germany supplies Israel with at least a third of the weapons for the genocide in Gaza.” Despite this official support, Hefetz notes that “there is an absolute majority in the German public that consistently opposes supplying weapons to Israel; and with all the pro-Israeli propaganda and Israeli flags flying over every government office in Germany, 73% think what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide.“

Quoting Jean-Pierre Filiu (Historian and professor at Sciences Po Paris) on Trump’s Christian Zionist allies who drive anti-Palestinian policy in Gaza
[…] “These messianic evangelicals are convinced that their salvation depends on the fulfillment of prophecies, which in their view means the establishment of a single Jewish state over what they consider to be the ‘Holy Land.’”
Trump has assembled the most anti-Palestinian administration in US history, dominated by Christian Zionists who view Israeli control over Palestinian territories through a messianic lens. Key figures include Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who supports destroying Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem for a Third Temple, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who denies Palestinian existence and supports West Bank annexation. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, meant to replace UN aid operations, has failed spectacularly with killings and chaos during distributions. These officials openly support Israeli recolonization of Gaza after expelling Palestinians, exposing the administration’s complete rejection of a two-state solution.

Quoting Michael Sfard, a lawyer specializing in human rights law and the laws of war, on why Israel's actions in #Gaza cannot be erased by a war with #Iran, and why attention must remain focused on Gaza:
Sfard says that many Israelis are caught up in nationalistic fervor, encouraged by media that amplifies pro-war voices. There's a danger that the government will exploit a potential conflict with Iran to intensify its actions in Gaza, possibly leading to further ethnic cleansing and mass killings. The destruction in Gaza is indefensible and potentially constitutes war crimes, with future generations bearing the burden of these actions.
[…] "No war with Iran will erase our crimes in Gaza. Over the weekend, a shocking article by Nir Hasson, Yarden Michaeli, and Avi Sharf was published here about the destruction of Gaza. Read it. Look at the aerial photographs. This is us, the Israeli people of the 21st century, erasing cities, destroying towns, crushing villages. There is no military explanation that can even come close to justifying this destruction, which from a legal standpoint is a clear crime. And that's before we talk about starvation and the use of humanitarian aid to carry out transfer. Generations of Israelis will have to live with the mark of Cain that we have branded ourselves with, in actions that in the worst case are crimes against humanity and war crimes, and in the even worse case accumulate to the suspicion of genocide."

Quoting Ehud Barak on the Gaza genocide: “…”
I was hoping to hear something meaningful from Barak about the genocide in Gaza, or at least honest. Golan and Olmert showed it can be done, and the poison machine can be confronted. After all, in 1998, Ehud Barak honestly stated that if born Palestinian, he might have joined resistance organizations— a politically costly admission that acknowledged Palestinian motivations. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-mar-11-mn-27709-story
These days Barak merely calls for ending the war in #Gaza and releasing hostages, but frames his argument around Israeli strategic interests rather than Palestinian casualties, mentioning only a "humanitarian crisis" without directly addressing the genocide like Yair Golan in his "Israel kills babies as a hobby" comment, or even Olmert’s admission that the killings in Gaza being done “knowingly, intentionally, wickedly, maliciously, recklessly.”
Barak again repeats the argument that #Netanyahu must choose between far-right coalition partners and international leaders, proposing an inter-Arab transitional force for Gaza while warning that continued war will worsen Israel's diplomatic isolation. However, with Netanyahu facing war crimes allegations, political calculations and survival are hardly the central issue, nor is Israel's already damaged international image. The focus should be on raising urgent alarm and stopping the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza.
Very disappointing.

Quoting Historian Shai Hazkani and Tamir Sorek on how religious rights’ vision for Jewish supremacy and Palestinian elimination has gained mainstream acceptance in Israeli society:
Hazakani and Sorek analyzed Rabbi Yitzchak Ginzburg's sermon "Time to Crack the Nut," which outlined a plan to dismantle what he termed the four "shells" protecting Israeli democracy: media, legal system, government institutions, and the military's ethical constraints. Ginzburg, a #Chabad-trained rabbi who became influential among religious Zionist settlers, particularly the "hilltop youth" militia, advocated for the complete removal of Palestinians from historic Palestine.
Key survey findings from March 2025:
- 82% of Israeli Jews support forcibly expelling Gaza residents (up from 45% in 2003)
- 56% support forcibly expelling Palestinian citizens of Israel (up from 31% in 2003)
- 47% believe the Israeli military should kill all residents when conquering enemy cities, following the biblical precedent of Jericho
- 65% believe a contemporary Amalek exists, with 93% of those saying the biblical commandment to "blot out Amalek" applies today
There’s a particularly high support among younger Israelis, with 66% of those under 40 supporting expulsion of Palestinian citizens and 58% endorsing total elimination of enemy populations.
[…] Ginzburg's achievement is indeed the result of shattering the shells, even if the "crackers" weren't always his direct supporters. Hebrew media, the first shell, was always enlisted but maintained a veneer of professionalism. Recently, for the most part, it has abandoned even this pretense, and since the massacre in the Gaza envelope, many journalists have abandoned critical coverage, with some even joining the bellicose calls for revenge, expulsion, and extermination.
[…] The judiciary, which refused to openly declare Jewish supremacy in the Land of Israel and their right to expel, exterminate, or starve their enemies — while simultaneously playing a crucial role in preserving the occupation — was seen by Ginzburg as a stumbling block that "we must break... through mockery and 'contempt of court.'" It appears that the second shell has also undergone change, if it hasn't been completely removed already: about two months ago, Supreme Court Justice David Mintz rejected a petition by the organization "Gisha" to compel Israel to ensure humanitarian aid delivery to the Strip, ruling that this constitutes a "biblical commanded war," effectively authorizing the denial of food, water, and medicine to millions of Gazans. Mintz's ruling, a resident of the settlement Dolev, joined by Chief Justice Yitzhak Amit and Justice Noam Sohlberg from the settlement Alon Shvut, is already claiming lives.
[…] The education system, part of that same second shell, became a workplace where Jewish teachers promoting universal values risk dismissal (for Arab teachers, this danger was never foreign). Education researchers point to a sharp shift toward ethnocentric nationalism in curricula since the Second Intifada, and this process has led to high support for expulsion and extermination, particularly among those who completed their studies in the past 20 years. 66% of those 40 and under support expelling Arab citizens of Israel, and 58% want to see the IDF replicate Joshua's actions at Jericho. Generational gaps in political attitudes aren't unusual, but in Israel it has widened dramatically since the beginning of the 21st century.
[…] It seems there's little need to elaborate on the Knesset and government. Ginzburg himself demands that "the government — whether left or right — we must eliminate. We must bring it down, and when a new one arises, bring that down too, and so on — until establishing Torah rule in the land." The five election cycles held within three and a half years show that here too, Ginzburg can boast of considerable divine assistance.
The two scholars argue that October 7th provided the opportunity Ginzburg had long awaited to implement his vision. They trace how his ideology has penetrated Israeli institutions - from media abandoning critical coverage to Supreme Court Justice David Mintz recently ruling that denying humanitarian aid to Gaza constitutes a "biblical commanded war."
They conclude that without rejecting Jewish supremacy entirely and establishing genuine equality between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, Israel will continue its trajectory toward what they describe as a "Spartan and ostracized society."

Hazakani and Sorek analyzed Rabbi Yitzchak Ginzburg's sermon "Time to Crack the Nut," which outlined a plan to dismantle what he termed the four "shells" protecting Israeli democracy: media, legal system, government institutions, and the military's ethical constraints. Ginzburg, a #Chabad-trained rabbi who became influential among religious Zionist settlers, particularly the "hilltop youth" militia, advocated for the complete removal of Palestinians from historic Palestine.
Key survey findings from March 2025:
- 82% of Israeli Jews support forcibly expelling Gaza residents (up from 45% in 2003)
- 56% support forcibly expelling Palestinian citizens of Israel (up from 31% in 2003)
- 47% believe the Israeli military should kill all residents when conquering enemy cities, following the biblical precedent of Jericho
- 65% believe a contemporary Amalek exists, with 93% of those saying the biblical commandment to "blot out Amalek" applies today
There’s a particularly high support among younger Israelis, with 66% of those under 40 supporting expulsion of Palestinian citizens and 58% endorsing total elimination of enemy populations.
[…] Ginzburg's achievement is indeed the result of shattering the shells, even if the "crackers" weren't always his direct supporters. Hebrew media, the first shell, was always enlisted but maintained a veneer of professionalism. Recently, for the most part, it has abandoned even this pretense, and since the massacre in the Gaza envelope, many journalists have abandoned critical coverage, with some even joining the bellicose calls for revenge, expulsion, and extermination.
[…] The judiciary, which refused to openly declare Jewish supremacy in the Land of Israel and their right to expel, exterminate, or starve their enemies — while simultaneously playing a crucial role in preserving the occupation — was seen by Ginzburg as a stumbling block that "we must break... through mockery and 'contempt of court.'" It appears that the second shell has also undergone change, if it hasn't been completely removed already: about two months ago, Supreme Court Justice David Mintz rejected a petition by the organization "Gisha" to compel Israel to ensure humanitarian aid delivery to the Strip, ruling that this constitutes a "biblical commanded war," effectively authorizing the denial of food, water, and medicine to millions of Gazans. Mintz's ruling, a resident of the settlement Dolev, joined by Chief Justice Yitzhak Amit and Justice Noam Sohlberg from the settlement Alon Shvut, is already claiming lives.
[…] The education system, part of that same second shell, became a workplace where Jewish teachers promoting universal values risk dismissal (for Arab teachers, this danger was never foreign). Education researchers point to a sharp shift toward ethnocentric nationalism in curricula since the Second Intifada, and this process has led to high support for expulsion and extermination, particularly among those who completed their studies in the past 20 years. 66% of those 40 and under support expelling Arab citizens of Israel, and 58% want to see the IDF replicate Joshua's actions at Jericho. Generational gaps in political attitudes aren't unusual, but in Israel it has widened dramatically since the beginning of the 21st century.
[…] It seems there's little need to elaborate on the Knesset and government. Ginzburg himself demands that "the government — whether left or right — we must eliminate. We must bring it down, and when a new one arises, bring that down too, and so on — until establishing Torah rule in the land." The five election cycles held within three and a half years show that here too, Ginzburg can boast of considerable divine assistance.
The two scholars argue that October 7th provided the opportunity Ginzburg had long awaited to implement his vision. They trace how his ideology has penetrated Israeli institutions - from media abandoning critical coverage to Supreme Court Justice David Mintz recently ruling that denying humanitarian aid to Gaza constitutes a "biblical commanded war."
They conclude that without rejecting Jewish supremacy entirely and establishing genuine equality between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, Israel will continue its trajectory toward what they describe as a "Spartan and ostracized society."

Shai Hazkani, a Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Maryland, and Tamir Sorek, a Professor in the History Department at Penn State University, are both academic historians specializing in Israeli/Palestinian history. They have written extensively on the subject. Hazkani’s book, “Dear Palestine: A Social History of the 1948 War” (2024), and Sorek’s book, “The Optimist: A Social Biography of Tawfiq Zayyad ” (2023), are notable works in this field.

Quoting journalist Bakar Zoabi on Israel's evolving strategies of control of the Palestinians citizens of Israel
Israel's systematic attempts to separate Palestinian citizens from their identity began with the state's founding. Initially, military rule was imposed for decades but failed to suppress Palestinian national identity. In the 1990s, Israel shifted to an "Israelization" project, hoping the peace process would cause Palestinian citizens to forget their roots—this strategy collapsed with the October 2000 uprising. Subsequently, he asserts, Israel allowed Palestinian communities to be overwhelmed by crime, violence and poverty, attempting to sever connections to national issues. This approach also failed when, in May 2021, young Palestinians from the Galilee, Triangle and Negev regions rose up in solidarity with Gaza, Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah, demonstrating the enduring strength of Palestinian identity despite decades of systematic attempts to erase it.
Zoabi argues that the Palestinian elite in #Israel faces a moral test of remaining true to their collective identity while under pressure to stay silent or collaborate with the Israeli establishment during times of conflict, with many succumbing to career preservation rather than maintaining solidarity with their people.

“Not another planet” / Quoting Jaffa political activist Abed Abu Shehadeh on why what's happening in Gaza must be explicitly named genocide:
[…] "The continuation of its military activity, combined with stopping humanitarian aid and water and electricity supply... after completely destroying the health system in Gaza, has one name: genocide […] Not war, not hostages, not security – just genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip.”
Abu Shehadeh criticizes Israeli civil society organizations and peace activists for avoiding this harsh reality and focusing instead on future political solutions while Palestinians die daily. He draws a parallel to #Holocaust survivor K. Tzetnik's concept of "another planet," arguing that Israelis view #Gaza as a separate reality where moral rules don't apply. He emphasizes that Gazans, not Israeli feelings or political futures, should be the focus now.
[…] “Then it was clear to me that #Auschwitz is not another planet as I thought before. Auschwitz was not created by the devil, nor by God, but by man… Hitler was not a devil. You could enter a kindergarten, among fifty children there was one child named Adolf Hitler. He was a man…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehiel_De-Nur
He also challenges the framing that blames only #Netanyahu, arguing the entire system is complicit. He calls for radical honesty about Gaza's reality, rejecting attempts to soften language for political acceptance. What matters most now is stopping the genocide, not preserving Israeli political legitimacy.

The Disintegration of Netanyahu's Project — The State No Longer Exists
Qutoing Yoana Gonen on how Israel failed its citizens and operates without moral restraint:
"[...] The government has completely disengaged from any responsibility towards its citizens, and the abandonment has not only continued – it has been expanded, doubled, and normalized. There is no contract, but rather a violent relationship between a rotten government and exhausted citizens. Not only was there no recovery – even shame barely registered.
Gonen, argues that the Israeli government, under #Netanyahu, has fundamentally abandoned its responsibility to its citizens, effectively dismantling the social contract that underpins a democratic state. She contends that recent events—specifically, the U.S.-led release of captive soldier Idan Alexander and the revelation of the circumstances surrounding the death of Tom Godo [*] on October 7th—demonstrate a pattern of neglect, disregard for human life, and a prioritization of political goals over the well-being of Israeli citizens. She concludes that Israel is no longer a state that protects and serves its people, but rather a system where the government operates with impunity and citizens are left vulnerable.
[*] Channel 13 revealed on Sunday that the #IDF killed an Israeli civilian, Tom Godo, on 8 October 2023 while he was hiding in the safe room of his home with his wife and three daughters and covered up the incident.

Quoting from Haaretz editorial:
“This is the face of the occupation, which overtly favors one ethnic group over the other, and which accepts as a given that there are those with rights and those who must pay the price in a division based patently on ethnicity.”
Recurring pogroms in the occupied West Bank village of Kifl Haris, where Jewish settlers, protected by IDF soldiers, conduct events during which Palestinians are confined to their homes under curfew while settlers vandalize property, engage in incitement, and effectively transform the village into a Jewish-only zone.
The specific instance mentioned is part of a broader phenomenon involving settler-requested tours, visits to religious sites like Joseph's Tomb, and archaeological excursions throughout the occupied West Bank, all facilitated by the IDF and resulting in Palestinians being displaced or restricted to ensure the safety and accessibility of these activities for Jewish visitors.
[…] Such incidents have been completely "normalized" by the army and the settlers, with most Israelis not even aware that this is happening, even though this has been taking place for years. When the rioting worshippers depart, they leave behind not just destruction but filth, and above all, villagers whose lives are being inconceivably shaped by these incidents.

Quoting from Haaretz editorial:
“This is the face of the occupation, which overtly favors one ethnic group over the other, and which accepts as a given that there are those with rights and those who must pay the price in a division based patently on ethnicity.”
Recurring pogroms in the occupied West Bank village of Kifl Haris, where Jewish settlers, protected by IDF soldiers, conduct events during which Palestinians are confined to their homes under curfew while settlers vandalize property, engage in incitement, and effectively transform the village into a Jewish-only zone.
The specific instance mentioned is part of a broader phenomenon involving settler-requested tours, visits to religious sites like Joseph's Tomb, and archaeological excursions throughout the occupied West Bank, all facilitated by the IDF and resulting in Palestinians being displaced or restricted to ensure the safety and accessibility of these activities for Jewish visitors.
[…] Such incidents have been completely "normalized" by the army and the settlers, with most Israelis not even aware that this is happening, even though this has been taking place for years. When the rioting worshippers depart, they leave behind not just destruction but filth, and above all, villagers whose lives are being inconceivably shaped by these incidents.

Quoting an anonymous #IDF reservist: "What happened in Sde Teiman is no secret, but most Israelis don't know anything about it, even now, because the Israeli media has almost completely ignored it. This is also the reason I chose to be interviewed. Because Palestinians continue to exit our detention facilities in body bags, and most people around me haven't heard about it."
The source is criticizing the Israeli news program "Real Time" for a misleading report on the infamous torture facility, where systematic abuse of detainees occurres. Instead of exposing the broader, horrific conditions and numerous accounts of torture and death, the program focused narrowly on a single incident involving a physical assault, effectively concealing the larger picture of a brutal and inhumane operation. The reservist argues this selective reporting reflects a pattern within Israeli media to prioritize sensationalized, localized stories over exposing systemic issues and ongoing human rights violations. He believes this allows the abusive practices at facilities like Shitfield to continue unchecked.
