#ישראל — Public Fediverse posts

פרויקט זה על #ישראל/#פלסטין נמצא בפיתוח מתמשך, כך שהוא ישתפר עוד יותר, אך למרות זאת הוא כבר מועיל לקבל סקירה מקיפה למדי ולהבין שהציונות הקולוניאלית החלה הרבה לפני 1948.

Reactions from an IDF soldier

Many IDF soldiers are troubled by what they see

August 2026

There is a danger when we see film of IDF soldiers who are all kitted up such that we cannot see their faces, in assuming they are unaffected by the carnage, death and destruction they witness. There is film of IDF soldiers gleefully smashing up Palestinian homes and no doubt filled with the propaganda of Arab malevolence, who are only too keen on their work. But not all are and our attention has been drawn to an article in Haaretz which describes the trauma of one Israeli soldier.

HAARETZ, August 06 2026

After helping direct artillery fire that claimed civilian lives in Gaza, former Israeli combat medic Yael is struggling with debilitating trauma and remorse. Her long wait for treatment highlights the military’s failure to care for soldiers scarred by war….
Yael, who asked not to use her real name, is 22 years old. She enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces in August 2022. She says she was highly motivated. She wanted to contribute, to do meaningful combat service.

The army listened and granted her wish.. “I left the army and saw the number of children killed, and I was shocked. I started searching obsessively for information online. I looked for the neighborhoods we attacked, the villages,” she recounts. “I saw that many innocent people were killed in these places, I saw pictures of dead children. In the army, they told us we only kill terrorists, but that’s a lie. Artillery fire is imprecise; the army considers a hit within a 50-meter radius to be a good hit.”..
“I have nightmares. I see inside my head dead children, crying mothers. I imagine how the bodies are removed. The guilt doesn’t leave me. How can it? I killed an innocent child, I was the one who fed the targets, it’s on me.”.. She was discharged from the IDF a year and a half ago…..

Since October 7, Haaretz has spoken with more than 300 people suffering from mental injuries caused by the war. Some of them reported suffering from PTSD due to exposure to intense combat experiences. Others described extreme guilt due to the deaths of their comrades in combat or of civilians on October 7. Recently, the barrier of shame has broken. More and more soldiers talk about moral injuries they suffer, often related to exposure to or participation in war crimes prevalent in the Gaza Strip.

The army prevented me from getting treatment,” she says. Only after her mother contacted the battalion commander did he meet with her for a conversation. “I told him I was harming myself and that I had suicidal thoughts,” she says. “I wasn’t exaggerating. I didn’t want to live this suffering anymore, this reality where 18-year-old children are killed, and I hear their last moments. I don’t agree with it. I don’t support it.” The mental health officer ordered her removed from combat duty. About two months later, in December 2024, the IDF discharged her….

When she returned home, the symptoms struck with intensity. She felt she was withering. “I became a shadow of a person. I didn’t see the beauty in life. I saw everything in gray,” she recalls. “Every day I had to cope with such severe panic attacks that I’d scratch myself, hit myself. I was depressed. ..
She felt not only pain in her heart but also anger towards her battery commander (“he’s a scumbag”), and, in fact, towards the entire system. “The state ruined my life, and after it ruined my life, it didn’t bother to give me the treatment I needed. It forced me to prove I was injured, to fight for recognition.” Today, she is in ongoing treatment, taking psychiatric medications, trying to alleviate the pain.

She finds a ray of light in the change in her values, in her moral compass. “Before the army, I was an extreme right-winger, one who would say ‘Death to Arabs.’ That was the myth in school that influenced me,” she explains. “But after the war, I understood that there’s a difference between Hamas terrorists and Palestinian civilians who want peace, who want life. I saw the conditions in which Gazans live. I realized there must be a change, that we must strive for equality, for peace. This is the only way to save the children, to save us all.”

#מוזיקה #ישראל #עברית #בלוג

78 years ago, a people came home.

A country that defies every calculation, every odd, every historical precedent, and yet here she is.

A desert that blooms. A language 2,000 years old, revived and alive on the tongues of children in 2026, ancient enough to carry all of human history, and modern enough to have a word for startup.

A people exiled from their biblical homeland, scattered across every corner of the world, gathered back to one tiny strip of land on the Mediterranean, and building something the world has never seen.

Israel is not another country.

She was born out of loss so devastating. And she dances anyway.

She argues, she creates, she innovates, she loves loudly, she mourns deeply, she gets back up every single time.

She leads in science, in medicine, in technology. Not despite her challenges, but through them.

She has never stopped reaching.

יום עצמאות שמח, ישראל 🕊️🇮🇱

אתמול הצעתי בקבוצת #מיטאפ אחת
לעבור למוביליזון כי נמאס ממיטאפ ומההצעות של הרשת להפוך למנוי בתשלום כי אחרת אני כבר לא צופה בפרופילים ולא רואה מי משתתף/ת באירוע. ונראה לי שלא מעט קבוצות נסגרות כשצריך לשלם על החוויה.
אבל גם #מוביליזון על הפנים, ואני לא מוצא אינסטנס טוב. היו פעם אירועים באינסטנס עברי (even.tooot.im), אבל אני אפילו לא מוצא איך להירשם. וגם נראה לי שלא סופרים את #ישראל ולא תומכים בעברית.

#Israel #ישראל please send your righteous people down the coast to Gaza to help. I believe in your goodness. Thank you to organizations like B’tselem, Rabbis for Human Rights, and companies like Watergen.

דעו מה להשיב על שכתוב ההסטוריה של #נתניהו:

לאחר הפלת שלטון אסד, צצה אצל נתניהו ותומכיו אגדה שמבוססת על מעט בסיס במציאות כאילו כבר החל מהתשיעי לאוקטובר נתניהו החליט לשנות את המזרח התיכון. זה בכלל לא נכון:

https://www.the7eye.org.il/555306

וכזכור, הוא גם לא תכנן את השלב האחרון של המלחמה בלבנון: כל עניין הביפרים וההתנקשות בנסראללה כמעט נכפה עליו.

Why is the return of Naftali Bennett such a popular proposition for a sizeable chunk of Israelis? One that drains support from almost every other party no less.

כתבה של מירב ארלוזורוב בדה מרקר היום: הפוליטיקאים החרדים לא הצליחו להשיג כלום, ואפילו נסוגו לאחור בכנסת הנוכחית:

https://www.themarker.com/news/politics/2025-06-04/ty-article/.premium/00000197-368e-da41-a9f7-3f8e09930000

ההפסדים שמוזכרים בכתבה:
* חוק הגיוס
* בעקבותיו: אובדן הזכות למעונות ל־10,000 משפחות חרדיות
* בלימת תוספת אופק חדש לרשתות החרדיות
* תקציב קצבת האברך לא הוגדל יחסית לימי ממשלת השינוי. והתקציב לאברך אף קטן משמעותית.

האם הנתונים שלה מוטעים?
