    Israel┤s genocide in Gaza may go down as the first genocide in history
    where the perpetrators have documented, posted, shared and celebrated
    their crimes on social media.

    The ownership of "social media" is as thoroughly stratified
    and consolidated as "legacy media". And how to exclude Google
    from the list of "media"? If they are all advertising agencies,
    why pick on "social media?" Social Media has been Proven to be
    of Followers, while Legacy Media have been the Leaders;
    there are no "X-Twitter Mobs", they all accept that the basic
    facts have already been established by the national media,
    and react so forth.


    Over the past 10 months, Israeli soldiers in Gaza have taken photos
    and videos of themselves while they blew up homes and schools, and
    tortured captives.

    To boast of their atrocities against civilians, Israeli forces have
    routinely filmed themselves demolishing residential blocks in Gaza,
    which they proceeded to share online. In June, an Israeli soldier
    filmed himself walking triumphantly amid the ruins and rubble of a
    destroyed neighborhood in Gaza, while boasting: "We were asked to
    clear the area. Blow it all up. What can I do, I┤m an obedient
    soldier. Tomorrow there won┤t be anything here."

    The most disturbing photos feature Israeli soldiers posing mockingly
    with belongings of slain Palestinians, mainly women┤s underwear, or
    playing with Palestinian children┤s toys and bikes.

    Israeli soldiers have recorded themselves looting jewelry, clothes,
    and valuables from the homes of Palestinians they have bombed and
    ethnically cleansed in Gaza.

    Many photos feature soldiers basking gleefully in the ruins of bombed
    homes, schools and hospitals. A recent photo, taken in the wake of a
    horrific massacre in Gaza City, shows a group of Israeli soldiers
    posing, some with smiles, in front of a destroyed hospital they had
    converted into a military base.

    In some cruel instances, the soldiers filmed themselves inside
    occupied homes in Gaza: cooking food left uneaten by victims, drinking
    Arabic coffee, lying in bathtubs, urinating on the ruins of homes, or throwing food at demolished houses to mock starving Palestinians.

    Many photos feature soldiers with defenseless Palestinian captives. An Israeli soldier recently shared a photo on his private Instagram
    account showing himself in a destroyed building in Rafah, hovering
    over kidnapped Palestinians in inhumane conditions, all blindfolded
    and handcuffed while lying on the floor.

    By posting these photos, the soldiers wish to cast themselves in a
    heroic image back home.

    There you go, Jewish bragging and antisemitic tears! And it
    will not fade away!

    The message everybody hears that "Jews is good; antisemites is bad",
    has got to be technically the easiest shibboleth to crack,
    but the outlawing of antisemitism has made it not possible
    for reputable experts to disavow it.

    Alas, it's not possible to produce literature that only
    affects a certain group and not others: Jewish pride
    sparks antisemitic fears and antisemitic optimism begats
    Jewish fear. Sometimes it's the same piece of literature
    that serves both causes. Maybe the meaning of Equality is
    to produce literature that marries Jewish arrogance and
    antisemitic impudence to equally appeal to the opposite
    sides? Sorry, but "AI" couldn't handle such a project,
    AI in practice has only dumbed down / dissembled where
    ever it's been used, "futurists" be damned.

    However, sometimes this can backfire. For
    instance, in December, an Israeli soldier was filmed holding a gun
    over a young Palestinian man, Hamza Abu Halima, from Shuja┤iyya
    neighborhood in Gaza City. The soldier then posted the video online,
    and a screenshot taken from the video went viral. It showed Hamza,
    stripped of his clothes, facing the soldier fearlessly and defiantly.
    It made Hamza an icon of bravery and resilience, earning him the title
    "Lion of Gaza." The soldier deleted the video.
    nod to genocide.

    Any proof such a video exists? So far as I know there
    are no publicly accessible archives of "controversial posts",
    whether they are social media, legacy media, etc. It's
    considered a crime by Jewish anti-intellectualism for the public
    to see what someone else has subsequently deleted.


    Unbound by the moral corruption of the U.S. political class,

    Any evidence that moral corruption is reserved for Americans?

    anti-genocide activists are calling for a mass mobilization to arrest Netanyahu for war crimes. Jewish Voice for Peace and dozens of partner

    The internal Jew vs Jew pro and anti Israel debate is ever
    present but non-Jews are the only ones who are blamed for
    taking a side, that is what both "Jewish Sides" agree on.

    organizations will issue a mass notice of citizen┤s arrest for
    Netanyahu. Humanity itself is at stake. If there remains a shred of
    justice in this world, Netanyahu should be arrested for his war crimes
    on the Senate floor.

    Or Senate or Theirs? Some say the same about Trump.
    Perhaps "we" can "exchange asylum", so once arrested by
    the respective Parliaments, Trump can rule in absentia
    from Israel and Netanyahu can rule in absentia from the USA.
