It is obvious that the Israelis hate anything that starts with the
letter oH,o such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Hormuz. So, what do
Israelis like? Here is a list of things that Israelis like to do:

The Israeli army destroyed the statue of Jesus Christ in the Christian
village of Debel, South Lebanon, just for fun.
Israeli soldiers bulldozed the solar panels that provide electricity
and water in South Lebanon.
Israel deliberately targets civilian populations in Palestine,
Lebanon, and Iran (not military targets).
Israeli soldiers have engaged in the systematic rape of Palestinian
men, women, and children in Israeli prisons.
As of now, at least 77 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli
custody since October 7, 2023, and a total of 306 prisoners have died
in custody since 1967. Source: Middle East Monitor.
Israeli residents are not allowed to have a garage sale whenever they
want. Instead, they must obtain a special permit from the government
before holding one. I guess the government wants its fair share of
taxes.
Believe it or not, several Israeli professors and teachers have faced
serious legal consequences u including imprisonment u for publicly
expressing sympathy for Palestinian civilians in Gaza, particularly in
the wake of the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Attacking Christians and Christian sacred sites is a state policy of
Israeli apartheid.

Targeting journalists, doctors, schools, and places of worship during
war is a war crime. Regardless, the Israelis are still doing it with
impunity.
Palestinians living in the West Bank or Jerusalem u and even those who
hold Israeli citizenship u could go to jail if they post criticisms of
Israel or express sympathy for Palestinian victims on social media.
Israel can bulldoze any Palestinian home at whim by simply telling the landowner that they have no building permit or that the area has been
declared a military zone.
For leisure time, Israeli settlers can enter Palestinian villages, set
homes and properties on fire, and steal Palestinian livestock under
the protection of the IDF. Soldiers will arrest any Palestinian who
tries to defend themselves.
Israelis can expel any Palestinian to another country without due
process, even though such an act is contrary to international law.
Israeli Security Minister Ben Gvir publicly brags about abusing 10,000 Palestinian prisoners, stating: oBecause of me, all the rights of
Palestinians in prison have been taken away. I took away their food,
their visits, their time in the yard, their right to education, and
now I want to take their lives too.o https://x.com/Abuyousef/status/2043256252470378557?s=20

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi insulted the Virgin Mary and called her a
prostitute who cheated on her husband. This is very offensive to me as
a Muslim. Muslims believe in Mary, the mother of Jesus (Maryam), and
hold her in exceptionally high esteem. She is considered one of the
most righteous women in Islam, a figure of purity, and a mother chosen
by God for a miraculous birth. https://x.com/DrLoupis__/status/2039079842512003427?s=20
Israeli citizens have frequently spied on the U.S., stolen top-secret
U.S. information, and sold it to American adversaries for the highest
bidder.
Palestinian residents, including children, are subject to military
courts, but their Israeli counterparts are not.
Israel can hold the remains of Palestinians as hostages indefinitely
as a form of punishment to their families, despite the fact that this
violates both Muslim and Jewish laws, which require the deceased to be
buried within 24 hours.
It has been widely reported in the press that Israelis have stolen
body organs from killed Palestinians without the knowledge of their
families, to be sold on the black market.
Spitting on Christians is a common practice in Israel, according to
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli Minister of National Security.
Jews in Jerusalem regularly and ritually spit on Christians and their
churches.
Purposely spitting on a Jew or a synagogue anywhere is considered
antisemitic. The same should apply the other way around. WhatAs good
for the goose is good for the gander.
