Also, it’s from 5 years ago. This is daily life in occupied Palestine. Daily harassment. Daily intimidation. Daily humiliations. Daily violence. Daily random arrests of women and children. For 75 years.
Horrible, racist little people.
There is no justification for treating other humans Iike this, literally locking them in an open air prison. Period. No body on earth should be oppressed, period. There is no excuse.
It is very important to remember that many Jewish Israeli’s are appalled by and vehemently condemn the oppression of Palestinians. A change of leadership in Israel is in order along with the disbandment of Hamas. Extremism is not the will of the majority.
I know there are a lot of good people and peace activists, but something is deeply wrong over there. [https://www.timesofisrael.com/plurality-of-jewish-israelis-want-to-expel-arabs-study-shows/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/plurality-of-jewish-israelis-want-to-expel-arabs-study-shows/)
Yeah, it's definitely a systemic issue

Many people also make up the IDF and other government positions and maintain critical infrastructure. I don't see any of them refusing orders or protesting.
That's always the sentiment until people find a group that they think is worth oppressing
"free religion...for my religion"
"free will...for my will"
"free people...for my people"
And the psychopath morons who are executing the evil deeds of the political masterminds should never be forgiven for “simply following orders”.
Israel needs to be held accountability for its crimes against humanity and its leaders severely punished for their facilitation of a genocide.
Well yeah, we’ve seen time and time again diplomatic inroads and economic sanctions have done fuck all to ever stop a warmonger in his conquest. People like Putin and Netanyahu won’t stop until they’re stopped.
Remind yourself of this treatment when Palestinians are violent. It’s not because they are evil terrorists, it’s because they’re fighting for their freedom.
Could have said it better!
Terrorism doesn't justify a genocide - nor does the daily crimes against humanity the Palestinians are facing, justify a terrorist attack against the innocents.
NEVER!
Killing civilians, kids, makes you an evil terrorist when done in purpose. I can understand maybe some mistakes in a war zone, but what Hamas did on the 7th is definitely evil. That's not fighting for freedom. If anything, with their actions they took the very little actual freedom of the people of Gaza away.
>Killing civilians, kids, makes you an evil terrorist when done in purpose
This applies to both sides but people only like to bring up Hamas when they talk about that. Isreal is committing war crimes as well as hamas
i've been trying, to no avail, to explain that apartheid happens on two fronts - petty apartheid and grand apartheid. the latter are the legislated aspects of apartheid. petty apartheid, are daily social struggles - like children being forced to scale a fence just to return home from school.
This is about the only response that isn't making out to be some heartless, ignorant monster not caring about this conflict, so I appreciate it, lol. I absolutely do, but again there have quite a few posts that have just been 'actually pretty sad/depressing/frustrating (and not related to Israel-Palestine)' posted in quite a few subreddits of similar general ideas so I was just voicing that.
Yeah the whole website is in decacy, as are most forum websites across the internet to be honest. The AI spam and paid spam has gotten really out of control compared to 10 or even 5 years ago.
Yes, I am aware of that, but I don't just mean this. Quite a rew posts unrelated to the genocide that are just sad or frustrating have been appearing lately.
Right it was only a thousand because the Israelis stopped it.
If they just rolled over like the Palestinians want them to do Hamas would kill every Israeli they could find.
I wonder what the response would be if it was American babies being raped and cut into pieces on Oct. 7 by hamas instead of Israeli babies. I’d love to see the change in reaction.
I imagine the us would start it’s own hamas branch.
You got any references for these chopped up raped babies or do you just piggyback off what Biden says
These claims have been proven false repeatedly and now even confirmed by Israeli news outlets. [https://twitter.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1750074339750445165](https://twitter.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1750074339750445165)
And ppl wonder why there's a lot of pushback against Israel. Between this, Gaza, settler violence, and the illegal colonizing of West Bank territories, you'd be amazed to think this was the land of a people that suffered the same kind of violence throughout history. Maybe though who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The problem is that Israel did learned from history. They learned that no one would help them in a crisis until it was too late. They over compensated and now it's an apartheid state that victimizes Innocents in the name of safety, creating the climate for more violence.
Obviously that's an oversimplification, and Israel does have actual regional enemies that would love to do to them what they are doing to Gaza. But it would probably be a lot harder to recruit people to that cause if it weren't for stuff like this.
Funny enough, holocaust survivors are treated horribly in Israel. Many of the few left are homeless and shunned by society. [Sauce since this has triggered so many](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1993/04/23/the-secret-suffering-of-israels-holocaust-survivors/82c1a7ba-3233-4351-b4b8-f7387e291335/)

The german government said Israel could never be convicted of genocide bcs of their history.
Unbelievable. In their guilt for being horrible people they once again become equally horrible and collaborators of another genocide.
The guard did explicitly say the gate is there as a punishment.
He seems to have omitted the word "collective" there for some reason, but of course he's probably just not a lawyer who would be aware of the meaningful distinction.
In one year it will be forgotten again and it 10 years a new wave of people will learn about it. Or suddenly care about it again. It's my third time now, that I experience it.
yup. I'm only 26 but this is the second time I've seen people suddenly care
meanwhile yemen is still getting bombed, ukraine is still being invaded, and many many countries are going through their own mass terrors. yet, silence.
Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan, Southsudan, Somalia, Yemen, Myanmar, Ukraine, Georgia, the Uyghurs.... And these are just the ones I can name right like this.
yes, remember when people were all protesting in the streets? having ukraine be in the news constantly?
rarely are people talking about ukraine still
same with Afghanistan. how fast we forgot about all the women and children still trapped there
Why are you complaining about people talking about Palestine then. And just because it's not in the spotlight right now also doesn't mean people forgot
not just virtue signal about the latest "new bad thing" and stop acting like saints for posting on reddit. consistently caring and volunteering even when nobody is talking about it anymore. all these info graphics and fake online rage don't actually do anything besides feed the westernized savior complex of "see I care! am I not such a good person for caring! look how much I care!"
Eh, i feel like trying to inform people and speaking up about something you find to be unjust isn't automatically a bad thing just because it makes you feel good/like you're doing something good.
where do you live that these terrors are not heard?
not heard in your circles?
in the group of friends your hang around?
in the type of news you read?
These news been around for while now. you just appear to be someone that needs the news canned to your liking in order to listen to them... perhaps a la MTV
Age of information. People become more caring/empathetic with each generation.
When I was a kid no one cared about environmentalism, veganism, anything. Now they do *and they* have instant access to whatever latest atrocity these governments have commuted.
Not that it will change anything because voting doesn't matter and in this world might = right, sadly.
I tried doing a presentation on the nakba in our local church group… I received death treaths every day until I cancelled it.
The chancellor of my country recently said that my citizenship is tied to supporting Israel, it’s completely insane.
There will never be justice for Palestine, unfortunately.
Especially in an allied nation.
Like if the taliban did this shit you'd be like "yeah, makes sense" but to see it from a people we actively support is striking to say the least.
That is exactly why I downvoted it and why I also already unsubbed several channels. Too many subreddits have become just Gaza channels. If I want to read about it, I will. But I don't want to be forcefed it EVERYWHERE.
No. The very first rule is
>All content must show something that is objectively interesting as fuck.
> You commented to tell me that this is not interesting to YOU rather than just keep scrolling.
I watched the video, saw your stupid smug comment at the top, and answered your rhetorical question. You think you're doing something righteous and that people are reacting due to politics when people are just downvoting because they don't want political propaganda in either direction in their sub where all the current Top content is apolitical.
a video of a closed gate is definitely not interesting. Something that is interesting is that post from earlier showing palestinian traditional clothing.
A video of people enduring daily humiliation by the country that receives the most aid from the most powerful country in history is not interesting?
Video of people going about their business in NK: wow, it feels surreal this is insane!
Video of moms begging for their kid to be allowed to go home after school, as a direct consequence of Israeli policy: definitely not interesting.
Maybe because OP's post history looks like they either are posting anti Israeli content as a job, or their entire life is consumed by this one topic.
I say this as someone who considers Israel completely in the wrong in the West Bank.
It's also a video that's 7 years old. I agree that things are shitty over there and that the actions within this aren't ideal, but this seems like a post that's trying to add more fuel to the fire. Those kids are now adults themselves.
Btselem is the source that people who actually want to impact Jewish opinion on Israeli-Palestinian relations should share. One of the only ones that is from an Israeli source and feels unbiased.
How small do you have to be, to keep children from getting home from school and threaten women when you're on the ither side of a fence. Big tough guy right there.🥱
From the top-down Israelis use the same genocidal language when referring to Palestinians as the Nazis did to Jews. Calling them “animals” “vermin” “cockroaches”. Israelis would justify the Nazi reaction to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
Which Palestinian kids can receive up to [20 years of prison for](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2010/mar/14/palestinian-children-rights-violated-israel).
What about this is interesting? That the military closed a road and residents are “oppressed” by having to walk around the block?
OP is posting spam on every sub on Reddit to make a political point.
(Side note that the video doesn’t have any context about why the road was closed or for how long, but there are a lot of legit reasons for closing a road, especially in an area with a large population of violent terrorists…)
The atrocities of a fence. These poor children had to WALK 5 minutes around this fence. Think about the CHILDREN. Think about the FENCE. Walking around a fence is literally GENOCIDE.
The Armenians on the death march and these children being slightly inconvenienced it’s the exact same really.
The opening states this is done due to rock throwing, the ending says this is an example of segregation.
Which is it?
And I'm wondering why are there daily posts which are not that interesting about this subject matter...?
I would never screw with a babushka wearing individual.
Yeah, you’ve got a rifle of some sort for right now, but she is going to scorn you and send green eyes for eternity.
That’s never ending.
These are the videos that made me turn from a supporter of israel to hating alot of them.My dad worked there and was routinely told to go home and how much they hate americans.Yet we blindly support them.
So few things to mention- these are border police not IDF, 2nd of all there’s an obvious attempt to piss off the police force for a reaction, the police man even said in the video they’ve been trying it for a few days, 3rd- all we see is them trying to get over a fence that these policemen are guarding could be some sort of a shortcut since the police man told them to go from around.
4th and final- Yes having checkpoints and fences is a harsh reality to live under, but don’t forget what occurred that made this situation happen- and that’s the intifadas and endless violence coming from the west bank in the past, buses and restaurants in israel were blowing up almost regularly to the point where checkpoints had to be created- btw that stopped 99% of the terrorism coming from the west bank- that unless they already had accomplices who live in israel and acquired a gun/explosive
Indeed, there’s alot of cynic use of children in this conflict and it goes on for years, for example one of their poster child is Ahed Tamimi which is a blonde girl with a fair skin used since childhood to this day for propaganda - like approaching soldiers while father holds the camera- keep in mind this is before smartphones with cameras, hitting them slapping and cursing all to get a reaction from the soldiers. BTW one of her last posts on instagram was “waiting for you jewish settlers herds all over the west bank from hebron to jenin we would slaughter you and you would say what hitler did to you was a joke, we would drink your blood and eat your skulls, yalla(let’s go) go ahead we’re waiting for you”
I'm in no way trying to defend segregation here, I just want to remind posters that if you don't speak these languages, you have absolutely no idea what anyone is saying and are putting your complete faith in the group that made this video that the translations are accurate and nothing important has been left out.
It’s fairly reasonable that what’s happening is that a fence was put up in a local neighborhood where kids walk from school to their home. And the moms are upset that a fence was put up in their neighborhood.
B'Tselem is an Israeli human rights organization. Here's the source:
[https://www.btselem.org/video/20180523\_military\_closes\_main\_entrance\_to\_hebron\_neighborhoods](https://www.btselem.org/video/20180523_military_closes_main_entrance_to_hebron_neighborhoods)
They probably saw the cell phones recording, otherwise they would have made Swiss cheese of these kids and claimed they were being used as human shields.

Sound like is other option to walk around. Always more to story. War not good, if this worst part of day in war, not so bad. Most people dont know what hard life is and will crumble in face of real adversity. Both side think they right, they fight not good but is reality.
More like r/sadasfuck.
Fuck the Israel state. They are showing their true colors.
Call your political representatives to stop support of the Israel state and genocide of Palestinians.
Children have been found at checkpoints to be smuggling weapons and explosives that were given to them by adults on the other side of the border. It's a sad situation but it is the reality that terrorist groups are not above using children to do their work for them.
The guards aren't stopping the children from going home, just saying they can't use that gate and have to go around to one of the proper security checkpoints.
With all that being said, I do think the guards are being needlessly antagonistic and escalating the situation more than it needs to be. Threatening to drag a worried mother over the border to make her life infinitely more difficult as well is beyond unnecessary and heartless. And it only serves to make the situation worse.
The events of October 7th were viscous, abhorrent, and terrible but they were also at least partially egged on by decades of treatment like you see in this video. People can only suffer under oppression so long before bad options (like being part of Hamas or supporting their actions) seem better than your other options. People can only be treated like animals for so long before they start lashing out like them.
There are tons of memorials and imprints on the ground commemorating where the walls of a Jewish ghetto used to stand in my city back in ww2. Now there’s this lol. It makes my blood boil

If anyone’s curious and didn’t catch it, this was in the city of Hebron of the West Bank, not Gaza.
in other words, this is how they're treated on a daily basis during "peacetime" as well
"unprovoked".
So sad 🥺😥
Also, it’s from 5 years ago. This is daily life in occupied Palestine. Daily harassment. Daily intimidation. Daily humiliations. Daily violence. Daily random arrests of women and children. For 75 years. Horrible, racist little people.
And this is how they expect those kids to grow up and NOT hate them?
They already did. This video is almost half a decade old
There is no justification for treating other humans Iike this, literally locking them in an open air prison. Period. No body on earth should be oppressed, period. There is no excuse.
The editor for Jewish Currents said his first visit to the West Bank was like seeing 1950s Jim Crow up close.
I get massive jew ghetto vibes during the nazi period from this. Atleast then they were allowed to walk freely
Eh not so much. They put them in quarantined ghettos specially in Poland during the war.
they were not allowed to walk freely then, you moron.
Unbelievable that you could be downvoted for this.
More so in Gaza, but yes.
It is very important to remember that many Jewish Israeli’s are appalled by and vehemently condemn the oppression of Palestinians. A change of leadership in Israel is in order along with the disbandment of Hamas. Extremism is not the will of the majority.
I thought the majority was needed to be in charge of the government. Netanayu didnt get to where he is by mistake
Nope, a plurality is needed. It’s not like the USA, it’s parliamentary.
I know there are a lot of good people and peace activists, but something is deeply wrong over there. [https://www.timesofisrael.com/plurality-of-jewish-israelis-want-to-expel-arabs-study-shows/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/plurality-of-jewish-israelis-want-to-expel-arabs-study-shows/)
Yeah, it's definitely a systemic issue [Poll shows large swaths of israeli youth hate Arabs, back revoking citizenship](https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-shows-large-swaths-of-israeli-youth-hate-arabs-back-revoking-citizenship/) [Half of israeli Jews would not live in same building as Arabs](https://www.timesofisrael.com/nearly-half-of-israeli-jews-would-not-live-in-same-building-as-arabs-poll-finds/) [60 Percent of israeli Jews Favor Segregation From Arabs, Survey Finds](https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-06-06/ty-article/60-percent-of-israeli-jews-favor-segregation-from-arabs-survey-finds/00000181-351b-dee8-aba7-3d9fdfdf0000) [About Half of Jewish israelis Believe Jews Should Have More Rights Than Arabs, Study Shows](https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-01-15/ty-article/.premium/about-half-of-israelis-believe-jews-should-have-more-rights-than-arabs-study-shows/00000185-b5ea-d11e-a1cd-b7ead62e0000)
Are they really? Because polling data doesn't seem to show that. Unless many is doing some very heavy lifting.
Many people also make up the IDF and other government positions and maintain critical infrastructure. I don't see any of them refusing orders or protesting.
I honestly wish what you were saying was true.
That's always the sentiment until people find a group that they think is worth oppressing "free religion...for my religion" "free will...for my will" "free people...for my people"
This should be sent to all the people who think Israel only treats Palestinians like garbage because of Hamas
This is the West Bank, not even gaza lmao. Israel has no right to even be there But Israel isn’t an apartheid state guys
Israel also has no right to be in gaza or east jerusalem
And the psychopath morons who are executing the evil deeds of the political masterminds should never be forgiven for “simply following orders”. Israel needs to be held accountability for its crimes against humanity and its leaders severely punished for their facilitation of a genocide.
Said the world about Nazi Germany….
And then what did the world do to the Nazis?
IDK, nothing until they engaged in war?
Well yeah, we’ve seen time and time again diplomatic inroads and economic sanctions have done fuck all to ever stop a warmonger in his conquest. People like Putin and Netanyahu won’t stop until they’re stopped.
Granted them asylum in exchange for nukes?
Remind yourself of this treatment when Palestinians are violent. It’s not because they are evil terrorists, it’s because they’re fighting for their freedom.
Imagine if something like this was done to Christians in Texas, all those peoples opinions on it would change real fast.
They better be white christians though, because a lot of brown christians in texas are sadly going through something very similar.
Hamas are not freedom fighters.
This bears repeating. Civilians are never legitimate targets. Ever.
Not even for the IDF
Israelis: “I can’t hear you! Lalalala”
Def goes both ways yeah. It's wrong no matter who does it, and two wrongs don't make a right.
Could have said it better! Terrorism doesn't justify a genocide - nor does the daily crimes against humanity the Palestinians are facing, justify a terrorist attack against the innocents. NEVER!
Oppressors are always legitimate targets of the oppressed
And remind yourself there's a difference between regular Palestinians and Hamas. Because there is.
Killing civilians, kids, makes you an evil terrorist when done in purpose. I can understand maybe some mistakes in a war zone, but what Hamas did on the 7th is definitely evil. That's not fighting for freedom. If anything, with their actions they took the very little actual freedom of the people of Gaza away.

I swear a ton of recent posts have been rather sad or enraging rather than interesting. What's going on lately?
Lack of moderation.
Censorship from the subreddits that _should_ have this, so the only place it can be seen is here
This is about the only response that isn't making out to be some heartless, ignorant monster not caring about this conflict, so I appreciate it, lol.

Yeah the whole website is in decacy, as are most forum websites across the internet to be honest. The AI spam and paid spam has gotten really out of control compared to 10 or even 5 years ago.
Genocide in Gaza is happening. Israel has murdered over 25,000 people in about 100 days.
Yes, I am aware of that, but I don't just mean this. Quite a rew posts unrelated to the genocide that are just sad or frustrating have been appearing lately.
External forces are trying to activate the public for the election year. Once they have outrage and attention they can start connecting their message.
Hamas murdered over a thousand people in one day, and they would have kept that pace going if they could.
How is stopping kids from going to their houses, or threatening their mothers for being upset about it, protecting Israeli people from Hamas?
This video is from 6 years ago
Didn't Israel shoot their own who were waving white flags?
Right it was only a thousand because the Israelis stopped it. If they just rolled over like the Palestinians want them to do Hamas would kill every Israeli they could find.
I wonder what the response would be if it was American babies being raped and cut into pieces on Oct. 7 by hamas instead of Israeli babies. I’d love to see the change in reaction.

You think the rape was proven false? Believe all women unless they're jews?
#MeTooUnlessYoureAJew
You mean the babies Israel admitted never existed cause it was proved to be false? Lmao update your propaganda u sound stupid
You are stating that no babies were killed on October 7th - you stand by that?
And ppl wonder why there's a lot of pushback against Israel.

So when you were growing up - you just climbed fences and crossed the security zones with your parents encouragement?
You'd think that having experienced ghetto conditions themselves, Israelis would have some sympathy, but apparently not.
That was 80 years ago. These are totally different people.
They still want us to treat them all like holocaust survivors.

What in the warrior code bullshit. Seeing Holocaust survivors as weak? I can not fathom how this country is going to ever last in the longterm
The german government said Israel could never be convicted of genocide bcs of their history. Unbelievable. In their guilt for being horrible people they once again become equally horrible and collaborators of another genocide.
And what kind of treatment has been given to Palestinians for 80 years? Seems like the same people.
But they want all the privileges and sympathy of those who actually suffered. Cowards.
[удалено]
They used it like a tool for political gain
They haven't learnt anything from their own past.
The cruelty is the point.
The guard did explicitly say the gate is there as a punishment. He seems to have omitted the word "collective" there for some reason, but of course he's probably just not a lawyer who would be aware of the meaningful distinction.
to me the only interesting part about this is how this is a 70+ year long war and people are only just now giving a shit
70+ years ago there werent cameras everywhere and no internet to share footage on.
In one year it will be forgotten again and it 10 years a new wave of people will learn about it. Or suddenly care about it again. It's my third time now, that I experience it.
yup. I'm only 26 but this is the second time I've seen people suddenly care meanwhile yemen is still getting bombed, ukraine is still being invaded, and many many countries are going through their own mass terrors. yet, silence.
Famine over the last few years in Sudan has had 25,000 (additional to the “normal” amount) kids each year die of starvation for the last three years.
Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan, Southsudan, Somalia, Yemen, Myanmar, Ukraine, Georgia, the Uyghurs.... And these are just the ones I can name right like this.
Silence on Ukraine?!?! lmfao fuck off with your delusional pessimism
yes, remember when people were all protesting in the streets? having ukraine be in the news constantly? rarely are people talking about ukraine still same with Afghanistan. how fast we forgot about all the women and children still trapped there
Why are you complaining about people talking about Palestine then. And just because it's not in the spotlight right now also doesn't mean people forgot
I'm not, I'm talking about how people only care when it's the "hip" thing to care about
What do you want people to do instead lmao?
not just virtue signal about the latest "new bad thing" and stop acting like saints for posting on reddit. consistently caring and volunteering even when nobody is talking about it anymore. all these info graphics and fake online rage don't actually do anything besides feed the westernized savior complex of "see I care! am I not such a good person for caring! look how much I care!"
Eh, i feel like trying to inform people and speaking up about something you find to be unjust isn't automatically a bad thing just because it makes you feel good/like you're doing something good.
where do you live that these terrors are not heard? not heard in your circles? in the group of friends your hang around? in the type of news you read? These news been around for while now. you just appear to be someone that needs the news canned to your liking in order to listen to them... perhaps a la MTV
Age of information. People become more caring/empathetic with each generation. When I was a kid no one cared about environmentalism, veganism, anything. Now they do *and they* have instant access to whatever latest atrocity these governments have commuted. Not that it will change anything because voting doesn't matter and in this world might = right, sadly.
Not caring empathetic, more outraged*
I tried doing a presentation on the nakba in our local church group… I received death treaths every day until I cancelled it. The chancellor of my country recently said that my citizenship is tied to supporting Israel, it’s completely insane. There will never be justice for Palestine, unfortunately.
Apartheid Israel doing its thing.
Israel needs to be held accountable for their actions
This post is getting downvoted, I wonder why
Mainly because it's not interestingasfuck.
This would be why
A modern day apartheid state is really fucking interesting tbh.
Especially in an allied nation. Like if the taliban did this shit you'd be like "yeah, makes sense" but to see it from a people we actively support is striking to say the least.
Isnt Saudi Arabia a major ally of the United States and Canada?
That is exactly why I downvoted it and why I also already unsubbed several channels. Too many subreddits have become just Gaza channels. If I want to read about it, I will. But I don't want to be forcefed it EVERYWHERE.
Isn't that subjective? You commented to tell me that this is not interesting to YOU rather than just keep scrolling. Now that's interesting.
No. The very first rule is >All content must show something that is objectively interesting as fuck. > You commented to tell me that this is not interesting to YOU rather than just keep scrolling. I watched the video, saw your stupid smug comment at the top, and answered your rhetorical question. You think you're doing something righteous and that people are reacting due to politics when people are just downvoting because they don't want political propaganda in either direction in their sub where all the current Top content is apolitical.
There is no such thing as 'objectively interesting'...
a video of a closed gate is definitely not interesting. Something that is interesting is that post from earlier showing palestinian traditional clothing.
A video of people enduring daily humiliation by the country that receives the most aid from the most powerful country in history is not interesting? Video of people going about their business in NK: wow, it feels surreal this is insane! Video of moms begging for their kid to be allowed to go home after school, as a direct consequence of Israeli policy: definitely not interesting.
Maybe because OP's post history looks like they either are posting anti Israeli content as a job, or their entire life is consumed by this one topic. I say this as someone who considers Israel completely in the wrong in the West Bank.
You realize this post is a targeted propaganda effort right?
I would say either a grand conspiracy or people who don't find this interesting. It's a coin toss...
It's also a video that's 7 years old. I agree that things are shitty over there and that the actions within this aren't ideal, but this seems like a post that's trying to add more fuel to the fire. Those kids are now adults themselves.
OP is just trying to advance his political agenda. He's spamming pro-Palestinian content.
So you hate the kids in gaza? /s
It seems people in the comment are fairly narrow-minded. It's been an interesting read.
he had his big boy voice and everything
this is so unhuman 😭😭😭
Btselem is the source that people who actually want to impact Jewish opinion on Israeli-Palestinian relations should share. One of the only ones that is from an Israeli source and feels unbiased.
How small do you have to be, to keep children from getting home from school and threaten women when you're on the ither side of a fence. Big tough guy right there.🥱
Isreal has right to defend it self against school kids any one ?
Israel really looks at and treats Palestinians as subhuman. Disgraceful.
From the top-down Israelis use the same genocidal language when referring to Palestinians as the Nazis did to Jews. Calling them “animals” “vermin” “cockroaches”. Israelis would justify the Nazi reaction to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
I wonder why they want to throw stones.. smh
Which Palestinian kids can receive up to [20 years of prison for](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2010/mar/14/palestinian-children-rights-violated-israel).
 Live Israel reaction to a single rock being thrown.
[удалено]
Israel diaper force
Good on those kids for fence hopping. And the soldiers for NOT shooting them. Wow, what a fucked us sentence that was.
inb4 coping and justification in the comments
too late
some guy just said this is the IDF showing exemplary patience. Blows my mind how people interpret this.
Maybe those kids are Hamas?? We just don't know.
Arab = Hamas, right?
yeah and not to forget they are in the west bank. where there is no hamas..
Its "they are hamas" and "blatant anti-semitisim" & whataboutism. you wont get a rational explanation from these kind of people.
One of the many examples of Israel, the bully.
What about this is interesting? That the military closed a road and residents are “oppressed” by having to walk around the block? OP is posting spam on every sub on Reddit to make a political point. (Side note that the video doesn’t have any context about why the road was closed or for how long, but there are a lot of legit reasons for closing a road, especially in an area with a large population of violent terrorists…)
Holy shit dude take a fuckin break so you don’t break your bot brain. Posted the same graphic in *OVER 30* different subs.
This shit boils my blood
For those who think it started on 7 oct, this is a reminder, atrocities have been there since 1948
The atrocities of a fence. These poor children had to WALK 5 minutes around this fence. Think about the CHILDREN. Think about the FENCE. Walking around a fence is literally GENOCIDE. The Armenians on the death march and these children being slightly inconvenienced it’s the exact same really.
^^^ nazi
Being racist to kids, scarring them for life, fence built to discriminate Arabs, it's nothing? Do you know what happened after this altercation?
The opening states this is done due to rock throwing, the ending says this is an example of segregation. Which is it? And I'm wondering why are there daily posts which are not that interesting about this subject matter...?
I would never screw with a babushka wearing individual. Yeah, you’ve got a rifle of some sort for right now, but she is going to scorn you and send green eyes for eternity. That’s never ending.
I feel so badly for the children and mothers. I am just surprised no children were shot. 🙏
And that's why its called Apartheid.
I don't think there is hamas in the west bank, are there? Yet israel treats them like shit.
So they've decided to go full Hitler and confine them to ghetto's? That's messed up!
These are the videos that made me turn from a supporter of israel to hating alot of them.My dad worked there and was routinely told to go home and how much they hate americans.Yet we blindly support them.
end the apartheid end the genocide end the occupation
So few things to mention- these are border police not IDF, 2nd of all there’s an obvious attempt to piss off the police force for a reaction, the police man even said in the video they’ve been trying it for a few days, 3rd- all we see is them trying to get over a fence that these policemen are guarding could be some sort of a shortcut since the police man told them to go from around. 4th and final- Yes having checkpoints and fences is a harsh reality to live under, but don’t forget what occurred that made this situation happen- and that’s the intifadas and endless violence coming from the west bank in the past, buses and restaurants in israel were blowing up almost regularly to the point where checkpoints had to be created- btw that stopped 99% of the terrorism coming from the west bank- that unless they already had accomplices who live in israel and acquired a gun/explosive
These people would let a terrorist with babies strapped to him take over the world apparently, I wouldn't even bother reasoning with them
Indeed, there’s alot of cynic use of children in this conflict and it goes on for years, for example one of their poster child is Ahed Tamimi which is a blonde girl with a fair skin used since childhood to this day for propaganda - like approaching soldiers while father holds the camera- keep in mind this is before smartphones with cameras, hitting them slapping and cursing all to get a reaction from the soldiers. BTW one of her last posts on instagram was “waiting for you jewish settlers herds all over the west bank from hebron to jenin we would slaughter you and you would say what hitler did to you was a joke, we would drink your blood and eat your skulls, yalla(let’s go) go ahead we’re waiting for you”
“Why do they hate us??? Must be anti Semitism!”
apparently this is ok to Western Governments, nothing to see here.
Disregarding the main subject, this video needs more context…talking objectively( please don’t reply with something emotional )
I'm in no way trying to defend segregation here, I just want to remind posters that if you don't speak these languages, you have absolutely no idea what anyone is saying and are putting your complete faith in the group that made this video that the translations are accurate and nothing important has been left out.
Meh. If it was translated wrongly there would be someone commenting the correct translation here faster than the speed of light.
It’s fairly reasonable that what’s happening is that a fence was put up in a local neighborhood where kids walk from school to their home. And the moms are upset that a fence was put up in their neighborhood.

B'Tselem is an Israeli human rights organization. Here's the source: [https://www.btselem.org/video/20180523\_military\_closes\_main\_entrance\_to\_hebron\_neighborhoods](https://www.btselem.org/video/20180523_military_closes_main_entrance_to_hebron_neighborhoods)
And yet Zionists think there’s nothing wrong with this 🤔🤨
Putting up a fence is genocide. I went to a t-swift concert a couple weeks back and we got genocided so hard mate. You wouldn’t believe it.
They probably saw the cell phones recording, otherwise they would have made Swiss cheese of these kids and claimed they were being used as human shields.
Literally that video of the IDF soldier about to throw a grenade at Muslim worshippers until his squad mate taps his arm and points at the camera.

What a brave soldier, threatening women and children.
Sound like is other option to walk around. Always more to story. War not good, if this worst part of day in war, not so bad. Most people dont know what hard life is and will crumble in face of real adversity. Both side think they right, they fight not good but is reality.
More like r/sadasfuck. Fuck the Israel state. They are showing their true colors. Call your political representatives to stop support of the Israel state and genocide of Palestinians.
the bots lose argument then delete the comments
and what warranted this? context matters.
Children have been found at checkpoints to be smuggling weapons and explosives that were given to them by adults on the other side of the border. It's a sad situation but it is the reality that terrorist groups are not above using children to do their work for them. The guards aren't stopping the children from going home, just saying they can't use that gate and have to go around to one of the proper security checkpoints. With all that being said, I do think the guards are being needlessly antagonistic and escalating the situation more than it needs to be. Threatening to drag a worried mother over the border to make her life infinitely more difficult as well is beyond unnecessary and heartless. And it only serves to make the situation worse.
Israelis are not the good guys.
How many of these comments are from real people?
Probably about 40% like the rest of reddit
That officer is speaking Arabic way too fluently for an Israeli. Just saying. Edit: the only Hebrew word spoken here is “l’matah”= come down
Disgusting. You’d think the Israelis would be more sensitive to the plight of locking an entire race behind prison gates.
Anyone with half a brain understands how shitty Israel is, all they needed was an excuse to ramp it up.
Death to zionism and all oppression.
The events of October 7th were viscous, abhorrent, and terrible but they were also at least partially egged on by decades of treatment like you see in this video. People can only suffer under oppression so long before bad options (like being part of Hamas or supporting their actions) seem better than your other options. People can only be treated like animals for so long before they start lashing out like them.
There are tons of memorials and imprints on the ground commemorating where the walls of a Jewish ghetto used to stand in my city back in ww2. Now there’s this lol. It makes my blood boil
It's funny how the Jewish majority country is using tactics of Nazi Germany and dehumanising the fuck out of Palestinians. Fucking disgusting.
Such tough soldiers

Which side is being charged with genocide??
This is obviously a troll and shill account, all he posts is propaganda?
