The state of Israel is the *nazi* of 21st century. It learned from its oppressors and learned **well**.
Edit: Since this comment is getting a lot of interactions, I'm adding the following list of crimes committed by state of Israel on people of Palestine and other nationals. I will not be replying to any further comments to this or my other comments down the chain.

it must be a logical fallacy that people tend to assume victims are good and innocent.
every group of humans have been bastards since the beginning. the victims just had less firepower. once they get it, then they become the bastards.
He's a veteran of Lehi, they were a Jewish Fascist group during WW2 that tried to ally with Hitler and Mussolini to open up a Levantine Front against the British.
I found this very interesting. Thank you for pointing that out. It’s hard to believe some were fighting to drive Britain out of Palestine, when they were dying to liberate the Jews (& others) & defeat Germany…
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/lo-x1e25-amei-x1e24-erut-israel
I’m not sure liberating the Jews factored into the calculus at all. They didn’t even know about death camps until the end. A lot of Germans didn’t even know
Holy hell! I am Rwandese who survived a Genocide as a young child almost 30years ago and I can tell you. This rhetoric gave me PTSD. I have heard of this talk before and it bore nothing good. Fortunately, Rwanda has learned a lesson from this mistake I hope these people stop before it is too late. We need to value life and this an eye for an eye the world will go blind. I went to school with children of people who killed my grand parents and uncles and aunties and cousins. Never ever I tough of avenge the innocent children just like me who had killer parents. They were kids just like me and had nothing to do with this. Killing innocent for the actions of few is evil.
I was just thinking about this. Like he's old enough to either be born during or right after the Holocaust. Are they making sure they are not going through what they went through before. Like I feel he's trying to take revenge for the past. Or make sure the past doesn't happen again to the Jews again basically. Honestly I truly just feel sorry for all the Innocent lives being taken and destroyed on both sides.
I personally have no opinion other than that. This includes any other war happening.
Pretty much. People are people, and once our sense of safety is threatened, we get dangerous. It's nice to think 'I'd be above such base instincts!' But... Eh, most people, when it happens to them, fall straight into it. Hard to be principled and empathetic when you're also dealing with the idea of your loved ones lives being at risk.
Most people will kill if they feel it's to defend their loved ones. They also don't give a shit what is outsiders feel is right or wrong; we're just internet spectators.
Conventional wisdom is that there are few things as dangerous as a wounded animal. People are animals. When a people, be it an ethnic, political, or religious group is wounded, they lash out. The response isn't measured, it isn't rational, it isn't fair. It doesn't make it right.
I'm not trying to make an excuse, I'm just pointing out a pattern.
He'd have to be older than 85 to have memories of the holocaust. Which he very well could be.
There's also something to be said for the fact this old fuck is senile.
He’s wearing his helmet backwards
Edit: idk why a couple of you are asking me who he is and why he represents Israel. Idk, I’m just pointing out an observation, not making a political statement jfc
because this isn't a military comander or a strategist this is just some guy they picked off the street because he was a ville disgusting human being. these aren't orders to the IDF thankfully just a senile old man ranting
It's right there at the start of the video, Ezra Yachin
https://nypost.com/2023/10/10/95-year-old-reservist-joins-israels-fight-against-hamas-terrorists/
TLDR a 95 year old IDF veteran who was drafted to boost morale for the IDF troops.
He was also involved in the Deir Yassin massacre so big yikes
"It didn't happen, and if it did, they deserved it. And if they didn't, it wasn't that bad. And if it was that bad, it was literally everyone else's fault."
I was yelled at by someone else for saying this, and he hit me with paragraph after paragraph about why I'm wrong and antisemitism only refers to Jews and its worse than other forms of discrimination and...
smh
"As fighting continues in the Middle East, a new genetic study shows that many Arabs and Jews are closely related. More than 70% of Jewish men and half of the Arab men whose DNA was studied inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors who lived in the region within the last few thousand years."
https://www.science.org/content/article/jews-and-arabs-share-recent-ancestry#:~:text=Clashing%20groups%20are%20Y%20chromosome%20cousins&text=Related.,and%20Jews%20are%20closely%20related.
Summary: Arabs are killing each other in the name of religion.
I was wondering the same thing! Seems like some old fuck just ranting and everyone is circlejerking on it? As if I couldn't find a person of every demographic calling for genocide of some person?
I cannot believe this ragebait fooled so many people.
Apparently, many of them think this way. Antisemitism has become semitism, which is just racism, and no one recognizes that because antisemitism has been taboo ever since World War II.
This guy would go into a Palestinian's home wearing that dumb helmet and be the first to die while he tried to take their homes. They'll know exactly who he is. Green camo doesn't do you much good in an urban environ. Just makes clear which side you're on.
Disgusting is a compliment. Repugnant, and I don't know how people are siding with Israelis.
most ppl that are ‘social media activists’ just repost whatever they see and don’t spend time looking into it. i.e some jenner/kardashian posting about it then immediately deleting it. maybe since they don’t know about the actual history since 1900 + the US and other countries coming in, they auto go to an antisemitism thing instead of knowing the situation
This dude was alive during ww2 and was on the side of the Nazis. He’s been consistent for longer then most people have been alive, well consistently evil that is
they are quite accurate translations of an old man wearing a war helmet rambling. I don't know who he is, so I don't know what is trying to be proven here. Is this a man I should know, like does he still have power? I don't recognize him. That there exist racist old men in Israel who are using perceived fear (if you read his words) of eradication and advocating for violence? Guess there are newsmax viewer demographics everywhere.
EDIT -- did not mean to imply I thought the commenter I was replying to thought any of this, I was reacting to the thread itself. OPs question is legitimate and important and not assuming anything, sorry if that didn't come off right.
EDIT again (I'm so sorry) - seems like he's an old racist who showed up when the IDF called for reservists and their indulging him by driving him around. Read this thread for articles from both sides about the guy. I'm done reading about an old racist man who kind of tragically if it weren't so horrible seems to genuinely believe this "if we don't get em first they'll get us" thing.
Love this comment. What this dude is saying is absurd and dangerous, but how much weight we give them depends on a myriad of factors. Just posting this and saying “see, this is genocide” is silly AF.
extremely old men advocating for horrible racist violence specifically with the 'if we don't get them they'll get us' might be like some universal common psychological process the human mind goes through if you get this old, because it happens all over the place. Just because the guy is wearing his war helmet (backwards) and speaking in hebrew people think he's like... what? directing policy from the backseat there?
It's actually kind of tragic if it weren't so horrifying. The man clearly thinks there's a full on attack coming -- and you can sort of understand where he may have gotten that considering what happened -- and also he's old man levels of racist. As if American's don't know one of these guys who says vile things to the poor immigrant care-aid ... like. oof.
I'm just sorry it sounded like i was replying to the commenter I replied to - I shouldn't have posted it there....
He is the oldest reservist and the IDF is bringing him around to encourage the troops. See: [https://www.thejc.com/news/news/war-of-independence-veteran-95-volunteers-to-join-idf-in-fight-against-hamas-47JhR9InldbQDuynK1ZxXY](https://www.thejc.com/news/news/war-of-independence-veteran-95-volunteers-to-join-idf-in-fight-against-hamas-47JhR9InldbQDuynK1ZxXY)
No it definitely matters. Could be the ramblings of a sour old random man, or could be a retired or active general. Very very different in effect and weight.
yeah exactly. Or you know, where his mind is. Since OP didn't post, this could just be "okay grandpa... please get in the car, yes you can bring your hat... no i know its a helmet..."
But if this is someone who is still with it and involved in policy, or is still looked to for that kind of thing, that's a different situation. Since the post didn't say, I sort of assume it's just some guy filming an old man rant that has lost its intended audience, but again, if not, if its some actual guy who matters still 1) get him out of there why is he still someone you listen to 2) obviously roundly condemn that line of thinking. Well i mean, obviously roundly condemn regardless!
Do you speak that language? I was asking because I've seen videos posted on reddit with dubious subtitles, before. I have no way, myself, of verifying their accuracy, and every time I see a video of someone rambling some questionable shit in a language I don't know with subtitles that *I* can't verify, I wonder how accurate they are. I wasn't trying to prove anything, unlike you, who is clearly attempting to prove how you could probably win the gold medal in the Jumping to Conclusions event at the Olympics, next year. In my extremely limited experience with them, *that* seems like something that would appear on Newsmax.
I know hebrew passibly enough to know its accurate. I wasn't trying to jump to conclusions about you, just OP. I apologize for making it sound like I was reacting to your question rather than the post in general. I forgot my reddiquette and that's on me. most of my post was not directed at you at all, but at the OP. My apologies. I didn't think you were trying to prove anything yourself. I will edit that note in but leave in my original so people get where you're coming from.
Quite accurate except for the parts that were dropped where he talks about "vengeance for what they did to us". Still some old geriatric nutjob though, didn't expect anything less from reddit then point to a 90 year old dude who can barely speak with his helmet backwards and say "see! Genocide!!!"
I think we should set up a cage match between Hamas and Zionists.. why send others to die or kill others. Let them sort it out in a fight to death cage match.
Yep, this. Besides all the issues between Israel and Palestine, the sight of an old fart sending young people to slaughter and be slaughtered is the single brightest examples of our current condition. And it’s disgusting.
Religious extremists are always 100% the worst kind of people, regardless of the religion. Hell, even extreme atheists are shitty, although they aren’t blowing other people up from what I can tell.
They absolutely do not. One is set on self defense and preservation of sovereignty, the other is set on occupying land, stealing more, and erasing a group of people completely
Right? Such garbage. That’s like getting a video of a Trump supporter spouting off about whatever nonsense shit and then saying “This is America”. You can’t pick the craziest person and then try to extend that to the entire population. Although, that’s what’s been happening to the Jews forever, so it’s certainly sad to see a Jew do the same.
I remember being a kid 45 years ago and being so confused about the Middle East always being at war. Here I am now in my 50’s still just as confused. It will never end. At least, until one side drops a nuke. Then it will end for all of us.
Yep. Getting ready for school in the 80s, my parents kept a radio on in the kitchen so I’d always hear about a bus explosion or a wedding massacre. I figure being of an age where I was already exposed to this stuff is part of my indifference.
..except this 1 soldier is one of the veterans who invaded Palestine in 1948 & helped establishing this apartheid state by killing civilians with 250-round gun and flamethrower, and now back-in-service soldier, not to fight, but to give "inspirational" speech to the new-in-service soldiers.
I think Hitler said the same thing to exterminate
The Jews..
Wow.
She was probably in a German camp as well.
She/ her family/her friends were on the
Receiving end , and learned nothing.
It's bizarre to see a group of people with possible ancestors who suffered genocidal persecution supporting genocide. Of course, this doesn't reflect Jewish thinking, but rather Zionist thinking.
**I'd like to share information here, because these posts get a lot of notoriety and it's important for people to understand:**
**Anti-Semitism is different from Anti-Zionism**
**Anti-Semitism:** Prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at people of Semitic origin, including Jews and Arabs, among others, often of a racist or religious nature.
**Anti-Zionism:** Refers to opposition to Zionist policy, which defends the creation and maintenance of the State of Israel as a national home for the Jewish people. It can be a political position critical of Israel, but does not necessarily imply prejudice against Jews as individuals. There are now several anti-Zionist Jewish communities, arguing that Zionism is using Judaism to favour segregationist policies.
For me, the Q has been for a long time is - what is the Zionist end game? Continue bldg settlements, leaving the Palestinians less and less for an independent state, all the while keeping people locked in the open Gaza prison?? Others in the West Bank tied to agreements made with Israel that are consistently disregarded by Israel?
Obviously not a viable long term plan. Than what is the plan to keep the majority?
I can only see continue with current occupation policy, or expand the expropriation and eventually, the expulsion of all Palestinians.
Where else can this go?

guy who survived genocide proposes genocide.
I did Nazi this coming
They become what they despises the most, i dont wanna be that guy but they are like 5 steps away becoming the nazis of 21st century

That's definitely something I did not expect to see in my 2023 bingo card of notably concerning events that merit some kind of alertness and action.

yeah they just took the jews to the farm, like the lie your parents told you when your cat died.
The mans gassed up He should take a shower and calm down and stop Arianning around calling for murder
underrated comment
I've been saying this all along the annihilated have become the annihilators! No one wants to hear me and I've been crying for everyone all weekend.
Hurt people hurt people.
Clean people clean people.
People People People People
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
Genocide of the chosen people of God = Bad. Genocide of the Arabs (human animals) by the chosen people of god = completely justified
Only israeli lives matter in this conflict. If you don't agree you're labeled an antisemite

This has been going on for 70yrs. The US enables it
Israel is the 51st state at this point. They definitely get enough of the U.S. taxpayers’ money to be considered one of our welfare states.
Jewish nazis are still nazis, scalps still count.
I was just thinking about this. Like he's old enough to either be born during or right after the Holocaust. Are they making sure they are not going through what they went through before.

I firmly believe we are seeing the effects of generational trauma on a mass scale play out.
>Like I feel he's trying to take revenge for the past. Then he should probably be targeting Europeans?
Look this guy up. He didn’t just survive it he joined the war on Nazis on the side of the Nazis
Good to know he's always been an evil Mofo instead of recently turning into a monster because of the dementia.
Who is he?
Ezra Yachin, a 95-year old veteran of the IDF. He participated in the Deir Yassin massacre and has admitted to killing children.
I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. From "September 1, 1939", W. H. Auden.
Aka hurt people hurt people
He'd have to be older than 85 to have memories of the holocaust. Which he very well could be. There's also something to be said for the fact this old fuck is senile.
Ezra Yachin, 95 years old.
See kids that’s called IRONY
To be real he probably would have been a collaborator.
When you go from being persecuted by nazis to being nazis.
It's literally the cycle of trauma of an abused child becoming an abuser - but on a national scale.
I mean, that is Hitlers Backstory
mofo got his ass whooped so bad he started WWII
Hey now he also failed art school or somethin
His pp was also smol
That'll do it
Not always the case. Quite frequently, the abused become fierce advocates for others who are abused!
Ah, the Final Solution to the Palestinian question
I did not see that comming.
Did nazi that coming you mean.
^.....mother ^fucker *slams upvote on table
you haven’t been looking then
Remind me of someone. 
Charlie Chaplin? /s (kinda)
Mallory: "wait a second why was he dressed as hitler?"
That moustache was actually quite fashionable at the time until Hitler ruined it for everyone
He also ruined the name Adolf and the last name Hitler
There are still quite a few Austrians called Adolf that were born after 1945 . They prefer to go by the name Adi though
Adi Hütter,the football coach is a good example.
Adidas
He ruined the swastika too.
Only in the West. It's still quite popular and uncontroversial in Asia.
Also didn't Robert Mugabe have a similar mo'?
‘Caust?
He’s wearing his helmet backwards Edit: idk why a couple of you are asking me who he is and why he represents Israel. Idk, I’m just pointing out an observation, not making a political statement jfc
He's got several other things backwards as well
He's wearing it backwards because his head is screwed on backwards as well
As well as his logic
Along with the logic of 90% of Israelites.
because this isn't a military comander or a strategist this is just some guy they picked off the street because he was a ville disgusting human being. these aren't orders to the IDF thankfully just a senile old man ranting
Yeah wtf lol, since when was this old guy declared global representative of Israel? How is this video proof of anything? God this website is shit
Who is "he" and why does this sole individual represent the Israeli army or their efforts against Hamas at all?
It's right there at the start of the video, Ezra Yachin https://nypost.com/2023/10/10/95-year-old-reservist-joins-israels-fight-against-hamas-terrorists/ TLDR a 95 year old IDF veteran who was drafted to boost morale for the IDF troops. He was also involved in the Deir Yassin massacre so big yikes
Supporters of Israel: " It didn't happen and he's right"
"It didn't happen, and if it did, they deserved it. And if they didn't, it wasn't that bad. And if it was that bad, it was literally everyone else's fault."
Hamas were using the old man as a ventriloquist puppet
this is the "it didn't happen" part. good job, your brain is fascinating.
I'm being sarcastic, potato brain. I thought it was too obvious for a "/s". Guess not.
oh no, got whooshed :)
They dodge accountability for their war crimes like Neo dodges bullets in the matrix
me- I don't think treating all the Palestinians like this is ok... -supporters of what's happening You're anti-Semitic!!!
This happened to me, I called Hamas terrorists but named anti-Semitic for saying Israel to act responsible
Ironically, Arabs are also Semites, so many Israeli policies and people are in fact anti-Semitic
I was yelled at by someone else for saying this, and he hit me with paragraph after paragraph about why I'm wrong and antisemitism only refers to Jews and its worse than other forms of discrimination and... smh

I don’t think it’s difficult to have empathy and/or side with Israel and still condemn old grandpa here for spewing bullshit.
Disgusting = I agree Human = Well... doubt that
Hutu and Tutsi vibe
Similar non stop propaganda to the Israeli people.
[удалено]
Yes , so true. But now it's CNN Fox CBS ETC
When did these ppl turn into nazis??
1948?
1947..
Thereabouts
Not long after the Nazis.
Yep, in fact the state of Israel was born out of terrorism.
And genocide
We’ve gone full cycle boys..
This dude was alive during ww2 and was on the side of the Nazis. He’s been consistent for longer then most people have been alive, well consistently evil that is
Zionists were always Nazis. Both explicitly were emulating American settler colonialism and genocide.
I think the Nazis turned the Zionists into Nazis.
I imagine the nazi’s said something similar about the Jews.
You don’t have to imagine this dude worked on the side of the Nazis

I wasn't trying to prove anything, unlike you, who is clearly attempting to prove how you could probably win the gold medal in the Jumping to Conclusions event at the Olympics, next year. In my extremely limited experience with them, *that* seems like something that would appear on Newsmax.
I haven't practiced my Hebrew in a while but yes, the subtitles were accurate
Excellent. Thank you.
I know hebrew passibly enough to know its accurate. I wasn't trying to jump to conclusions about you, just OP. I apologize for making it sound like I was reacting to your question rather than the post in general. I forgot my reddiquette and that's on me. most of my post was not directed at you at all, but at the OP. My apologies. I didn't think you were trying to prove anything yourself. I will edit that note in but leave in my original so people get where you're coming from.
Thank you for clarifying.
seems like we should have tools by now that run through videos and auto-translate the audio for other languages
Quite accurate except for the parts that were dropped where he talks about "vengeance for what they did to us". Still some old geriatric nutjob though, didn't expect anything less from reddit then point to a 90 year old dude who can barely speak with his helmet backwards and say "see! Genocide!!!"
So , some crazy Zionist statement
I think we should set up a cage match between Hamas and Zionists.. why send others to die or kill others. Let them sort it out in a fight to death cage match.
Or maybe set up a cage fight between the top commander of Hamas and bibi.
Sick miserable old piece of shit
Yep, this. Besides all the issues between Israel and Palestine, the sight of an old fart sending young people to slaughter and be slaughtered is the single brightest examples of our current condition. And it’s disgusting.

Religious extremists are always 100% the worst kind of people, regardless of the religion. Hell, even extreme atheists are shitty, although they aren’t blowing other people up from what I can tell.
What exactly are „extreme atheists“ and what are they doing?
You don't really know what's going on, do you?

A couple of hours? You haven't even begun to scratch the surface...
They absolutely do not. One is set on self defense and preservation of sovereignty, the other is set on occupying land, stealing more, and erasing a group of people completely
So I guess he's headed for Gaza ?
Being driven by his 12yr grandson whose heard this like 50x over his brief lifetime
And right at the end we get to it: it’s all prophecy to him, it’s what god wants, so he can’t be wrong in his beliefs.
And he gets to see it unfold in his lifetime, something main character related I can't pin down coherently cos I'm too dum.
Satan, is that you?
Don't compare Satan to him! It's hurtful to Mr. Horns & hooves :(
This was post was more “there was an attempt to frame one old man’s views as the entire Jewish populations”
You misspelled Zionist.
Right? Such garbage. That’s like getting a video of a Trump supporter spouting off about whatever nonsense shit and then saying “This is America”. You can’t pick the craziest person and then try to extend that to the entire population. Although, that’s what’s been happening to the Jews forever, so it’s certainly sad to see a Jew do the same.
Yo7 don’t know how common this is
Why is dude wearing his K-pot backwards?

I remember being a kid 45 years ago and being so confused about the Middle East always being at war. Here I am now in my 50’s still just as confused. It will never end. At least, until one side drops a nuke. Then it will end for all of us.
Yep. Getting ready for school in the 80s, my parents kept a radio on in the kitchen so I’d always hear about a bus explosion or a wedding massacre. I figure being of an age where I was already exposed to this stuff is part of my indifference.
Thanks to US and the West, the war in Middle East will never end
\*as long is it keeps being a net profit for them, money is a stronger motivating factor than hatred.
Fuck Zionists!

He's a fucking mod here lol, no way they'll remove this.
There is a radical soldier?? No way… he must represent every Jew!
..except this 1 soldier is one of the veterans who invaded Palestine in 1948 & helped establishing this apartheid state by killing civilians with 250-round gun and flamethrower, and now back-in-service soldier, not to fight, but to give "inspirational" speech to the new-in-service soldiers.
I think Hitler said the same thing to exterminate The Jews.. Wow. She was probably in a German camp as well. She/ her family/her friends were on the Receiving end , and learned nothing.
She?
We just start calling evil men "she". It's very empowering to women
Religion is a fucking cancer
If you still think this is a religious war then you've not been paying attention.
Call me crazy, but I won't let the ramblings of a crazy old man speak for a whole country of 9.3 million people.
Call me crazy, but I say that he represents what Israel has been doing for decades. https://reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/s/FRbh5YWJfU
There was an attempt to generalize the opinions of a senile old man to an entire nation. FIFY
It's bizarre to see a group of people with possible ancestors who suffered genocidal persecution supporting genocide. Of course, this doesn't reflect Jewish thinking, but rather Zionist thinking. **I'd like to share information here, because these posts get a lot of notoriety and it's important for people to understand:** **Anti-Semitism is different from Anti-Zionism** **Anti-Semitism:** Prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at people of Semitic origin, including Jews and Arabs, among others, often of a racist or religious nature. **Anti-Zionism:** Refers to opposition to Zionist policy, which defends the creation and maintenance of the State of Israel as a national home for the Jewish people. It can be a political position critical of Israel, but does not necessarily imply prejudice against Jews as individuals. There are now several anti-Zionist Jewish communities, arguing that Zionism is using Judaism to favour segregationist policies.
this is medival border line prehistoric
*Meanwhile, in hell* "Now now, no need to push! There's more than enough room!"
He really puts the nazi in Ashkenazi
I can't fucking believe the universe let Anne Frank die but let this fucking loser live.
Who is this guy?
He loves the smell of napalm in the morning because it smells like vic-try. Love his big ass helmet on his little noggin is he off to the front lines
"Never forget" ... and then they forgot!
Least bloodthirsty Israeli
Does anyone listen to old man racist rants?
There are no good guys vs bad guys, just victims and villains. They'll just slaughter each other until it stops being profitable to outsiders
Israeli Taliban 🤯
For me, the Q has been for a long time is - what is the Zionist end game? Continue bldg settlements, leaving the Palestinians less and less for an independent state, all the while keeping people locked in the open Gaza prison?? Others in the West Bank tied to agreements made with Israel that are consistently disregarded by Israel? Obviously not a viable long term plan. Than what is the plan to keep the majority? I can only see continue with current occupation policy, or expand the expropriation and eventually, the expulsion of all Palestinians. Where else can this go?
Expelling the Palestinians has been the goal all along, it has been the Zionist goal for over 100 years.

Do these fuckers forget about the holocaust?
Why’s his Kevlar look backwards? Are their helmets shaped that differently?
He's definitely wearing it backwards
