New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.
Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.
Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.
In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.
Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel.
The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.
Nothing can justify the number of civilian casualties (tens of thousands of women and children) inflicted by Israel in Gaza in the last two years. We should end all U.S. military aid to Israel now.
“Under the Ottoman Empire, Palestinians were our best neighbors — we lived, cooked, and raised children together. Zionism destroyed that peace. They don’t want us to be Orthodox Jews; they want us in their army fighting for their agenda.”— Anti-Zionist Jew
An anti-Zionist Jew from occupied Palestine reflects on peaceful life with Palestinians before the rise of colonial Zionism.
Typical Zionist playbook. Asked a question about the genocide? Repeat ‘Hamas’ and ‘human shield.’ These guys are the most morally bankrupt people on earth. Let them enjoy their corruption now. They will regret their deeds in the hereafter.
I’m the first citizen they’ve named—but I won’t be the last.
If you think this begins and ends with naturalized citizens, you’re not paying attention.
Political repression happens in stages. They’re testing the limits now. What comes next depends on how we respond.
Israel’s war crime checklist:
1. We didn’t do it
2. Okay, we did it but they were Hamas
3. Okay, not Hamas but they were suspicious
4. Okay, they were clearly civilians but it was an accident, we’ll investigate
5. Our investigation found no wrongdoing
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed at least 17,400 Palestinian children in besieged Gaza. All of them spent their lives under an oppressive Israeli blockade and multiple wars.
Who were the thousands of children who had their childhood stolen? https://t.co/BAb3D1cXPJ
Israel: “I know we lied about the ambulance workers, Shifa hospital, flour massacre, beheaded babies, Hamad hospital, Hind Rajab, the ‘terror LIST’ (days of the week), World Central Kitchen workers, babies in ovens, white phosphorus, deliberately starving Gazans, Sinwar surrounding himself with 20 hostages in a tunnel, gassing hostages, Ahli hospital, killing women & children with white flags, mass r@ping Palestinians, non-existent tunnels under graveyards, Nasir hospital, Husam Abu Safia, mass graves, snipers targeting kids in the head, providing protection to criminal gangs to loot aid, wiping out Gaza, who refused/collapsed the ceasefire, blowing up Gazans fleeing south, Kamal Adwan hospital, claiming dead Gazan children are dolls, creating 'safe zones', the generals plan, how many Hamas militants we killed, Red Crescent taking part in Oct 7, calling killed journalists Hamas ‘militants’, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the Indonesian hospital, UNRWA, al-Awda hospital, killing women sheltering at a church, bombing the church, destroying every single Gazan university, the Turkish cancer hospital, Hamas hiding giant stockpiles of fuel in Rafah, finding active smuggling tunnels in Rafah, hostages returning pregnant, who killed Yossi Sharabi, Itai Svirsky, Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman, Elia Toledano…
But.. but our next lie will be 100% true, trust us”
Israeli terrorists caught in another lie where they deliberately targeted and executed paramedics before throwing them in a mass grave. Israel said they were unidentified vehicles without their emergency lights on.
🚨This video was discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other Palestinian rescue and medical workers in a mass grave in Gaza.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies presented it to the UN Security Council this week.

Betar, has been openly calling for the denaturalization of U.S. citizens over their support for Palestine. The Trump admin refuses to deny whether it’s engaging with them on this. I am the only individual they have specifically and repeatedly targeted for denaturalization.
