There are more children aged between 5-9 years of age in killed by Israeli forces in Gaza than any other age category. This is a war on children. #CeasefireNOW
My first encounter with Israelis was when I was backpacking through South America in my twenties, and I remember being shocked by how consistently awful they all were. I guess after their mandatory military service they tend to go traveling for a bit, and whenever I'd run into them they were reliably some of the nastiest people I'd ever encountered.
They weren't ever nasty to me, though. I am a white westerner, and I never had a problem with them. They were nasty to the impoverished brown-skinned people who were hosting us. They were obnoxious and bullying toward local guides, they'd leave the place in a mess, and they were always trying to screw over the locals for a better deal or extra meals or favors. One time they tricked a hostel into putting up a sign in Hebrew for other Israeli backpackers which said ugly things about our hosts (they told the hostel owner it was a great review), which I only know because they were laughing hysterically about it and told me. They consistently treated the people who were looking after us like they were much lesser than us. Their pushiness and entitlement were just unbelievable.
It was a very educational experience for me. I knew the Palestinians were being treated unfairly because my father had told me so, but I also had a great love of Jews and Jewish culture. I had visited Auschwitz and Dachau and Anne Frank's house in my travels, and I remember having some romantic ideas about kibbutzim. This was my first time directly encountering the reality that there is something unhealthy about Israeli society. Not Jews or Jewish culture, but Jewish Israelis.
Now I see evidence of this on my news feed every day, in the IDF soldiers prancing around in the undergarments of dead and displaced Palestinian women, in the AI translations of Hebrew tweets, in the polls which show widespread Israeli approval for the atrocities in Gaza, in Israeli TikTok videos mocking the suffering of the Palestinians, in the Israelis showing up in my comments justifying the worst things in the world in the most depraved ways imaginable.
My encounters with Israelis in South America were an early taste of ugly things to come. Everything I glimpsed then I've been seeing online over the past year. I keep thinking about those obnoxious pricks I met all those years ago, and about how they didn't know at the time that they were giving me very useful information for me to make use of in the future.
When Israel supporters tell you to shut up about Gaza until you've been to Israel and met Israelis, just ignore them. Don't go to Israel; you're a westerner, they'll be nice to you. Go to one of the tourist spots in the global south that Israelis like to visit, one with lots of brown-skinned people who've been colonized by the west, and watch how they treat people there. That will show you what Israelis are really like.
This Man Proved Time Is An Illusion. In 1972 he entered a cave chamber 440 feet below the ground, alone and isolated from any natural light & clocks. For six months he removed from all time references which led to his discovery of a human time warp and slowing down time. He found that without time cues, several people including himself adjusted to a 48-hour rather than a 24-hour cycle.
In 1962, a French scientist named Michel Siffre lived alone in a cave for two months, with no clock, calendar, or sunlight. He only slept and ate when he felt like it, to see how living without time would affect the body's natural rhythms. Over the next ten years, he set up more than twelve similar experiments. In 1972, he went back into a cave in Texas for six months. His work helped start the study of human biological clocks.

We’ll keep posting it until they stop doing it.
This is not a movie, not from a movie
Israel deliberately bombed tents located inside hospital tonight to burn these woman and little kids alive
Watch don't look away shame on the world!
📺🇺🇸🇮🇱 Nick Fuentes discusses the "Clean Break" memo, commissioned by Netanyahu prior to 9-11, written by a bunch of jewish neocons, which served as the playbook for the US "War On Terror" after 9/11--which they're still basically following to this day.

If that sounds crazy to you, dig a little deeper. As soon as Lyndon Johnson came to power, he looked the other way on Israel’s nuclear ambitions.
Further he looked the other way when Israel attacked the USS liberty. 🚢 Yes Israel actually attacked one of our aircraft carriers as a way to draw us into war with Egypt. Johnson covered it up. Israel claimed it was a case of mistaken identity.
