@ChayaRaichik10 Even IF these men were militants, this treatment is completely against Intl human rights laws and any sense of humane treatment of prisoners of war. The comments in this thread are VILE and shameful. No one speaking in these dehumanizing ways can claim ANY moral high ground.

These men HAVE NOT been proven to be connected to Hamas is any way. They are NOT militants. These men are academics, doctors, journalists, elderly men and even children as young as 13-years-old.
@platinum_grapes Itβs not up to you how the victims of genocide interpret derogatory phrases that evoke the violence perpetrated against them. Itβs only our responsibility to respect them and honor their very real lived experiences and histories.
@platinum_grapes Part of that genocide included the scalping of indigenous people for profit. It became so profitable that at one point, settlers began to take on hunting indigenous people for their scalps as their full time profession. Itβs a tragic and horrific part of U.S. history.
@platinum_grapes Also, regardless of what your thoughts are on the matter, it is a derogatory term that for many indigenous people, including Orion, his family and his community, evokes the unconscionable, violent genocide that their ancestors survived.
@platinum_grapes βWhite manβ refers to the colonial settlers that were incentivized to murder and mame indigenous people and ravage their communities in order to occupy indigenous territories on behalf of first the British and then the American governments
@tolirojo@JnetteDiamond@tolirojo The information that he shared about that derogatory term is true. I am in school studying about it now. Itβs an incredibly disturbing and gruesome fact that is important to know.
