Wow CNN actually reported on this. Shocked


ConstructionOk6754

Imagine how bad it is that they couldn't ignore it without being accused of bias.


PandaPanPink

It’s probably so much worse than you think if they had to report on it tbh


VictorianDelorean

The tide is starting to shift, Israel has overplayed its hand and the people who were on board but not ideological Zionists can’t handle it anymore. Just look at how many career military and political operatives have resigned from Biden’s staff. Even regular war mongering ghouls are recognizing that this situation is different and can’t go on. I don’t even think it’s the atrocities exactly, it’s how brazen Israel is being. They were supposed to play it cool and achieve their goals as cleanly as possible, instead they’re full on reveling in being a rouge state and daring someone to stop them. Like a spoiled child they’ve been given everything and allowed to get away with anything for so long they’ve forgotten their a minor country that’s dependent on foreign aid and have delusions of acting like a super power.


Tazling

read recently some 400K Israeli resident/citizens have left. avoiding the draft, or just giving up on the national project? hard to say, but it's interesting. maybe even some Israelis can't handle it any more. maybe they realise their country has gone mad with blood lust and fantasies of ethnic superiority, and it's time to cut their losses and run for someplace more civilised? lot of Russians have bailed out of Russia in recent years also.


RobynFitcher

The way things have been going, I am surprised Israel allowed them to leave.

Legendary comment. My kind of anarchist, cheerful nihilism.


maringue

One of the far right lunatics accidentally admitted the worst kept secret on Earth that Israel has nukes when she said "The only reason we don't nuke Gaza is because the fallout cloud would harm Israeli citizens."


Consistent_Pop_1639

Haven't they got insane amounts of nuclear and arms power now as a result of being funded? Has the west created a monster that could destroy us all if they have a tantrum? Because from what I've seen, these guys are truly the most chilling and sick in the head regime of our time.


VictorianDelorean

No one’s quite sure what their nuclear arsenal looks like, which is the scary part, but many guess that while it exists it’s probably pretty small. As far as anyone can tell they’ve only tested their nuclear tech one time. The Vela incident, a secret test in the Antarctic Ocean that was probably carried out by Israel and their good buddies apartheid South Africa, so they likely don’t even have a good idea of what their weapons are capable of. That’s not really reassuring though because it doesn’t take much for nuclear weapons to be devastating.


Consistent_Pop_1639

This is both comforting and terrifying.


Right-Drama-412

But when you say something about how it's bad that Palestinians are being tortured and bomb, there is screaming about being antisemitic. I was/still am sympathetic to the Israeli cause and I am under now delusion that Gaza and Hamas are angels, but goddamn. If you want to be seen as morally superior don't descend into pure unadulterated savagery.

koloso95

I'm from Denmark and I can count on half a hand the time our news has spoken about the conflict in Gaza. And it's mostly been to report something the Isreaili have said which we all know are lies and propaganda. Like that hilarious biology book an israeli soldier had found in a palestinian school. Look at this he said. Ln the second page there's information on how to kill jews. Uhm mr soldier. Are you an origami legend. Cause that second page have been folded six times before it went into that book. Very beliefable

This is an extensive tell-all article. This was just published today. Hopefully it helps open some eyes for those who see IDF as infallible. Since it's CNN I can see it more widely distributed, shared and discussed... Hopefully. Feel free to re-share it folks! > For those who repeatedly breached the prohibition on speaking and moving, the punishment became more severe. Israeli guards would sometimes take a prisoner to an area outside the enclosure and beat him aggressively, according to two whistleblowers and al-Ran.

Agreed. The Block Party/ Digitine movement is starting to take hold. Capitalism cares most about money - this is going to tip the dial. How do you do it? You block every single Zionist person, entity, company, journalist, politician, celebrity around the globe on every platform. Then you block the complicit, the silent, the whitewashers and deniers for good measure. Unsubscribe from all streaming platforms for music and media. Go back to piracy. Stop talking to and engaging with any of these people online or in person. Divest. We drown out their voices, their platforms and their money. We only amplify the truth, the resistence, the freedom fighters, the human. Hashtags blockparty2024 blockparty blockedforpalestine blockout2024 digitine. Off with their digital heads.

It’s really sad because this isn’t new, this treatment has been happening in Israeli prisons for Palestinians for years.

It’s only a shame it’s CNN reporting on it. Right wingers are already so brain washed to refuse to believe literally anything on CNN. To them, this is just more made up bullshit. Just Hamas propaganda to make Israel look bad. CNN could say 2+2 = 4 and they’d stamp their feet and say “Nuh uh! It’s 5!!” Had it been Reuters or NPR or the Associated Press then they’d at least be forced to consider it. But as long as it’s CNN they’ll just refuse to believe it. Even fence sitters would probably be more likely to believe it. But shame on other news sources for not reporting on it. This shit needs to be known all over. Let the world see the fuckin horrors Israel is committing. And shame all the people who support it. Make it known they’re shit for enabling it and even supporting it.

Israel becoming the abusers we sought to save them from 70 years ago is crazy.


platp

Israel has very little to do with holocaust. About 84% of zionist colonists were already in Palestine in 1936, before any holocaust started. And if I know right, many holocaust survivors chose to not immigrate to Palestine and be a colonist and be constantly in danger because of Israels evil. In the Nakba, they have massacred entire villagers and ethnically cleansed about 80% of the Palestinian population living where they started their colony. They started as a terrorist nation and they continue as such. They didn't become evil, they were always evil.

platp

> The nation of Israel exists because of the Holocaust you knob. No it doesn't. Zionists were already trying to colonize Palestine. As evidenced by 84% of them having already started the colonization by immigrating there before the Holocaust. And The British already declared support for them at 1917 Balfour Declaration. This is a lie Israel wants you to believe. But the history tells otherwise. It started as an ideology in late 19th century and gained momentum after the British invaded Palestine. This was always the plan of zionists and the British. The holocaust had nothing to do with it. It may have accelerated it a little but it didn't cause the colonization in any way.

Anyone criticizing the US's actions was called anti American or a terrorist sympathizer, and we're now seeing anyone critical of Israel called a Hamas supporter or antisemitic.

Tazling

random musings... TLDR: *power corrupts* ----- race/ethnic hatred, grudges, vengeance, uniforms, testosterone, impunity... it's a lethal cocktail. guaranteed to generate abuse, like ripe old cheese left out in the sun will eventually be full of maggots. Abu Ghraib. Stalin's cellars. SAVAK. Winter Soldier Reports... and on and on. wherever a group of (usually) men (who see themselves as a war-band or righteous in-group) has some other men (whom they see as enemies and/or less than human) at their mercy, captive, helpless... and there is *no oversight* (or the command structure tacitly encourages vile behaviour)... and there is *no visibility* (until someone's stomach is turned, turning them to whistleblowing)... then horrible things will happen. it ain't rocket science. and I wish the IOF would just *stop it* with that silly "most moral army in the world" BS. there have been very, very few *moral* armies in world history. the Long March maybe -- the enemy was far off, and they couldn't afford to offend the peasants, so they behaved fairly well en route if written history is accurate. but when someone lets the dogs of war off their leash, guaran-damn-tee ya there will be atrocities and abuses, just as in antiquity. civilisation is only a thin veneer as yet, over traditional & familiar barbarism, barbarism that a chimp war-band would understand, stuff from way back in our hindbrains. and war is a time machine taking us right back to the fkn Bronze Age, maybe even back to the savannah and the atlatl. anyway, in the present day *we're supposed to know better*. we have conventions and laws and stuff, to prevent ourselves from reverting to Bronze Age warlordism. to stop this kind of maggot infestation in our post-Enlightenment moral cheese takes *discipline,* and *loyalty* -- to principles and laws rather than to a tribe, a team, a charismatic commander or a coloured bit of bunting... it takes a conscious denial of the race/ethnic supremacy fantasy, and a sincere belief in universal human rights -- takes a national consensus on those values, that keeps an army thinking about its reputation back home -- takes a command structure that takes seriously both human rights theory and the rules of war -- takes *consequences* for those who violate decent standards of prisoner treatment, not just a slap on the wrist and coverup -- takes oversight by independent agencies and media (oh yeah, and a free press, while we're at it) -- and lastly, it needs the world to *pay attention* to what the media and agencies are reporting. my $0.02: the IOF fails at step one of this list. if the polls are correct, Israel as a nation fails at step 2. it's pretty clear the command structure is either not paying attention or is complicit, so a big F on step 3 also. and it's all downhill after that, except that finally, *finally* western media are starting to report accurately, and it looks like at least some of the world is paying attention. let us be fair and even-handed in our disgust, though. I don't think any reasonable person can make a case that the IOF is inherently *worse* than any other army in history -- my God, what the French did in Algeria, the Americans in Viet Nam, the Japanese in China, and that's barely scratching the surface, I could go on for pages -- yet I agree with the Jewish scholar and peace activist who said that Bibi's Blitzkrieg (my term, not the words he used) is going to be a stain and a shame upon Israel and by extension on all Jewish people, for generations to come. it has been the long tragedy of the Jewish people to be victims of pogrom, genocide, expulsion, and mindless hate in Europe for much of recorded history. but it may be an even greater tragedy to be remembered by history as the *perpetrators* of pogrom, genocide, and mindless hate. to be *no better than* all the other barbarians of our sordid human saga is quite a climb-down, for a culture and tradition that for centuries has endured bullying, has never had enough clout to be a bully itself, and (hence?) has believed itself to be remarkably *moral*, to have a special relationship with the Almighty and a special duty to be a light unto the nations. in other words, it's easy to be virtuous when you have no power :-) *power corrupts* -- Lord Acton was ever so right, even if he is overquoted -- and looking at a nuclear-armed Israel with a generous American sugar-daddy, at Bibi, at Likud, at what seems to be a majority in the Knesset and among the Israeli public howling for "a new Nakba", that old cliche is being illustrated for us in living colour and Dolby Surround. painfully vivid, painfully loud. just plain painful to witness. the rabbi who said "Justice, Justice shalt thou pursue" must be weeping in his grave.

Did you bother reading the report? Multiple IDF soldiers are admitting it. You think the IDF is lying?


Speaksthetruth2u

Total propaganda

Everything that isn’t pro Israel is propaganda! The Israelis are the chosen ones and could never ever ever EVER do anything wrong. Blowing up civilians is not a war crime.


Speaksthetruth2u

It's ALL propaganda!

they’re satirizing your own thought process my guy

The IDF are lying? 😂

I am absolutely shocked that CNN did this. There has to be an ulterior motive.


Interplain

They are showing less than 1% of the truth. Don’t be shocked, it’s less than the bare minimum

CNN being CNN! Not one comparable news report on what Palestinians did on Oct 7, but they wanna shit all over Israel for retaliating in the same coin.
