So it's been a while since i last posted, what with my country being in war and all, but let's do a quick recap of things i found absolutely absurd in the last couple of weeks:
1. People denying the rape and gender abuse caused by the Hamas terrorrists on October 7th. Yes, those things did happen. Yes, we can prove that via GoPro cameras, eyewitness and survivors. No, many of the victims cannot testify themselves because they were murderd right after. BTW, major women's rights organizations had yet to comment on the crimes commited on October 7th, despite having given proof and several requests to do so by 150 women's rights groups in Israel.
2. People on Tiktok legit support Bin Laden now?? The man who constructed the biggest terror attack on the USA ever in the name of getting rid of "infidels"?? His letter to America is FULL of antisemtic propaganda, but then again - people did say "gas the jew" in an anti-Israel rally so that's not really surprising that those who suddenly view him as hero can't tell the difference between opposing a country and being antisemite.
3. People claiming Jews appropriate the term "antisemite". Yes, "semite" is an umbrella term for the descendants of Shem, son of Noah. BUT the term "antisemite" was created, and used, as a term describing hate against Jews specifically. I srsly CANNOT belive i need to protect a term that was created to explain hate against my and my religion, but here we are.
4. People claiming hostages were taken to Shifa hospital for treatment, and that that shows Hamas' humanity. Dude. DUDE. Just by using the word "hostages" you should understand why this is fucked up. In released footage you can see that the people taken were workers (from Thailand iirc), and definitely not soldiers. So no matter how you look at it - violation of international law.
5. This deserve another point - even if Hamas did treat some of the hostages (and that is a BIG if, considering the Red Cross had never visited them, nor really demanded to do so) this does not make them the good guys - these are civilian hostages taken to a hospotal under threats, and then never heard of again by Hamas. This is a hospital that was proven to have had waapons and tunnels within and that not only Israeli intelligence says was used as a terror based. How can one watch the footage of a civilian capable of walking being dragged around while medical workers only watch and say "oh yes, these Hamas guys are decent"?
6. No one talks about Hamas propaganda od hostages. So i will - since October 7th Hamas has uploaded several videos of hostages as a psychological war. Most containd hostages reading a statement (probably in order to cause political and social mayham in Israel), but some others were worse and showed 2 hostages (one of them an 86 year old man) dead. There are 7 videos in total as far as i remeber. Compare that to the videos ISIS used to make, imagine what this does to a family. And before you start saying "imagine what it's like for a Gazan to see their family dead online" - i have NEVER said Gazans aren't suffering, nor will i ever will. But those videos in Gaza are not posted by israelis, and Israel has not posted a single video of Palestinian prisoners (yes, prisoners, none of the Palestinians taken into Israeli prison were taken for the kick of it) directed at Gaza or at Hamas. This is ISIS tactics.
