Zionists having a meltdown over this Nick Kristof NYT article and calling it a mouth piece for Hamas is hilarious because this is literally the NYT staff

Source

The New York Times is deeply committed to upholding Zionism that about 20 of their high ranking editors, executives, journalists are either former IDF or literally living in stolen Palestinian property.

This dossier is worth digging into if you wanna know who they all are

Fuck the NYT but watching Zionists lose their shit because even their own paper is calling out the sexual violence Palestinian prisoners have faced by Israeli authorities

[tamamita]

A few weeks ago, an article was published by the right-wing tabloid the Daily Mail, claiming that Palestinians were sexually extorted by Hamas for food and etc. The source in question is dubious, because the Palestinians were anonymous and no actual investigation were made. All of it were derived from secondary sources and no confirmation existed except for some vague testimonies. Hardly anything reliable. In fact, the Daily Mail lacks so much credibility that even Wikipedia considers it an unreliable source and dedicated an entire section explaining why. But Zionists were more than happy to eat that shit up like no tomorrow, readily embracing it as "proof" that Hamas had committed such acts. Like eating bread crumbs from the floor, they desperately sought for anything that would tarnish the image of the resistance and justify the genocide.

BUT the moment the NYTimes posted an op-ed about the sexual violence committed against Palestinian, something that has been reported by various human rights organizations (and let's not forget the Right to Rape protest in 2024 in Sde Teiman), every single Jewish Zionist took to the streets to yell Blood Libel as always.

Rules for thee, not for me.

“No one is coming to save you.” I disagree ! I believe many people made up of many small moments come to save pieces of you , even if just briefly. The mentor who believed in you . The friend who said they’re proud of you. The family member that makes you laugh . The random person who held the door for you out of nothing but kindness. The teacher who took extra time to help you understand. The person who smiled at you when you walked into a store. The little kid who looks up to you. The person who randomly complimented you. Being “saved” isn’t about being whisked away and all your hardships gone, it’s about the people and things that remind you life is not all hardships, it is kindness, love, gentleness, softness, care, thoughtfulness. It is many moments made up of your lifetime that keeps you going and showing you the world is still beautiful, and will always be. Despite.

Shame might not work forever, but it *is* working *right now*.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Key quotes from the article:

Researchers have known for decades that there are two primary types of people who perpetrate violence. The first is the small fraction who are independently motivated to commit violent acts. The second, and much larger group, are those who commit violence to seek approval and status from others. This is especially true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity. Research on gender is particularly relevant for understanding ICE, which has an overwhelmingly male workforce and uses messages of masculinity and domination in its recruitment materials. A lot of men may be joining ICE because they think it will allow them to bond with other men and gain power in our society. ... To put it another way, the vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval. And the noise has the added benefit of drawing large crowds of bystanders who can quickly outnumber the ICE agents, who then have to decide if they want to escalate a situation or perhaps abandon their activity altogether.

And, the kicker? Where it takes 2 or 3 agents to make an arrest elsewhere, they are traveling by the half dozens in Minneapolis:

ICE Watch organizers have also observed that it takes many more agents to make a single arrest when they are around. In other cities, ICE traveled in groups of two or three, but in Minneapolis, we primarily see groups of 6 to 12 agents. The Department of Homeland Security has pulled agents from other cities to ramp up efforts in Minnesota, which guarantees there will be fewer deportations from the places they left. Plus, ICE's fixation on breaking up ICE Watch groups and detaining observers — often white citizens — has interrupted its original mission.

ICE Watch is shaming ICE (among other things, including documenting their crimes and providing a lifeline to those who are kidnapped).

And it's working.

And even if it wasn't working to the efficacy as shown, it's (1) cathartic to jeer at these fascists, (2) shows support to the community that you are not alone in thinking these agents are scum, and (3) still helping because everyone who joins ICE is a social pariah and knows it *because of this outward and ongoing shame*.

It doesn't matter if they think we're degenerates. Sometimes the things us "degenerates" say will stick and hit a nerve.

These boys are falling apart so fast ICE is trying to recruit therapists. Which is what inspired my earlier post about how treating these guys is a huge liability therapists don’t want to take on.

Also it is critical to us in the target area to signal unambiguous support for our neighbors and that those opposing ICE have significant and broad support.

[onbearfeet]

"ICE is trying to recruit therapists" is a profoundly heartening sentence, and I thank you for it.

i fucking hate these “leftist” “fun facts” people like to drop. “lol did you know the CIA faked vampire attacks in the philippines to discourage people from joining a communist guerilla group” did you know that involved kidnapping, killing, and then draining the blood of a hukbalahap member and leaving the corpse out in the open? did you think at all about what that entailed? what do you think “faking a vampire attack” means for the people targeted??

[depsidase]

i mean, israel has the military support of the biggest army the world has ever known and the political support of most western nations. the geographical size of the country has no relevance here and zionists are just grasping at any way to distract from the evil disgusting violence their ideology perpetuates.

good faith engagement, clarification, deescalation, and walking away gracefully are all skills a lot of ppl online should like. learn and actively practice. i promise you if you interact with liberatory politics in any capacity, but esp offline where you cannot block people and curate your experience, you are going to run into folks who have not examined their biases but genuinely want to help and you are going to argue with your comrades. it’s unavoidable. you absolutely must learn how to navigate disagreement and dissent. you need to learn how and when to forgive. how to ask for and accept forgiveness (or not being forgiven) gracefully. you need to remember missteps and mistakes without punishing someone for the rest of their life, or engaging in self-flagellation if you’re the one who fucked up. and if things get to be too much, or a movement falls apart and can’t be salvaged— it’s important to know when to cut your losses and how to walk away without torching every bridge you’ve built. these are genuinely difficult skills that require years of practice to build and a lifetime of patience to maintain, but they are genuinely so critical in both life and political action.
