ATTENTION TO THE MDZS FANDOM
It has come to my notice that @pakhnokh is an Israeli and a Zionist, who had always been a pro- Zionist. This was something I didn't know at all, and I have been in the MDZS fandom since 2023. I didn't know until very recently when people on twitter had started to call out on the person.
Probably some of you guys here already know, maybe you don't. I tried to gather as much information as possible about it.
Apparently pakhnokh's anti-palestinian stance dates all the way back to 2014. The screenshot below is from DeviantArt, where she talks positively about Operation Protective Edge
I researched a bit on Operation Protective Edge, and what I found was not only ugly, but horrifying.
This was immediately what popped up when i hit search
"2014 Gaza war, also known as Operation Protective Edge".
I then dived into a few reports by Amnesty International, ICRC, and IMEU (Institute of Middle East Understanding). I will link the reports below, and will also summarise what I found.
Operation Protective Edge killed more than 2000 Palestinians, 500 of whom were children. It was also a seven-week operation (Source: Amnesty International). Seven. Weeks. Meaning this operation, launched on June 8, 2014, lasted for almost 2 months. That's 2 months of killing and displacing Palestinians in Gaza. About 28% of the population were displaced during the Operation.
The report by IMEU also states that Israel had initiated the "Hannibal Directive" twice. For those who aren't aware of what this means, it is an extremely dangerous procedure by which the Israeli Forces "must stop (kidnapping) by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces". Even Israeli people have condemned the military for this directive. All I can say is that the level of bloodlust the IOF possesses that even the idea that their own people may die in the crossfire doesn't stop them...
Amnesty had also described Operation Protective Edge as a military offensive. And this is what a military offensive means:
And people still call them "Israeli Defensive Force".
All of this is to say that this was what pakhnokh spoke of so proudly in the first screenshot.
More screenshots of Pakhnokh being a Zionist:
Like? "If you tell a Palestinian - go back to Jordan or Egypt, he says - go back to Poland"??? The kind of sick joke is this?! I'm so disgusted.
And once again, praising the operation that killed 20000 Palestinians...
All of this summing up to - how have we, the fandom, allowed this monster of a person in, god forbid financially support her even, when all along she had wanted the death and destruction of an entire group of people, just like her country and her government and her rotten military???
How had we accepted a Zionist with open arms, made her popular, when we had also collectively come together to raise funds for Gaza in the year 2024 through various gachas, so that we could try to undo at least one small part of the damage this person had contributed to??
And how are we, despite everything, going to let her off the hook?!
I for one certainly won't!
I will call out pakhnokh, gods forbid it be toxic or whatever, because I am never going to let a Zionist exist in a fandom where the main character calls out against genocide.
And to the rest of the fandom...
Block. Report. Cancel your paetron subscriptions if you have one, and do not support pakhnokh on any platforms. Ignore her completely. Let all her engagements on all social media accounts drop to zero.
Compared to her sentiments on Zionism and ethnic cleansing, this is a very small punishment. But let pakhnokh never be welcomed into the MDZS fandom ever again.
(P.S. i will attach all links related to Operation Protective Edge and the threads from twitter which brought to light about who pakhnokh really is:
