This is not an indictment of Ben-Givr, it's an indictment of Israelis. This public torture porn from the monster of national security IN THE FINAL DAYS OF AN ELECTION is how you know that their society is totally rotten to its core
המחבלים בכלא לביא ישבו ואגרו מהמעט מזון שיש להם. כף ריבה ועוד כף ריבה, פרוסת לחם ועוד פרוסת לחם, כך במשך כמה ימים, הכל כדי להכין עוגה מאולתרת ולחגוג ביום שלישי, במידה ולא אבחר.
אלא שנציב שב״ס המצוין ואנשיו איתרו את העוגה, והאסירים הועמדו לדין משמעתי, והועברו לצינוק.
הם כבר תכננו את החגיגות, אבל אצלנו נגמרה החגיגה. ביום שלישי אסור לתת להם לחגוג, מצביעים ב׳ בקלפי!

this vile goblin represents the soul of israel in its truest form. he is israel, and the international community gave him the greenlight to do this to Palestinian hostages. the hostages no one talks about. we are witnessing the purest embodiment of evil unfolding before our eyes.

Side-note: Gadi Eizenkot is the guy who invented the "Dahiya doctrine", the large scale targeting of civilians and destruction of civilian infrastructure (aka state terrorism) to pressure other governments
israel is the most deranged "society" in existence today
BREAKING: Former IDF chief Gadi Eizenkot projected to become Israeli Prime Minister after Tuesday’s election, replacing Netanyahu.
52% chance.

Israel has released Dr Mazen Rantisi, who was detained in Ramallah in June. He appears to have lost some considerable weight and the Palestinian Prisoners Society says he was beaten while in jail. Dr Rantisi, known as "the doctor of the poor", is 71 years old.

“We’re students. We came here to learn, to rebuild the country they destroyed, and they followed us here too.” An Israeli occupation drone fired on a group of students inside the campus of the Islamic University in Gaza City on Sunday morning, as they gathered near the university’s western gate between lectures. At least five students were wounded, some critically, and they were rushed to Al-Saraya field hospital and Al-Shifa. Shrapnel tore across the campus, damaging a building and the cars parked nearby, and the university suspended all classes for the day.
Gaza’s Ministry of Education called it a new crime against education. The Islamic University is one of the universities the Israeli occupation bombed to rubble during the genocide, and its students have been studying among the ruins since the ceasefire, trying to finish degrees the war interrupted. In June 2025, a UN Commission of Inquiry found that Israeli attacks on educational facilities in Gaza amounted to war crimes. Six Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday, as fears grow that the occupation will escalate further ahead of Israel’s elections on October 27.

Israel killed seven Palestinians in Gaza today (so far).
Had an occupying soldier stubbed their toe we would be inundated with grieving speeches on the sanctity of life.

The genocidal apartheid state promises to commit more war crimes with U.S. weapons and tax dollars. This is the unbearable everyday reality for Palestinians, and it's only getting worse.
Block the bombs. Dismantle apartheid. Free Palestine.

The two IOF soldiers shot dead in the West Bank were occupiers and thus legitimate targets under international law.

jewish supremacy/zionism: eighty years of displacing, murdering, and robbing the indigenous population to replace them with imported Jews.

“I’m grieving the deaths of two Nazi soldiers killed today..”
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

Guys, we’re reaching levels of liberal contradiction heretofore thought impossible. The first ethnic cleansing campaign in human history where the party being ethnically cleansed fighting back is labeled a “criminal act” by nominal allies, hell yes

Brad Lander is "grieving the deaths" of two Israeli terrorists carrying out ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank. A genocidal Zionist in sheep's clothing.

Explain how the killing of two soldiers manning a checkpoint as a part of an illegal military occupation was a “criminal act” please

Bakeries across Gaza are closing as of today. Flour prices are rising. And soon, every bundle of bread The Sameer Project produces will cost more.
Support Gaza here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
With the military occupation continuing to restrict the entry of aid and commercial goods, even the most basic staple is becoming harder to afford.
Our bakery provides thousands of loaves of bread to displaced families who are already struggling to secure a single meal. But as flour becomes scarcer and more expensive, the cost of keeping our ovens running will rise.
We cannot allow another food crisis to unfold while the world watches. We need your support NOW to purchase flour, keep our bakery operating, and expand bread distributions before prices climb even higher.
Bread is survival in Gaza. We have seen from the past how serious, how dangerous, how bloody, the hunt for this basics food staple can get. Fund The Sameer Project Bakery by donating to our Food and Water Campaign: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
