Searches are being conducted in the Binyamin area for Binyamin Ahimeir, a 14-year-old Jewish shepherd who has been missing since this morning.

He left at six in the morning, but later the flock he led returned to the village of Malachei HaShalom without him.

Israeli Defense Forces soldiers, Border Police, trackers, Unit 636, dog handlers, and special forces, with the assistance of aerial reconnaissance and under the command of Binyamin Brigade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Liron Biton, are participating in the search.

Quite often we see Palestinians harassing and sometimes attacking Jewish Shepherds in Samaria often with the help of stupid left-wing protesters from Europe. 

The fear is actually that this young boy has either been kidnapped or killed.

Please pray for Binyamin ben Miriam.

Why doesn’t legacy media cover this information?

[j-saying]

Also, op?

1. Jews and Israelis aren't white, either. Despite the conditioned whiteness we are given sometimes.

2. Strangely, I saw nothing in your Tumblr about all the atrocities at the 07/10. Despite over 50 hours of video, 5,000 photos, and UN official who finally made it to discuss it at February.

(I guess not all men and women are equal).

tw: rape/sa

iof soldiers held women in the vicinity of al shifa hospital and they raped them and forced their husbands/families to watch. and anyone who closed their eyes got threatened that they'd be shot. they raped a pregnant woman in front of her husband and child. the word monsters doesn't even come CLOSE to describing these lowlife animals. this is pure sexual sadism. AND THE WORLD IS STAYING SILENT. wanna know why? because palestinians are not white. the world would be up in flames. hell, the media was OUTRAGED at the alleged news of "40 beheaded babies" when there was literally no evidence of it (there is still none, mind you). there are hundreds of thousands of videos and photos from palestinian journalists that are posted everyday documenting the war crimes committed against them. and yet apparently it's all fake. hypocrisy at its best.

Algeria being cited as a glowing example of decolonial action is really funny because it’s one of the most notoriously racist countries out there (like. Not to generalise but many, many discussions on the subject have informed me that it’s uhhh North African Serbia) to the point that its current president genuinely believes in white supremacist replacement theory and called to deport all black people from Algeria.

black people aside, goys of all stripes get really flabbergasted when informed that Algeria ethnically cleansed basically the entirety of its jews, and they think a good counter argument (which begs the question of why even try to defend the expulsions in the first place) is that the Jews sided with the French when they colonised parts of North Africa. The crémieux decree was of course designed by the French to pit Jews and Muslims against each other but it’s absolutely ludicrous to pin the blame on the Jews for that, and the reason many Jews accepted it was because they were legally and socially second class citizens across the ummah; French citizenship gave them rights. I’ve seen some truly unhinged mask off moments saying Jews were ungrateful for taking that offer and I truly have to stress that is actually oppressor behaviour

So, in Michigan a kid (15 at the time) who shoot at a school and killed 4 kids was sentenced to life in prison.

His parents, who could easily prevent it, were sentebced to 10-15 years in prison.

Now. Don't get me wrong. I don't like USA and don't want us to be like them. But thinking about the hostage deal? I just wonder if this could have happened here.

[j-saying]

Something poetic about how this is pretty true, as Palestinian nationalism only started at the 60s

In fact, 1920s-1940s, Arab leaders in the area insisted to be seen as inseparable from Syria (and called the area "south-Syria"). They kept insisting they aren't Palestinians, but Arabs - as part of the Pan-Arabism identity that was the the result of ~1300 years of Muslim colonialism in the area.

They've stolen another one

[j-saying]

The way goyim talk about Mizrahim is so disjointed. First of all, they rarely do. Second of all, Mizrahim were “treated well” in their diaspora countries so they couldn’t have been exiled, they left willingly, but of course they didn’t naturally want to leave, they were convinced by the evil Zionists, but they’re not actually *in* Israel because all Israelis are white European. But if they are in Israel they’re miserable and desperate to leave because they’re treated so horribly.

[j-saying]

This isn't even misinformation. This is just straight-up blood libel.

[j-saying]

Its like how the left re-invented the "noble savage" trope.

Dammit

(It's like how I lately saw ppl talking about how we are all actually Iraqis... because apparently Avraham came from Iraq.)

Was just assured by a goy that Zionism was an explicitly colonial project started by the British in 1920 and was instructed to read about it.

Y’all, 2 clicks on Wikipedia will show you that modern Zionism began in the late 19th century by a guy in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (and that at that time, Palestine was not a nation, but within the borders of the Ottoman Empire)

People read a single sentence from one person involved in a many thousand person movement and be like “this person said they’re colonizing. The Jewz are colonizers!”

Update post:

Today, there was an attempted terrorist attack at the Meggido junction in Israel. The hammer-wielding terrorist was thankfully caught before he managed to carry out his planned crime. He's 17 years old, and you can bet the anti-Israel crowd will use his age as "proof" that Israel arrests and jails kids, without mentioning what these minors are being imprisoned for, instead of condemning those who brainwash children into carrying out terrorist attacks. Just one reminder out of many such attacks, in 2018 a 17 years old Palestinian terrorist killed a 45 years old Israeli man, so please no one pretend like minors are harmless, or ignore that when teenagers commit harmful crimes in other countries, they're arrested there, too.

It was obvious that some people have made up their minds about the incident with the WCK workers even before the investigation started, so I expect its conclusions will get perverted and ignored, too.

That same anti-Israel crowd will also ignore (unless they'll use it as ammunition against the Jewish state, by actually claiming that Israel, a nation still reeling from the genocide of Jews, and the continued killing of its citizens by antisemitic terrorists, is intentionally killing its own, because there's just no cartoon villain crime they don't think they can pin on the Jewish state) the fact that there's another IDF investigation that's been released today, which said Efrat Katz was accidentally killed by a helicopter rocket while trying to stop the Hamas terrorists who were kidnapping her into Gaza. The helicopter pilot didn't realize at the time that there were hostages in the car as well, this was only deduced later, from the testimonies of other people kidnapped by Hamas. In other words, as horrific as this truth is, accidents do happen during war. The worst, most tragic ones, and we can't undo them, no matter how much we want to. But they happen to every army, and are not actual evidence of intentional killings, or intentional war crimes. Just like someone having been killed is in general not enough to prove a murder took place.

This is 68 years old Efrat Katz.

The WCK incident report is now out, and I am linking the source publication, so that no possible bias can be attributed to re-phrasing by journalists from any side.

As was the initial impression (for those who don't simply want to believe in every evil, dehumanizing lie about Israel), it turned out to be a tragic accident, that entailed many factors, first and foremost misidentification, in part due to Hamas. As I've pointed out more than once, Hamas steals humanitarian aid. Due to this, the WCK operation had hired armed guards to protect it from looting. Tragically, one armed guard was identified without question on one of the WCK's trucks, and was mistaken for a Hamas terrorist, while at least one other armed terrorist was also identified and thought to be in the convoy's private cars. The vehicles did have the WCK sticker on their roofs, but at night, that wasn't visible to the IDF soldiers. Since the whole convoy was misidentified, the drone fired more than once at more than one vehicle, but this is linked to the same single mistaken identification. It means that even though this shouldn't have happened, the soldiers who fired at the convoy really did believe they were targeting terrorists, which is their mission.

The IDF has expressed sorrow over this incident more than once, has taken responsibility, has conducted an investigation, and following its results, two high ranking officers have been removed from their posts, and two more were severely reprimanded, which means this will be in their file forever, and will influence any future decisions made about their service.

This is 72 years old Nadjda Astreks.

She lives in the southern town of Ofakim with her husband, Alexnder. In the above photo, she's pointing to the bullet holes in her kitchen, left by the terrorists on Oct 7. The couple don't have a bomb shelter in their own home, so they had to go out to a public one when the rocket attack began at 6:30 in the morning. When they returned, is when the terrorists shooting at the buildings began, and the confused couple didn't know what to think or do at first. They went out, and saw the girl from across the street falling. Alexander approached her, only to see a pool of blood, and realize that she had been shot to death. A soldier who was running in the direction of the terrorists told them to go back to the neighborhood bomb shelter, where they ended up hiding for hours, without food and water, or proper toilettes, without knowing what's going on outside for a big part of that. It was fellow residents from their neighborhood who faced the terrorists and saved the people there, but the first ambulance for the injured was only able to make it there at three in the afternoon. Nadjda said that even much later, she's still having trouble eating, whenever she thinks of everything that happened on the day of the massacre.

[j-saying]

it’s october 7th. you hear about the attack by seeing people you followed glorifying the terrorist attack—a massacre, a pogrom—as victory & justified resistance, glorifying a terrorist group that was founded with the explicit intent to kill your entire people

you make a post in which you make it clear you support palestinians and oppose the ways israel has wronged them, explaining that the terrorist group is still not good. you know you will probably get some flacc from the pro-Hamas side, but naively underestimate how much.

you get thousands of notifications on that one post, the majority of them hateful comments.

some of the response is positive. multiple messages thank you for the post, expressing bafflement that it’s controversial.

a few Israelis are upset at the loaded language in your post, but explain their problems with it civilly. you called Israel “apartheid”. they ask you what apartheid laws Israel has. you admit you honestly don’t know.

your inbox is flooded with anonymous hate from anti-Israel leftists.

over the course of a few weeks you have received hundreds of death threats, a dozen rape threats. people accuse you of being pro-genocide. you’re a literal Nazi. you’re racist, you thirst for the blood of Palestinians. you’re brainwashed by propaganda, a shill for The Zionist Entity. a few of the hate messages are from literal Neo-Nazis; the overwhelming majority are from leftists, many of them queer.

you are considering suicide.

you see footage of the october 7th attacks. you see footage of the bombings in gaza. you see footage of a Jewish man being murdered at an anti-Israel rally.

a popular creator you follow posts in support of an antisemitic hate group that masquerades as a Jewish organization. this organization regularly posts blood libel and other antisemitic rhetoric, works with groups that are even more explicitly antisemitic, including celebrating October 7th, holocaust inversion, blood libel, “Khazar theory” and others. more than one of the orgs they work with is pro-Putin.

your former roommate liked the post.

graffiti appears on a street you frequent that says “#freepalestine” and “end settler colonialism”

the boyfriend of the friend you spent most of the summer with makes his first post about the war. it’s a reposted comic that mocks and downplays the october 7th attack.

you doubt he’ll be receptive to criticism. he’s shared leftist memes about “monied elites” pulling all the strings and evangelicals being modern day “pharisees” in the past, and getting him to understand why that was antisemitic was like herding cats. you try anyway.

another of his Jewish friends also pushes back. he smugly dismisses her, tells her she’s falling for Zionist propaganda and uses several antisemitic tropes. you go off on him. he just deletes your comment.

you give up. you’re done. you block him.

you see anti-Israel posters and billboards around town

you mention what happened with the guy you went off on to his girlfriend—the friend you’ve grown very close to, who you’ve been listening to as she unburdens her fears for the future and complains about her bf’s BS over the last year. she doesn’t respond to you.

a friend of a friend shares posts tokenizing fringe groups that spread blood libel and have collaborated with holocaust deniers. you know they don’t know what you know, so you explain what those groups are. they seem somewhat receptive, apologize, and take it down

the next day they share several more posts that dip into antisemitic tropes. you mention this to your mutual friend, that you’re worried about them being radicalized. you’re not sure how receptive they’ll be to continued criticism

you have a confrontation with the foaf. in the meantime they’ve shared even more antisemitic posts. they say they didn’t mean to cause you distress but instead of stopping they effectively block you.

the “end settler colonialism” vandalism has been counter-vandalized with the words “commie propaganda” in place of “settler colonialism”. you don’t know if this is an improvement.

a month passes. the friend whose bf you went off on still hasn’t spoken to you. you see she shared a post defending an SJP chapter that posted Nazi cartoon caricatures of Jews repurposed in “Anti-Zionist” memes. you unfriend her on all social media platforms but you can’t bring yourself to block her number.

you see a friend of someone whose couch you surfed when you were homeless harassing Jewish celebrities with “Free Palestine” comments. you block them.

you’ve lost count of how many people you’ve unfollowed or blocked, or who’ve blocked you. friends, content creators.

when a friend takes an unusually long time to respond you worry if it’s because of your posts about antisemitism.

most of the podcasts, youtube channels, and other content creators you regularly engaged with no longer feel safe. you wonder who will be next

a couple friends wish you a happy hanukkah. you don’t celebrate much aside from lighting the hanukkiah and making some latkes.

you see posts about a destroyed chabad menorah, antisemitic comments on Jewish celebrities’ Hanukkah posts.

your neighborhood is covered in pro-Palestine & anti-Israel posters. some are seemingly innocuous, some are JVP “not in our name” posters. some call for intifada. “globalize the intifada” “Zionists fuck off!” “solidarity means attack!”

a man kills himself shouting “free palestine”. you learn about his suicide by seeing posts from several popular accounts you followed glorifying it.

you follow a bunch of jewish accounts on social media and commiserate with them about everything happening

your jewish friends post screenshots of the dead man’s antisemitic, pro-Hamas views. you look at his reddit and find even more horrific shit: anti-Ukraine posts. mocking Zelensky. “elites” are “lizard people”; the only named individual he calls a lizard person is Jewish. you start to notice a pattern: a lot of the people he dislikes just so happen to be jews.

several people you know share a post glorifying this man’s suicide. most are acquaintances, one is someone incredibly important to you.

you wonder how they would respond to your suicide.

you tell the close friend that shared this post how it scares you. you show them the receipts of the man’s antisemitism. their response is a single sentence. they didn’t know about the antisemitism.

they don’t apologize.

you notice none of your irl friends, even your closest ones, interact with your posts about antisemitism. you are able to vent to a couple friends, but no one has reach out to you

you try not to read into it. you try not to take it personally.

you haven’t slept well in months. you’ve always been an insomniac but not like this. you’re not sleeping until 4am, 6am, even 9am. even when you get to bed at a decent hour and get a full night’s rest it takes you hours to get out of bed.

a few weeks go by. the friend with the single sentence response shares a post saying they’re excited and proud to join a group to help palestinians. you’re excited and proud for them.

a couple days later, they share a post about a fundraiser to help a palestinian family get out of gaza. you note to yourself this is a much more effective & less concerning form of activism than the pro-suicidal antisemite post.

your friend shares another post about the fundraiser. it’s a joint post between their group and another group.

you open the other group’s page

the page is just a wall of signs from rallies. you swipe through one after another: “from the river to the sea”, “by any means necessary”, justifying/denying the atrocities of october 7th, calling for violent revolution. anything done in the name of resistance can’t be terrorism, all Israelis are terrorists. Jews aren’t indigenous; they’re white colonizers. holocaust inversion. other vile, thinly veiled violent rhetoric

you feel sick to your stomach imagining talking to your friend about it.

you already feel like you’re burdening the few friends you can talk to about this. you already feel like you think about it too much, talk about it too much. but you can’t not think about it; it affects every aspect of your life.

you’ve filtered out relevant keywords on more than one social media site to avoid the worst of it. some still manages to leak through.

there isn’t a single friend you regularly interact with that you don’t fear the moment when they will switch from listening to your concerns to seeing you as the evil zionist or indoctrinated hasbaranik they’ve been warned about.

it’s not an irrational fear. it keeps happening. you knew it would then, and you were powerless to do anything about it before, and you continue to be as it happens again and again.

you don’t know what to do about any of it.

"Nobody cares about the Hostages" - 30.03 edition

(photos: Dana Kopel)

Israel don't care about the hostages

(a visual demonstration)

Right. Which is why you get to see those things EVERYWHERE.

(I censored faces for privacy)

Ben gurion university:

[ID: a big banner at the fence of the University - mosaic of hostages faces and the writing "bring us back now" in Hebrew./ID END]

[ID: poster with face and names of 7 of the hostages and the writing "it's not whole without them"/ID END]

[ID: a small community garden. There's a small sitting area in the middle of it, with a big banner. The banner says "bring Noa back home now" and has the photo of Noa Argamani, that was kidnapped from the Nova Festival/ID END]

Soroka hospital:

[ID: OB/GYN ward in Soroka hospital. The walls are cover with Hostages posters. Every poster has a name in 2 languages, age, photo, and "bring him/her home now!". Some posters are tagged with "returned" or "murdered" /ID END]

"/ID END]

"/ID END]

[ID: a big banner at the side of a building - photos and names of 5 hostages (from Nir Yitzhak kibutz) and the writing "bring them back home now" in Hebrew. Lower, at the metal fence, there's a newer and smaller banner with 4 hostages/ID END]

Bonus - a traffic light pole with stickers:

[ID: 2 stickers - the top looks newer, and has a photo of a young woman and the writing "in memory of Libbi Kohen-Mguri 5.6.2001-07.10.2023. I'll remember you with all my heart. The last word is Libbi ("my heart" in Hebrew) bigger and red, and there's a heart drawn by that.

The lower sticker shows a young man with a dapo/dapostar. There's a small writing "Shahak Yosef Hadar HYD" (HYD is short for Hashem Yikom Damo "may god avange his blood", said about people who were murdered- usually for being jews.)/ID END]

This is Shani Louk, as her family asked people to remember her. Her family asked NOT to spread That Photo. Her family asked people to remember her for the way she lived.

So here's a photo of Shani Louk:

The man who took the picture of her dead body being kidnapped by terrorists just won a prize for that.

The man who came with those terrorists. Who knew the attack is going to happen. Who took photos and show himself holding weapons.

The man who worked with the people who aimed and killed and raped

That man

Won a photography prize

For taking the photo of

A young murdered woman.

For doing nothing but

Stand aside

And encourage.

Her family didn't even get her Body back.

Shani isn't buried.

I am disgusted. There are no words I can use.

The content of the photo is a young Israeli woman lying dead and half naked in the back of a pickup truck, bleeding profusely from a hole in her skull, with her murderers using her as a foot rest, en route to be paraded like a hunting trophy in front of cheering mobs of Gazan civilians. And yet, the caption of the award couldn’t have been more dismissive of the October 7th atrocities if Hamas had written it themselves. It paints a picture of a well planned and successful military operation, without a single detail of the brutality of the massacre that is necessary to give context to this photo. The language used is deliberately minimizing. For instance, instead of saying that Hamas took hundreds of hostages, including women and children, they said “…taking dozens of captives”. That’s it. Could be 24, could be 253. Whatever. Somehow, despite the content of the photo, most of the description was dedicated to conveying the details of Israel’s retaliation.

MadUmbrella added:

TIL that initially on 10/7 the image sold by Ali Mahmud to AP of the abduction of Shani Louk’s body was identified by AP as “the body of an Israeli soldier”, so AP took the words of Ali Mahmud, a palestinian terrorist, and called Shani Louk “an Israeli soldier” while she was a civilian tortured and killed at Nova music festival. AP shared the photo on their newsfeed on 10/7 at 7:41 am, just a few minutes after the photo was taken and added the caption provided by Ali Mahmud who knew that his friends were kidnapping, torturing and murdering civilians at the Nova festival. This is complicity in the crimes committed by the palestinians on 10/7. AP’s journalistic ethics are completely gone, that’s why they’re paying palestinian terrorists for the images of their crimes. AP corrected their initial story only on November 2.

ok this is just me being bitter and petty but here goes: there's been a lot of clamoring to exclude israel from eurovision this year and honestly it fucking tracks. the theme is "united by music" and truly what has united europe across the ages more than a shared hatred of jews? so perfect

You know what we need to focus on more when discussing antisemitism? The physical violence against specifically very religious Jews. In past years these express violent attacks have become more frequent and we simply don’t pay attention to them. These are hate crimes that get forgotten because the victims don’t use the internet and honestly if they spoke out… would you care? Even other Jews don’t care. These are our cousins and brothers and friends. Just. Being yelled at from passing cars is not the end all of antisemitism. Protect our nation.
