Stephen Kapos: “I say this as a Holocaust survivor, that the genocide in Gaza is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they’re doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust. It’s an outrage.”

https://x.com/DoubleDownNews/status/1816898822561468742

“When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star, it was stomach turning. Somebody who had to wear a yellow star like myself and my entire family, I’m insulted by that.”

“What distinguishes the Jewish Holocaust is its industrial scale, and industrial methods being applied. And what has been happening in Gaza is similar in that the scale of the bombing and the indiscriminate nature of the bombing, the complete lack of care about children and women being the majority of the victims, amounts to industrial scale of genocide.

“The painting of Palestinian people as worthless, almost animal like, by the description of some of the leaders, that dehumanisation enables the population of Israel to tolerate what’s going on.

The way that Palestinian people who were arrested were treated, having to take their clothes off and parading them, it’s part of the humiliation.”

“In the West Bank, the way the checkpoints are organized, the way that you are forced to wait for hours for no reason in order to go to school or go to work, etc., all this amounted to humiliation similar to, to what we experienced.”

“The sort of determination and consistency with which they are setting about to destroy the whole of Gaza is very similar to the kind of cruelty and determination of the fascist regimes. Some of the actions of the Nazi state in dehumanising and completely cruel large scale killings, etc. — if it is repeated, I don’t see why you couldn’t make the parallel. It can only be helpful in understanding what’s going on to make the parallel. I don’t think there should be any taboo against that. […]”

There are the same issues with female Ziofascist Israeli Olympic athletes:

More and more people are filming the scene as police approach:

The Ziofascist woman wrestles with a policewoman and gets surrounded by more and more police:

“They broke the original fence and built a new one in order to take ownership [i.e. occupy]. Their guns and their weapons and their uniforms… So these are the settlers that yesterday came here into this land to evict the family, and they were given 24 hours in this land.”

The army then declared a closed military zone, evicting the Palestinians from their own land with force and stun grenades

“They put everything out for us. They removed us from the land, without any paper, without any right. And here they are, military protecting those settlers. Say hi to the camera.”

A few days later:

“The military should come to the land and protect the owners of the land. So if we are the owners — and we have deeds, ah, legal deeds, official deeds from the Israeli court — , why they are not protecting us? They are protecting those who are not legal. […] they don’t even have any paper that proves that they own this land.”

Rape and torture apologia from the equally unhinged Israeli Ziofascist Tally Gotliv:

Ziofascist Tally Gotliv: “[…] What you see here is the people of Israel who has mobilized for the good of our fighters and our soldiers. We are done with the abandonment of our fighters and our soldiers in the field. You need to understand, the Nukhba terrorists who raped, slaughtered and abused our people, have found a new method: They go and whine and snitch that some soldier touched them.

The Investigative Military Police, instead of kicking them out, they go and arrest masked MPs, arresting our fighters. We wont allow it, we wont allow it.”

Testimony from a former IDF soldier:

https://x.com/abierkhatib/status/1820253312886694039

“Almost every night we did an operation that is called a straw widow. A straw widow is when you take a private Palestinian house and turn it into a military post. It means you have to storm the house in the middle of the night, drag all of the family members from their beds, and put them in one room so they wont bother us. […] And if, during that time, one of the family members wants to eat, to drink, to take medicine, to go to the bathroom, they need authorization from us — because it’s our house, it’s not their house anymore. […]”

“Israel’s widespread and systemic abuse of Palestinians in detention and arbitrary arrest practices over decades, coupled with the absence of any restraints by the Israeli State since 7 October 2023, paint a shocking picture enabled by absolute impunity,” the experts said.

Around 9,500 Palestinians, including hundreds of children and women, are currently imprisoned — around one-third without charge or trial. Another unknown number are arbitrarily being held in detention facilities and ad hoc camps following a wave of arrest and abduction campaigns across Palestinian territory that targeted men, women and children particularly following 7 October.

The experts received substantiated reports of widespread abuse, torture, sexual assault and rape, amid atrocious inhumane conditions, with at least 53 Palestinians apparently dying as a result in 10 months.

Countless testimonies by men and women speak of detainees in cage-like enclosures, tied to beds blindfolded and in diapers, stripped naked, deprived of adequate healthcare, food, water and sleep, electrocutions including on their genitals, blackmail and cigarette burns. In addition, victims spoke of loud music played until their ears bled, attacks by dogs, waterboarding, suspension from ceilings and severe sexual and gender-based violence.

“Allegations of gang-rape of a Palestinian detainee, now shockingly supported by voices in the Israeli political establishment and society, provide irrefutable evidence that the moral compass is lost,” the experts said. In February 2024, a number of experts also expressed grave concern regarding the reports of sexual and other forms of gender-based violence committed against Palestinian women and girls in Israeli detention.

The Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory investigated Israel’s detention practices in 2023 and called on UN Member States to intervene and the International Criminal Court to promptly investigate what appeared to be a consolidated crime against humanity. The experts regret this call was not heeded.

“Torture practices are irredeemably unlawful and constitute international crimes, yet form part of the modus operandi of Israel’s notorious detention and torture system,” they warned. “These practices are intended to punish Palestinians for resisting occupation and seek to destroy them individually and collectively.”

“Israel’s genocidal destruction in Gaza, which is spreading across the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, serves as the backdrop to its abusive detention programme today,” the experts said.

“Most Palestinian detainees are de facto hostages of an unlawful occupation,” they said, referring to the July 2024 Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. They called for oversight and accountability over all Israeli practices and policies in the territory.

“Decrying the silence by Member States following the emergence of testimonies and reports of alleged maltreatment and torture, the experts called for pressure on Israel with a view to implementing a cogent system of access, monitoring and protection of Palestinian detainees. The Human Rights Council, in particular, must urgently demand the deployment of special procedures mandate holders and the Commission of Inquiry to facilities holding Palestinians, they said.

“What is required now is nothing short of an independent, international presence of human rights observers. They must become the world’s eyes in light of Israel’s brazen failure to prevent and address the heinous rights violations against prisoners and detainees,” the experts said.
