"This is conduct... creates horror beyond the ability to imagine, and this allows most Israelis to deny it...

The #Israeli public's silence is a betrayal not only of the entire world of values it claims to hold; it is an absolute betrayal of #Holocaust victims, in whose name we demanded a state for ourselves where we could ensure our existence...

It is a betrayal of the entire long legacy of #Jewish existence as a persecuted minority. It is a betrayal of humanity in general"

#Israel#Gaza

Text from article: This is conduct of incomprehensible cruelty. It creates horror beyond the ability to imagine, and this allows most Israelis to deny it: if it's too terrible to be true - it's probably not true. And so they allow the horror to continue happening. What value does our freedom have if we don't use it to stop dispossession, killing, and starvation? What do we need the rule of law for if not to ensure human dignity? The Israeli public's silence is a betrayal not only of the entire world of values it claims to hold; it is an absolute betrayal of Holocaust victims, in whose name we demanded a state for ourselves where we could ensure our existence. It is a betrayal of the Mintzer family and the millions of other families who were slaughtered and perished throughout Jewish history. It is a betrayal of the entire long legacy of Jewish existence as a persecuted minority. It is a betrayal of humanity in general - and of our collective identity in particular. It is such a monumental betrayal that it's hard to contain.

"The #Nazi regime reduced the ghetto's boundaries & squeezed its residents, whose numbers dwindled daily, into increasingly smaller areas...

My mother somehow survived the starvation & the #war, but the Mintzer children who wasted away before her eyes remained with her always...

80 years after they were starved to death, my country, the #Jewish state, would decree... the #starvation & extermination of tens of thousands of #children like them... children in #Gaza"

#Israel#Palestine #News

Text from article: The Nazi regime reduced the ghetto's boundaries and squeezed its residents, whose numbers dwindled daily, into increasingly smaller areas. My mother and her parents found themselves sharing an apartment with a family named Mintzer, consisting of two parents and four children. Both parents and the eldest son were captured in aktions and sent to extermination. Another son, hungry and weak, fell ill and languished for many days until he breathed his last. My grandparents tried to revive the two orphaned children who remained, but they couldn't help: they had nothing to give. The entire Mintzer family was annihilated. Bella, the youngest daughter, was ten years old when she died. My mother somehow survived the starvation and the war, but the Mintzer children who wasted away before her eyes remained with her always. They accompany me to this day. The survivors' guilt doesn't dissipate and the scar still burns. On my first visit to Lvov, I searched for that building in the ghetto and lit memorial candles for them. Who would have believed that eighty years after they were starved to death, my country, the Jewish state, would decree that I bear real guilt for the starvation and extermination of tens of thousands of children like them. The state that arose from the ruins of that destruction has brought a hundred thousand children in Gaza to the danger of death from starvation.

Ok, well. I guess shit is just going to get continuously more fucked up. 👀

"A disturbing scene unfolded at a gas station in #Italy this week when a #Jewish father and his young son from #France were accosted by strangers shouting anti-#Israel slogans. The incident, captured on video and widely circulated online, has reignited concerns about rising  #antisemitism across #Europe.They were just trying to use the toilet.

The confrontation began when the child, wearing a #kippah was spotted by passersby. Within moments, the pair was bombarded with shouts of “Free #Palestine” and “murderers.” The boy appeared shaken and visibly distressed, while his father, standing firm, responded by shouting “Am Yisrael Chai” (“The people of Israel live”). In sequence, the father was pushed into the floor, beaten and had his glasses broaken by the harassers. In the meanwhile, his son was pushed aside and protected by a pedestrian who tried to shield him from the chaos."

"Here at #Kveller, we are incredibly excited about #BenStiller’s #documentary about his famous #Jewish parents, #AnneMeara and #JerryStiller, who passed away in 2015 and 2020, respectively.

The actor, #comedian and TV-maker who directed the Emmy and Peabody-winning “Severance” and who often collaborated with his famous parents, has been talking about and working on this project for years. He has shared how delving into their lives shed light on his own marriage and his life, and how those discoveries shaped the way he conceived of the #film."

"A short documentary about the life of Yael Kahn, a Jewish Israeli pro-Palestine activist.
Yael was born in Israel to German parents who escaped Nazism in the 1940's. Upon learning about the Nakba and the ongoing colonisation of Palestine as a young woman, she became an activist and an outspoken advocate for the Palestinians. Her lifetime of activism has been relentless, to the point that she can no longer return to Israel as the state would imprison her. She tells us about the 1973 and 1982 wars, the first intifada and her ongoing activism since she moved to the UK. Earlier this year Yael was arrested for speaking out against the state of Israel and now faces charges for her activism which she will be fighting in the UK courts..."

"Unidentified vandals defaced two #Jewish sites in #Dolka, #Poland, over the weekend, spray-painting anti-#Israel slurs and #Nazi #swastikas on the remains of a local #synagogue and a memorial at the Jewish cemetery.

The synagogue, located in southeast Poland, was destroyed by the #Nazis during the #Holocaust, while the cemetery’s memorial, built in recent years by townspeople, symbolizes pre-Holocaust coexistence between Poles and #Jews."

1. I cringe a bit sharing Ynet, but I dont see this anywhere else yet. Important to be aware that it's a right-wing rag if you dont follow Jewish media outlets.
2. This story is why you see some Israel-critical Jews squint at gentile anti-Israel rhetoric and hesitate to take it at face value. Particularly when its presented alongside clearly fucked up stuff.

Any #Blender wizards on here who would be interested in helping to recreate a #Jewish neighborhood in prewar Belarus? We have a 2D artist already working and a couple of musicians potentially on the project, but lacking a 3D artist. There's no funding at this time, so we can't afford to work fast, and it's in an early stage. I'd like to have 3D environments, but I really don't have the capacity to both do the coding and learn Blender and name the models.
