The Israeli Operation Directorate's Influencing Department is reportedly running a xenophobic Telegram channel, featuring content filmed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.


The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Operation Directorate's Influencing Department, is running a Telegram channel, named "72 Virgins - Uncensored", that shares gruesome footage taken by invading soldiers in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Footage and photos, shared by the channel's administrator, are usually accompanied by captions celebrating Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Influencing Department is responsible for the occupation's psychological warfare operations which target Palestinians and foreign audiences.

Zionist racial hatred for Palestinians comes as no surprise, as official Israeli accounts have battled hard to normalize an anti-Palestinian sentiment, in conjunction with its aggression on the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials have also publicly stated opinions shared by the channel's administrators, highlighting deep-rooted systematic xenophobia and extremism within Israeli society.

The channel run by the IOF, has also propagated racial derogatory stereotypes, to an engaged Israeli audience, in an attempt to dehumanize Palestinians, a tactic employed by Nazi officials against minorities during World War II.

Moreover, specific footage highlights occupation forces desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs in the Gaza Strip, which the channel's subscribers joyfully celebrate.

desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs

This wording alone should tell you just how biased and thus unreliable the article you just posted is. This site even goes so far as to call the entire war by the name Hamas gave the October 7 pogrom, "Operation Al Aqsa Flood". That is not okay on several levels.

Posting this "article" clearly goes against one of the few rules of this place that prohibit hate speech, bigotry and propaganda.

If you find the article so objectionable read this "article" in Haaretz instead. Let me know if you have any problem with their wording, I'm guessing for some reason you won't!

[–] DdCno1 16 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Why did you put this in quotation marks? That's an actual article and actual reporting instead of the Islamist propaganda site that you originally posted.

I read it and I think this is highly problematic. The IDF should definitely not operate such a channel and there needs to be an investigation into how it came to be.

[–] RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The IOF should be destroyed, period.

[–] DdCno1 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If the IDF gets destroyed, the result would be October 7 times several thousand, a second Holocaust. Do you want millions of dead Israelis? It seems to me like you do, based on your rhetoric.

Once Hamas gets destroyed, the result will be relative peace for a few years. That's the difference.

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Once Hamas gets destroyed, the result will be relative peace for a few years. That’s the difference.

No it won't. Settlements getting built on their land, while enduring constant raids by the police, militants, and armed settlers is the worst outcome Palestinians could get.

The occupation's militia is an immoral terrorist group that's very well equipped, and it must be destroyed.

[–] DdCno1 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If it were up to me, the settlers would be evicted, but let's be real: Israel is not going to make any concessions towards Palestinians after October 7. That door has been shut and for decades to come. You know that.

I really don't see what you gain by calling the IDF an "occupations milita". Nobody is going to take you seriously that way. It's just immature, a clumsy attempt at trying to equate a regular army with irregular groups like Hamas.

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Israel is not going to make any concessions towards Palestinians after October 7.

Are we gonna pretend that they were working towards removing settlements now? The door was never open, and you know that.

I really don’t see what you gain by calling the IDF an “occupations milita”. Nobody is going to take you seriously that way. It’s just immature, a clumsy attempt at trying to equate a regular army with irregular groups like Hamas.

To be fair, unlike Hamas they always do wear uniforms while committing acts of terror. But they tried to call themselves a defense force. If that's not silly, then I don't know what is.

[–] DdCno1 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They removed all settlers from Gaza and look what they got in return.

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, they did remove settlements in 2005 and I think that it was a genuine attempt at peace. The problem is the elections that followed in 2005 and 2007 were elections to choose between 1. trust Israel fully and 2. don't trust Israel at all. The result was Hamas (Don't trust Israel at all) winning 44% to Fatah's 41%.

You could blame the Gazan's for voting Hamas in, but they had their reasons to not trust Israel, you may already know some of those reasons, but the biggest may be the Oslo accords that resulted in the assassination of the PM at the time and nearly nothing changing for the West bank.

ThEy SaId ThE sAmE tHiNg.

You racist asshole.

[–] DdCno1 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't tell most Israelis and Palestinians apart based on their physical features, including skin color, because they are from the same region and closely genetically related to one another. Only someone who knows very little about this region and conflict would try and make this about race - and on top of that, you are so confidently wrong that you are needlessly aggressive.

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because Haaretz is a propoganda channel for Israeli Hasbara.

There are fine Israeli media outlets, such as 972 and B'Tselem

[–] RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rightful Punishment to armed foreign settlers, not a pogrom. The Pogrom is what the Zionist Entity has been doing since the past 7 decades.

Yes, it was the Tufan Al-Aqsa, nothing else.

If you don’t like hate speech and bigotry, don't support the genocidal Zionist Entity.

[–] DdCno1 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, those civilians that were raped, tortured, murdered had it coming for being born on the "wrong" side of the border (or because they were just working there or on visit).

What an absolutely despicable, vile, evil thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself!

[–] RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They chose to Occupy the lands. They got punished for it. Don't try to say that Israeli "Civilians" don't have a role in this ethnic cleansing. Most of them are Dual Nationals and ran away from their "God Given Land" at the first moment. You don't cry about these atrocities when the indigenous people are the ones targetted first.

[–] DdCno1 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So five year old Ethan Kapshetar chose to occupy this land? Or was it his eight year old sister Aline when they were both murdered, together with their parents, when they tried to escape from the terrorists?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If they were in a moving vehicle when they were killed it was probably an Israeli helicopter that did it.

I can't believe people are still spreading these fake news. Utterly ridiculous.

F.U.C.K. Y.O.U.

Israelis got Israel as reparation for a genocide.

50 years later they are competing genocide.

Stop straw manning data sources.

Stop blank checks to Israel.

Israelis got Israel as reparation for a genocide.

From who? Germany?

[–] Melkath@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No.

From the UN...

Do you think Israelis are indigenous?

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Reparations are given by the group who perpetrated violence to members of the group of victims of violence, even many generations later. I see what you mean though, a justification for the creation of Israel was that Jews have historically been persecuted and did not have a homeland, but to me that doesn't fit the definition of reparations.

Yes, the UN had a partition plan that was rejected by the Arabs. The Arabs of the area were under the impression that one can't make a country in the place where there is already a country (especially by giving the minority population a majority of the land), but before negotiations could proceed, Jewish militias came in and started blasting. Then they established the state of Israel and have been expanding ever since, rejecting any peace offers along the way.

Do you think Israelis are indigenous?

Not Israelis but Jews were about 25% of the population of Mandatory Palestine in the 1940s. They have existed there for thousands of years alongside Muslims and Christians, so yes Jews are indigenous.

Still, no excuse for occupation, oppression, and genocide.

[–] Melkath@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

No Idea what your on about bruv.

Sounds like you wanna call Israeli's indigenous.

They aren't. They were installed by the white man to be a great camp fire across the pond.

Hate speech against minorities is not against the rules here nor has it ever been. It's "subjective" to whoever runs it

[–] DdCno1 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then why is it in the sidebar?

[–] Armen12@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Because just like on reddit it's simply a "suggestion", not an actual rule any mod follows
