Hi David. I spent just under a year of my life serving as a soldier at the Erez Crossing. I think there are a few points from your thread here that it’s worth clarifying:
🧵
The Erez Crossing was once a key symbol for hope and coexistence. Before 10/7, Erez served as a main entryway for Gazans into Israel for work and humanitarian purposes. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans crossed into Israel via Erez this year, including 5,000+ for medical treatment.…

There's a popular slogan everywhere you go in Israel since 7/10: Yachad nenatze'ach, together we will win. It's symbolic of the Israeli zeitgeist, a culture that says if only we manage to stay united as a society and we all get behind this war, nothing will stand in our way.

I just got back from the protest. The police were unbelievably violent against the anti-occupation bloc. I came out of it lightly injured. Others came out worse. And all for the crime of standing near someone who dared hold a Palestinian flag (still legal last time I checked).
Border Police violently confiscate Palestinian flags from peaceful Israeli protesters in the anti-occupation bloc outside of the Knesset.
All of this on the eve of Israel supposedly ceasing to be a democracy.

Ironic. Zionism was supposed to create the 'New Jew', one who no longer laid back and accepted victimhood. Yet in practice—as demonstrated perfectly here—Zionism has been built and maintained through a narrative of perpetual victimhood and trauma, whether real or manufactured.
Sometimes I think antisemitism and Anti-Zionism function as a taxation on Jews and the Jewish state, forcing us to divert substantial resources and attention to our physical and intellectual defense, thereby preventing us from realizing our full potential. Yet, we still do OK...

Today, three years later, the police officer who shot Iyad was acquitted. The court accepted his claim of self defence. The police announced that the officer will be reintegrated into the Border Police and will soon begin a commanders' course.
There is no justice in occupation.
Police violence is only a secondry reason for the murder of Iyad Hallak, a 32yo autistic man from E.Jslm. The primary reason is because occupation means we send police with live ammo to the heart of civilian pop. centres, telling them to shoot to kill whenever they feel nervous.

There's more than a little irony in the response of the astonished interviewers, who clearly know very little about the day to day treatment of Palestinians by Israeli security forces.
"I don't understand what [the policeman] is doing [...] This isn't an issue of right vs. left!"

We've entered this crisis w/ the worst possible Israeli govt at the helm, and I simply don't trust the people in charge to do what's in the Israeli people's best interests. Some ministers have already suggested that decimating Gaza should take precedence over saving the hostages.

The int'l community is already heavily involved in this war. The hostage crisis needs to be high up on the global agenda. Hamas's gruesome attack which began this does not bode well for the welfare of the 100+ hostages. We need to get them home now. Please help Oded and Yochke.

Smotrich now preventing delivery of flour to UNRWA in Gaza. He knows about the humanitarian crisis, but in order to show that he’s standing up to Biden, for the sake of a few votes, he's willing to let Gaza starve.
Smotrich should be the one facing sanctions, not his minions.
הנחתי לא להעביר את משלוחי הקמח המיועדים לאונר״א בעזה, ובתאום עם ראש הממשלה לבחון מנגנון חלוקה אחר שלא יגיע לידי חמאס.
עכשיו גם העולם יודע שאונר״א חלק מרכזי במכונת המלחמה של מחבלי החמאס הנאצים.
יש קונצנזוס מקיר לקיר בממשלת החירום ובקבינט על הצורך למנוע מהסיוע להגיע לידי חמאס.

I'm praying that they, and all the other hostages, are safe and will be returned as soon as possible - but our prayers are not enough. I'm publishing this thread because *it is incumbent on the international community to help advance a hostage deal as soon as possible.*

For the Israeli right, the most dangerous prospect of all is that people will see Palestinians as humans. The Joint Memorial Ceremony does exactly that, which is why year after year, the right try to stop it from happening.

I've been thinking about Oded and Yochke since this saga began. We tried making contact with them several times but couldn't get through. Yesterday my fears were more or less confirmed: their grandchildren don't know where they are either and assume they've been abducted.

Because we know from our experience in the W. Bank and in Gaza pre-2005, that ruling over people undemocratically, even if indirectly, cannot happen without a ton of violence. As a military occupier, one of your guiding principles is to constantly remind people "who's in charge">

ולעשות כאילו אלה *שמתעדים* את הפושעים הם הבעיה.
אז מה הבעיה האמיתית? יש את האלימות הישירה, המובהקת, הצתת בתים/רכבים/שדות של פלסטינים, תקיפת פעילים שבאים ללוות ולתת נוכחות מגינה לחקלאים (מצורף סרטון שהיה אמור להיות מוקרן בדיון הבוקר אבל "לא היה זמן") >

But the occupation has also corrupted us Israelis in a thousand ways, many of which I saw as an IDF officer. And it's meant that for decades the blood of so many people - men, women and children - has been needlessly spilt over the length and breadth of this beautiful land.

Smotrich celebrates four more illegal West Bank outposts being fully recognised by the State of Israel. While abandoning the 133 Israelis to be tortured and abused by Hamas in Gaza, the govt is ploughing ahead with what it considers a far more important mission: annexing the WB.
עוד שלב ועוד שלב בהסדרת ההתיישבות הצעירה שהבטחנו לקדם.
תודה למשרד הפנים על שיתוף הפעולה.
עושים ציונות!🇮🇱

I was a small cog in a very violent system. But this wasn't the violence of child arrests, checkpoints or dispersing protests. It was bureaucratic violence, centered on permits, surveillance and movement restrictions.

למה הימין היה צריך להמציא את זה? כי הדבר האמיתי, האלימות המתנחלית המשוגעת ששנים הצליחו להסתיר מתחת לפני שטח כבר גדל במימדיו לדבר שאי אפשר להחביא יותר, עד כדי כך שהמדינות הכי חזקות והכי ידידותיות לישראל בעולם לא יכולות לתת לו לעבור לסדר היום. אז מנסים, כמו תמיד, לשנות את הנושא>

Ok, 'ironic' doesn't do this justice. This tweet is bloodcurdling.
She has literally built a career on defending Israel's occupation and systematic human rights abuses, and then complains that if only we didn't *have* to do so, imagine how much more money we could be making.

Eylon. I and many other citizens of Israel believe that our government, which you work for and represent, is abandoning these girls right now. Obviously Hamas is ultimately responsible but if we were to prioritise bringing them home, we’d have made a deal by now.
If anyone thinks we’re going to abandon these girls in the hands of the Hamas Rapist Regime, they are sorely mistaken.

As details of the horrors of last Saturday emerge, it appears that their Kibbutz, Nir Oz, was the scene of a gruesome massacre, the extent of which we are yet to find out.

@bneiakivauk
- a movement that did so much for me as a teenager - thought it was acceptable to meet with Smotrich. You're not just another org; you're responsible for the Jewish/Israel education of thousands of kids who come through your doors every year.

run the basic day-to-day life of the Gazan population as well as manage the project of rebuilding Gaza under the watchful eye of the occupation. After all, that's what Israel needs most: a docile subcontractor to take the thankless work of governing millions of Palestinians off>

its plate, while still allowing itself to be in effectual control. A kind of Palestinian authority, if you will. In this kind of scenario, the war won't actually end, it will just transition to a lower-intensity phase.
And that would be terrible. For everyone.

putting hundreds of people in prison effectively without trial. And aggressively suppressing any hint of resistance, whether violent or not. And after all that, everything we know from history tells us that in all likelihood people will rise up against us anyway.

וכיו"ב. בשנה שעברה חווארה עלתה לכותרות כמוקד של טרור מתנחלי נגד תושבי אותה עיירה, אבל זה קרה כבר כל כך הרבה פעמים לאורך כל הגדה בלי להגיע לכותרות. לפי הנתונים שצוטטו הבוקר ע"י המשטרה בדיון, למרות שיש מאות דיווחים על המקרים האלה מאז ה-7/10, רק ב-16 הוגשו כתבי אישום. זו חרפה. >

It's part of a larger worldview held by successive Israeli governments for years now: don't talk about the occupation, and ruthlessly demonise those who do. It's exactly the same reason Palestinian human rights orgs are being labelled 'terrorists' and are being forcibly shut down

אף אחד לא אוהב בירוקרטיה, אבל אצלנו בישראל יש לפחות מראית עין שהיא פועלת עבורנו. בשטחים הכבושים הצבא מפעיל את הבירוקרטיה, והמשימה היא אך ורק העמקת השליטה הישראלית — לא רק על השטחים, גם על האנשים.
הנה כמה מחשבות על איך היה להיות בורג קטן במערכת הזאת:

Occupation has meant that generations of Palestinians have grown up with despair as the default option. I'm sure there are plenty of Palestinians who've managed to make good lives for themselves but the conditions we've created make that very difficult.

This new account is worth following. I think a lot of what's going on in Israel/Palestine today would make more sense - and actually becomes all the more horrific - once you begin to understand the Israeli mentality and how Israelis talk about their own reality. Give it a like.
This account provides a window into Israeli discourse on social media that is not visible to English-speakers. We translate content published in Hebrew by well-known Israeli personalities and organizations, without editing or editorializing in any way.
