    Right now: Israeli Military Police arrives at Sde Timan jail to arrest soldiers for rape and torture of Palestinian detainees. Soldiers on the scene are resisting the arrests, and several government ministers and MKs are on their way to support the soldiers against police

    די!!!!! מצ"ח פשטו כעת על בסיס שדה תימן כשבידם 8 צווי מעצר ללוחמי מילואים. חבריהם של הלוחמים החליטו לשים לזה סוף וכרגע שוטרי מצ"ח מעוכבים בבסיס על ידי הלוחמים עצמם. הפצ"רית עובדת אצל סינוואר? מה קורה פה לעזאזל? @netanyahu @yoavgallant

    As I sit at home in Tel Aviv, fearing for my family and friends, I know that this has also been the reality for Palestinians, especially in Gaza, for decades. One of fear, and being defenseless, and a brutal enemy who has no problem killing civilians, entire families even

    After weeks of Hasbara telling us not to listen to the "Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza" in terms of casualty rates - Israel now recognizes the the official Palestinian number of 14-15K killed in Gaza, plus thousands of bodies trapped under the rubble, is likely correct

    In essence, soldiers are in open rebellion for the right to rape prisoners, and more and more coalition politicians are joining them - from Likud, Jewish Power, and more

    🧵Last night a right wing mob attacked the house of Israeli journalist @freyisrael1, calling him a “traitor” for his messages against killing of civilians of both sides and against the war. Frey was besieged in his home with his family for hours, with people trying to break in

    סרטון שהגיע מההתרחשות בשעות אלה מחוץ לבית של ישראל פריי, אחרי שמכונת הרעל הסיתה נגדו, אחרי שפרסמו את כתובתו, זיקוקים באמצע הלילה לכיוון הבניין, סכנת נפשות, ותושבי האזור חושבים שאלה יריות כי מלחמה עכשיו. והמשטרה שעה ארוכה לא מצליחה להשתלט! מה זה הטירוף הזה??? @freyisrael1

    Now: at least 20k people marching in Tel Aviv against the government. Many are chanting against apartheid, alongside pro-LGBTQ and anti-fascist messaging

    “To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire – and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger,” @yuval_abraham told the Guardian

    An incredible young woman who survived the massacre in Be’eri: “Listen carefully: how am I supposed to get up in the morning, knowing that 4.5 km away from Kibbutz Be’eri, in Gaza, there are people for whom this (the war) is not over? Those talking of revenge - shame on you”

    אמש בביקור במלון דוד בים המלח, צעירה בת 19 מקיבוץ בארי (שמה שמור עימדי), ביקשה לזעוק את הזעקה שלה: "מה שקרה לנו לא היה חדש, פשוט גרוע יותר. מפקירים אותנו שנים".

    Context: Sde Teiman has been acting as a torture camp for months. The testimonies of inmates, physicians and soldiers who served there are horrifying. What the MP is doing is to try and show minimal levels of enforcement, to fend off ICC/ICJ. Even that is unacceptable to some

    There is no military solution for Gaza or the occupation generally. There never was. The only solution has to be an end of apartheid, and promoting a future based on justice and equality for all of us, Palestinian and Israeli. Not in spite of the horror but exactly because of it

    Israel authorizes a draft of 25,000 reserve soldiers, says it is preparing for prolonged fighting in and around Gaza. This could spell hundreds of deaths, mostly of Palestinians. We as Israelis must refuse and resist this atrocity. The intl. community must hold Israel to account

    טירוף: שלזינגר מגן על החיילים שאנסו מחבל כפות ואומר שחבל שהתעללות בעצירים זו לא מדיניות מוסדרת של המדינה. ג׳וש בריינר מזהה את זה ומיד מפרק אותו. "צר לי שהדברים האלה בכלל זוכים לשידור כי מה ששלזינגר עשה פה זה הסתה לאלימות. עם כל הכבוד לרב כהנא שיושב פה, אנחנו כצבא, כמדינה
