Quoting Yisrael Frey: "People who say 'yes, but what's your solution?' don't really want to hear about the problem."

Yisrael Frey is a haredi journalist facing scrutiny and potential legal action in Israel for his social media posts. He is being investigated on suspicion of "incitement to terrorism" after he stated that a Palestinian harming an Israeli soldier or settler in the "apartheid territories" is a "hero fighting an oppressor."

[…] “If I’m a young Israeli and they educated me that the other is marked as dirt and dust and that you can go into his house in the middle of the night and take it apart and that you can force his wife and children to stand at checkpoints… and that you can break his hands and feet, it is not surprising that with the passage of time the authorities will succeed in transferring ‘the other’ to the Jew who is secular, who doesn’t like Bibi,”

@oatmeal @palestine @israel He is correct in principle, provided the attacks he refers to 1) serve the resistance against the occupation, and 2) legitimately target combatants.

@martinvermeer Israeli media, following #IDF disinformation office (spokesperson) is very consistent in labeling every Palestinian activity as every expression of resistance terrorism. Attacking civilians is indefensible, on both sides. I would say that #Israel “wins” this category hands down, even before the genocide in Gaza started.

@oatmeal @palestine @israel BTW the Wikipedia article makes the important distinction between crimes *of* war and crimes *within* war. In the crimes of war sense, even the Hamas incursion of Oct 7 can be credibly argued to have been legal. Hamas crimes within war, not so much, like the abduction of civilians. And no, 'all Israelis are armed' isn't good enough as a defense.
