I didn’t know much about Haaretz but some posters have explained that they’re just zionists as well, just liberal ones; it’s already stickied as the top comment, but here’s the archive link in case you don’t browse comments: https://archive.is/ilyEU
One of the things I WILL mention however is that the article talks about the aid centers and their murky sources. Apparently they’re run by an evangelical who is close to Trump and the Israeli government, which is not boding well at all (and would explain the constant stories recently of people seeking aid who are being shot in high numbers). These aid centers are basically being run by people who most likely don’t see the Palestinians as human beings either.

I hate that this is unsurprising ( and has been reported on from day 1?). But still, reading it makes my stomach feel like a knot.
This article is about massacres at “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” sites (GHF). It’s basically a fake aid organization set up by the US and Israel for the purpose of killing people in Gaza. Israel blocked all aid entering into Gaza on March 2. All food and medicines shipments to Gaza were blocked for over 80 days. GHF opened on May 27 and Israeli militants have been opening fire on starving Palestinians at the GHF sites almost every day since.
This tweet thread lists the number of Palestinians killed or injured each day at GHF sites from May 27 to June 24.

The Haaretz article mentions that some of the people who work for GHF are Palestinian. What Haaretz doesn’t explicitly say is that the Palestinians who are hired by GHF are part of the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang. Israel pays the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang to limit the aid going to Gaza. Hamas has a group called the “Arrow Unit” which fights against the Al Shabab gang and other aid looters.

What are you saying? Haaretz is an Israeli newspaper and openly Zionist, although more liberal than other Israeli newspapers. If the GHF aid traps are being reported as bad by Haaretz, then you should imagine that they are so much worse than that. Sometimes Haaretz will report something that is honest, like when they reported that the Hannibal Directive was used on October 7.
I think today is the first day that Haaretz has reported the GHF aid traps are massacring Palestinians. Other news sources have been reporting it daily for over a month. I’ve posted multiple articles about it. I’ve seen it reported by Al Jazeera, Drop Site News, Zeteo News.
///
Over 2 weeks ago, Zeteo published this anonymous testimony of a US mercenary, who was payed to work at a GHF aid trap. The testimony is someone who is probably a chud, foolishly they thought they were going to help people, but decided to leak the testimony when they saw how the aid sites were death traps. Zeteo is founded by former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan.
This idea that the Israeli military isn’t involved is bullshit. They’re very much involved. They have offices in our compounds. We share our radio communications with them. The higher-ups claim the Israeli military is not involved, but it feels like they’re the man behind the curtain. Sure, they’re not on-site with us, but their snipers and tanks are just hundreds of meters away. You can hear them shooting all day.
One episode sticks with me. We were monitoring an empty site all day; sometime after dark, dozens of flatbed trucks finally brought aid. The Israeli military soon radioed in that 200 to 300 civilians a couple of kilometers (less than two miles) north were approaching. We then observed an Israeli drone go out there.
The generous interpretation? Maybe the Israelis were firing between our position and the people in order to keep them from moving forward. I don’t think that’s the case. After all, tanks fire all day long near these aid sites. Snipers fire from what used to be a hospital. Bombs and bullets fly all day long in one direction – toward Palestinians.
We know the Israeli military has been enforcing curfews in some parts of Gaza. I would not be surprised if the aid was delivered at night deliberately, given it would then draw people out, at which point they could be fired on as combatants, even though they weren’t. It’s very clear that the Israeli military will take any opportunity available to fire.
People sometimes have to travel miles to get to the sites – and that means through Israeli-controlled areas. Any excuse the military can come up with to say someone is a threat, they’ll take. There’s not really any international media in these areas, and the West doesn’t really want to believe the Palestinian media, so you get to this point where the truth itself is murky. All the while, all I’ve heard all day is Israeli tanks, machine guns, snipers, and bombs.
But never any fire from the opposite direction.
Yeah insinuating that Haaretz is worth supporting financially is wild. I seem to remember Norman Finklestein mentioning the editor was the daughter of someone he had been close friends with and the daughter told him never to contact her again after Oct 7th. I guess it seems liberal leaning in comparison of
Israeli media.I think what is telling about the Haaretz article is that they try to paint the whole situation as being caused by an accident, as if the the systematic massacre of Palestinians is not the intended function of the IOF.
The article continuously states that the IOF militants are confused about why they firing at civilians. The whole article is written as if there was an event of mass amnesia. There’s a quote in the middle of the article which says that war crimes may be ideologically motivated but then the article never investigates further. “My greatest fear is that the shooting and harm to civilians in Gaza aren’t the result of operational necessity or poor judgment, but rather the product of an ideology held by field commanders, which they pass down to the troops as an operational plan.” Only a brief moment of self awareness.
It’s good that an Israeli newspaper admits that the Israel is doing a war crimes, however the tone of the article is still sympathetic towards the Israeli militants.
I was going to say, Haaretz is a liberal zionist rag and is guilty of painting Palestinians as subhuman like all the other Isn’treali papers.
others have posted it already, but here is an archive link that will be stickied at the top of this thread
if you can provide support, provide it to palestine, not the ‘good zionists’
I’m sure they did not need to be told
I have to laugh in a kind of like bleak gallows humor kind of way at this. Like it’s almost comical in it’s absolute cruelty. Never in my wildest dreams would I design something so evil outside of like the gas showers in the concentration camps. So congrats pissrael you literally became the monsters you hated!
Zionists never hated Nazis, they were inspired by them
Correct. They hated holocaust survivors instead
Seriously! Using the promise of aid to lure starving genocide victims into killzones is the kind of thing an author does in fiction to hammer home “these are the evil irredeemable Bad Guys™”. “Communication by gunfire” is a line so comically evil you’d expect to find it in a bad comic book.
Don’t forget to give the US its due credit as well. A lot of this is happening in the “humanitarian aid” centers that US based private companies set up.
Right? Like it’s so beyond the most evil thing my imagination could conjure, it seems absurd. This must be what it was like when people discovered the concentration camps.
Yeah there’s a reason the Allies tried to gather as much as possible, whether that was confiscating official documents or taking photos. They didn’t think people would believe it unless they saw proof. Like how could you commit such evil and never stop to think “Wait, maybe this is wrong?”
Like I can come up with a rollercoaster that goes off the tracks into a mulcher or something, is this what you fucking zionazis want? Don’t give them ideas.
Thw article also states that US private contractors getting 5000 shekels per house that they blow up. Truly, the forces of capital have no low they will not sink to.
just following orders huh.
- : “If you are horrified by this in any way, you hate white pe…I mean, you’re an antisemite!”
If you are horrified by this in any way, you hate white pe…
Chuds seem to willfully ignore (because they are unwilling to accept what that would mean) that if someone learned about even one of the numerous genocides from the last 500 years and hated white people as a result, they would be quite justified in doing so.
Unlimited genocide on the first world

I mean there’s literally no question about the Nazis being a genuinely evil fascist regime. But it is pretty obvious looking back that WWII only happened because it was primarily happening against white people - we’re seeing another holocaust-scale event right now but it’s totally okay because it’s happening to the “right” people this time.
If the original Nazis targeted any other group of people, they probably would have gained and held on to global support from the major world powers, like Israel has right now.
If the Nazis had just not had their Western campaign at tje same time as they went East, Western Europe and the US would have ignored them even if they beat the USSR and created slsve societies out of every nation to their east.
I mention this because whiteness is flexible, it changes based on sociopolitical need by the dominant class. Germans could have gone after Jewish people and Slavs and the non-USSR “Allies” would have supported them. Jewish Europeans are white today and so are most Slavs, socially, though liberals would really like to push back on both of thoss things.
Pretty much. The only reason any “leaders” outside the USSR got involved is because it was hurting their own personal interests and their bottom line. If those atrocities were happening to anyone else (or even just anywhere else), world “leaders” would either have supported them or not gotten involved at all.
Sure, the people on the ground did genuinely just want to put a stop to it, but their commanders and leaders didn’t really care about mass genocide - they just cared that it was the “wrong” people being killed.
If the Nazis had just not had their Western campaign at tje same time as they went East, Western Europe and the US would have ignored them even if they beat the USSR and created slave societies out of every nation to their east.
Britain and France declared war 2 days after Poland was invaded.
AKA the Phoney War period where it was nearly all just on paper or defense of British or French assets.
It was not until France was invaded that they really did anything.
You are suggesting that the Holocaust was the cause of WWII. That is not the case. Likewise, if the Nazis only targeted German Jews, disabled, etc., Churchill and friends would have wagged their finger but continued supporting them.
