Salixj stands for Salixina Jane, a woman in the future who survives a plague onlyt to get cancer. She under goes cryogenics and wakes to a dystopia. The story is about how she copes and a future changing decision she must make..
Ya know, just in case the pro Israel group has any doubt for a split second that they’re on the right side of history, you don’t have to look too far.
A good place to start is the internet.
Sentences you’ll see in the feed of a pro Israel activist:
“Bring our women and children home.” “We want peace.” “Every innocent death is a tragedy.” “Rape is never ok.”
Sentences you’ll see in the feed of a pro-Palestinian activist:
“Hitler was right.” “Wipe Israel off the map.” “Gas the Jews.” “The Jews have big noses.” “Jews are Nazis.”
If the internet wasn’t enough to convince you, then go to a protest of both sides.
A pro Palestinian protest:
Violence. Yelling. Calling for genocide. Tons of masks. Flags of terrorist organizations. Harassing innocent bystanders.
A pro Israel protest:
Singing. Hugging. Crying. Calling for the return of innocent hostages. Calling for a terrorist org to surrender so the war can end. Flags of the only democracy in the Middle East.
You really don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see it.
Those who support Israel support freedom, human rights, and peace. They support a people that was persecuted for thousands of years.
Those who support Hamas support terror, rape, and pedophilia by calling it resistance. They support the beheading of babies, the denial of the holocaust and the kidnapping of holocaust survivors.
This isn’t a nuanced decision.
This is good vs evil. This is radical fundamentalist jihadis against the free world.
If you can’t see the distinction clearly, if you still think the two sides in this war are equal, if you compare October 7th to the retaliation of the IDF, if you can’t differentiate between one side that does everything to minimize civilian death and the other that does everything to maximize civilian death, I don’t know how to say this nicely so I’m just gonna say it.
You are an immoral human being who has lost all sense of right and wrong.
I am deeply sorry for you that this is your existence, and that you have sided with the side Hitler would have sided with.
Let’s hear it for this future doctor studying while defending his country!!! Now THIS is the kind of medical student we’d say is a GOOD candidate for vetting.
With the completion of the encirclement of Khan Yunis, a story from the 4th division:
Deep in Khan Yunis, the brigade entered one of the buildings with bullets in the barrels. The whole building was empty but to their astonishment they found an elderly couple in one of the apartments.
A POW interrogator was called to dub them in Arabic and ask what the heck they are still doing there. They told him that everyone ran away to find a protected place however their family and neighbors abandoned them to die helpless and alone.
After a long time, the IDF in an operation involving not less than 30 soldiers managed to feed them (in the photo) and hand them over to the Red Cross so that they could move them to a protected area.
So much for a little story about the morality of the residents of Gaza towards their people.
Suddenly every anti Zionist on this site is a Middle East expert .
I don’t know what’s worse:
-The fact that I’m called a genocidal monster for saying us Israelis shouldn’t die????
-The absolute lies told here in ignorance and how much you believe them to be true. You literally twist reality to fit your narrative.
People have actually asked for proof for my country’s current borders . IDK, reality???
Also, How conceited do you have to be? I wouldn’t come up to an American and explain the background to the American civil war to them.
Seriously, it’s hilarious .
-How anti Zionists harass Jews and argue that their only state shouldn’t exist- only to say they’re not antisemitic.
-How people here treat Israeli women (and girls): they are rape and assault victims, murder victims. Hostages. Suddenly no proof is enough (even though Hamas livestreams everything FFS)
This was 23 year old Sgt. First Class (res.) Uriel Aviad Silberman of the Kiryati Brigade’s 7421st Battalion from Nehalim who was killed in action in Gaza
Blood libels are again being levelled at Jews in the current climate of antisemitism, resurgent from the Israel-Hamas war. Charging Jews with the false accusation that they used the blood of Christian children for their religious rituals has a long history in the Christian world. But the first blood libel to penetrate the Muslim world – also spread by Christians – occurred in 1840, and was to lead to dozens more in the Ottoman empire, and also the first international Jewish attempt to fight it. Rabbi Menachem Levine writes for Aish (with thanks: Edna):
Jewish prisoner preparing his defence
The Damascus Affair of 1840 was an infamous blood libel that became international news and led to one of the first instances in which Jewish communities around the world worked together to demand justice for another Jewish community. The Damascus blood libel is recognized as one of the turning points of modern Jewish history when world Jewry realized the importance of uniting to advocate for each other.
On February 5, 1840, Father Thomas, an Italian Friar of the Capuchin Order who lived in Damascus, disappeared with his Muslim servant Ibrahim Amara. They were assumed murdered, possibly by businessmen with whom Thomas had had shady dealings or by a Muslim who was infuriated by an insult to Islam that Father Thomas had uttered.
But the Jews were to bear the blame as the Capuchin friars began spreading rumors that the Jews had murdered the two men to use their blood for Passover. This led to one of history’s most famous blood libels, the Damascus Blood Libel, better known as the Damascus Affair of 1840.
In his article for Dorot journal (Summer 2021) Alain Farhi has more detail on the malign role played by the French consul in Beirut, Ulysse Ratti-Menton, and the Jewish families accused of the murder:
Ratti-Menton convinced Sherif Pasha that the Jews were responsible for the alleged ritual murders and, as a result, was given full investigative powers. RattiMenton, based on an extracted confession from a barber (Salomon Negrin) of complicity but not participation, rounded up eight Jewish men including Salomon Hayek; Murad el-Fattal; Jacob Antebi, the chief rabbi of Damascus; Aaron Harari; Aaron Stambouli; Joseph Lañado; Moses Abulafia; Moses Salonicli and Aslan Farhi (son of Raphael), Joseph and Murad Farhi. They were arrested and harshly interrogated by Jean-Baptiste Beaudin, a French diplomat seeking more confessions.
Rabbi Antebi and Lañado died under torture while Abulafia converted to Islam to avoid death. On February 14, Raphael El Mouallem Farhi, banker and head of the Farhi families of Damascus, was placed under house arrest with his servants in a government house for 90 days. On March 23, 1840, Mayer Farhi (my direct ancestor) was arrested and imprisoned. He was 55 years old and had an estimated 500,000 piasters net worth. The ghurush or piaster is the Arabic spelling of the kuruş which was the currency of the Ottoman Empire. A bribe of 24,400 piasters (£244) was offered by his wife Deborah to spare him 1,000 lashes of flagellation in prison.
Ratti-Menton published in European newspapers the alleged confessions. In the meantime, the Muslim population raided the Jobar synagogue, destroyed sefarim and attacked properties in the Jewish Quarter. Finally, the Ottoman police intervened to stop the Muslim attacks on Jewish residents.
