Video footage shows men in Jenin unarmed and complying before soldiers open fire

Israeli forces executed two unarmed Palestinians at point-blank range after they surrendered in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Thursday.

The killings were captured on video, which showed the two men emerging from a building with their arms raised and their shirts lifted, clearly indicating they were unarmed and posed no threat to the soldiers.

The troops then shoot them dead.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victims as Al-Muntasir Billah Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah, 26, and Yousef Ali Yousef Asa’sa, 37. They were shot in the Abu Dhahir neighborhood of Jenin.

    because nearly 100 years ago someone else did it to their people and now they’re saying “it’s our turn.”

    Not even close.

    Most Israelis by a large margin are descendants of people who came from Russia, not Western Europe.

    Only a small fraction of Israelis are descendants of people affected by the Holocaust, much less of Holocaust survivors.

    There is no such thing as a “Jewish Hive Mind” and the only thing these Jews share with the Jews who were victims of the Holocaust is having the same religion, nothing else - not principles, not ethics, not morals, not empathy with victims of extreme racism, not even most of their culture: just because somebody also uses a kippah doesn’t mean the think like you.

    The Holocaust in Israel is nothing more than a tool used by the present day Nazi-like ideology that runs that place to induce collective fear amongst Jews because it’s much more easy to spread extreme racist hate amongst people who live in fear because of their ethnicity.

    This explains why, rather than learning from the Holocaust to empathise with the victims of such things (which would be a natural thing for the descendants of the victims of the Holocaust to learn from the experiences of their parents and grandparents), most people in Israel have instead learned extreme racist hate for those who don’t look like them and who stand in the way of what they are told “is necessary make Jews safe”.

    The way the memory of the Holocaust is used in Israel is a complete total shit show of Racism and Propaganda that has massivelly distorted the real thing to serve the objectives of the Nazi-like ideology which is Zionism.
