Heat up here. My leg. By the way, to the handful of morons that have made threats against my life, either in the comments or in my email, I hope that you can appreciate the variety of very different but very authentic firearms that I use as props in my videos. Just saying.
Big shout out to Thomas Massie, by the way, for this for this kick-ass mug. Today we have the dubious misfortune of reviewing the top 10 worst Israeli war crimes of all time. Basically, we'll be doing a a blood libel speedrun.
Now, before we get into it, it's important you should know obviously we're going to be covering some very difficult material today, right? So, that's relevant for a few different reasons. The biggest one is that, you know, if you're not in a super great place mental health-wise, you know, maybe consider pausing and coming back later. But if you can, I do encourage you to stick around till the end of the video. And I think especially if you live in the United States or any Western country that has contributed financially or militarily to the Zionist project at any point over the last hundred years, like our tax dollars have subsidized most of the things that we're going to be talking about on this list. And I think it's important to not look away. I think that we have a moral obligation to look at this history and recognize it for what it is and not avert our gaze from it. So, you know, I will try to give a heads up for some of the nastier stuff that we're going to talk about. I will save the the sexual abuse stuff until the very very end of the video if that is especially troublesome to you, but I encourage you to stick through to the end. I think it's really important that you do so.
Second of all, due to the nature of the video and out of respect for the many hundreds of thousands of victims that we're going to be talking about today, I have made the executive decision to not monetize this video. Um, I feel like it would be pretty gross to run ads on something like this. It it just it would feel exploitative. Um, like I don't even know if YouTube would let me run ads on something like this, but I'm just not even going to it. I think I would sleep better at night if I just didn't even go there. Honestly, I am still going to give early access to the channel members just because that is a commitment that I've already made to them. But other than that, this one is um this one is pro bono. And be sure to say thank you to the channel members that you see in the comments because it's thanks to them that I'm able to make a decision like that and do a difficult video like this talking about difficult subject matter without having to worry about the financial aspect of it at all. Some things are more important.
Finally, and again, out of respect for the victims, I'm not going to make a lot of jokes in this video. I know that I generally like to approach difficult subject material with some levity to make it more palatable, but it just it just didn't feel appropriate to do that in this video at all. I do, however, have this. That is the sound of Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Shapiro, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Chuck Schumer, the entire Trump cabinet, and a gaggle of hardcore Zionist celebrities all having a good laugh. And I'm going to include that at times that I feel are appropriate because I feel like it's a pretty accurate representation of how most of those people would respond if they were to hear about any of the war crimes that we're going to be talking about today. SO, IT'S LIKE OPENING A PORTAL INTO HELL.
Anyway, one final thing. I had to split up this recording over several days just due to the volume of it. Uh, and I was fighting through a head cold through some of that. So, if my voice sounds different in different segments, that's why. I do apologize for the audio quality. I did the best I could. Anyhoodles, let us begin.
Now, we're going to be going through these war crimes in chronological order, starting all the way back in 1948. And in fact, the first three war crimes that we're going to cover all took place in 1948 during the Nakba. And for the uninitiated, the Nakba was the forced violent displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their ancestral homeland.
Number one, Operation Cast Thy Bread. In April of 1948, Israeli forces engaged in a top-secret biological warfare operation in which operatives contaminated drinking water wells in Palestinian villages with typhoid bacteria in an attempt to inflict mass casualties against the refugees and to prevent them from returning to the homes that they had been expelled from. The contamination of these wells triggered a typhoid epidemic in Acre, as noted by the mayor of that region on May 3rd of 1948. Additionally, four Israeli special forces soldiers disguised as Arabs attempted to poison the local water supply in Gaza, but were captured by Egyptian soldiers on May 23rd of that year and were executed by an Egyptian military court. Declassified documents have revealed that Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion oversaw and approved the use of biological warfare against non-combatant civilians. Additionally, in the final months of the war, the government of Israel gave orders to expand the biological warfare campaign into neighboring Arab states such as Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria. But those orders were never actually carried out because the war ended shortly thereafter. Needless to say, this was a blatant violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol. And unfortunately, it will neither be the only or the worst example of chemical or biological warfare against women and children that we see on this list.
Now, folks, I want you to take a second and imagine the sickness of the mind that it would require to poison the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of women and children with typhoid in order to expedite the appropriation of land. And in fact, as we're going through these war crimes, I would like for you to just generally imagine how you would feel knowing that people from your country, people who shared your culture or your ethnic background or your religion or whatever behaved in such a way. And then imagine being part of such a culture and feeling absolutely no regret, no shame in offering no apologies for any of the things that we see on this list. Especially because as we go through this, you'll see nobody has ever faced any meaningful consequences for any of the war crimes on this list. And quite the contrary, many of them were promoted or rewarded as a result.
Number two, the Deir Yassin massacre. Also in April of 1948, Zionist paramilitaries attacked Deir Yassin, a small Palestinian village immediately west of Jerusalem, and killed over 100 people using firearms, hand grenades, and armored vehicles, including women and children. This despite the fact that the village had previously agreed to a non-aggression pact and posed no meaningful military threat, thus beginning a time-honored tradition of Israeli forces violating ceasefires in order to murder women and children. To quote a former IDF colonel who, to his credit, initially objected to the attack while addressing his superior officer, "Is it true that you gave the dissident permission to attack Deir Yassin? How can you do this? We have a pact with this village and they have kept it faithfully. No shooting, no foreign soldiers, no aggression of any kind." Later on, the same colonel had this to say about the massacre after it was already underway: "The fighting was over, yet there was the sound of firing of all kinds from different houses. We went into the houses and in the corners we saw dead bodies. Almost all of the dead were old people, children or women with a few men here and there. They stood them up in corners and shot them. They also shot people running away from houses and prisoners, mostly women and children." According to other eyewitness testimonies collected by filmmaker Neta Shosani, at least one young boy was tied to a tree and burned alive. Other groups of small girls were lined up against concrete walls and executed with submachine guns. Other survivors were taken prisoner and paraded through the streets of nearby Jerusalem where they were spat on, mutilated, stoned, and executed. This was not the only massacre of women and children during the Nakba, but it was perhaps the most significant and emblematic. To quote historian Benny Morris, "This event probably had the most lasting effect of any single event of the war in precipitating the flight of Arab villagers from Palestine." To this day, official material that documents the Deir Yassin massacre in IDF military archives remains classified.
Number three, the Lydda death march. In July of 1948, the Palestinian towns of Lydda and Ramle were attacked and captured by the IDF. Lieutenant Colonel Moshe Dayan led the attack on Lydda using a column of armored jeeps, firing automatic machine guns directly and indiscriminately into civilian crowds for over 45 minutes. To quote Kenneth Bilby, a correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune, who happened to be in the city at the time, "The Israeli column raced into Lydda with rifles, Sten guns, and submachine guns blazing. It coursed through the main streets, blasting at everything that moved. The corpses of Arab men, women, and even children were strewn about the streets." During the attack, a former soldier, whose name I'm not even going to try and pronounce, fired an anti-tank shell into the Damash Mosque, killing more than 200 unarmed civilians who had attempted to flee the shooting. Estimates of the total dead in Lydda due to these indiscriminate attacks on civilians range from 250 to 450, again, including many women and children. After the killing had settled down, a general expulsion order for both towns was signed by Yitzhak Rabin, then IDF chief of operations and future Israeli prime minister. After being stripped of valuables, jewelry, and being denied any personal belongings from their homes, the remaining 60,000 occupants were forced to march for nearly 15 miles in the midday heat without water before meeting up with the front lines of the Arab Legion. Reports on how many people died during this forced march vary based on historian, with estimates ranging from 300 to 500 people, including small children and the elderly.
So I don't know about you, but I grew up in a small town in America. Okay, imagine that growing up, a bunch of homicidal maniacs using automatic machine guns fired upon crowds of women and children and the elderly. And then they fired an anti-tank round into a church, killing 200 people. And then they took all of these survivors of their attack and they stripped them of their valuables and they forced them to march in the midsummer heat for 15 miles, killing children and the elderly in the process. And then imagine that the person who signed off on that, the person that gave the order for all of that to happen, then went on to become the president of the United States. This would be indicative of a deeply, profoundly sick culture. There were many more horrible things that happened during the Nakba, but for the sake of time, we're going to move forward about a decade to the year 1956.
Number four, the Kafr Qasim Massacre. On the morning of October 29th, 1956, Israeli border police imposed a new 6 p.m. curfew on the residents of an Arab village about 20 km east of Tel Aviv and announced that any Arab on the streets after 6 p.m. were to be shot on sight. However, the announcement was made after many laborers had already left the village to work in the fields or to travel elsewhere and therefore had not been made aware of the curfew. That evening, in nine separate incidents, small groups of laborers and families who had been away and were returning to the village were fired upon and were killed by Israeli soldiers without warning. A total of 49 Palestinians were killed, including 19 men, six women, and 23 children. Those few who survived the shooting were left to bleed in the street overnight until the curfew had ended and they could be retrieved by other Arabs to receive medical care. The Israeli government attempted to censor newspaper coverage of the event, which was ultimately unsuccessful. And in a very rare move of accountability, the members of the border police battalion that conducted the shootings were put on trial and convicted of murder. However, all of their sentences were either reduced or given outright presidential pardons. Sentences ranging as high as 17 years were reduced such that no man spent more than one or two years behind bars, and the commander of the unit faced absolutely no consequences whatsoever. And furthermore, as recently as October 2021, attempts to have this massacre officially recognized by the Israeli state have all failed. The most recent vote of which in the Knesset was struck down by a 93-12 majority, which again just continues the pattern of there being absolutely zero accountability on the part of the Israeli state. And again, I will emphasize that this was a series of nine separate shooting events that occurred throughout the evening. So there was plenty of time for these people to realize that they they were killing innocent women and children and adjust course or stop what they were doing. But they didn't. They just kept going throughout the night. This was no accident, I guess, is what I'm saying. This was a deliberate targeting and massacring of unarmed men, women, and children. And also to emphasize, there were more children killed than either adult men or adult women. And none of these people posed any threat to anybody or were even given an opportunity to defend themselves.
Number five, the Sabra and Shatila massacre. During Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, spearheaded by Ariel Sharon with the stated goal of removing PLO fighters, Israeli forces besieged and bombarded West Beirut. Under a subsequent ceasefire deal brokered by the US Reagan administration, the PLO evacuated Lebanon on August 21st with written assurances from the US that the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian citizens they were leaving behind in refugee camps would be safe. On September 14th, the Lebanese president-elect, who had allied himself with Israel, was assassinated by a member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party. To be clear, not a member of the PLO, not affiliated with the Palestinian refugees surrounded by the Israeli army at the time. But regardless, on September 15th, the Israelis falsely blamed the assassination on the PLO without evidence and used this as a pretext to violate the US-brokered ceasefire agreement and invaded West Beirut, surrounding Sabra, a Palestinian refugee camp, and Shatila, a nearby residential neighborhood. And on the following day, the Israelis sent in their proxy militia forces who proceeded to spend the next 48 hours brutally torturing and murdering untold thousands of unarmed civilian refugees. Survivor testimonies describe widespread rape, mutilation, and summary execution of men, women, children, and the elderly. There is no exact death count because the majority of bodies were buried in mass graves, making individual identification virtually impossible. Estimates by Israeli, Palestinian, and Lebanese investigative journalists range as high as 3,500 dead and many, many others permanently mutilated, all within the span of two days. Now, the Israeli military did not directly kill these civilians, but they did arm and supply the people who did, and also surrounded the massacre for two full days and prevented anyone from escaping, and also fired illumination flares overhead so that the militia could see what they were doing, and also provided bulldozers after the fact that were used to dispose of the thousands of corpses more easily. UN General Assembly Resolution 37/123D declared this massacre an act of genocide, and Israel's own Kahan Commission found Defense Minister Ariel Sharon personally responsible, and he was actually removed from his position as defense minister as a result of this. And I hear what you're saying. What? Somebody in Israel actually facing accountability and consequences for their actions? Not so fast. Because as it turns out, he was able to serve in a number of different cabinet positions in the coming years and would eventually become prime minister. You know, at least here in the US, you know, we we wait for people to become president and then they get to do war crimes. Doesn't usually work the other way around.
Hey there, folks. Hope you all are hanging in there. Okay, why don't we take a break from the war crimes and maybe decompress a little bit, take a breather before diving back in. I do have a couple of really big announcements to make. First and foremost, as many of you are already aware, my Synagogue of Satan video was watched and reviewed by head mustache in chief Ian Friaking Carol, who I have been a fan of for years at this point, making this one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me. Uh, yeah, he he watched the entire video on his channel and had just a ton of really nice things to say about it, which is which is really cool. This video is from a dude who I've never seen before. The Synagogue of Satan Conspiracy Theory Explained, and it's a hoot. It's a riot. That is some [ __ ] content, bro. That is killing the game, if you will. That's very impressive work, and I'm not surprised that he's getting those kinds of views when he's making content this funny. And he also had this to say.
>> And who knows, maybe he's like some massage scup. I don't know.
>> They ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand.
>> Guys, maybe I am a massage agent. Like this is one of those things where like if seven different people call you a jerk, then you're probably a jerk. Have you heard that before? So like maybe I'm just full Manurion candidate and I just have no idea. Uh, but you know, I think the universe is trying to tell me something. No, but in all seriousness, like Ian, dude, thank you so much. I I can't even tell you how much that means to me. And you basically doubled my subscriber count overnight single-handedly. So, you know, eternally in gratitude to you for that. Um, I don't know if you'll ever see this or not, but thank you so much. And to everyone who came to hang out with me after watching his video, welcome to the channel. Appreciate all of you very much as well.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to introduce a new character to the Quigley cinematic universe. Everybody, please give it up for Henry, aka Rabbi Saki.
>> Well, hey there kids. Have you all been circumcised already? Henry here is the vacuum cleaner that I left in the background of one of my previous videos like an absolute dingus who was then subsequently named and brought to life by user cousin Barnabas. Thank you for giving me the spark of life, Barnabas. All the blood I spill is on your hands now.
Hey, Henry. I've always wondered, why do they call you Rabbi Saki?
>> Oh, well, that's because I specialize in the ancient Hebrew tradition of Medsita Beep.
Medsita Beep? What even is that, Henry?
>> I don't think we're allowed to describe it on YouTube.
Well, fair enough, kids. You'll have to look that up on your own. This is your cultural enrichment of the day. I also give private lessons.
>> Well, folks, unfortunately, I do have some bad news. You see, Henry here has been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 mouth cancer.
Wait, wait, what? I have.
>> Yep. Unfortunately, you uh you performed entirely too many of those things that you were talking about just a second ago.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Why would you give me life only to take it away?
>> I'm so sorry, Henry. You know, I I don't make the rules.
>> You literally do.
>> Uh-huh. Now that's enough out of you. Time to go back into the liminal void.
Oh no. If you'd like to keep Henry around as a recurring character, well, please contribute to his medical bills by signing up for a channel membership. It only costs $1, and for that, you get early access to all of my videos. Plus, we're going to do a members-only Q&A video in the near future. So, if you'd like to ask me a question that I answer in a video for everyone to see, sign up soon. There's a link to a Google Form in the members-only section of the channel. Anyways, folks, without further ado, let's get back to the video.
>> The other thing you should do is hit the like and subscribe buttons on our boy Mr. Quigley's channel.
Number six, the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre. On February 25th of 1994, an American-born Israeli settler, Baruch Goldstein, wearing Israeli army fatigues and carrying an Israeli-made automatic assault rifle and 140 rounds of 5.56 in four magazines, entered the Ibrahimi Mosque during Ramadan morning prayers and opened fire on unarmed Palestinian worshippers, killing 29, including six children under the age of 15, and wounding 125 more before he was caught by the crowd of civilians and beaten to death. In an address to the Knesset, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin referred to Goldstein as "a shame on Zionism and an embarrassment to Judaism," which may sound like strong words until you remember that this is the same Prime Minister Rabin who oversaw the massacre and death march of Lydda a few decades earlier. So, no, Robbie baby. I think that in order for this man to be a shame on Israel, Israelis would have to be capable of experiencing shame to begin with, which they clearly are not. So, I think this guy fits right in. Actually, the part that I find the most grotesque about this, other than the attack itself, is the fact that Goldstein's grave became a settler pilgrimage site with people like this alleged human being coming to pay their respects. And in fact, according to a poll by the Smith Institute taken in early 2023, before October 7th, I might add, around 10% of Israelis considered Goldstein to be a hero rather than a terrorist, with another 33% saying that they are "undecided," which means that nearly half of all Israeli citizens range anywhere from indifferent to outright hero worship in regards to a man who fired an automatic machine gun into a room full of unarmed people while they were praying. In the aftermath of the attack, several prominent Israeli religious leaders praised Goldstein. At his funeral, Rabbi Yaakov Perrin said that even 1 million Arabs are "not worth a Jewish fingernail." Another rabbi, Israel Ariel, called Goldstein a holy martyr. In response to the very understandable protests and public mourning by Palestinians in the wake of this attack, Israeli authorities responded by imposing strict curfews on Palestinians and progressively restricting Palestinian movement in Hebron, creating the apartheid-style separation regime that persists there to this day. One of the few cases that I'm aware of where a mass shooting event resulted in the collective punishment of the victim demographic.
Number seven, the killing of Iman al-Hams. Fair warning, this one is rough and involves the brutal killing of a young schoolgirl. Okay. Iman al-Hams was a 13-year-old Palestinian girl who on the morning of October 5th, 2004, was walking to school with her book bag in Rafah when she was shot inexplicably by IDF soldiers stationed in a nearby outpost. After she had been shot at least once and was lying wounded on the ground about 70 meters away from the outpost, clearly posing absolutely no threat to any human being alive, she was approached by an unidentified Israeli captain who shot her twice in the head at close range. He then briefly walked away from her body only to return, set his rifle to automatic fire, and empty the rest of his magazine into her lifeless body. All of this was captured on CCTV camera. Witnesses reported that it was more than an hour before Israeli troops would allow medics to evacuate the body in an ambulance. A medical examination later revealed between 15 and 17 bullets lodged in this little girl's body. Initially, the soldiers involved claimed that she had been shot because they believed she was planting a bomb. However, recorded radio transmissions, later revealed in court, proved this to be an outright lie. At no point in the recordings did any soldier identify her as a threat or suggest that she was doing anything other than walking to school. And in fact, the recordings showed that the soldiers had described her accurately as "about 10 and scared to death" before opening fire on her. After an initial investigation was launched, the IDF released the following statement: "The investigation did not find that the company or the company commander had acted unethically. The investigation concludes that the behavior of the company commander from an ethical point of view does not warrant his removal from his position." Nevertheless, due to public outcry, the captain was temporarily suspended and a trial was launched during which the unnamed captain expressed no remorse over the killing and in fact said that he would have done the same if she were 3 years old. And in spite of all of this, the video footage, the radio audio transcripts, and the captain's grotesque admission in court, he was acquitted of all charges. He faced absolutely no consequences. He was also reportedly promoted to major after all of this and was compensated to the tune of $15,000 USD for the inconvenience of having to sit through this trial, which again is very consistent with the track record of promoting and rewarding child murderers. So there you go.
Number eight, Operation Cast Lead and the use of white phosphorus. Operation Cast Lead was a 22-day Israeli military operation that lasted from December 2008 to January 2009. The six months leading up to this operation were relatively peaceful, as Israel and Hamas had previously negotiated a ceasefire which was largely successful. On November 4th, Israel violated the ceasefire, surprise, surprise, by staging a raid into Gaza and killing six Hamas members. This caused a series of escalations which ultimately led to the initiation of Operation Cast Lead in the following month. The operation proceeded with an entire week of intense aerial bombing followed by a joint air and land assault and invasion and resulted in a greater combination of Palestinian deaths and destruction of property than in any previous Israeli offensive. Around 1,400 Palestinians were killed, including more than 300 children, with an additional 5,000 wounded. More than 3,500 housing units were completely destroyed and nearly 3,000 more were partially destroyed, leaving over 20,000 Palestinians homeless. Extensive damage to civilian infrastructure occurred, including almost 20,000 meters of water pipes destroyed, four water reservoirs, 11 water wells, as well as extensive damage to sewage networks, pumping stations, and more than $10 million in damage to electrical infrastructure. 18 schools were completely destroyed, including eight kindergartens, and more than 250 others were severely damaged. This operation seemed to serve as a trial run for what would happen to Gaza in 2024 and onward. On the other hand, this entire campaign resulted in only 13 Israeli deaths and apparently four of those were due to friendly fire. So yeah, clearly the Israelis were the victim in this situation. In addition to the wanton destruction of life and property, there were also a handful of more specific war crime allegations that came as a result of this campaign. But the one that we're going to talk about today is the use of white phosphorus. White phosphorus is a chemical most commonly used in combat settings as an obscurant. When exposed to oxygen, it ignites and burns at about 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and produces a smoke screen which can be used to cover troop movements. However, it is also a toxic chemical which when exposed to the skin or ingested in high enough doses, can result in numerous injuries including severe third-degree chemical burns, liver and kidney damage or failure, internal bleeding, long-term cognitive impairment, coma, or death. If you're feeling brave, go ahead and do a Google image search for white phosphorus burn. In March of 2009, Human Rights Watch published a 71-page report titled "Rain of Fire," which documented proof that the IDF had exploded dozens of white phosphorus shells in mid-air directly over densely populated areas, including residential neighborhoods, schools, a UN compound, and Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City. Donatella Rivera, a researcher at Amnesty International, said about the use of white phosphorus, "Its repeated use in this manner, despite evidence of its indiscriminate effects and its toll on civilians, is a war crime." One report from the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza reported that in the two years following the white phosphorus exposure between July and September of 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008, they noted a 60% increase in children born with birth defects and a 110% increase in blood cancer.
Number nine, the Great March of Return. For 18 months, from March of 2018 till December of 2019, tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza engaged in a series of weekly demonstrations along the Israel-Gaza border. The protests were largely nonviolent with some minor skirmishes near the border fence. Injury or casualty to the Israeli side were extremely minimal. However, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross, over 13,000 Palestinians were wounded by live ammunition during just the first year of the protests, with some 1,400 Palestinians struck by at least three bullets each. A UN independent commission of inquiry, with which Israel did not cooperate, found reasonable grounds to believe Israeli forces committed war crimes and crimes against humanity with snipers deliberately targeting clearly marked journalists, medics, children, and other non-violent observers. On many occasions, Israeli snipers were found to deliberately target civilians and shoot them in the legs and in particular the kneecaps, resulting in nearly 160 injuries that required amputation, including on 30 children and over 1,200 others that suffered complex limb injuries requiring intensive reconstruction to avoid amputation. Some of the highlights from that UN Commission report included a 21-year-old student who had just arrived at the demonstration about a kilometer away from the fence line. Israeli snipers shot him in the left leg and then after a few seconds, the right leg. His injuries required seven surgeries to avoid amputation. Another 19-year-old student journalist who was wearing a clearly visible blue press vest, standing at least 800 meters away from the fence line, who was shot twice, once in each kneecap in quick succession. His right leg required amputation. A 17-year-old schoolboy who was distributing water and onions to people who were suffering the effects of tear gas. He was shot from behind in the right leg and required amputation. A 64-year-old woman who was shot in the left leg just above the knee while attempting to help other protesters who had been shot. According to her, she had removed her veil to reveal her face under the incorrect assumption that the IDF would not shoot an unarmed elderly woman. And in what was perhaps the worst example I could find, a 16-year-old schoolboy approximately 300 meters from the fence line who was handing out sandwiches. He was shot in the face with a single bullet which entered through his nose and exited the back of his skull. Miraculously, he survived but suffered a fractured jaw and is now deaf in one ear and has lost his sense of taste and smell. These are just a handful of examples of the many people that the commission found that were shot that posed absolutely no imminent threat of death or serious injury to any Israeli soldiers when shot. Meanwhile, on the other hand, I could find only one Israeli fatality and four injuries reported during this entire 18 months of protests. So, it would seem that the use of force was almost completely unnecessary and excessive.
Number 10, the killing of Hind Rajab. On January 29th, 2024, a Palestinian family of seven was fleeing Gaza in a Kia Picanto when an IDF tank fired an explosive round at them, immediately killing five of the family members, leaving alive only 5-year-old Hind Rajab and 15-year-old Layan Hamada, the latter of whom immediately called the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and asked for help. Hamada informed the emergency staff that they were being targeted by a tank and that the tank was getting closer. Shortly after the phone call begins, you can hear the car being ripped into by automatic gunfire and Hamada was killed. When the PRCS called back, 5-year-old Hind Rajab picked up. She told them that she was still alive and begged them to come and save her. Two paramedics, Yusef Zeno and Ahmed Al-Marun, were dispatched to rescue her after getting permission from the IDF to do so. They approached the scene in a clearly marked ambulance along an IDF-approved route with lights and sirens flashing. And then, just as they saw the car, they were also hit by an explosive IDF tank round, presumably from the same tank, which killed both men instantly. Their deaths were also audio recorded. An investigation by Forensic Architecture placed the IDF tank only about 20 meters from either of the vehicles and concluded that the tank operator would have been able to clearly see inside the first vehicle and see that it contained children, and also very clearly see that the second vehicle was an ambulance with flashing lights and a siren running. Nevertheless, a total of 335 bullets were fired into the car containing the children after it had already been detonated by an explosive round. Israel publicly denied responsibility and in fact denied that there were even troops in the area at the time, which was demonstrated to be completely false. But of course, no accountability, no prosecutions, not even an apology or an acknowledgment have been forthcoming. By the way, recordings of these phone calls were made publicly available and can be found online. I have a link in the source document if you'd care to listen, but I will play a portion here.
Hello. Hello, guys. This one um this one really messed me up. Like I have a niece that's that age and um sorry that one um anyway I um I don't know what to say about it. Um let's move on.
Number 11, the Sdei Taiman detention camp abuses. I know that I said I was going to keep this to a list of 10, but this one was requested by a lot of people, so I figured I would give a little bit of attention to it. I almost didn't include this one at all because it's still a developing story and anything that I say about it right now may not be relevant or accurate in coming years if more information comes out. But on the other hand, the allegation of systemic and widespread sexual assault in Israeli detention facilities has been around for years now. So, we're going to touch on it a little bit. By the way, fair warning, we're going to talk about violent sexual assault in this section. If that's not something you're here for, skip to the next chapter. Stay tuned. An Israeli military base near Gaza that was turned into a temporary detention facility after October 7th became infamous in 2024 for allegations of widespread physical, psychological, and sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees. Investigations by human rights groups, detainee testimony, as well as testimony from Israeli whistleblowers who worked there and provided photographs to the press described inhumane conditions to include detainees being kept shackled to beds, blindfolded, and in diapers for extended periods of time, as well as beatings, broken bones, electrocution, sometimes to genitalia, medical neglect, including amputations from infected handcuff wounds, and sexual violence, including object penetration. The biggest flashpoint was a July 2024 incident caught on leaked CCTV, which showed a group of soldiers crowded around a Palestinian detainee. These soldiers were accused of severely abusing the detainee during an alleged body search and were accused of beating him and using a sharp object on his rectum, leaving him with broken ribs, a rectal tear, lung injuries, and other physical trauma that left him unable to walk. The leaked video led to the arrest of nine of the involved soldiers, which was infamously protested by a crowd of right-wing agitators who stormed the base in support of the arrested individuals. So now, this is what makes these allegations of sexual abuse so egregious to me. Not just that they almost certainly have happened, but more so the publicly favorable sentiment that has been brought out in Israeli culture in response to these allegations. Basically, the sentiment is this: It's totally not true that we're sexually abusing prisoners. And if you say that we are, then you're anti-Semitic and committing blood libel. But at the same time, even if we were sexually assaulting these people, we would be completely justified in doing so. And in fact, it would be a morally righteous thing for us to do, which is just a wild position to take to be able to hold both of those things in your head at the same time. That it isn't true and it's an evil thing to say, but also if it were true, it would be a righteous thing to do. To me, it just serves as more evidence that when Zionists cite blood libel, they don't actually care. They don't care. They don't care what you think of them. They don't feel. They don't have shame. They're just using accusations of blood libel to control the narrative. That's it. That's all that it is. Let me show you a few examples of this cultural response that I'm talking about. Meir Mazuz, a prominent Israeli rabbi with close ties to Benjamin Netanyahu, gave his blessing to one of the soldiers accused of sexual assault in a video that went viral. He was quoted in that meeting to have said, "And what if it were true? Don't we have the right to act like this?" Similar sentiments were also expressed by Likud Knesset member Hanok Milvitzky. When asked whether it was legitimate to insert a stick into a person's rectum, he shouted back, "Yes, if he is a nukba, everything is legitimate to do. Everything." And as a final cherry on top, I found this little gem of an interaction on mainstream Israeli television. So you heard that right. It is flaccid to not want to gang rape unarmed Palestinians. What more is there to say? Like again, imagine that there was a prison facility in your home country and that allegations of systemic, physical, psychological, and sexual abuse had been leveled against the people that were running that facility. And then imagine that prominent religious leaders and politicians and political commentators came out into the public eye with no shame whatsoever and said it's totally a good thing if those things were to happen. It's a righteous thing, and you're a [ __ ] if you don't want those things to happen. And then imagine being surprised and whining when it turns out that the rest of the planet hates your guts. Anyway, moving on. In March of 2026, the IDF's top military lawyer dropped all charges against the nine soldiers, citing "exceptional circumstances." And to be clear, they didn't drop the charges because it didn't happen. They dropped the charges because the video footage was leaked because supposedly this leaked footage somehow compromised the judicial process, which which isn't how any of that works, but you know, whatever. The soldiers were later cleared to return to reserve duty. And indeed, the only person who faced any real consequences was the former military advocate general who leaked the video footage. She was forced to resign and is currently under investigation for obstruction of justice, fraud, abuse of office, and other related charges. So, all of this paints a very bleak picture as to the truth of these allegations. And the last 80 years of Israelis just completely avoiding any accountability for war crimes doesn't help either. Which is why so many people are taking the recent New York Times opinion editorial by Nicholas Kristof very seriously, which is um which is the dog stuff. Yeah. So, look, there's already been some amount of reporting on this. I would highly recommend that you go and look up the original article by Nicholas Kristof, but also Owen Jones has been reporting on this for a minute. The main thing that I want to point out is that these allegations of the use of dogs in this way is not new. It's just new to the mainstream. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, the evidence of the use of dogs in this way is limited to either firsthand or secondhand testimony. We don't have any forensic evidence. We don't have any whistleblowers for this specific claim yet. So, does that mean that I am comfortable telling you that it is absolutely definitively true? No. But am I comfortable personally believing that it is true? 115% yes. But even if it were true, and even if we did have forensic evidence or whistleblowers, or even if we knew with concrete evidence that it was absolutely true, do I believe that anyone would be facing any accountability for it at all? Obviously not. So unfortunately, in terms of accountability, it's kind of a moot point. Whether it's true or not, nobody is going to face any consequences. So the only conclusion that we can come to is that there is clear institutional systemic enablement and protection for this kind of sexual abuse to occur, and that the entire Israeli culture apparently is willing to just turn a blind eye to it.
Anyways, those are the top 10 or 11 worst Israeli war crimes of all time. Now it is time for our dishonorable mentions. These are the war crimes that did not make the top 10 list but were in the running and that I think are worth mentioning. There is of course the infamous attack on the USS Liberty in June of 1967. This is where Israel attacked a very, very clearly marked US ship with cannons, rockets, and napalm, killing 34 US soldiers and wounding 171 more. This one is vile, but I feel like a lot of people in the US have already heard of it by now, and I wanted to prioritize things that were less well-known. There's also the Beer Sheva primary school bombing on April 8th of 1970. This is where the Israeli Air Force dropped five bombs into a single-story, two-room Egyptian primary school, killing 46 children and wounding 50 more. They then later tried to justify it by saying that the Egyptians had put elementary students in a military base. Yeah, okay, [ __ ]. And of course, there's just everything to do with Gaza and Lebanon and Iran since October 7th. Like I could have done another entire video just on Gaza with the indiscriminate bombings, the deliberate use of starvation tactics to include firing live ammo at unarmed civilians at food distribution sites, the blockading of multiple flotillas carrying food and medical supplies, the destruction of agricultural land, bakeries, and food production infrastructure. There's there's just there's a lot. But as with the USS Liberty, I wanted to focus on things that most people had not already been paying attention to. Oh, and also 9/11. Yeah, the Israelis did that one, too. You want to fight about it? Come find me in the comments. I'm ready to go.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that this is not a comprehensive list and not by a mile. Okay? I had to narrow this down a lot. I didn't even get to any of the hundreds of known Mossad assassinations or the 260 journalists that Israel has killed since October 7th. I would also like to reiterate and emphasize the total lack of shame or accountability on the part of just Israeli culture generally or on the part of the Zionist shills that we have here in the US that are defending Israel. Both on an institutional level and at a cultural level, there seems to be an allergy to any kind of acknowledgment of wrongdoing. And I think it's because if there was an acknowledgment of that wrongdoing, then there would have to be an acknowledgment of the overwhelming amount of debt that is owed to the hundreds of thousands of victims of Israeli war crimes over the last 80 years, and an acknowledgment of that debt would require some kind of reconciliation of that debt to the people that were harmed, and and of the of acknowledgment of the evil that is being perpetuated today in Lebanon and Iran and Gaza and the West Bank.
Anyway, so now comes the part where people will ask me, "Okay, so we know Israel is evil. So what do we do about it?" Well, I don't think that there's any chance of reasoning with these people. I think that as long as they are capable of doing evil, they're just going to continue doing it. It It's a sickness. So, at the very least, we in the US need to completely cut ties with this. We have to just financially, militarily, politically, just sever everything, divest. Israel is a cancer that has metastasized here in the US, and we need to excise that cancer from within our political structure and culture generally. I think that it starts and ends with funding. I really do. Like I think that if Israel didn't have the kind of financial and military support that we provide to them, they wouldn't be able to get away with half of what they do. Like they can only be so belligerent and evil because they know that they're protected by the American war machine. So, we need to cut off funding and we need to remove from office every single politician that is in any way even remotely attached to that funding. Look, when it comes down to it, I'm not an answers guy, okay? I I'm good at pointing out the problem. I'm not clear on what the solution is specifically.
Anyways, folks, um this one took a lot out of me. I may need to I may need to take a break from Israel for a video or two. I'm just It's not doing anything for my blood pressure.
