I'm sure this will receive the appropriate level of coverage from publications such as the New York Times.

edit: Headlines are describing it as "a clash" between mourners and police. I hate this.

It’s because they have absolute power over life and death for every Palestinian and want to show it, and know that no matter what they do they’ll never face any consequences for it.

The answer is that Israelis are loving barbaric animals who truly only understand force and never backed down from any criminal activity until people could shoot at them like in Lebanon. The only reason Israelis stopped bombing that country on a regular basis is because hezbollah has their cities on lock.

from a nyt article

quote:

In a statement, the Israeli police said they “took enforcement action” after some mourners began chanting “nationalist incitement” and after officers had given the crowd a warning. As the coffin was carried out of the hospital, police said, they were “forced to act” because “rioters began throwing stones toward the policemen.”

The police later distributed video showing an empty plastic bottle and two other bottle-shaped objects being thrown in the direction of the officers in the moments before they advanced on the pallbearers, and separate undated video showing several stones on the ground. There was no clear indication of when or how the stones had reached that spot.

One thing I see often is when Israel engages in terrorism, their supporters bring up a nation like Russia or North Korea and would ask you why you are singling out Israel while other bad states also exist too?

Russia: United States, G7 and EU Impose Severe and Immediate Costs on Russia

• Full blocking sanctions on Russian elites and their family members, including sanctions on: President Putin’s adult children, Foreign Minister Lavrov’s wife and daughter, and members of Russia’s Security Council including former President and Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

• Prohibiting new investment in the Russian Federation.

• +4 more

Syria: . In 1979, the United States put Syria on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.

Sudan: U.S. Department of State sanctions on Sudan

Iran: U.S. Department of State sanctions on Iran

North Korea: The enormous list of sanctions against the DPRK is public.

Every nation Israeli supporters defer to as being a double standard are all sanctioned and punished for this. Israel is not and this is why so much attention is focused on Israel. When someone supporting Israel defers to the above nations, remind them that they are all already sanctioned and dealt with.

Most people haven't read more than a fraction of a headline about Israel or Palestine in their lives. Support for Israel is entirely based on complacent ignorance and unchallenged domestic platitudes (Israel is the only democracy in the ME, Israel is the representative of Jewish people everywhere, we have a moral duty towards Israel etc) that are just sort of absorbed by the public through cultural osmosis.

It's because they know the Western media will almost always try to both-sides any police-on-crowd violence, unless it happens in Iran or Russia. They can say the crowd was too violent or didn't obey orders to disperse, and all the reporters will nod their heads and dutifully write about "clashes" and "riots". They'll pretend the funeral turned into a riot, and that the authorities were regretfully forced to intervene to protect lives and property. As long as they don't shoot another person with a PRESS vest on at the funeral, they won't face much scrutiny overseas.

They have plenty of experience with this playbook, because it's pretty common for Israel to bust up funerals of Palestinians who were killed by IDF excesses, and how often do you hear about it? These funerals often become pretty big, attracting large numbers of Palestinians unhappy with Israeli rule - a perfect target for Israeli authorities. This is purely aimed at disrupting the Palestinian reaction.

This really isn't true though. There's a huge and incredibly well-funded propaganda apparatus that aggressively combats anti-Israel sentiment here, it's in no way passive. Those platitudes aren't something that just come out of nowhere, they're insisted upon by Israel apologists in the media and political classes so universally that the downstream public can draw no other conclusion

If you are someone with a platform(or someone seeking a platform) and you talk poo poo about Israel, that whole apparatus will start swinging its dick around until either your platform is gone or you have become so marginalized that it might as well be

Ehh I wouldn't go that far. The rhetorical point of the insane hard lines put out by Israel itself is that it creates space for supporters to frame their support in terms that appear nuanced or tempered when they're really not at all. With Democrat admins especially, it's pretty unlikely that they ever echo the exact propaganda line. There's no upside to it when they could simply feign discomfort while still backing Israeli brutality to the hilt

The issue is that if you accuse someone who is Jewish of an audacious act, even if not antisemitic, it is considered antisemitic. If I accuse the Israeli government of harvesting organs of dead Palestinians without consent, this will get traced back to blood libel. My point is that Jews like non-Jews can engage in blood libel too, but only one group is protected from such libel.

If you accuse Middle Eastern terrorists of harvesting their dead enemies' organs or engaging in some weird ritual backed by Islam, this no longer has the same protections that have been given to the Jewish people.

I may have used the wrong phrasing. In Germany, publicly questioning the 1945 Holocaust is illegal. When it comes to the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from Israel (Nakba), Germany joins Israel in banning any commemoration of this act of ethnic cleansing.

You would think that a country that bans any attempt to minimize the Holocaust would also be in favor of being against any attempt to diminish or hide the first of many ethnic cleansings against the Palestinian people.

I did not intend to invoke the Jewish people, but I highlighted this as an example of the double standard. An article from the NPR back in 2009 revealed that Israel banned any reference to the Nakba from school texts. The same country that will jail you for questioning the Holocaust publicly, is the same that denies the existence of one of their own acts of genocide.


Germany joins Israel by banning any demonstrations of the Nakba. Germany allows any commemorations of the Holocaust. Germany bans any public attempt to question the Holocaust. These were the protections I meant.
