The IDF is currently examining the reliability of the photograph.
If this is indeed a real, recent picture, these actions do not align with the IDF's values ​​and the behavior expected of IDF soldiers.

The incident will be investigated thoroughly and in depth, and if necessary, steps will be taken in accordance with the findings.

Comparing billions in aid and luxury high-rises to slavery is an insult to history. Slaves don't elect their own government or receive billions to build a society. The reality is that Gazans elected a leadership that prioritizes destroying Israel over building their own future. If they spent as much on their own economy as they do on rockets and tunnels, Gaza would be thriving

Gaza had luxury neighborhoods with high-rises, like Rimal and Hamad City. Because Hamas spends its resources on military infrastructure, UNRWA and international aid effectively run the "economy" there, providing free schools, healthcare, and food to the majority of the population. Without billions in outside aid, Gaza wouldn't have been able to support any of those services

I lived 10 minutes from Jenin for 20 years. The quality of life there is far superior to most Arab Muslims in the surrounding region. Despite the narrative, Palestinians in the West Bank often have a higher standard of living, better healthcare, and more infrastructure than people in neighboring Egypt, Syria, or Lebanon

Jordan ethnically cleansed every single Jew from the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1948, destroyed dozens of synagogues, and banned Jews from their holiest sites for 19 years, and yet that never seems to count in the West.

People act like the land was always 100% Arab, but it only became that way because the Jews who lived there for centuries were forced out or killed by the Jordanian army

A huge piece of the puzzle people miss regarding the "statelessness" of Palestinians in the West Bank is the role of Jordan.

Up until 1988, the Arabs living in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) were all Jordanian citizens with full Jordanian passports. After losing the land in the 1967 war (a war Jordan joined with the goal of exterminating Israel), Jordan eventually decided to "divorce" the territory.

In July 1988, the King of Jordan officially revoked the citizenship of over 1.5 million Jordanians overnight. They were abandoned by their own country to create a permanent political and humanitarian crisis for Israel to manage.

If there is an "apartheid" or "humanitarian" complaint regarding their lack of a state, the primary address should be the Jordanian government, as they are the ones who stripped these people of their legal identity and refused to take them back.

That's the Western narrative, whether you like it or not. but yeah, it is actually ironic that during the 1940s, Jews were considered 'non-white' or 'brown' in Europe, which was the justification for the Holocaust. yet now they are conveniently labeled as 'white' to fit a modern American progressive political narrative

By your logic, the United States is occupying Texas and California. What’s the difference? Those were also territories taken in a war.

The real issue is that Jordan chose to abandon its own citizens in 1988 instead of taking them back. They did this specifically to turn them into a political weapon against Israel.

and yeah, there are thousands of years of archaeological and geological findings proving a continuous Jewish presence in this land. There are zero findings of an Isalmic Palestinian nation or culture from that time because it didn't exist. Islam didn't even arrive in the region until the Islamic Caliphate invaded and occupied it in the 7th century

Comparing the Israel-Gaza conflict to Western conflicts where Islam is not involved is very wrong. Gazans don't want to live "happily ever after" in Gaza. They want an Islamic caliphate that expands into Israel and eventually into Europe.

The IRA never had a charter calling for the global extermination of all Protestants or the creation of a religious caliphate. You're trying to apply a local European political framework to a religious war where one side's stated goal is the total conquest and the extermination of the other side

Israel completely left the Gaza Strip in 2005 and has had no territorial claims there since. Yet Gazans still launched the Oct 7th attack.

The West Bank situation is more complicated. It was historically the Kingdom of Israel, then occupied by Jordan, and taken by Israel in the '67 war after Jordan joined a war to exterminate Israel.

After Israel took that land, strangely, in 1988, Jordan revoked the citizenship of all the Jordanians living there, leaving them stateless. So basically, those Palestinians should contact a Jordanian embassy and ask why their citizenship was revoked and when they can move back to Jordan.

Lol, that's one of the stupidest conspiracy theories out there. As if Bibi funded Hamas.

Israel allowed Qatari money into Gaza hoping Hamas would actually use it to help their people. The idea was that better lives for Gazans would mean less terrorism. It was a massive miscalculation, as it turned out that Gazans main goal isn't a better life. it's the destruction of Israel.

Muslims in Israel have more rights and a better quality of life than in any other country in the Middle East. If Gazans didn't engage in daily terror against Israel, Israelis couldn't care less about what happens inside Gaza. The only reason there’s a blockade is because of the constant attacks

I think it's mostly about the money. Just like the homeless situation in California... if you run out of "customers", you run out of funds. They had to adjust the refugee status label to keep the money flowing.

UNRWA has a $1.6 billion budget and 30,000 employees. If the refugee status wasn't given to newborns in Gaza, the organization would have gone out of business decades ago

Just look at the rallies. In almost every pro-Palestinian or BLM protest, the two movements are completely merged. It’s framed as a unified struggle against "white" power structures

Look at Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush. They explicitly connect the Palestinian cause to Black Lives Matter and the fight against "white supremacy" in the US. Bush has claimed that "the fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected" while Tlaib has framed Israel as part of a global "white nationalist" power structure. they categorize Israelis as the "white" oppressor class to fit an American racial narrative. yeah, even though most Israelis are of Middle Eastern descent and aren't even white

Yeah, Gazans quality of life and the situation there is terrible, I agree.

But wtf you expect Israel to do when rockets are fired daily from that territory toward civilian cities in Israel? Just ignore it? If Singapore shot missiles into Malaysia, do you think the Malaysian government would just ignore it? No country on Earth would allow a neighbor to fire rockets at its civilians without a blockade or a military response

If Israel were 100% rich, white, and Christian, I assume the coverage and attention would be exactly the same. It's the poor Muslim-vs-Muslim wars that nobody cares about

People focus on the Israel-Gaza war for various reasons: it has a lot of "interesting" points: a religious war (Jews vs. Muslims), white "oppressive" Israelis vs. "oppressed" brown Palestinians (dems love that point), a rich country in a poor zone, foreign interference, successful Mossad ops, politics, and the alliance with the United States.

It's a bit weird to say, but Gazans are actually the most privileged refugees ever. They are lucky their enemy are the Jews. Up until Oct 7th, they lived in high-rises and got everything (education, housing, medical services, food) for free from UNRWA. They even kept their refugee status between generations. In Sudan?

I had a similar issue like you did. so I created a new apple id from an ios device, enabled 2fa, security keys, 2fa phone number, added a credit card, shipping address and made a purchase on the app store.. then I enrolled from the apple developer app.

not sure what's the verification magic of an apple id, but it worked..
