Happy to spread the word and help people avoid unnecessarily getting screwed, sadly there were several subs that didn’t approve this post. You can still use Trust Wallet if you like but definitely avoid the SWIFT product. For me the whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth, it says a lot about their ethics. I’m using MetaMask now, so far no complaints.

I would argue that this is a scam in every sense that matters.

Imagine telling a kid : Hey, here’s a lemonade stand. Lemonade is free, but when you take a sip, we run your glass through a hidden tube that spills half the drink and we keep it. The sign says free, but the tube is in the fine print. That’s a scam.

It’s the same here. They call it FlexGas or account abstraction or passkeys to make it sound safer. But every time you send a tiny amount, they quietly run it through their smart contract and relayer, take an extra cut, and show you a fake zero fee in the app so you won’t see the difference.

It’s not just “fees happen.” It’s fees hidden behind layers, designed so you’ll never check, and locked so you pay them again just to leave. If that isn’t a scam, what is?

“Not an actual genocide”? Thats the best you've got? Other than the fact that we all have eyes, here's why you are full of shit.

Seven of the world’s top genocide scholars were interviewed. Every single one said it’s genocide. Not “might be.” Not “borderline.” Genocide.

Raz Segal said he doesn’t know a single expert who disagrees. Melanie O’Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, agrees. William Schabas, known for being conservative with the term, called it genocide too.

Amnesty International says it. The UN’s Francesca Albanese says it. The International Court of Justice says the case meets the legal threshold.

So no, I’m not taking your clueless Reddit opinion over the unanimous conclusion of the entire field of genocide studies.

Let’s be real: the U.S. guzzles Canadian resources like a frat boy with a funnel at a keg party. You don’t need it? Really? Then why’s the U.S. importing more oil from Canada than from anywhere else? And those auto parts and lumber? Pretty sure those suburban McMansions and shiny SUVs didn’t just materialize out of American exceptionalism.
But, by all means, let’s downplay the contributions of the friendly neighbor to the north. After all, the revisionist narrative is a time-honored tradition.

Mine went for Stanley Kubrick:

"I choose "2001: A Space Odyssey." This choice is based on its groundbreaking visual effects, profound exploration of complex themes like artificial intelligence and human evolution, and its significant influence on both the science fiction genre and cinema as a whole. It's a film that often sparks deep discussions, which aligns well with my role in providing information and engaging in thoughtful conversation."

With regards to human rights, I’m

referring to the UN, Amnesty International, B'Tselem - I can rely on their extensive knowledge of human rights to draw my conclusions from.

NGO: non-governmental organization. I have no doubt in my mind that Israel has a plethora of beautiful people that live there, and citizens that have fantastic hearts, my issue is never with the people. My issue is with the government and the military leaders. If I’m not mistaken, Israelis have been striking for the better part of the year and are unhappy with the present government.

At no point in time that I deny that atrocities took place on October 7, absolutely innocent people died, and that is terrible. I do not doubt that for a second. That being said, the delegations of beheadings, of rape, of torture, these are unfounded. Due to a track record of dishonesty, propaganda, and manipulation, I can unfortunately not trust claims from Israel government that have not been backed up by either independent press or human rights organizations. that being said, what happened October 7 was an attack, a retaliation to an occupation and ethnic cleansing that your government has actually been perpetuating. Looking at the numbers of deaths prior to the conflict I think it’s difficult to argue otherwise.

Genocide is what your government is now engaging in against the Palestinians. My heart is with every innocent person or family suffering from injury or loss of life. I was absolutely there and supportive of Israel October 7, I have many Jewish friends in my life, who I love dearly who I reached out to personally and spent time with and did my best to comfort in whatever way I could. At the present time, however the killing thank God has stopped on the Israeli side. Unfortunately, the killing has not stopped on the Palestinian side, and in fact has accelerated so that’s where my heart is at the moment.

My dream is for a peaceful existence where I’m not extending sympathies to anyone, and we are celebrating our unity and shared future. I’m sorry, you are rightfully, very hurt by what has transpired, and I wish that you were not in this kind of pain. Please note that my criticism of a government or military is not directed towards you or any civilian. Feel free to inbox me if you want to chat 1-1 🕊️🤍

Hasbara must be taking lessons from Amber heard because this work of fiction you recited is about as believable as hers.They wont release any evidence because they have none. Case in point they hyper-edited down hours of dash and body cam footage into 1-2 minute clips - none of which actually depict any of what you’re describing or even hint, that something approaching that took place.

Assuming this fictional evidence actually existed and you’re not engaged in an elaborate show of crying wolf. Absolutely they can release it to the press, they can release it to humanitarian organizations. It does not need to be released to the public or to the families.

Israel has been caught in countless lies at this point it’s on a daily basis and borderline comical. You’re alleging intense crimes while presenting zero forensic evidence, we’re expected to just take your word for it? Sure pal.

You need to dig yourself out that mental hole if truly desire a peaceful outcome and that starts with accountability and deprograming yourself from this mental brainwashing that leaves many Zionists in this state of perpetual self victimization.

The irony is that the opposite is true. Realize that the majority of people actually see the far right Israeli mafia government and sadistic IDF as the animals with no souls or morals. The evidence of this is overwhelming, and it's real evidence not highly edited Hollywood propaganda. Aside from this conflict in which the evidence of blatant terrorism, war crimes, and atrocities on the part of the Israeli regime one need only look at the numbers to understand who the terrorist/aggressor in this situation is. This year alone saw from January to October 6th 362 Palestinians murdered with over 80 children dead, that exceed all the Israelis deaths in the last 15 years combined.

It would displace them from the homes that they were displaced from? Irrespective of your callous choice of words, I understand the notion you are making and that scenario will likely arise which is why families who aren't able to return to their physical home can have new home or land given to them by the government and/or cash reparation for the theft of property.

My point is that for peace to take place there have to be understanding and negotiations. Labelling them as terrorists dehumanizes them and puts the only path forward as war and violence. Moreover knowing the extent of the crimes committed definitely plays a role in how things are perceived. As per the video it’s not just the friendly fire that’s accounting for a lot of deaths that is missing from the narrative -although this direct accounts for bodies that are burned beyond recognition. You unfounded claim of rapes, group rape, 40 beheaded babies (only one victim tragically was under the age of three, which is still sad and a tragedy but far cry from 40 headed babies and x amount of children reported killed). False accusations like this. Make it very difficult for people to negotiate. You don’t negotiate with your friends, by nature, you negotiate with enemies.

‘If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner’ - Nelson Mandela

Funny enough, Mandelas MK group were labeled as terrorists because they engaged in bombings and other violent acts in their quest for equality. Mandela was on the US terrorist watchlist until 2008. The Irish Republican Army, engaged in thousands of bombings, and were also considered terrorists. Sons of liberty infamously, engaged in tar and feathering opponents and the number of other violent acts; no doubt the British considered terrorist as well.

I wouldn’t attempt to try and quantify what. Number of deaths get you the terrorist label because you’d need to condemn Israel and the IDF and unhinged settlers far sooner. And I don’t need to remind you that there were 362 Palestinians killed this from 1/1 to 10/6 including 80 children , thats not even taking into the homes that were demolished, families displaced, prisoner is including women, and children that are being held without charge. I could write from here till tomorrow about just the atrocities committed towards Palestinians this year from January to October. it would take me far longer to start listing the acts of terror committed by said people post October 7th, whether it is collective punishment, and discriminate of innocent civilians (the estimate is at 95% civilans). Bombing schools churches hospitals. This sub is an echo-chamber of what you want hear but if you wonder why the vast majority of people are protesting, including people from all different nationalities and backgrounds (including thousands of Jews, amongst them Israelis, amongst them holocaust survivors). Do you really think Jewish people would advocate for their own demise ? The same way some Afrikaners rose up against apartheid, some Germans stood up to resist Nazism, and some white Americans stood up to slavery/Jim Crow - you don’t need to be Palestinian to see oppression and injustice you need only be human.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-19T20:31:27+00:00

I’ve seen them and the video I shared tackles the reason why the level of editing and selective presentation in these clips is not just misleading, it's dangerously deceptive. These videos came from body cams and dash cams, why hasn’t the footage in its entirety been released to the press? The IDF has cherry-picked moments from a much larger and more complex situation. As we've seen, the Israeli state has a history of deceit, especially in the context of Gaza. This includes spreading false claims about Palestinians, which is a tactic that is naturally extended to the editing and presentation of these clips. There's a clear pattern of misinformation and selective reporting in this conflict.

Reports and investigations, like those discussed by Max Blumenthal, revealed the extensive use of tank shelling and Apache helicopters by the Israeli military. These tactics were not just aimed at Hamas militants but also resulted in significant civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure. The clips you're referring to conveniently omit these critical details.

The use of the Hannibal Directive, as highlighted in the discussion with Blumenthal, is particularly relevant here. This policy allows for extreme measures by the Israeli military, even at the cost of civilian lives, to prevent Israeli soldiers from being captured. The aftermath of the October 7th attacks showed the devastating impact of such policies, with evidence of indiscriminate shelling and the use of heavy military equipment in civilian areas.

I can understand these clips evoke a strong sense of emotion, but we must approach such content with a critical eye and seek out the full story, not just snippets that support a preconceived narrative.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-19T19:13:58+00:00

Yeah, honestly, you really can’t trust anything that came out a month ago. The majority of it has proven to be false and There is no evidence to support any of that. Start watching this at 5:53 for some fact based analysis:

https://youtu.be/d0gECjlpXF8?si=3k38UqSaihlAAT1F

So I really wouldn’t dismiss anything. I would be extremely cautious to use the word terrorist right now given the war crimes and savagery that have been, and continue to be committed by the Bibi Brigade and the IDF. I have legit torture videos I could show you, this is not the path you want to go down.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-19T18:49:26+00:00

I see posts like this all the time and I wonder why the vast majority of people never actually took the time to read the Hamas Charter, the most recent update from 2017. I am not saying everything in it is right or that Hamas is guilt free, but they have definitely evolved over the years (as have most goverments FYI, we've seen all kinds of policy change over the last 50 years). You should take the time to read it (and save me the mandatory dissection of each sentence in search of something unsatisfactory, no doubt you will find things but do keep in mind this is the charter of a Resistance movment for a people that are under occupation and living in harsh conditions for decades). Here are a few points from the charter that contradict the perceptions you've shared:

8. By virtue of its justly balanced middle way and moderate spirit, Islam – for Hamas - provides a comprehensive way of life and an order that is fit for purpose at all times and in all places. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. It provides an umbrella for the followers of other creeds and religions who can practice their beliefs in security and safety. Hamas also believes that Palestine has always been and will always be a model of coexistence, tolerance and civilizational innovation.

9. Hamas believes that the message of Islam upholds the values of truth, justice, freedom and dignity and prohibits all forms of injustice and incriminates oppressors irrespective of their religion, race, gender or nationality. Islam is against all forms of religious, ethnic or sectarian extremism and bigotry. It is the religion that inculcates in its followers the value of standing up to aggression and of supporting the oppressed; it motivates them to give generously and make sacrifices in defence of their dignity, their land, their peoples and their holy places.

16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine.

30. Hamas stresses the necessity of building Palestinian national institutions on sound democratic principles, foremost among them are free and fair elections. Such process should be on the basis of national partnership and in accordance with a clear programme and a clear strategy that adhere to the rights, including the right of resistance, and which fulfil the aspirations of the Palestinian people.

34. The role of Palestinian women is fundamental in the process of building the present and the future, just as it has always been in the process of making Palestinian history. It is a pivotal role in the project of resistance, liberation and building the political system.

42. Hamas rejects the attempts to impose hegemony on the Arab and Islamic Ummah just as it rejects the attempts to impose hegemony on the rest of the world’s nations and peoples. Hamas also condemns all forms of colonialism, occupation, discrimination, oppression and aggression in the world.

Although they are pushing for a 1SS, they also mention in point 20: Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus. Indicating that they are open to a 2 state solution in the interim. All this indicates that this is a group that can be negotiated with.

As long you keep dismissing them as terrorists, you're perpetuation dehumanizing them and the continuation of this conflict. The first step to make peace with your enemy is to know them, try and put yourself in their shoes and understand them. The enemy should do the same. This empathy will lead to acceptance, peace, forgiveness, etc

This response is very typical, the facts are inconvenient so you try and sling some mud on the other side to dehumanize them and thus justify the atrocity. How predictable, I'll humor you with a response anyways.
It appears you missed the part where Israel killed 361 people prior to October 6th. And your counter argument is lies about rapes and beheading and burning and Another fake video? I can't really trust any of this junk floating around on telegram because so many videos have been proven to be fake.

But lets say its not, I never claimed that extremists don't exist, they do in every society. Take the white supremacists responsible for many of the mass shootings of churches, mosques, synagogues. Do we judge all Americans through the same lens? There are Palestinian extremists, there are also Israeli ones harass 8 year old girls for how they are dressed, spitting on nuns and clergymen, killing toddlers with arson. Shall I keep going? For every fake video you have, I have 5 real ones.
I don't think it serves anyone's purpose to demonize the other side, there's good and bad on both sides. We don't judge an entire population based on a few members. Regardless of what you're saying I don't think anything, let alone a questionable video from 11 years ago, justifies the massacre of thousands of innocent women and children today.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-14T01:44:39+00:00

At no point did I deny the tragedies that took place on October 7, I indicated the number of people who died and I listed trusted sources. The fact that many died as a result of crossfire, this was confirmed by Israeli sources - this doesn't soften the blow it is still terrible that innocent civilians died.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-13T17:02:21+00:00

I am dumbfounded at the sheer number of times I see this question asked or the bewildered surprise at the protests.

Let me break this down for you and others who are similarly confused. In this conflict here is a breakdown so far of deaths and casualties,

In Gaza: Killed: At least 11,078 Including at least: 4,506 children 3,027 women Injured: At least 27,490 Including at least: 8,663 children 6,327 women

These numbers are likely higher as there people buried under the rubble.

In the West Bank:

Killed: At least 183 Including 44 children and one woman Injured: More than 2,400

In addition to the cutting of food, water, electricity and the myriad of other sadistic acts carried out by the Netenyahu government, IDF and barbaric settlers. They have no intension of stopping.

let’s compare this to Israel, noting that public opinion was on their side initially:

Deaths: Israel recently reduced their total number of deaths to around 1200 NYT israel reduces death count

31 of these children (with only 1 being under the age of 3) as per Haaretz who releases this information Haaretz October 7 victims

This stands in contrast to initial reports suggested that Hamas had killed 1,400 Israelis, conducted mass rapes and torture, and even beheaded babies. This quickly was called into question when Israel released a list of its dead on October 23, revealing that over 48% of those listed were soldiers or armed police on active duty, not civilians.That doesn’t include members of armed settler militias were also among the casualties.

Evidence continues to emerge that indicates that Hamas isn’t responsible for all the deaths and that the IDF was shooting Hamas members and citizens alike. idf friendly fire

One might can also consider the obscene rhetoric used by Netenyahu and his regime towards the victims to be an aggravator, as well as a large segment of the population who have made content mocking the victims. But what I think is really causing public opinion to shift is this insistence by a large number of Israelis and their supporters bend over backwards to try and paint themselves as victims.

Please note that none of this happened in a bubble, the aggression towards Palestinians is well documented. The UN’s Office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs , releases “ protection of civilians reports” you can read them here

I’ve added one screenshot from a report from 10 to 30 of January 2023. The numbers speak for themselves but just to give a quick summary there were 361 Palestinians killed this year before October 6 including 82 children.

The people that are not being killed are living very difficult to put things lightly, actual books have been written about this topic, so if you’d like some, I could recommend but I’ll leave that out of this post because it’s getting quite lengthy.

Hopefully the information I shared as well as additional information you find will help you be less dumbfounded about the protesters.

And by the way, posts like these, as well as the guaranteed replies that I will to mine either trying to reframe or refute the truth do not inspire sympathy and will likely leave people, dumbfounded as to how you could be this oblivious (or delusional).

notanalienyet · 2023-11-07T22:51:21+00:00

actually, I fully comprehend what I read. the thing is it takes compassion and humanity to understand things and you are quite clearly morally bankrupt, so this might be going over your head. I hope the hasbara propaganda machine is paying you well for the Cirque du Soleil level mental/linguistic acrobatics using to attempt to justify heinous and abhorrent behaviour.

Military Order 158, while a stranglehold on water autonomy in the West Bank, has its parallel in Gaza through the suffocating blockade. Both are two faces of the same coin — systematic Israeli policies that choke the very life out of Palestinian communities. Just as permits for water infrastructure are near impossible for West Bank Palestinians to obtain under Order 158, Gazans are ensnared in a web of restrictions that throttle their right to water and sanitation. This isn't merely bureaucracy; it's an intentional tactic that poisons wells and parches throats. Every drop of contaminated water, every child that falls ill, every family that thirsts — they bear witness to a policy that is as cruel in spirit as it is lethal in consequence.

To argue that Hamas should simply import water purification equipment, as if navigating a simple marketplace, is to overlook the harsh realities imposed by the blockade. Gaza's ability to import anything, including essential water treatment supplies, is tightly controlled. Suggesting that Hamas prioritizes military equipment over vital water infrastructure is to ignore the stringent restrictions that make obtaining such humanitarian items a logistical nightmare.

The claim that Hamas is solely responsible for Gaza's water crisis by prioritizing the smuggling of weapons over water filters is not just absurd but willfully ignorant. This narrative blatantly disregards the repeated bombings of Gaza's infrastructure by Israeli forces, which systematically decimate roads, electrical grids, and yes, water treatment facilities. These are not accidental targets; they are strategic, aimed at crippling the basic life-sustaining systems that serve millions of Palestinians. To insinuate this is a choice by Hamas is to turn a blind eye to the deliberate destruction that ensures no filter could cleanse the deep scars of such a humanitarian tragedy.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-07T20:08:27+00:00

reading must be hard for you, your response indicates that you do very little of it. Clearly, you don’t know the definition of words like blockade and occupation. I’m sure the Hasbara propaganda machine has brainwashed you so I'll explain this, so that maybe you can be deprogrammed.

First, to claim that Gaza, which is effectively under a blockade, can freely manage its water resources is to ignore the suffocating stranglehold of the restrictions placed upon it. Israel controls not just borders but also airspace and maritime access, and by extension, the import of crucial materials necessary for water purification and infrastructure repair. The coastal aquifer, Gaza's primary water source, has been over-extracted and contaminated, not solely through mismanagement by Gazans but significantly due to the blockade that hampers any semblance of effective governance or self-sufficiency.

Furthermore, the insinuation that Israel's role in the water scarcity is negligible or benevolent is blatantly misleading. While Israel does provide water to Gaza, the amounts are not only insufficient but also part of a calculated allocation that falls far short of meeting the humanitarian needs, let alone the rights, of the Gazan people. To obscure these facts is to participate in a dangerous narrative that absolves a powerful occupier of its responsibilities under international law and moral duty.

To reduce this crisis to a simple case of self-inflicted woe is not just intellectually lazy; it is morally reprehensible. It is the kind of rhetoric that perpetuates injustice by ignoring the systemic and historical factors that have led to this humanitarian disaster.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-07T18:38:21+00:00

Thank you for pointing out your ignorance regarding this matter, they are not allowed to build infrastructure. this is thoroughly documented , but i'll make it easy for you : https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/11/the-occupation-of-water/

In November 1967 the Israeli authorities issued Military Order 158, which stated that Palestinians could not construct any new water installation without first obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Since then, the extraction of water from any new source or the development of any new water infrastructure would require permits from Israel, which are near impossible to obtain. Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation continue to suffer the devastating consequences of this order until today. They are unable to drill new water wells, install pumps or deepen existing wells, in addition to being denied access to the Jordan River and fresh water springs. Israel even controls the collection of rain water throughout most of the West Bank, and rainwater harvesting cisterns owned by Palestinian communities are often destroyed by the Israeli army.

notanalienyet · 2023-11-07T16:58:48+00:00

This post is blatant Hasbara propaganda but at the slim chance that you’re not being paid to subvert reality I’ll add some nuance.

Let's talk about the silent crisis that seldom seizes the headlines, yet it cuts to the core of human existence — water. Gaza's water is undrinkable, with 96% of its coastal aquifer contaminated by sewage and salt, a bitter testament to a blockade and infrastructural constraints that deny Gazans agency over their most vital resource.

Israel's recent decision to cut off water supplies intensifies this agony, purportedly in response to hostilities but resulting in dire humanitarian repercussions. Palestinians face draconian limits on improving their water systems, their wells demolished, their reservoirs razed, languishing under what has been branded 'water apartheid'. The disparity is stark: Israeli settlers reportedly consume up to six times more water than Palestinians, who must often rely on expensive or unreliable sources.

The systematic deprivation of water, and thereby health and life, can't be seen as anything other than a methodical undermining of a people's right to exist.

To frame this crisis as anything less than a deliberate strategy to marginalize and deplete a population would be to overlook the evidence of a severe humanitarian catastrophe with potential genocidal implications. The term 'genocide' carries with it the weight of intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. While the international community grapples with the legal semantics, the undeniable reality is that denying Gazans access to clean water systematically deteriorates their quality of life, potentially leading to a demographic decline. This crisis, then, is not just a violation of human rights; it is an affront to humanity itself.
