A video has been shared on social media appearing to show an Israeli soldier coercing detained Palestinians to describe themselves as slaves.
The clip shows blindfolded detainees sitting on a coach, repeating words in Hebrew after a man speaking from behind the camera.
“We’d like to congratulate the Azoulai family, lots of love and great success. We, the terrorists from Gaza are very afraid of the entire Azoulai family,” the men repeat.
“The Azoulai family is very, very, very, very respectable, important and we want to be slaves of the Azoulai family forever and ever. [We want] to work for them in sewage and gardening and a do a very good job,” they continue.
Okay, so you’re a jingoist, a loyalist sheep, and apparently not able to form your own opinion. Do you often let the government make your decisions for you?
We’ve historically supported Israel because they are a stepping stone into the Middle East. They are a loose Democracy, that holds strategic value in a region that we hold great economic interest in. That’s it. I understand nuance may be a little difficult for you to understand, but economic stability does not justify genocide. Nor does a terrorist act from HAMAS justify the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
