Clearly rhetorical but, is there anyone (or anything) left to even give “aid” to anymore? Are people really stupid enough to buy this? Oh wait, of course there, like they always have been ever since the press was bought and paid for by whomever benefits the most.

Who would known being subject to one of the most inhumane genocide that nearly destroyed a religion combined with a half hearted method of creating a country for said displaced people would make for a learning tool to maintain a nation-state backed by countries who swore never again to allow themselves to be like the goosesteppers yet live vicariously through said country.

It's time countries across the world decided this, either you support Israel and put anyone who disagrees with you in jail or marginalize them so people know the party line or you do the same with Palestine as recognize them as a nation state and do the same.

At least with this brand of transparency we can know who is who's side

In a press statement following the Israeli massacre against starved people in Rafah, the Government Media Office in Gaza states:
*This massacre is considered an act of genocide under Article II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
*We call on the United Nations and international institutions to take immediate action and exert all possible pressure to open the border crossings without interference or conditions from the Israeli occupation.
*The current aid distribution scheme is nothing but a death trap intended to gather civilians into mass killing zones.
You would not believe how big the red circle bullet points (that I replaced with asterisks) were when rendered on this site as copy pasted text (at least in the browser I use). I was shocked.

Yeah, copying and pasting into here can get some odd results.

To be frank, that factoid makes a whole lot more sense when you understand who established, funded, supported, and endorsed Hamas in the first place, and most importantly why.

Hint: the Israeli government. The Israeli government did it. Specifically to create an extremist counterpart and rival to the PLO, that would fight against and draw support away from the PLO, while discrediting Palestinian liberation activists as terrorists and supporters of terrorism, and creating a "forever enemy" to justify Palestinian genocide under the auspices of anti-terrorism. Israeli support for Hamas continued until at least the mid-2010's, up to and including supporting Hamas against Fatah in their elections and post-election conflict, specifically to prevent a more moderate and palatable faction capable of courting favor in the global court of opinion from replacing Hamas.

The Israeli government, and especially the current Likud-led coalition, doesn't want Hamas out of power. They've expended an horrific amount of social, political, and economic capital to build Hamas, and keep it in power.

As well as to vilify them unfairly; they still reference a long since obsolete charter in their propaganda and of course lie their asses off about Hamas actions. The Zionists have done a lot of work on the branding of Hamas for white audiences. They wouldn't want it to lose its relevance.

was a lot going on simultaneously last night


BREAKING: Israeli Forces Board Gaza Aid Flotilla and Detain 12 Crew Members
Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg was on board the ship.

Israeli forces boarded the Gaza Aid Flotilla ship, the “Madleen,” early Monday morning local time and detained the 12 passengers on board, according to several reports.

The humanitarians on the ship, including globally-known humanitarian and Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg, European Union Member of Parliament Rima Hassan, and several other volunteers, sought to deliver aid to Gaza.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it has lost connection with the vessel, which was carrying medical supplies, diapers, baby formula, children’s prosthetics, and other desperately needed aid in Gaza.

One of the last images posted on the flotilla’s Telegram account showed those on the ship with their hands up.

Before connection was lost, video from the vessel showed some form of white substance sprayed upon the vessel. Passengers reported the unknown liquid came from drones flying overhead, while the ship’s radios began being jammed.

“The ‘selfie yacht’ of the ‘celebrities’ is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are expected to return to their home countries,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that he instructed the Israeli military to take “any measures necessary” to block the aid ship – or as he called it, the “hate Flotilla” – from reaching Gaza.

“This interception, carried out outside Israeli territorial waters, constitutes a blatant violation of international law, including maritime and humanitarian law,” Hassan’s office said in a statement. “The arrest of the crew members and the confiscation of aid intended for a population in immediate humanitarian distress is unacceptable.”

Organizers have released several videos of the passengers aboard, urging the passengers’ countries of origin to pressure Israel to free them.

"My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am from Sweden,” Thunberg said in her video. “If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel. I urge all my friends, family, and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.”

Here are the 12 people aboard the Madleen, and where they are from:
  • Greta Thunberg – Swedish activist and humanitarian
  • Rima Hassan – French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament
  • Baptiste Andre – France
  • Pascal Maurieras – France
  • Yanis Mhamdi – France
  • Reva Viard – France
  • Omar Faiad – French reporter with Al Jazeera Mubasher
  • Thiago Avila – Brazil
  • Suayb Ordu – Turkey
  • Sergio Toribio – Spain
  • Marco van Rennes – The Netherlands
  • Yasemin Acar – Germany

Inside the TV Network Pumping 'Genocide' Into Israeli Homes

A special Zeteo report examines the racist and genocidal statements broadcast on Channel 14 – and hears from the coalition of Israeli groups hoping to hold the popular right-wing network accountable.


Jun 03, 2025





“I don't sleep well unless I see houses collapsing in Gaza. What am I going to do? More, more, more houses, more towers, they shouldn't have anywhere to return to.”

This is what Shimon Riklin, a host on Israel’s Channel 14, said live on air in December 2023.

It’s just one of countless genocidal and racist statements uttered on the popular Israeli television channel over the past 19 months – rhetoric so prevalent that a coalition of Israeli groups had asked the attorney general to investigate the network for inciting war crimes and genocide and to prevent the channel, as much as it still can, from becoming a “modern Israeli version” of the infamous Rwandan genocide-inciting RTLM radio station.

With no action taken and the rhetoric continuing, the coalition – which includes Zulat for Equality and Human Rights, the Democratic Bloc, and the Association for Fair Regulation – last month escalated their complaint to Israel’s highest court.

"A media channel that is in every home in Israel, watched by soldiers and officers operating in the name of the State of Israel in Gaza, has become a machine for inciting war crimes, violence, and racism,” the complaint filed to Israel’s Supreme Court on May 8, 2025, reads.

The coalition accuses Channel 14, also known as Now 14, of helping fuel the brutality Israel has unleashed on Gaza. The death toll in Gaza now officially stands at more than 54,500, though it is likely much, much higher. More than 2 million people have been displaced, and Israel for months blocked aid from reaching the enclave, leaving many Palestinians facing “severe starvation” as food supplies run out.

All the while, Channel 14, which was seen as a smaller player in the Israeli media landscape just two years ago, has flourished. The network is among the rare outlets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has in the past granted interviews to – again and again, while boycotting most others.

Hosts on the channel have faced no apparent discipline for calling for Gaza to be wiped off the planet; the broadcaster has platformed politicians and former officials calling for the “eviction” of Palestinians and cheering on the military setting fire to Palestinians homes; it’s even aired a guest calling for children to starve to death.

The network has sought “to prolong the war and to delegitimize the very right of Palestinians in Gaza to exist, or at least to exist in Gaza, and to attack everyone who is opposed to continuing the war,” says Oren Persico, a staff writer at The Seventh Eye, an independent Israeli outlet dedicated to freedom of the press.


A Legacy of Controversy

Channel 14 has built its reputation off a legacy of controversy. In 2018, when the network went by Channel 20, it drew mass condemnation for airing an interview with Yitzhak Gabbai, who served three years in prison for setting fire to a Jewish and Arab bilingual school in Jerusalem. In 2021, the network fired one of its reporters after he said live on air that “one rocket fell on a soccer field in a large Arab town. Unfortunately, it did not result in mass deaths there.” In early 2023, a court ordered the network to pay tens of thousands of dollars in compensation to Reform and Conservative Jewish groups for systematically discriminating against them and excluding them from the air.

It wasn’t until Netanyahu’s 2023 announcement of policies to overhaul the judiciary, however, that the channel’s popularity began to spike, analysts say.

“After being caught lying on live television on several occasions, and after meddling with other news organizations with limited success” for which he is facing trial right now, “Netanyahu decided he wanted a Fox News-style channel that would not dare challenge him,” said Yuval Katz, an Israeli communications and media lecturer at Loughborough University in the UK. “Many of the people working on the channel currently are essentially Netanyahu's cronies; they are briefed by Netanyahu, who is obsessed with controlling the news media, and promote his agenda.”

That has appeared to earn the channel several exemptions and benefits not given to competing outlets, helping to expand its reach and cover its overhead – with the government even exempting it from certain broadcast fees. Channel 14’s controlling shareholder is Russian-born Israeli investor Yitzchak Mirilashvili, the co-founder of Russia’s largest social network, VK. Mirilashvili, who is the son of Israeli billionaire Mikhael, grew up in Israel, and Netanyahu has in the past boosted the tech company owned by Mikhael – including at an AIPAC conference and the United Nations.

With the channel already on the rise, it became even more popular – and the proliferation of its dehumanization towards Palestinians intensified – after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.


‘Why Do We Even Have an Atomic Bomb?’

The coalition that filed the complaint against Channel 14 compiled a list of more than 200 quotes said by both hosts and guests on the Hebrew-language network that it claims showcases the extent of the genocidal and other incendiary rhetoric.​
