How Israel automated occupation in Hebron | The Listening Post

I went to Israel back in 2016 after graduating college and experienced something life changing. I was spit on by jews while eating with friends and they told me not to say anything or the military would come. I said well "im an American, I havent done anything to them lol" he said it was bc i was christia so out of respect for the people i was with i didnt say much else. One of my friends urged me to check out west bank so i got a permit and went through. I told my friend I wanted to dress like a normal palestinian to experience what his family has and it was eye opening. I was harrassed by military when going to the store and thrown rocks at by jews when i was just looking at the art on the west bank wall. I was circled around by jews who were saying stuff to me, I didnt understand what they were saying. I ended up just walking away and they threw more stuff at me. The experience was pretty crazy and not all jews i met over there were like that. I actually met some pretty nice ones in Jerusalem but they did say the extremist zionist had ruined their culture and it contributed to all the hate i saw. They apologized many times about the things i had experienced and of course i said it wasnt their fault but i could tell in their eyes they were deeply disturbed about what their people had done to me. Now, I have been to Mexico and thought the federalis carrying m16s around was crazy, this was next level insane lol The people in the west bank were some of the nicest people i have ever met. We ate together every night and talked like crazy. They shared their home with me and never let me give them money. I ended up giving some to one of the little girls and said to give to their dad when i leave. Its an sbolute travesty what i saw and i cant say anything more than this is just an occupation of people who are being demonized for just being muslim or arab. Since then ive been vocal about it with friends and family and have educated myself on the matter but its a mess and this fascist PM they have hasnt made anything better. I dont condone what hamas has done but explanation isnt the same as justification. I dont justify Hamas but I do understand why they exist, they exist because of tyrannical practices done by Israel and its fascist government. Its only natural gangs will form in Los Angeles when police brutality reached an all time high. I wish for peace for Israel and Palestine everyday and I hope humanity prevails. Justice for Palestine!

How can you expect these Palestinian people won't revolt if you treat them like some criminals inside prison

I have watched movies about the oppression of Germans to Israelis, and I have felt the same terror I've heard from the shouts of these Israeli soldiers with the shouts of the German soldiers in the movies. It's so sick to see these Israeli soldiers becoming the monsters they despised only a century ago.

Nobody can imagine this way of living in today's day and age. - How is it possible? - How are they getting away with this? - Why is this not known to people? - WTF? This is depressing.

Most Americans are not aware of the human rights violation the Israeli goverment imposes on the Palestinians so thank for shedding light on the matter. As an American, I know this information would never be shown on any channels.

When u suppress the people for so long,they have no option than to fight back...my heart goes out all Palestinians living under this oppressive regime, women and children oh lord.

All my life I have been pro Israel, seeing this for the very first time have really changed my perspective about Israel.... how can you subject people to live in this manner, this is saddened.

Im Brasilian...I can afirm you that almost nothing knows this side of history. I will share this video with my friends.

Imagine talking about how badly your ancestors were treated while treating your own like this.

Shame on British and American governments Letting these evil people take land from the owners. 😢

Israel really treat Palestinian like animal .. so disgusting. How this can be happened in modern days? really sick.

I feel sorry for Palestinian people I’m crying watching this 😢

For those supporting Israel should watch that documentary...

Bare in mind that this was documented 5 months ago.. even before the recent war happened. I cant imagine the suffering of palestinians. I can only pray for a free palestine 😢❤🇵🇸

So the Western media always talks about the Uighurs but never about the Palestinians

You wont see this in the English media...its absolutely sickening to see people being treated this way. Did they not learn anything from their own holocaust? Its no wonder that people take up arms and fight. This is something everybody in the world needs to see before they even think of supporting Israel.

This is an important piece of context in these times when the Netanyahoo government tries to present itself as a victim. The settler oppression of Palestinians will only serve to perpetuate the conflict and the endless cycle violence.

As an American i had no clue ...i want to hear both sides not just one side they want me to hear...this is sad and wrong on all levels

As an American l will never understand why we support Israel without any conditions. My best guess is greed on our part. Nothing but contempt for all parties involved. My own goverment included.

I’m an African-American descendant of slaves, and this sounds so similar to what my grandparents told me about what it was like living in the Jim Crow south. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
