Footage shared on far-right Israeli Telegram channel appears to show detainees repeating in Hebrew that they want to be slaves 'forever and ever'

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.

    Oh they heard him loud and clear

    So, in this moment, we must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.

    They heard him when he provided weapons and when he vetoed UN resolutions for a humanitarian pause.

    If Biden wants to say otherwise he needs to do so with actions, not empty warnings of losing public support because the global public cannot stop the US governments defense of Israel, only he can.

      And he won’t because he’s 100% onboard with this, which is both disappointing and unsurprising. The only way we get better policy is to elect better candidates.

        When are you planning on starting that? Before or after the climate apocalypse?

          As soon as the system doesn’t shitcall over anyone who isn’t the anointed from the elite reds and blues, I suppose. Maybe next run of this simulated world?

      A ceasefire would be a good thing, but it’s not a permanent solution. Remember, thousands of civilians have died since the last ceasefire. It will take an international coalition to stand between Gaza and Israel with a viable strategy for a Palestinian state to form. Biden has a terrible history with his unconditional support of Israel, but he’s been trying to get Bibi to cooperate with a 2 state solution. Netanyahu is more interested in genociding Palestinians.
