“May your children die, you dogs”: As Gaza burns, Israelis bay for blood in streets of Tel Aviv

“They don’t deserve to live, they need to die”

“May your children die, you dogs”

“Now we want to go back there [to Gaza] and kick out all the Arabs.”

“The people demand more shooting”

“Muhammad is dead”

These were some of the calls from a group of Israelis demonstrating in favor of Israel’s attack on Gaza in the streets of Tel Aviv last night.

Peaceful protests by Palestinian students at Israeli university were met with similar incitement.

In Tel Aviv, across the road, another group of Israelis protested against the assault. “We came here to say that we must end this war immediately,” Knesset member Dov Khenin of the communist Hadash party told the anti-war crowd, “every additional drop of blood is needless.”

The duelling demonstrations were filmed by David Sheen. While anti-war voices exist, there’s little doubt that much of the Israeli Jewish population stands behind Israel’s attack on Gaza, believing the government propaganda that Palestinians are firing rockets at Israel unprovoked while Israel seeks peace and quiet.

Among the pro-violence demonstrators was Baruch Marzel a notorious settler fanatic who frequently incites violence. “The enemy must be expelled and destroyed,” Marzel said, specifiying that Palestinians should be kicked out of Gaza so Israelis could re-settle there.

“You’re cross-dressers! You’re the Gay Pride March, that’s what you are,” shouted another war supporter at the peace demo, a call that was echoed by others.

One man warned fellow protestors, “They’re filming us, don’t curse” but that did not stop the violent calls. “Go to Gaza with the Muslims, you sons of bitches,” said one. “The people demand more shooting,” responding to calls for a ceasefire from the pro-violence demonstration across the road.

The calls for blood and violence in the streets echo incitement by Israeli government leaders. In recent days Israel’s “minister of home front defense” Avi Dichter called for Israel to “reformat” Gaza – wipe it clean – like a computer hard drive, except using bombs.

Israeli transport minister Israel Katz called for Israel to bomb Gaza so hard that the population would flee into Egypt, and for Israel to cut off water and electricity supplies.

“Death to the Arabs”: Incitement at Israeli universities

Hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel, students at several universities, turned out to protest the Israeli attack on Gaza, despite a heavy police presence on and around campus, reported Arabs 48, a website providing news on Palestinians in Israel.

At Tel Aviv University, some 150 Palestinian students gathered despite a heavy security presence, Arabs 48 reported, and there right-wing students from the Zionist group Im Tirzu confronted them shouting racist slogans including “Death to the Arabs.”

Similar scenes took place at Hebrew University, where right-wing students were held back by security forces from attacking Palestinians calling for an end to the violence.

“the most terrible thing I’ve seen in my life”

At Haifa University, Palestinian students held a moment of silence for victims of the Israeli attacks in Gaza, and were quickly confronted by Israeli Jewish students, according to Arabs 48.

“What happened today at the Haifa University was the most terrible thing I’ve seen in my life,” tweeted Israeli Twitter user @kesterica who witnessed what happened at Haifa, “Arab students were silently protesting against the war. They invited the Jews to join them.”

“In response,” @kesterica tweeted, “dozens of Jewish students attacked the Arabs, called them traitors, spread rumors that they were mourning [Jabari], sang [the anthem religious songs encouraging war].”

On Wednesday morning, Israel carried out the extrajudicial execution of Ahmad al-Jabari, the top Hamas military leader in Gaza, breaking a truce, and reigniting violence that left 19 Palestinians, including at least 6 children and a pregnant woman, and three Israelis dead since Wednesday, by Friday morning.

“The Jews sang: ‘he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead.’ I don’t tend to cry fascism, fascism, but that’s what it was,” @kesterica tweeted.

“An Arab girl who stood there told me that she was asked why she was standing there, and she said she was against war and against casualties [deaths] and invited people to join her. It didn’t happen,” added @kesterica.

“I cannot say what each of the protesters thought, but she and quite a few of the folks standing there said they were just against war. To tell you the truth, me too,” she tweeted.

Palestinian students sang the Palestinian anthem “Mawtini” in response to the taunts, as the video above shows.

Violent and racist sentiments have also been widespread among Israelis on Facebook and other social media.

During Israel’s 2008-2009 attack on Gaza, journalist Patrick Cockburn observed:

Israeli society was always introverted but these days it reminds me more than ever of the Unionists in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s or the Lebanese Christians in the 1970s. Like Israel, both were communities with a highly developed siege mentality which led them always to see themselves as victims even when they were killing other people. There were no regrets or even knowledge of what they inflicted on others and therefore any retaliation by the other side appeared as unprovoked aggression inspired by unreasoning hate.

Much the same appears to be true today.

With thanks to Dena Shunra for spotting and translating @kesterica’s tweets.

Comment by Less Prone on November 19, 2012 at 11:00am: People are spellbound to believe such delusion that makes them blood thirsty beasts. But the lies are becoming too incredible to sustain.

Comment by suzie on November 17, 2012 at 12:40pm: once the scales fall from ones eyes it becomes painfully obvious who the aggressors are ~ add a little history and all i found was a deal made by the Rothchild house with England to give Palestine to the Jews and create a nation state for them but what right did they have to do that through the UN? One of the biggest lies i have found was that that land was barren and no one lived there.. and the Jews came and made it a garden fruitful and beautiful offered peace to Palestinians and they ruined there gardens and built rocket launchers in place of the gardens.. What i see now is a people who were given something that already belonged to someone else and have with the permission of the UN and the blessings of the USA have occupied Palestinian land and been engaged in Genocide for 60yrs .. that is more years than my whole life .. i have grown up in a world that told me Israel was the best friend of America what i am finding is it seems like we have become beholden to them or else .. it is all backwards, Netanyahu says that after the terrorist finish off Israel they will come after us! I am seeing Israel as America's greatest threat not Iran, not Hummas and certainly not poor Palestine.. i see them using american media to brainwash us here.. Before i looked at alternative messages and news and blogs and watched documentaries and read a little history i believed everything i heard on tv because why would ''They" lie to me? I don't know the exact moment of my awareness of Israel, zionism and how Jews have an agenda that is certainly not in the interest of my country.. But i was definitely like some of the ignorant people i see in these videos that want to defend Israel. If i hear one more time that we founded as a Judeo/Christian nation i think i'll puke .. We have heard this over and over and over again until we don't even question it! One day i just asked myself "who was the rabbi on the mayflower? was there some boat filled with jews i never heard of? It is thanksgiving soon i don't remember the puritans reading from the jewish torah book and i don't remember any jews who signed the constitution... They have by covet means bought america! politically & through corporate interests. They own almost everything that control people by the news mass media, the school systems, and the way money is used to control people and are responsible for deep infiltration using communism as a tool to destroy us from within. We have been manipulated and it seems they have been busy re written our history books as well Norman Dodd's interview revealed that and the Reese commission should have been a grave warning but there were already too many powerful Jewish interest in place to squash any resistance .. In search of a jewish forefather i found propaganda of how much jews have given us and i now recognize it as just that propaganda because there isn't one Jewish Fore Father NOT ONE!!~

but i found this propaganda

Jewish Roots of the American Constitution

The Jews have done more to civilize men than any other nation…. They are the most glorious Nation that ever inhabited the earth. The Romans and their Empire were but a bauble in comparison to the Jews. They have given religion to three-quarters of the Globe and have influenced the affairs of Mankind more, and more happily than any other Nation, ancient or modern.[2]

i used to believe things like that! its incredible! it reminds me of a quote: The complete quote is:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels

.With characteristic pathos and egomania he declared not long before his death: 'We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as the greatest criminals.'

He also said:
“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over”

Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.”

i didn't even touch the Tax free foundations or the protocol's of the elders of Zion..

i guess what i am saying is if i woke up not that long ago and i am not very smart~ i am hopeful more will before its too late~ ultimately God is in control but that should NEVER stop good people from doing good things ever!! It should instead motivate us to do good always and seek peace holiness, &goodness but as long as killing others is promoted as patriotic for one side and defending yourself from killers or even speaking out against it makes you a terrorist and people believe this? we must be willing to keep telling the truth and promote peace ~ It seems ironic that one of the most hated men in all of history gave us the answer~keep telling the truth ..

"the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels
