The rightwing Israeli Jewish group “Im Tirtzu” has published an incitement video, featuring Adi Shosberger, who has recently called soldiers near the Gaza fence ‘terrorists,’ and an activist from ‘Machsom Watch’ (‘Checkpoint watch’) who tells an Israeli soldier “you are a disgrace”.
The video frames these actions as a conspiracy of the progressive New Israel Fund. New Israel Fund, a global organization based in the U.S., has supported Machsom Watch, but it has no connection to Shosberger. “I have no connection to the New Israel Fund,” Shosberger writes, in Hebrew.
The Im Tirtzu video satirically promotes a video game, where one plays a soldier confronting leftist activists:
“Do you want to experience what IDF soldiers feel when they are persecuted by New Israel Fund organizations?”, the narrator says.
In the game, the soldier confronts activists and ‘terrorists’ yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’. The narrator says:
“What are you waiting for? Join the fight against the foreign agents.”
In the actual video game, the soldier can kill the Palestinians, but has to jump over the Israeli activists.
Shosberger, who was protesting the manifestly illegal policy of shooting unarmed protesters, has also been trashed by a mainstream radio host who has publicly fantasized about her rape and murder, calling her “stupid”, “filth” and “little bitch”.
The Israeli organization “Im Tirzu“ calls itself “the largest grassroots Zionist movement in Israel,” but has been widely labelled “fascist”. A Jerusalem court judge has even ruled that this is a legitimate charge.
Its call to fight the “foreign agents” arose 2-1/2 years ago, when Im Tirtzu published a video which incited against four NGO’s: B’Tselem, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, Breaking the Silence, and HaMoked: Center for the Defense of the Individual. Staffers were personally named and framed as “foreign agents”.
“While we fight terror, they fight us,” the narrator said
That video coincided with the push from Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, herself arguably a fascist, of the “Transparency bill” nearly two years ago, which forced organizations that receive more than half their funding from institutions abroad (including from European governments), to disclose it prominently in official reports. The law does not specifically refer to leftwing organizations, but applies to about 25 NGOs. Rightwing NGOs, such as those supporting Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, tend to rely on private donations, which the law does not cover.
The recent video is a further incitement against those who criticize Israeli policy, and it is making a blanket judgement of any dissent to be a national treason by “foreign agents”.
Im Tirtzu is ostensibly calling for this treatment of “foreign agents” to be implemented in law. But the incitement there is so virulent, that it’s not difficult to see how someone might get the idea that they should take the law into their own hands, and ‘teach these foreign agents a lesson’ – as an act of patriotism, of course.
One might be inclined to see this merely as a ‘game’, as the video suggests it is. But it is not a game. It is dead serious. It’s as serious as when the mentioned mainstream radio host Shai Goldstein says he “feels like killing that woman” (Adi Shosberger). But many Israelis don’t seem to get this. It passes as mere ‘outrage’, justified by the notion that the “most moral army in the world” cannot possibly be carrying out acts of terrorism, or even acting in ways which are a “disgrace”.
Militarism is a religion in Israel, like Zionism, and people are being sacrificed by it in many ways. Mostly, it’s Palestinians – but it’s also those who show solidarity with them. Then you’re a “foreign agent”.
Israeli Zionists – blinded by their greed, hatefulness, immorality and self-righteousness – are too stupid to realize that:
– Zionist organizations like NIF are on their side (they, too, want Israel to remain a religion-supremacist “Jewish State”); and
– Israel’s on-going occupation and colonization of not-Israel and dispossession, oppression, maiming and murder of not-Israelis will be its downfall.
Zionism is hysterical. This is a cult out of control. All dissent is a target. Civil society is dying.
It is all rather reminiscent of another militaristic society that collapsed.

Julius Streicher was the antisemitic editor of the Nazi paper Der Stuermer. He was executed in 1946. He was executed at Purim. His last words were “Purimfest”. His contempt for Judaism never left him. And he is still winning

SPEAKING OF FASISTS/FASCISM:

“Israeli Zionists – blinded by their greed, hatefulness, immorality and self-righteousness – are too stupid to realize that”
You could also mention that under their current dictator in waiting they have become addicted compulsive liars. No truly civilised educated person believes a word that comes out of his mouth and sadly it has to be said that arguably the same now applies to the majority of the Jewish Israeli population who have fallen in line with his Mein Kampfian rants.
Increasingly this will translate into an avoid at all costs strategy if you come across a Zioland tourist in your home country or on holiday yourself abroad. A shame that the few remaining moral Israeli Jews who are appalled by the Fascist destination towards which their country is heading will suffer. They should get out asap and be pro – active in explaining to the civilised world why they got out. At the very least despite the difficulties they will be able to hold their head high and remind the world of the true values of Judaism.
EG The latest “twist” in the horrendous onslaught against the poor defenceless long suffering Jewish Israeli population by those nasty Gazan “terrorists” (100% of Gazans according to Herr Lieberman and he is an ex bouncer and knows all about these things ) is the horrendous fire kites of mass destruction which are being”flown” into Zioland. Apparently they have started bush fires. No of course they are not “false fire operations “. Zios would never light up their own nation – perish the thought. Lighting up other nations with state of the art missiles,white phosphorus munitions etc well that it OK when you are chosen.
