THREAD 🧵
In 2002, hundreds of Israeli soldiers with tanks flooded the city of Ramallah, Palestine.
They had gained control of three of the four TV stations in the city.
Upon capture, the soldiers broadcast pornography on all three TV channels.
Why did they do this?

Why did they do this?
They understood Palestinian weak points.
They knew how to get to the heart, demoralize and cripple their soul.
Through the eyes and ears.
As Palestine is a Muslim state, porn is a horrible sin in their culture.
But it was not just purely for religious reasons.

As Palestine is a Muslim state, porn is a horrible sin in their culture.
But it was not just purely for religious reasons.
There was also a psychological influence of exposing the population (including children) to such extreme material.
As porn is widely unavailable in most Muslim societies, this would be the first subjection to porn for many residents of Ramallah.

Causing stress, anxiety, sadness...
Just about any negative state of mind you could think of.
The situation was intensified by the fact that they were not allowed to leave home.

They needed access to information, but half of the residents in the city had no electricity.
Those that did could only use their TVs for information, having to constantly switch between the horrifying material.

The broadcasts stole the modesty and decency of Palestinians.
It corrupted them on both a spiritual and
psychological level.
Poisoning the minds and hearts of their children. Trapping them indoors and taking away their only entertainment.
It was a dirty strategy.

Let this serve you as a reminder of the true nature of pornography.
It floods and soaks your heart, clogs your mind and paralyzes your soul.
It is a weapon designed and used to make you weak, controllable and obedient.
All it does is take from you.
