🧵"Until Gaza is erased"
I'm sure many of you heard of genocidal hit song Harbu Darbu (20M views on YT), but I haven't seen almost any mention of another contemporary Israeli hit song, not as popular as HD ("only" 1.8M views), but the lyrics are actually worse: "Shager" (launch)
The word "Shager" (launch), comes from the phrase "2, 3, Shager". It refers to the countdown before a drone's missile launch. Phrase was popularized in Israel after a video released by IDF spokesperson went viral. There have been many cultural references to the phrase ever since.
"Knocking on rooftops" refers to the known IDF practice, of dropping a small bomb before dropping a larger bomb on a building. It's supposed to serve as sort of an evacuation warning.
"The 10 plagues" refers to the biblical 10 plagues of Egypt.
"Plague of the Firstborn" ("Death of the Firstborn") refers to the last Plague of Egypt, when every firstborn Egyptian - young/old/male/female and livestock - died simultaneously.
"For every flower of ours we handed them a bouquet" - "flower" is military codename for casualty.
"Who's Crazy?" refers to a popular Israeli military rallying cry. A soldier or a commander would ask "Who's crazy?" and the soldiers would shout collectively "I'm crazy!"
"We wanted to dance in nature" refers to the October 7th Nova rave, where 347 civilians were massacred.
"Hope is not yet lost" refers to a line from the Israeli national anthem, "HaTikva" ("The Hope").
"Doing fauda" (said in Arabic) seems to refer both to the Israeli action TV show Fauda and to the act of "doing fauda" itself (literally "making a mess/creating chaos")
"Sublime People" ("Am Sgula") is a phrase that refers to the concept of Jews as "The Chosen People".

🧵While Israel Frey's case gets attention in Israel, with many condemning the arrest of a *Jewish* journalist, here what's going on with Palestinian journalists.
Yesterday, the arrest of Nasser Laham, prominent West Bank journalist, has been extended until Sunday. Nasser was abducted on Monday from his home in Bethlehem.
Two days ago, same day Frey was arrested, the trial of journalist Saeed Hassanein began, on the charges of "contact with a foreign agent" and "publication of praise and encouragement to terrorism".
Saeed is a Palestinian citizen of Israel. He is currently in house arrest, wearing an electronic bracelet. He's on trial for giving interviews to Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Manar. On trial for doing his job.
And in Gaza - another journalist was murdered by Israel.
Journalist Ahmad Abu Eisha was targeted by an Israeli drone in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. He's the 291st journalists to be murdered by Israel since October 7, 2023
This dead piece of shit, Avraham Azulai, was eliminated yesterday by resistance fighters in Gaza.
When he was a teenager he moved to Yitzhar, an ultra-Judeo-Nazi West Bank settlement, and opened a Jewish-only construction business. Recently he moved to Havat Shaked (Shaked Farm), one of Yitzhar's satellite outposts, built on private Palestinian land, of course. He was in Gaza with the stated purpose of destroying as many Palestinian homes as he could. May his name and memory be erased.
Here's a piece by public broadcaster Kan about another "Hebrew Work", i.e. Jewish-only construction company from Yitzhar
And this is the sign installed by Yitzhar's residents at the entrance to the settlement. They do no allow any Arab to enter Yitzhar, not even service providers. For example, once, an Arab medical worker was sent there to conduct Covid-19 tests and was denied entrance.
🧵A running thread about the arrest of anti-Zionist Haredi journalist Israel Frey, who's been moved, in an unprecedented move, to a "security prison" - a concentration camp for Palestinians, or "terrorists", as they are called by Israel.
Craziest thing is we all knew it already, since the IDF itself has been releasing videos showing drones targeting unarmed people, claiming they were "terrorists". MSM just completely ignored it. Maybe now when it comes from an Israeli outlet, they'll suddenly "uncover" such cases
🧵Calls for revenge by Netzach Yehuda Battalion soldiers, since the incident where 5 of them were eliminated.
Instagram story by a soldier wounded yesterday, depicting two shells bearing the names of two of those killed. Caption says "WE WILL AVENGE, WE WILL BURN, WE WILL RAPE"
In this Instagram story post, a Netzach Yehuda soldier includes photos of the blood of his dead friends smeared on his pants and in a vehicle. He captioned it: "Your blood has not been spilled for nothing. WE WILL AVENGE!!!""
"Let me with one blow get revenge on Palestine - may their name be erased - for my two eyes."
This story post features the battalion's soldiers dancing and singing the popular Judeo-Nazi revenge song "Remember Me" (for more on the song see quoted tweet)
Captioned: "Proud to be in this battalion. We raise our heads, look the enemy in the eyes, and getting ready to rip them apart. Go Netzach
🇮🇱🎗️💪⚔️⚔️🦁"
